For the first time a book on Vedic Astrology not only consolidates the various types of remedial measures available in the sacred literature, but also shows how to read the horoscope and recommend Vedic Remedies. The author explains classification of remedial measures on the basis of Guna (Nature) and cautions the astrologer against indulging in black magic and other forms of black tantricism that will only destroy his good karma. The Scientific study of phonemes called Mantra Shastra has been explained in considerable details, showing the importance of choosing the correct mantra with illustrative calculations. A compendium of Mantra provides a ready reference for the professional Vedic astrologer and a comprehensive chapter on Gemology with ready reference tables guides the reader in the choice of the right gemstone.
Normally as a member of Indian council of Astrological Sciences (ICAS) we are not supposed to talk of remedies in vedic astrology. But I wish to break the tradition by reviewing one of the greatest book on remedies I've read. If you want to explore remedies in vedic astrology then this is THE book to read, refer & retain in your shelves & minds. I consider Sanjay Rathji to be the father of modern vedic astrology. Two of his books made me his educative disciple- one Crux of Vedic astrology (we fondly call it COVA )& the other, this book. We grapple with remedies by pundits & quacks & try to interpret them in vain. But this book elucidates all remedies scientifically & systematically. I consider the chapter on gems as a gem of knowledge found nowhere else. As one size does not fit all, all remedies are tailor made for individual rashis & horoscopes. I recommend this book as the single solution for all astrological remedies. If you ask me as a doctor, this is the prescription for the varied diagnosis of astrological problems. TRULY A CLASSIC...
