Lessons on Vedic Astrology – Volume II 5 PREFACE We are very happy to present this work for the rest of the Vedic Astrology student community. We the students of SJC-Boston group are very fortunate to have a Jyotish Guru like Sri. PVR Narasimha Rao, teach us the concepts in Vedic Astrology from ground zero. We have been maintaining the mp3 audio of these lessons at http://vedicastro.home.comcast.net We have earlier compiled 1-45 lessons as volume-I and we have received good feedback indicating it was useful and hence we are compiling lessons 46-77 and is being released as volume-II. We hope this volume will supplement the mp3 audio as volume-I did. We realized that when we wanted to go back and listen to a particular concept, it has been very difficult to track where that concept was talked about and in which lesson. So, it was an idea to provide a summary of each class highlighting the topics covered and the keynotes for each of the classes. That is the purpose of this book. A different student summarized each lesson and we tried to keep the overall format of the structure very similar. But, there would be some differences in the presentation due to individual’s style of writing. Each of the classes has several important concepts covered, examples solved along with key points in astrology that were relevant to the topic of discussion but, not really part of the concept that was being talked about. The intention was to capture all those points under “key points” section. In most cases other than the obvious the name of the person in the example charts is left out in this book so that, the listener of the audio will not be biased while analyzing the chart. In this volume we are capturing all lessons from 46 through 77 which were taught between July 2005 and August 2006. Appendix “A” highlights all the abbreviations used in this book. Appendix “B” is gives quick reference of all the lessons with example chart’s data. We are extremely thankful to Sri. P.V.R. Narasimha Rao for teaching the classes to benefit all astrology students. We are thankful to Pt. Sanjay Rath for the astrology conferences and allowing us to associate with Sri Jagannath Center for learning of Vedic Astrology. We are thankful to Sri.Narayan Iyer of Sri Jagannath Center for readily accepting our request to proofread and provide guidance. Our thanks to Master Manasvi Putcha for the graphics on the cover design. Our sincere thanks to Sri. Prabhu Hingorani and Smt. Savitri Hingorani of Sadhu Vaswani Center, Dracut, Massachusetts, USA for giving us the premises free of cost for conducting the astrology classes. Any mistakes in this book are totally on that part of us, the students and will rectify them as they are noticed. Students of Narasimha SJC-Boston 29 July 2007.
