5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to jyotish ever., August 20, 2003
By "williamrobbins" (Rehoboth, DE United States) - See all my reviews
When I signed up for Brendan Feeleys' introductory
course in jyotish (vedic astrolgy), this was the textbook.
Need I say more?
OK, for the person new to vedic astrology, this
is probably the best first step.
It covers all the basics; the philosophy behind it,
the planetary significators,signs,houses, aspects,lordships,planetary periods (dashas), harmonic charts, introductions to medical astrology & remedial astrology, and a bevy of sample charts.
Deep concise and fun! Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gam Ganapataye Namo Namah!, May 10, 2001
By H. Smedbol (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Astrology of the Seers is an excellent introduction to Jyotish, as it is very clearly written, with elegance, and a poetic touch. As usual Vamadeva Sastri lives up to his name, and his book shows it. this is a very "spiritualised" approach to Jyotish, and was very helpful for me to get a foundation in seeing the Grahas as "spiritual beings" or Devas...Vamadeva's scholarship and grasp of the subtle is simply amazing, the mind is illumined by his fine writing, and the heart is melted in Divine Love. all i can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!! Koti Koti pranams to you David!

In the Mother's Divine Love, and in Her Service, as ever, Your own self,

visvanathan Om Amrtesvaryai Namah!
