The Book is Very Informative

I had a difficulty with the CD rom mainly instalation issues. The CD rom promts you to use old computer versions. The CD rom instuctions are not written in a clear/correct English language.

I feel that the book by itself will not be something that you will consider if you want to creata and read charts. It is more of an addition to previously leaned knowledge of how to compose and read Vedic Astrological charts.

Comprehensive Book for Beginners

This is one of the most comprehensive book on Vedic Astrology for Beginners and it's written in an easy to understand language.

The book covers much more material than other books for beginners in Vedic Astrology.

You'll learn about different formats of charts, the attributes of planets (grahas), signs (rasis), houses (bhavas), then you learn to combine them and see what happens with planets when they find themselves in different signs and in different houses and when rules of houses find themselves in other houses.

You will learn the basics of different planetary comabinations (yogas) and the attributes of 27 Nakshatras - moon signs. There is a brief chapter on one of the sub-charts - Navamsa. You will also learn few ways of rectifying the time of birth.

At this point you are guided through a step-by-step process for analyzing the chart as a whole - looking at the strength of planets, signs, and aspects, which ones seem favorable, etc.

Then, you can have fun learning how to work with transits and predict events, as well as find out what may be the best timing to start or end specific projects (e.g. business, marriage, etc.)

You will find a chapter on remedies you can use to strengthen desirable planetary influences or reduce those which are unfavorable. Several remedies are listed such as performing yagyas, chanting mantras (no specific mantras are mentioned in this book, though), doing charitable work, chanting vedic hymns, using gems. I would recommend Linda Johnsen's "A Thousand Suns" book for beginners in Vedic Astrology for those who are interested in learning much more about "remedies".

The book ends with few very brief chapter on chart comparisons, ayurveda and vastu.

Of course, to have fun with this book, you'll have to have your astrology chart done. The book contains a CD with a demo of Goravani Jyotish program, which may or may not work on your computer, and which may not let you save the chart on your computer. If you run into difficulty with creating or printing your own chart, feel free to contact me and I'll help you out by sending you your chart through the email.

Exelant for beginners

Exelent book for beginners in vedic astrology and even those who have more expariement. Purfect structure. Easy reading. Great book.

Easy and clear

Searching for a friendly book about Vedic Astrology, I bumped into this one and I decided to buy it because it looked well done.
I wasn't mistaken. The book is clearly written and covers all the most important topics about this subject. It doesn't linger in prolix and technical explanations but goes immediately to the point. It is not an easy task since the Vedic Astrology is not a common subject to deal with.
The book provides a clear explanation of planets, signs, houses, planetary combinations, rulerships and constellations and gives helpful information about each possible combination of these elements.
The second part is really useful as it teaches how to manage the collected data to obtain a coherent analysis by listing all the actions to take in a clear way.
The book also casts light on Muhurta (namely the art of predicting events), on mundane astrology and gives hints about how to compare two charts together.
Moreover, the last chapter introduces Ayurveda and Vastu (that's the Indian equivalent of Chinese Feng-Shui).
The book is also complete with a rich appendix containing many interesting and useful tables and a glossary of terms.
As for the CD, I can't say that it is of great help. It certainly makes the life easier because it allows to avoid performing certain calculations but the data and the options are very limited.
Anyway, this is a very good book that is worth to be considered as a reference point for everyone beginning an adventure in Vedic Astrology.
