He was born in a good, religious, middle class educated family. His upbringing of early childhood was developed in the mixed community of his neighborhood in the industrial township of Tata Steel, Jamshedpur.

The author's father was very close to him and treated him like a friend rather than a child from early childhood. His immense desire to help mankind by giving appropriate solutions, suggestions, gained maturity as he joined l the accounts department of Tata Steel, Jamshedpur, giving counseling and suggestions to the superannuated employees, as well those who were in need of urgent money from PF a/c.

In today's mundane world, every next person is in a state of dire stress, tension, anxiety and distress. He is running from pillar to post, seeking an amicable & pragmatic solution for all these, where upon, time and again, he is in a bigger trap of quakes and prevailing situations instead turn to be graver.

The concept of Astrology and Astronomy is ancient and age old. It provides unfathomed knowledge based information, a VIBGYOR of related subjects, which cannot be kept confined in closed domain, and is applicable in getting a viable solution for plethora of problems, to which mankind is facing now a days. As such, the entire philosophy of Astrology and Astronomy, has potential enough to play a vital role in diversified use of Human Resource Management, Total Quality Management, and Medical Science and a host of alike events controlling each and every moment of a person from its first breathe to the last one, i.e. a complete life cycle.

The author of this book, Mr. Vijay Kumar Lal is well known and at the same time well acquainted with me for last 40 years, has taken a giant step in compiling this book, entitled as "ASTROLOGY: IN NEW PERSPECTIVE". Way back in the year 2001, Mr. Lal, as a Chairperson of the concluding session of 8th International Astrologers' Conference, held in Jamshedpur (in Bihar, now Jharkhand), got a GOD blessed opportunity, to share his views with many intellectual persons, present in the Conference. He conceived and conceptualized the noble idea to pen the book. It would not be out of place to add on record that, more than 56,000 persons have consulted Mr. Lal, on Personality Development, Life Style Management and Career Management, and were almost & utmost satisfied with discussions and counselling held and remedial measures being advised by him, in context of their problems of varying wave length.

It is my considered and well thought opinion, that this book being authored by Mr. Vijay Kumar Lal is a treatise on the vast topics, is in your hands right now, and has amalgamated Astrology and Astronomy for a cross section of each walk of life. This innovative idea has bridged successfully, a long felt gap between the two ends. This book may also be treated as a reference book for students of management.

I decided to make an attempt to write a typical book on Astrology, relates to Personality Development when I was concluding the session, with my lecture being the Chairperson of the 8th International Astrologers' Conference held in the year 2001, conducted by the Centre of Astrology and Research for Public Welfare, Jamshedpur, India, where the eminent world's Astrologers were present, although there were considerable number of books present in those days in Astrology. The above subject was conceived in the course of my above lecture, I framed out and programmed to write a book because my strong belief is that, since every person is unique and incomparable in totality, as such a well — balanced, unique personality can lead a harmonious and progressive life, thereby he/she is able to contribute in building his family, in turn community and finally a prosperous Nation, under my long awaited project of writing a book — "Buddha Smile".

In Indian civilization, Man is called Dwija. The meaning of Dwija is "twice-born". The first birth of a person is by his mother and father and their role is to develop his physical body along with the outer lines of his personality with the support of environmental conditions of the childhood. The second birth of a person is by his Guru (Teacher), who understands completely the inherent nature, behaviour, character and properties of his personality. He purifies and polishes the positive properties of the person by ruling out demerits and builds up a complete well balanced personality. This theory was in practice in all the glorious civilizations of the ancient world.

This book, promises to provide a strong foundation, for the beginners as well as new insights even for students of Astrology, MBA (Human Resource Management), Total Quality Management and Medical Sciences. The foundation of writing of this Book, is based on my personal enriched 45 years practical experiences with Scientific Validation on the principal of Astrology, Astronomy, Personality Development and Medical Sciences on their application, on my in-depth studies of 56,000 (Fifty Six Thousand) Individual Personalities and on the basis of the outcome of the results of their life events and also in connection with their future happenings, that brings out this book rare to a Text Book.

