The Book of Nakshatras: A Comprehensive Treatise on the 27 Constellations

by Prash Trivedi

It is common knowledge that the 12 star-signs map the sky and set the stage for the drama of life. This book expands this awareness manifold by revealing that it is the 27 constellations, and not the 12 signs, which truly map the ecliptic and provide the celestial backdrop for affairs on earth. Instead of taking away from the widely recognized meanings and significations of the 12 signs, they enrich them with a whole new depth of perspective and interpretation. These 27 cosmic transmitters were known to most ancients across the globe, as the celestial quarters of the gods. Their knowledge, however, has been most well preserved in the Vedic heritage of India, where they are known as Nakshatras. In addition to containing a 23 pronged dissection of these celestial portals, this work contains 27 colored picture images that capture the functionings of these constellations in a way that words cannot. It is our hope that you will enjoy this cosmic journey as much as we have enjoyed making it available to you.

I learned SO much about Vedic astrology in this book. I learned about my Satabisha sign, why I likely have sinus issues and even why most times? If I’m not running 1000x faster than normal? I’m the bed. Where I’m happy. Read it!!!

This book is the same book "The 27 CELESTIAL PORTALS" by Prash Trivedi

the ashlesha chapter was predictably degrading, but otherwise this was solid

Do you understand groping around in dark ? well, many of us do. Lets say this book shines brilliant light and seems to give one chance at real light. If you are intelligent, just browsing through the book would be enough to understand that this book is princely rather kingly among all the Vedic astrology nakshatra books available out their in the market. I would give 10 stars for the review that has 5 stars in it and that would be no exaggeration.
