この電子書籍について

In Vedic astrology, the associations the planets form or variations of how they are placed in a horoscope are referred to as yogas. Yoga literally means union or that which adds, joins or yokes. Astrologically, Yoga refers to planetary combinations or configurations and their special results, which affect the life of an individual. In traditional Indian ephemeris, known as Panchang, Yoga is also a particular division of time, arrived at by adding longitudes of the Sun and the Moon at birth. These are 27 in number, starting from Viskumbha to Vaidhriti, each governed by a different constellation or lunar-mansion, which are also 27 in number. In spiritual field, the word “Yoga” means training, taming and stimulating the body and mind with universal soul. In Ayurveda, the yoga of two or more medicines gives specific results. Yogas are one of the unique features of Vedic astrology. There are hundreds of yogas mentioned in various classical texts. Most of the yogas are formed of more than one planet, but all combinations do not mean a yoga formation. The idea behind these yogas is to equate the planets’ strength in a chart, and how & when they will produce their effects in a native’s life.

Astrology. That is not Shanker’s alibi to while away lazy hours, it is his preferred passion - a passion that fell his way in childhood, a zeal that he picked from his father. As a child Shanker often saw his father, a bureaucrat-astrologer, scrambling with dates and numbers on a horoscope; he often sat at his father's feet as he flipped through books to unravel the mysteries of human lives and existence; while boys his age were fiddling with cars and machines, Shanker sat hours to partake in intellectual debates about the futility and paradoxes of life that his father had with his friends and fellow astrologers.

The esoteric so fascinated Shanker that he studied astrology to become a Jyotishacharya. As word spread, Shanker’s weekends started getting crowded, friends sought solace and answers, strangers knocked his doors for ways to mollify an irate planet. The more he delved, the more astrology intrigued him. He perused his personal library of 3,000 books trying to cull wisdom from ancient scriptures and musings of sages. And the more he studied the more he felt the need to share his knowledge with others - a need that has resulted in nine path-breaking books on astrology.
