3.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic Without Depth, August 31, 2000

This book is a tremendous tease. It is packed with exciting ideas for chart interpretation that bring you to the boiling point, and then leave you there. I found this frustrating and leaving me to wonder if the whole point of the book wasn't simply to advertise the contributors' private practices.

You'll get great ideas and perhaps a springboard or two for further research, but don't look for any in-depth discussion.

2.0 out of 5 stars Digitalis, December 26, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hindu Astrology Lessons: 36 Teachers Share Their Wisdom (Paperback)

I would have to agree with Scott. The book is all dressed up with no place to go. With very few exceptions (mentioned later) none of the articles have any depth or utility. At the most they let you know that a method exists so that you can find out more about it. I will have to say that the article by Shyamasundara Dasa called "Astamangala Deva Prasna" was atypical from the others and a fascinating read. Too bad the other articles could not have been as good. He has other very good articles published on his website.

Short articles about the more subtle aspects of Hindu astrology. This book is highly recommended if you want to know more then most beginners books have to offer. This book is stimulating and will greatly enhance your skills when practising Hindu astrology.
