Important Yogas in Vedic Astrology (Revised Edition)
Vedic astrology is a very old and comprehensive faith of astrology. Though some other similar faiths are like streams or rivers, Vedic astrology is an ocean which can provide resources to many of these faiths. I have studied and researched many such faiths like Numerology and Vastu but none of them holds their ground without the support of Vedic astrology. It is the faith which is the backbone of many such faiths. This is what inspired me to make a carrier choice with the ocean itself. After years and years of this voyage; I can happily say that I made the right choice.
The fact that Vedic astrology is among the oldest faiths of its kind, also makes it vulnerable to many types of corruptions and adulterations from time to time. Some of these adulterations may be the results of misinterpretations of various concepts of Vedic astrology from time to time. Some others may be there because some scholars may have twisted some definitions, for selfish motives. Due to such adulterations, corruptions and misinterpretations, Vedic astrology may not look as capable and accurate to a number of people, as it actually is.
With the grace of Lord Shiva, I have spent years in researching various concepts of Vedic astrology. It has been a constant effort to find out where and how much, such concepts may have been misinterpreted; and what could be the correct interpretations of these concepts. Though in their misinterpreted forms, most such concepts of Vedic astrology don’t hold ground in real practice of astrology, almost all of them hold solid ground in their modified forms. This effort has taken many years of research and analysis of thousands of horoscopes. The results however, have been very rewarding.
This book is an effort to create awareness among the lovers of Vedic astrology that this faith is still as capable as it was when it was born. Various misinterpretations from time to time may have caused confusions related to many important concepts of this faith. Through this book, an attempt has been made to create awareness about true nature of a number of important Yogas mentioned in Vedic astrology.
These Yogas include benefic Yogas like Hamsa Yoga, Malavya Yoga, Ruchaka Yoga and Vipreet Rajyoga; and they include malefic Yogas like Guru Chandal Yoga, Grahan Yoga and Angarak Yoga.
In case of each one of these Yogas, its prevalent definition is given first. The scientific as well as logical probabilities of that definition holding well or not are discussed after that. Then the additional conditions required for proper formation of the Yoga are considered. Finally, other important factors which may affect the good or bad results given by that particular Yoga are discussed. This way, a logical, balanced and comprehensive approach has been implemented in case of each one of these Yogas.
