Book Reviews of Ancient Hindu Astrology for the Modern Western Astrologer
Book Review: Braha tries to swim without knowing depth of the ocean
Summary: 3 Stars
First things first - This is NOT the FIRST book to be read on Vedic/Sidereal Astrology.
The first 2 books {to be simultaneously read} HAVE to be "Light on Life" (by Svoboda & Hart De fouw) and "Astrology of the seers" (By David Frawley.)
This book can be the THIRD book you read after having read the above two.
What is good about this book:
->It's not too bulky but is still quite comprehensive.
->All the stuff about placement of various planets in signs & houses is covered.
What isn't good about this book:
This is a *Text-Book.* Braha had little personal experience when he wrote this book. So there aren't many real world insights (they come in his later work - "The Art and Practice of Ancient Hindu Astrology: Nine Intimate Sessions Between Teacher and Student")
Somewhere in the preface Braha loudly proclaims that one of the reasons he wanted to write this book is to dispel the myth that "Vedic astrology is difficult to learn" (yeah it isnt if one purely follows the text book stuff - which would in real life make one fall straight on the face.)Years later, in his 9 intimate sessions book, Braha confesses that vedic astrology isn't meant to be comprehended by Humans. It needs a spark of divinity.
This is just an average book. But it serves as a important link between the absolute beginners & the intermediate level.
I give it 3 on 5 :-)
