Ancient Hindu Astrology For The Modern Western Astrologer Revised And Expanded 2020 Edition. A comprehensive introductory book on how to learn and practice Hindu/Vedic astrology. It is both an easy to understand manual on the subject as well as a reference text that includes 180 pages of planets in house descriptions. There is also a 125 page section describing the horoscopes of 14 famous individuals in detail. The original version of this book was written in 1985, and this revised and expanded book is about 200 pages longer than the original. It has been updated to include more practical information that took the author 20 years of practice to learn. It was originally written for Westerners, but was so well received that many Indians and Easterners use it as a reference text. The original book (1985) was hailed as a masterpiece by astrologer/author Robert Hand. The revised edition has been throughly improved and updated, and is much more accurate than the original.

I just got the book a week ago and I am so glad I bought it. Braha has revised the original in many subtle (and not so subtle) ways, and has again given us a major contribution to the study. In this day of spinoffs, it is nice to see timeless traditions being supported and the writing seems to come from a sacred place. Any student of astrology needs to have this book! You won't be disappointed.

Not For Beginners or New-Age Astrologers (In My Opinion)

Reviewed in the United States on 5 July 2021

Verified Purchase

There are some important and relevant chapters to this work, but overall this is very much a traditional approach to the science of the stars, which is what some are looking for but many new-agers will not relate to. While I cannot speak on the success of the methods this book suggests, the author is very confident in his adjustments made from his previous edition. Ironically, it is inevitable that many of these techniques he teaches in this edition will also be filtered through trial and error and yet he maintains his certainty in many places throughout the work. With statements such as "This is absurd," in regard to techniques that have been employed by other Astrologers I am turned away from this author's choice of language and perception of his abilities in comparison to that of other Astrologers. Another red flag I noted was the importance placed on the days of the week and their planetary associations in the use of chanting Mantras. The days of the week may be historically named after the planets, but as far as I know there is nothing else connecting the two as calendars have changed over time. Making this association seems trivial and not related to astronomy as far as I have learned. Belief is more powerful than anything, and this is a good thing to remember when studying Astrology in general-- especially when books like this one choose to organize the practice in language that limits the mind more than it expands it. Maybe this approach works linguistically for some, but my intuition says it's not for me. The quote from the Bible was the last straw before I was pushed to write this review. Hope this helps anyone who would be put off by the same things I was.

I normally am not one to write reviews , I stumbled upon Vedic Astrology in 2017, ordered lots of books , watched a lot of YouTube , listened to podcasts , BUT THEN I stumbled upon an interview with BRAHA , and haven’t looked back ! His style of making what seems like such a complicated subject EASY To understand , I’m all about WHAT WORKS , and his book has given me confidence now With knowing how to read charts and observe , and it’s straight up on point ! Thank you James for being my mentor and teacher in a subject I have realized Is the Love of my Life , and you made It easy , a humble how in gratitude for this man.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In 1986 James Braha altered the world of astrology when he wrote the first easily understandable and accessible book on Hindu/Vedic astrology, Ancient Hindu Astrology for the Modern Western Astrologer. It is widely recognized as a modern classic and Robert Hand, the world’s foremost Western astrologer, called it a masterpiece. James is known for his ability to explain complicated astrological and spiritual concepts in the simplest, most digestible manner.

Ancient Hindu Astrology was followed by four more astrology books:

James Braha studied Hindu/Vedic astrology with two highly respected teachers in India; R. Santhanam of Delhi, scholar and translator of numerous ancient Jyotish texts, and P.M. Padia in Bombay. James maintains an international practice from his home in Longboat key, Florida and has given classes and workshops all over the globe. He is the recipient of many awards, including the Jyotish Kovid and B.V. Raman Jyotisha Choodamani. James has done podcast interviews and teaching sessions with Anuradha Sharda,

Kapiel Raaj, Saptarishi Astrology Magazine, Bhabajeet Kalita, Robert Kosmar and others, which can be seen on YouTube.

James’ 2006 book Living Reality; My Extraordinary Summer with Sailor Bob Adamson is a detailed account of hosting the Australian Advaitan master in his home. Seekers came from all over the U.S. to hear Bob’s talks during his five-week stay. Living Reality received rave reviews and has been called “A modern classic representation in the field of non-duality.”
