Preface The genesis of Vedic Astrology is inherent in the Vedas and is deciphered by the sages and seers. While there may be varied methods of interpretation of dicta of the sages, this in no way can alter the basic temperament and nature of the subject. It is there is the Upanishads that the truth is only truth, nothing else but truth, forever truth, even when it is expounded in different manners. Therefore, we do not have any choice of methods in interpretation other that that handed down by the sages. There is no room for any sort of self-willed and autocratic manner of enunciation about comprehension of the subject. This present composition by Dr. Suresh Chandra Mishra has been written accord
