RARE BOOKS ON PREDICTIVE INDIAN ASTROLOGY
RARE BOOKS ON PREDICTIVE INDIAN ASTROLOGY RARE BOOKS ON ASTROLOGY FOR THE SEEKERS I have got some rare books as under which I would like to make accessible to all Astrologers who may be interested. Some of them are advanced, while the others are good for both beginners and Experts. These will come as Photostat Copies in Spiral binding to you, since the Originals are not available, either due to reprinting not done or no copies available anywhere for sale.
Author – Chandrakant R. Bhatt 1) Nakshatra Chintamani by Chandrakant R Bhatt. This book has always been out of print and one has to find ways and means of acquiring the same. The traditional Astrologers most of them most of the times find themselves at cross roads when it comes to Predictions, though they are experts at Theory work. But this is not astrology. One is interested in our Predictions and not in our lectures on character or nature analysis when one comes to us with his chart. This book will teach you how to predict in the most simplest manner ever you may have ever imagined. Once you understand this book after a couple of readings through the numerous illustrations given in same, you will be able to consider yourself as a KP Astrologer. Comments – I recommend this book for any astrologer who wishes to fine tune his predictions. You will thank me after you have gone through it.
2) Further Lights on Nakahatra Chintamani by Chandrakant R Bhatt. (This book is an extension Book written on the above world famous Book “Nakshatra Chintamani” by the same author.)
3) Nirayana Horoscopes and Western aspects by Chandra kant Bhatt Comments – Again this author is renowned and so are his books. This particular book is valuable for those who know Western astrology, aspects, terms etc.
4) Horoscopes and Diseases by Chandrakant Bhatt Comments – This is a must have book for a medical Astrologer by this renowned author.
Author – Seshadri Iyer
5) New Techniques of Prediction by Seshadri Iyer (Part 1 and Part 2) (This is the best Book on Yogi, Avayogi, and has many other techniques which defy the Traditional Knowledge, including a Mathematical Formula on how to check Impotency in a Man. The author needs no introductions.)
6) Race Astrology by Seshadri Iyer (New Techniques of Prediction Part III) Comments- Who does not know this man? His previous books are also in much demand in the market at any given time.
Author – Subramanya Shastri
7) Varahamihira's Brihat Jataka by V.Subramanya Sastri. I have got quite a few translations of the Brihata Jatak, but not any as good as this one. The second edition of this book was published in 1971. The best part of this book is that after every shloka the Notes given by the author compile almost every other author in the rendering of the meaning of the shloka, given alongwith explanations. This is like
few teachers explaining the same shloka to us in first person. The index of this Book itself contains 32 Pages and one can immediately search for the shlokas of any event one is looking for. Comments – This is a must have book to refer to by any novice or Expert in astrology.
8) Shreepathy Padhaty by Subramanium Shastry. (This Book will help only those Astrologers who want to learn Calculations on this. It will not help one who is looking for learning predictive Part)
Author NN Krishna Rau
9) Missing Links of Hindu Astrology by NN Krishna Rau Comments – All his books needless to say are worth keeping in one's personal Library.
10) Nakshatra, Tithi and Gochara Phala by NN Krishna Rau The name is Self explanatory and the author is renowned for his simplicity yet effective approach towards astrology.

Books on Stock Markets and Speculations
12) Commercial Ever Ready Numerology by Pt. Ganga Prasad (Best application of Numbers to forecasting Market prices and winners in Lotteries and Horse racing etc.) This book was written it seems before 1960's in time of Rupees and annas. Some use of Western astrology (Aspects) as well as Dhruvank etc. has been done to reach desired results. The author has given rules of forecasting daily rise and fall in prices of commodities and Shares. A good number of examples have been presented as illustrations. Comments – I have not personally used the principles mentioned therein for am not into Racing, Lottery or into Shares. (At least not presently).
13) Planetary influence on markets Revised by NL Patel. This book too it seems as been written in 1935 and extra Saturnine planets have been taken into account. This book does not deal with regards to gambling or Racing, but only connected to Shares, Stocks, Cotton, and Bullion Markets. The author mentions that this is his Life time study. Comments – Same as above
14) Market forecasting by Fakir Chandra Dutt This Book too deals with Forecasting Price fluctuations, for Wheat, Sugar,Rice,Cotton,Rubber,Jute, Bullion and Individual Shares.

Comments – Same as above

It contains the Original Predictive Principles of Nadi Astrology which may be an eye opener to all, because a glaring fact may open up in front of You, that nadi astrology of the ancients was actually all based on nakshatras and Gunas of the Planets. This is the Original work from which KP (Krishnamurthy Padhaty has evolved) Comments – All may not understand this. So only who prefer Nakshatra in Nadi may request for this book.

It starts from the first syllable of the Gayatri mantra and co relates the same to the first nakshatra and The First Raashi Mesh in the Zodiac System, and concludes to the end with the last nakshatra and raashi Meena. This Book does not teach you any technique of jyotisha but shows you the interrelations of the Nakshatras – jyotish with the Gayatri mantra. It also brings you to the origin of the nakshatras on how they got their names and existence. It is not written by an Astrologer but by an Avadhoot Yogi. This book is worth tens of thousands of Rupees.
30) A Book on medical Astrology (Author Unknown). This is a fat Book written very well by God knows who, but almost all diseases are covered and individually explained, and the significations of astrological causes presented in a lucid manner. I recommend this Book for all those into medical Astrology.
31) Astrology and Jyotirvidya by VD Sharma (This is a book I purchased 30 years ago, but still refer every week. In none of the 2000 Books I have, have I seen the explanations of nakshatras done so well. This Book is the Only book which explains the use of Numerology of the Planets applied to Astrology, and how to locate events. This is the Real book of astrology written by a Bengali Master).
32) Jataka Narayaneeyam by Surya Narayan Murthy (A Fat book containing many discussions on the principles of astrology. This is a bed time Book to enjoy and learn when wife is asleep. It is worth a reading for any Astrologer).

(This book is a compendium of few Books, and I do not know who has done it for there are No names given… It’s a useful Book though undoubtedly).
39) Mantra Vidya by Karnidaan Sethia (Hindi) A wonderful book on various Mantras for various ailments and ills of the Body, Soul, and problems occurring in ones Life. Such Books are not available these days.
(If you are into Tarot then let me know, I have the world’s best book for you)
NOTE :- I have purchased all the above books in Black, as I was NOT born when many of these were written or sold, or was a small boy when it was sold, so could not have purchased them at that point of time obviously., and at many a times I have paid exorbitant prices ranging from Rs. 750- to Rs.2500- for many of these Books and others which List I will be putting up soon (Sayana Books). But I was never disappointed because when one procures Knowledge, then the cost is immaterial for the seeker. So whenever you ask me the price please note that it will not be for the Xerox copy, but will also contain my recovery cost of the same. (If one begins calculating the Amount I have paid for the Photostat of the number of pages, then one will be disappointed). Therefore if you are able to pay for knowledge then its okay. If You just want to pay for paper, then the Stationery shop is a better choice.
Please contact on following Cell Number if you require any Copies from above.
