This review is from: Myths and Symbols of Vedic Astrology (Paperback)

Bepin Behari is actually my *favorite* author. His profound spiritual insights are unmatched in modern Jyotisha literature. However, Behari is not for everyone. He is not a literalist. He treats some Vedic subjects as metaphors. You have to already like the theosophical cosmology to appreciate Behari's genius. To literalists, Behari can be irritating. Also, normally, Behari's prosaic Indian English writing style makes for cumbersome reading. However this particular volume is skillfully edited by the eminent American Jyotishi, David Frawley. Excellent section on nakshatra's. Behari's powerful theosophical cosmology shines through quite readable, uplifting prose. I recommend Myths and Symbols of Vedic Astrology to any cosmologically inclined beginner-to-advanced English-reading Jyotishi.

4.0 out of 5 stars a spiritual book on Vedic Astrology, August 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Myths and Symbols of Vedic Astrology (Paperback)

This is a spiritual book. It gives you a thorough introduction in the spiritual meanings of the signs, planets and Nakshatras in Vedic Astrology. This may not always be easy reading, but the spiritual depth of this book is enormous.

This review is from: Myths and Symbols of Vedic Astrology (Paperback)

I found myself going "aha!" from the very beginning. It got me more on the element of wonder it provoked about the design of our cosmos and the way ancient mythological symbols have always represented it, but very few have been able to grasp. Hopefully more people will become interested in these myths and symbols and question them more deeply. It could surprise alot of people who have been too intellectual and not open enough to absorb deeper connections, like this book illustrates so masterfully. I recemmend it highly.
