Description
A most reliable guide to practical astrology, this book does not contain startling predictions and amazing forecasts. But it is the product of investigations and studies by the author presented here in an orderly and scientific form but in simple language easily understandable by the average reader.
The book analyses the various combinations which have produced personages like Lord Krishna, the Buddha, Adi Sankara, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammad, Einstein, Akbar, Aurangzeb, Tippu Sultan, Vidyaranya, Tagore, Hitler, Suryanarain Rao, Abraham Lincoln, Subhas Bose, Aurobindo, Thyagaraja, Bernard Shah, Godse, etc.
In fine it is excellent for study and for research work. No other existing book contains such a collection of valuable data and horoscopes.
EXCEPTS FROM REVIEWS AND OPINIONS
Contains a seriously conducted scientific study of seventy-seven horoscopes and is bound to make a valuable addition to the stock of literature on predictive astrology devoted to pursuit of research, on critical and constructive lines. Prof Raman has pointed out in his well-reasoned Introduction the application of astrological theories of reading of the future significance of given charts.
-The Hindu, Madras
An unusual book in this field for it discusses the horoscopes of 77 men and women, past and present who became either famous or notorious. The book’s main value lies in its attempt to explain the co-relation between the main events in a person’s life and the astrological influences in his horoscopes.
