Description
The 'Yogas in Astrology' deals primarily with the technique of analysis
and interpretation of the various astrological yogas according to
the Parashari system. • The approach to analysis is based on
the standard astrological principles which are so often ignored while
dealing with this all-important subject. • The role of the houses
where the various yogas form, the signs involved, the other planetary
influences on the yoga-forming planets, the strength and weakness
of the constituent planets, their status in the vargas, and the operating
dasha have all been elucidated with examples. • One full chapter
has been devoted to the famous, but ill-understood, Gaja-Kesari yoga
as a model example of the technique of yoga interpretation, and the
various factors which facilitate or obstruct the functioning of a
yoga. • The Pancha-Mahapurusha yogas, the solar and the lunar
yogas, and the important Dhana yogas, Raja yogas and Arishta yogas
have all been treated exhaustively. • The generally ignored
Nabhasa yogas have been classified in a unique manner and their significance
in horoscopic analysis emphasised. • One chapter is devoted
to the Snayasa yogas. • The book is profusely illustrated with
examples.
A must for all students of Vedic astrology. |

Review

Heartily Recommended
Reviewer: Dr. Parihar from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (August
28, 2001)
A need for a good, modern,and carefully written book on Yogas in (Hindu)
Astrology was long due. Dr. Charak has done the required work in brilliant
way. The book has complete systematic method for analsyis and interpratation
of various Yogas (planetary combination in Hindu Astrology). The book
is based on Parashari system of Astrology. The book is well written
and constructed. The much ignored Nabhasas Yogas are also investigated
in the book. In order to make the art of Yogas interpratation very
clear, Dr.Charak has very wisely used the famous Gaja Kesari Yoga,
as an example to explain the whole approach to interpret and analysis
the yogas. It would not be out of place to mention that after long
long time, ever since late Prof. B.Suryanarayana Rao wrote a book
on Yogas in early 1900's this is the only quality book, available
in the market, written by a deeply serious writer who is also known
for his clarity of expression and richness of material. A dispassionate
reader will not be slow to recognise the fact that the book as written
furnishes good food for reflective minds, especially because the book
is written by Dr. K S Charak, in his own inimitable style. I heartily
recommend the book to all lovers of Indian Astrology.
