Our Guruji Shri K.N. Rao asked me to write on divisional charts.

This was about one year ago. This book is a result of his direction. I am grateful to him for considering me worthy enough for this task.

Divisional charts are the pride of Hindu astrology. They reflect the depth of knowledge our ancients had. Each divisional chart is a magnified view of a specific area of human life. Our seers have advised us to read each divisional chart in-depth to understand the horoscope holistically.

This study of divisional charts is presented in twenty three chapters. These chapters deal with the sixteen divisions or shodashvargas of parashar. The four non parashar divisional charts are also explained along with higher divisional charts. An interesting chapter of inter linking of divisional charts is also included. The linking of different divisional charts of one individual and of different individuals are given in a simple yet effective way. This linking is useful to provide a complete picture of the horoscope.

I am grateful to the faculty of Institute of Astrology, Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, who taught me Hindu Astrology. I am grateful to the almighty God for directing me towards Astrology.

My special thanks to Sh. Narender Sagar for giving shape to the book from my hand written notes.

I will feel satisfied if readers are benefitted from this work.
