Maansagari Volume 2

Book excerpt: It is my profound privilege to present before the esteemed readers the English translation of the most inspiring and enlightening ancient classic Maansagari which was composed by Janardan Harji, the son of a head priest from Gujarat who was a devout scholar of Vedic Sastras and was known for his great virtues. Maansagari Paddhiti as the textual nomenclature suggests is the unique system of delineating horoscopes. It is a complete text explaining the use of many Yogas, different Dasa systems, transits as such and various Chakras. There is no other text that deals with all these lesser known tools of astrological prognostication namely Vargas, Dasas and Chakras. In this translation, all possible cross-references are cited to present the views of other writers as well as an explanation of the principles through examples and horoscopes that have been presented, for use by the students and scholars.
