This is a book that I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of learning Vedic Astrology. Congratulations Ronnie on a job well done. I would recommend this book to the newcomer to vedic astrology a worthy contribution to the limited although expanding number of vedic books. A dazzling tour de force on a topic that needs elucidation for modern astrologers. Readers thinking about taking a dip in the ocean on vedic astrology will find this book an excellent place to wade in. Vedic veterans will benefit from Ronnie's valuable new material on planetary combinations.
Among various Vargas, the relative importance of Navamsha is universally acclaimed. Astrologers consider it to be just next to birth chart or equal to birth chart or even better than the birth chart. Almost all astrologers use Navamsha and birth chart together to assess strengths of various houses and planets before giving any opinion. In Vedic astrology, Navamsha occupies an outstanding position and draws one’s attention for deeper understanding/ scrutiny due to its multifarious technique and usage. The additional inputs in the form of scintillating concepts by Jaimini and Nadi system have made the subject more engrossing. The author has tried to incorporate the same in the book. The study of a birth chart gives only the gross (Sthool) indications of characteristics of various houses and planets; while Navamsha offers their detailed (Sookshmatar) values. It is so because a Navamsha is basically equal to both in its size and extent to a quarter/ one fourth / pada of a Nakshtra, thereby giving it a stellar role. While a house represents a combined spectrum of 30 degrees, a Navamsha provides a microscopic view of 3° 20’ or 1/ 9 part of a sign only.
Panchanga is an ancient vedic technique which has disappeared from current ptactice. It is used to discover the strength of the different sources of 'light' in the natal chart which show one's response to the challenges of life. This book shows how relevant this technique is to life.
The blessings of "Shri Bala Chandrika" has enabled me to place before the astrological fraternity, a long needed treatise which is somewhat fulfilled by writing an independent and exclusive book on "Navamsa" techniques for the first time in English. In Hindu predictive astrology, Navamsa occupies an outstanding position and draws one’s attention for deeper scrutiny and understanding. The Navamsa techniques are very many, as many as possible are dealt with in this book. Students are advised to study not only the classical texts but also Nadi Granthas, such a Deva Keralam: Chandra Kala Nadi, Dhruva Nadi, Bhrigu Nadi etc. for additional knowledge.
