ABOUT THE BOOK

Hora Sara is a classic of Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), written by Prithuyashas, the illustrious son of the legendary astronomer-astrologer Varahamihira. This specific edition is translated and expanded with exhaustive notes by R. Santhanam, a scholar renowned for making complex classical texts accessible to modern practitioners.

As the title suggests (Sara meaning "essence"), the book is a condensed yet profound compilation of the most vital predictive principles of the Hora Shastra. It is particularly famous for its unique "Lost Horoscopy" (Nashta Jataka) section and its detailed rules for determining longevity and the timing of death, which are often not found in other primary texts like the Brihat Parashara.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

R. Santhanam was one of India's most respected Vedic astrologers and translators of the 20th century. He was the editor of the "Times of Astrology" magazine and is celebrated for his precise English renderings of Sanskrit classics. His commentaries are prized because they don't just translate the words; they interpret the "hidden" meanings based on years of practical chart analysis, often correcting errors found in older translations.
