DESCRIPTION:
Brihat Jataka has over 407 Shlokas. The first in this book explains the technical terms and concepts. The second explains the characteristics, positions, relations, metals, qualities, places and natures of the planets. The third chapter deals with the births of birds, animals, insects and trees. This deserves an elaborate treatment and long research. The fourth chapter dealing with Nisheka refers to women’s conception, and other factors. Peculiarities of birth and Balarishta are taken up in the next two chapters. The seventh and eighth chapters explain Amsa and Pinda Ayurdayas. These have greater validity than the popularly used dasa systems in determining longevity. The ninth gives a brief account of Ashtakavarga. The tenth is about Profession. The results of the conjunctions of planets are explained in chapter 14th. The next one is about Renunciation. Influences of the constellations, lunar effects in the different signs, results of planets in various signs, effects of the planetary aspects, and effects of the planets in various Bhavas (houses) are dealt with in the next five chapters. Some special combinations are given in the twenty first chapters. Miscellaneous items are taken up in the next chapter. The 23rd chapter deals with misfortune. 24th Chapters is about Female Horoscopy which finds elaborate treatment in Saravali. The 25th chapter is about death. How to erect lost or unknown horoscopes is given a fairly good treatment in chapter 26. The 27th is about Decanates. The last one numerates the contents of the text. Brihat Jataka is a classic and one who does not master this text can never grasp the fundamentals of the science of Astrology. There are many translations of this text, and we have tried to offer a useful and valuable commentary.

DESCRIPTION:
There are not many books on gems. The author, in this book has done a yeoman service both to the gems and to their wearers. Gems are bestowed with divine powers. They can perform miracles if worn in a proper way. This book provides you accurate knowledge about the use of right stone at suspicious time in a right way. The learned author has given details about composition, constituents, chemical properties and medicinal use of gems in this small but very useful book. Herein you will get information about precious, semi precious and inexpensive gems, their sources and formation, their correspondence with planets, their powers to protect from malignant influences of planets and warning about coming danger. In this book you will get very useful information about artificial gems and test of genuine gems. It is equally useful for gem-wearers, astrologers and those who deal in gems. The love of precious stones is deeply implanted in the human heart and the cause of this must be sought not only in their colouring and brilliancy but also in their durability. The sheen and colouration of precious stones are the same today as they were thousands of years ago and will be for thousand of years to come. In a world of change the permanence has a charm of its own that was early appreciated. The influence exerted by precious stones was assumed in medieval times without question. Auto suggestion may also afford an explanation that is mysterious in the effects attributed to precious stones, for if the wearer be firmly convinced that the gem he is wearing produces certain results, this conviction will impress itself upon his thought and hence upon his very organism. He will really experience the influence, and the effects will manifest themselves just as powerfully as though they were caused by vibrations or emanations from the material body of the stones.

His message of personal responsibility and the importance of connecting with the broader world is presented in a non-sectarian and non-political way. Direct and ultimately life-affirming, this book will resonate with readers today who are looking for a new way to understand and find hope in challenging times. Part One of the book consists of seven talks that Krishnamurti gave in Saanen, Switzerland, in 1972.
