Beliefs of the Author

(Education breeds modesty; the Earth is one family, Let all be prosperous)

Om Shantih, Shantih, Shantih

I am grateful to the Almighty God and my Gurus for their continuous shower 6f grace on me.

I am highly obliged to the sages and also commentators who have translated the works of these sages into English and Hindi. Otherwise it was not possible for me to learn the subject and to author this book. The book is humbly dedicated to the readers and to Astrology — a divine science.

I wish to thank Shri M.G. Kastwar, Jyotish Visharada, Retd. Senior Officer, Balco, for his sincere and intelligent help in proofreading of the book. He is genuinly interested in contributing some research in astrology.

I am also grateful to Ms. Neeru Aggarwal for typing and composing the book in a period of 4 days and also Shri Varun Gin, who helped his mother in evenings after coming from University. I cannot forget Shri Kuber Gin for his expertise in giving the final shape to the composed book.

I am indebted to my wife Smt. Sarojini Devi Kedar who has always been a source of inspiration to me for doing service to astrology. This time also, inspite of her old ãge problems she gave me valuable hints, as she was always sitting with me while I was writing this book. My son Dr. Ashutosh Kedar, my beloved daughter-in-law Dr. Sujata Kedar, looked after me and provided all comforts and facilities at Bangâlore, without which I could never serve the astological society by writing my decade old experiences.

Mundane astrology is a very vast subject. To discuss it in one volume is difficult. Earthquakes, Astro meteorology, Rise and fall in prices of grain, gold, silver, and other essential commodities and their availablity for people, effects of transit of planets in various signs of zodiac specially which have their major roles in controlling the rains, market price, political affairs, natural calamities etc. are various branches of this subject. Each topic is a full-fledged subject in itself. I have tried to cover as much as possible briefly in the discussions made in relevant chapter. The parameters, experienced by me have been narrated in two forms. Firstly these have been listed at one place and secondly some are scattered in the chapter for readers to locate and make use of them. My nature is not to hide any thing from the readers and the students, simultaneously I do not wish to serve it as ‘fast food’, I wish them to concentrate. I hope the readers may be able to make use of the same in their practice of astrology.

I tried to extract some information from Panchangkartas, but they were not inclined to oblige me. Some information I could not give in this edition, which I will, if God blesses me, give in the second volume. I am sure that the information given in this book is sufficient to predict about the Rainy season, Earthquakes, Natural climates Political turmoil’s. Accidents. Riots. Floods etc. together With the rise and fall of the prices. In my experience it is very difficult in the present time of tensions to memories the effect of entry of the nine planets on thirty it this and seven days and also simultaneously the effect of twenty seven constellations. The entry of a planet in a sign. On certain it the, in a particular constellation and on a particular day of the week has its effect on the season, market and on the happiness of the masses. (Such combinations have been furnished in this book). The easiest way for students is to learn the places and commodities represented by the signs and planets. The affliction of them will create some- trouble and rise in prices or short or excess rainfall. If there is effect of benefic planet, there will be normal rains, market will be stable or cheap, public will be happy, rulers will do their duties properly and sympathetically. The twelve houses of the Zodiac represent various things at the national and international level as described in this book. The affliction of any behave will show disturbances in respect of the activities and functions of that behave.

The Tools of Mundane predictions have been discussed and their uses have been explained with many illustrations. The readers will find that the principles laid down by the sages never fail. I use to tell my students on the first day of mundane lecture that the watch of zodiac means the movement of the planets in the twenty seven constellations and their direct, retrograde, slow and fast motions, combustion, setting and rising, conjunction and opposition etc., never stops and give their effects. Remember ‘Whenever any Planet changes it’s position (jab koi Grah Karvat leta hai), something good or bad is sure to happen”. It may be about the rains, change in temperature, natural happenings good or bad, political changes etc. anything.
