In the ancient times, Astrology was used to diagnose diseases much before those could happen and also to take remedial measures to ward off these diseases. In this book, an attempt has been made to collect the various astrological combinations given in the classical books and also to add to these the combinations which have been found applicable to various new diseases based on statistical analysis.
It is my profound privilege to present before the esteemed readers the English translation of the most inspiring and enlightening ancient classic Maansagari which was composed by Janardan Harji, the son of a head priest from Gujarat who was a devout scholar of Vedic Sastras and was known for his great virtues. Maansagari Paddhiti as the textual nomenclature suggests is the unique system of delineating horoscopes. It is a complete text explaining the use of many Yogas, different Dasa systems, transits as such and various Chakras. There is no other text that deals with all these lesser known tools of astrological prognostication namely Vargas, Dasas and Chakras. In this translation, all possible cross-references are cited to present the views of other writers as well as an explanation of the principles through examples and horoscopes that have been presented, for use by the students and scholars.
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.
