Janma, the Birth – Part A

The book contains four important sections, (1) Ādhānakuṇḍalī or conception chart, (2) Birth circumstances, (3) Viyoni Janma or non-human births, and (4) Principles of naming. Life is a miracle, which starts with conception. The ancient Maharṣis and Ācāryas have recognized this important moment as the start of life. They are unanimous in stating that the correct time of birth for assessing a Kuṇḍalī is the conception time, and the birth time is used in the absence of the conception time. Yet, the method of computing the conception chart is shrouded in mystery. Besides, by understanding our birth circumstances, we get valuable insights into the workings of the Grahas in a Kuṇḍalī. Undoubtedly, this is immensely useful in verifying the Janma Lagna. The Viyoni Janma section contains the principles for deciphering the Kuṇḍalī of animals, birds and trees. The study of the Viyoni Janma helps us see the beauty of the unified principles that govern everything. One can be used to judge the health issues of pets and cattle and take preventive actions. The principle of the naming section tells us why the name is so significant and must be well thought based on a set of established principles. One may not find practical tips in the book for making quick predictions. But one may find a wealth of knowledge on how everything in the universe is governed by the same set of unified principles, harmonious and consistent.