The book has been organized in 12 chapters, including sections and sub sections therein and to begin with, the Solar System has been very explicitly discussed in chapter-1, owing to its complexity, as such related to the age of the Solar System is about 4.5 billion years. It compromise of one Sun and 6 (six) largest celestial bodies, namely Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Satellite of Earth — the Moon and these celestial bodies orbits the Sun.

Chapter 1 also includes Physical and Astral aspects of the human body. The Human Body comprised of different cells collectively resulting into tissues and subsequently in Human organs and system, being physical aspects of the body. Another section of this chapter discusses the Astral body, which is also regarded by many ancient civilizations, scientists and philosophers as visible in the form of AURA.

The 2"d chapter on Astrology and Astronomy is the core (heart) of this book, especially Origin of Astrology and Astronomy is exceptionally a new topic added, that gives detailed knowledge of the foundation of how these precious subjects, come from the beginning of civilizations of the world till date for the readers. Here both of these have been treated empathetically, together. This terminology has got evolved from "Astrologia" a Latin word. Astrology involves the apparent position of celestial objects enough to predict the forth-coming events affecting a subject, whereas Astronomy is the study of objects and phenomenon whose origin is beyond the atmosphere of the Earth. Furthermore, according to Astrology, the celestial bodies exert Specific Cosmic Energies influencing people (subject and events). These influences may be determined by mapping their position in the sky at various times. Particularly, Astronomy has been covered for its various origins around the different parts of the world from ancient times.

Cosmic Energy has been discussed in chapter 3. The Main focal point here is to teach, educate the readers about how to harness the invisible power, which is surrounding one to perfectly transform their entire life. Undoubtedly, it is a complicated idea, but successful attempts have been taken here to make this topic more user-friendly to the readers, with respect to concept and techniques about the cosmic energy.

Zodiac Sign and its impact on the human body has been explained in detail in chapter 4, 5 and 6 of this book in its middle spot, that provides very valuable in depth knowledge to readers to judge themselves. The meaning of Twelve Zodiac Signs gives us treatise of Inner Inbuilt Properties and information about day-to-day living as well as many talents and special qualities, a human possesses in their Inbuilt Natural Program of the Life. By study of Zodiac Sign, one can discover a great deal of relevant knowledge about the hidden secrets of their personalities with positive and negative aspects a person possesses their future course of personality development.

Chapter 7 is basically the essence of preceding chapters more or less covering the similar topics in depth, with a new concept of Biological Clock and its impacts on Mind-Body Relationship. The personality of an individual consists of inbuilt program for the life, inherent properties of parents and cosmic impacts on the body at the time of birth that forms a "Biological Clock" inside the body. The balanced Biological Clock is responsible for the balanced condition of the Mind-Body Relationship and that leads to a harmonious, balanced and progressive life. This concept has been added in this book for a new dimensional growth in the field of Personality Development and Career Management.

In fact, I have added last few chapters, i.e., 8, 9, 10 and 11, particularly giving emphasis on Management Aspects, relates to Personality Development, Time and Stress Management and Relaxation Techniques and Stem Cell Management. The 12th chapter, which is on Management on Rays Therapy, is added on the basis of the ancient technology of alternative medicine, whose genesis is mainly attributed to Astrology and Astronomy. These chapters add a new dimension to the book.

I have tried with my best effort and knowledge here, to amalgamate crux of this book with Management Studies of concerned matter related to the human life. This will create a crave in readers about this amalgamation.

I am sure, that this book may prove as one of the best potential Self-Help Guide, even written in detailed manner for all age groups of the society. I expect the concrete opinion from the vivid readers that by reading this book, will improve their lives by applying scientific approach and concepts elaborately discussed.

At last, I will appreciate the readers to point out any inadvertent mistake committed in writing this book. "My last salutations are to them who knew me imperfect and loved me."
