It is work on Nakshatras as a scholarly rendition of understanding pursuing a query and performing a scientific evaluation of Vedic and Puranic sources. However, those who are serious readers and seek some real understanding and also those who want to undertake study in astrology, they should definitely go thr Marvellous. However, those who are serious readers and seek some real understanding and also those who want to undertake study in astrology, they should definitely go through it.
It is another thing, that he has given some of his own interpretations. But, that is as per the craft of scientific evaluation of the sources which he has referred. Those who swear by Vedic knowledge and Sanskrit language may just try to peep into it and learn how to be humble and then claim glory for the things for which they shout with pitched screams about their greatness.
A great work. The Vedic knowledge demands scientific temperament. But, merely chanting on the premises that each mantra is Sidha, is a delusion. Upanishads are the result of scientific evaluation and not of chanting.
The argument of the author that one should not give too much importance to the pad or house is definitely a premises which required to be considered. Learning and Unlearning goals are a colloquial way of telling the brain activity. Nothing is unlearned. You have to push it back or develop the ability to suspend one's the so-called understanding of a subject. It is from there, one can begin to receive the new set of data or information.
Therefore, if you want to follow his evaluation, then you have to learn to suspend that the House effect. The author has explained that how it is important to learn the influence of nakshatras. The book is also given me a complex. It has shown me that I have more to learn about Hindu mythology.
The author has given me many subjects and questions on which I will now pursue my quest of new data. Sep 11, Shagun Tripathi rated it it was amazing Shelves: indian-mythology.
I would have stopped at 4 stars, but the extra one goes to the lifetime of learning that Vicji has poured into this beautiful introduction to Nakshatra Taras. It is the beginner's manual and the expert's reference book on Constellations wrapped into one. I personally love the illustrative images, I used my sky-gazing apps to watch the stars based on Vicji's illustrations in the book, and the delight never ends!
Sep 28, Keshav rated it it was ok. Always a delight to read mythology with its absurd stories and fantastical narratives. Reading Indian myth is more rewarding to me not exclusively owing to my nationality but also since it has a continuity to the present day, something that the Greeks or Iranians etc can't claim.
Anyway, I digress. At odd pages the book is a light and quick read, the author doesn't dwell on any constellation for more than a few pages. The book has a strong Vaishnavite lens, with multiple highlights of Vishnu Always a delight to read mythology with its absurd stories and fantastical narratives.
The book has a strong Vaishnavite lens, with multiple highlights of Vishnu and Krishna notice cover image and eg significantly more detail about Vishnu's Shravana vs Bhaga's Purva Phalguni. The author felt the need to simplify, and he has added a helpful appendix and also a short, sentence-long redux of the key characteristics of the gods behind the stars. Any parallel to Western myths of these constellations is restricted to identifying their present day names.
Tl; dr: Good for a first intro to what it professes to be. Jul 28, Sonal Goel rated it it was amazing. This book is my favourite, love it. Vic Di Cara is exceptional as a teacher and narrator.

Good introduction, but I need more information. This will lead me into further books on the subject. Awesome read very informative. Clear and uncluttered This was a very crisp and clear explanation of the nakshatras. The concepts were easy to follow, and can be easily referenced.
Before finding this and Nakshatra - The Authentic Heart of Vedic Astrology I was lost due to life circumstances that I could have never foreseen coming. It opened my eyes and gave me access to a whole new world that only existed in my dreams. My fear of the unknown decreased due to the clarity gained through the simplicity of the explanations of the nakshatras, gods, symbolism, etc. The universal connection to other theories and the combination of resources used allowed me to see the greater pic Before finding this and Nakshatra - The Authentic Heart of Vedic Astrology I was lost due to life circumstances that I could have never foreseen coming.
The universal connection to other theories and the combination of resources used allowed me to see the greater picture of events taking place in my life and how the materials needed to create prosperity lie within.
