The Navagraha Canon

Fourteen volumes on Jyotish, from the machinery of the sky to the unified chart.

The premise

The method first: the nakshatras, Parashara, the divisional charts, the dashas, Jaimini, the leaves and the question of the moment. Then the history: Alexandria, Baghdad and Toledo, the Eastern skies, and the modern schools. The last volume brings it into one chart.

Students and practitioners of Jyotish who want the whole system in one place.

The collection

Each one stands alone

No reading order. Take the one whose problem is yours this week.

The author

Dr. Gnana Prakash Neel

A physician by training and a writer by compulsion, working at the seam between clinical neuroscience and the Indian contemplative traditions, two systems that have been describing the same interior events in different vocabularies for a very long time. The non-fiction decomposes; the fiction escalates. Both are, underneath, the same habit of looking for the system that would make everything else make sense.
