Jyotiṣa Upāya: Remedies in Vedic AstrologyRelease date: Viajaya Dashami, Oct 12th 2024
Pre-order the Book NowThe subject of remedies is not often addressed in books on Vedic Astrology. But remedies are the culmination of the study of astrology. Sage Parashara's classic text builds to the final teachings on remedies. Without remedies, there is little use in looking at a birth chart to determine the likelihood of future events. To do so would be like a physician diagnosing a disease without prescribing any medicine or treatment.
This detailed text tells of Swamiji's experiences with the gurus who taught him about the practices. It introduces all the basic concepts of astrology, which are not always well understood today, to lay the groundwork for discerning which remedies will be needed most. The text also explains how remedies work and provides details for how to effectively implement various astrological remedies to improve health, wealth, relationships, success, and for the fulfillment of one's dharma, and for spiritual realization. There is possibly no other book on the subject in print which is so comprehensive. 807 pp. |
