The Essentials of Vedic Astrology Paperback – February 25, 1999

fast shipping , nice packaging came just as described. It was for a gift so I can’t tell you much more.

Fabulous read for those looking to learn the art and science of Jyotish, or, Vedic astrology. There were some things that I had to reread, like the section on divisional charts, but Ms. Sutton's take on Jyotish is thorough and explained with a lot of care. She explains all the basics like the navagraha (nine planets), nakshatras (lunar mansions or constellations), bhavas (houses) and rashis (zodiac signs), all in simplistic language. She goes even further by teaching you HOW to convert a natal chart from tropical to sidereal (which is what Vedic uses) by calculating the difference in degrees, known as Ayanamsa. She ALSO teaches the ancient philosophy of the Vedas, of which Jyotish is a branch of. I mean, look at the table of contents, she's leaving no stone unturned in terms of taking those first steps. The rest is up to you!Overall, this is an EXCELLENT textbook for any astrology student looking for more knowledge. By the end of this book, she guides you through a chart interpretation, synthesizing all that you have learned in the earlier chapters. Hey, perhaps you could help someone else on their learning journey! Ms. Sutton is an wonderful teacher who shares knowledge freely with the hope that you humbly understand. Recommend, recommend, recommend!

I gave it a five because that's a great book. It's well written and covers all the important points that a beginner need to learn. Ms. Sutton is clearly the best, her predictions about Princes William and Harry are spot on. This book inspires me to keep learning Vedic Astrology. I truly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning Vedic Astrology.

Very Helpful for students of Vedic Astrology. She does her teacher, Dr. Sinha, well.

THE guru for our time has put it all in a book for us.If you are serious about Jyotish, this is the voice to listen to.

One of the Best Astrologers in this World. Very easy to use and clear. This has a constant source of reference for my studies.

A Very good book from Komilla ji, I am a student of Jyotish and Komilla ji, this book, explains the Essentials or fundamentals of Jyotish. This book also offers some deep insight into spiritual aspects as well as Astrology is a spiritual science and ultimately its goal is to liberate us from our own negative patterns.
