YouTube for Vedic Astrology Books

How to find a Vedic astrology book on Internet?

You might be aware of YouTube.com, a popular website for sharing videos. On the same line, there is a website http://www.scribd.com/ for sharing documents. On this website you get almost all classical texts and lots of new books on vedic astrology. This website is not just for astrological books, and like youtube, you can search document on any subject here. I believe it also allows you to download the document for future reference. Like YouTube, it also has a related document section, so you will find similar files on the right pane. For example, I searched for Saravali, and also found Phaladeepika, Bhrigu Sutram, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra etc. in the related documents list.

Here are the direct links to some of the classical books on vedic astrology
Stri Jatak
Satya Jataka
Bhavartha Ratnakara
Bhrigu Sutras
Uttarakalamritam
Phala Deepika
Kalyana Varma's Saravali

Few More Books Download

One of the readers of this blog asked for Lal Kitab. I remember I had one copy of Lal Kitab in downloadable format. But this time I was unable to find it. I did a google search for Lal Kitab. But surprisingly it brings me to this blog. Anyway, I found another page where there were some other books available for download. You will also find some other Vaidik astrology treatise like Garga Hora, Bhavartha Ratnakar, Prashna Tantra and Sanketnidhi.

Free Astrology Books Download

I have seen lots of people searching for free Vedic astrology books. I have found one website where they have given all ancient Vedic astrology treatise like Brihat Jatak, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS), Saravali, Garga Hora, and Horasara etc. Other than that you will find all four Vedas i.e. Riga veda, Sama veda, Yajur veda, and Atharva veda and upnishadas.

For ease of download I am also giving the direct link of the books here -

Brihat Jataka (zip.74KB)
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (zip.195KB)
Kalyana Varma's Saravali (zip.164KB)
Garga Hora by Sage Gargacarya (zip.56KB)
Horasara of Prithuyasas (zip.95KB)

First three books are called Brihattrayi (three biggies) of Vedic astrology. It means that these are the three most important Vedic astrology reads. Without these one can not complete his/her jyotish learning. I hope you will find it useful.

Astrology Books and Authors for beginners

When any student of astrology starts digging the subject a little deeper, the difficult question arises - which books and authors one should read? You will
find yourself in ocean of books where you have to find perfect match to your aptitude and requirements. There are translation of treatise from various sages, there are commentaries, there are books on various systems of vedic astrology and various other books. Confusion, confusion and more confusion !!!

There are books and authors which can destroy your learning altogether. For
example read Naryan Dutt Shrimali, infamous Indian astrologer, and I can assure you, you will forget whatever you have learnt in the past :-) So choosing right books and authors is very important for your astrology learning. Here I am presenting a list of authors who can help you in learning astrology. I am not presenting a list of books as it will be a big list in itself, there are many good books which suits different aptitude and taste. Here is the list and I tried to rank them according to the utility for the beginner -

1. J.N. Bhasin, Books published mostly form Ranjan Publications, Good books are: Janampatri Swayam Banaiye, Art of Prediction, Sapta Rishi Nadi, Uttar Kalamrita


2. K.S. Krishnamurti, Books published mostly from Krishnamurti Publications, Good book is Fundamental Principles of Astrology


3. Gayatri Devi Vasudev, Books published mostly from Motilal-Banarasidas
   & UPSBD, Good books are: Horary Astrology, How to Judge the
   Horoscope - part II.


4. Major Khot, Books published mostly from Motilal-Banarasidas, Good books are: Laghu-Parashari Siddhanta


5. K.N. Rao, Books published mostly by Vani Graphics, Gook book is:
   Astrology, Destiny and the Wheel of Time.


6. K.H.N. Katve, Books published by Nagpur Prakashan, Good books are: books in 25 books series.

I have chosen above authors due to their methodological approach and
clear-cut presentation.
There are few other authors that one should not (or never) read. Here is the list -

• Narayan Dutt Shrimali


• Rajesh Dixit


• Bhojraj Dwivedi

Lack of Astrological Resources

I tried (in fact, tried very hard) to find some websites on astrology which can help serious student of astrology as well as provide some genuine information related to astrology. But as you might guess - without any success. We all know that the present world is full of hoax information related to vedic astrology. I find it extremely difficult to find genuine and reliable information on this subject on Internet. For example it is difficult to find any website pertaining to KP, Lal Kitab, Jaimini, Mundane, Varshaphal, Ashtakvarga on any other branch of vedic astrology. Forget about the genuine or false information, it is difficult to find information at all. Seeing the unavailability of resources on Internet, few years back, I started few discussion groups on yahoogroups. In those groups, my Lal Kitab and KP Astrology group has especially gained a lot of popularity. These groups are still the only source to understand these braches of astrology on Internet. Seeing the success of my technology blogs, I decided to try this concept with astrology too. I hope this blog will be able to bring genuine information to you.
