ABOUT THE BOOK

Sri Sarwarthachintamani is one of the most important and exhaustive classical treatises on predictive astrology. This two-volume set is a comprehensive commentary and translation of the original Sanskrit work by Venkatesa Sarma. It is considered an "encyclopedia" of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) because of its sheer depth and the variety of life situations it covers.

The book is structured to guide the reader through every house (Bhava) of the horoscope, offering detailed results for:

• Longevity and Health: Calculating the lifespan and predicting potential physical ailments.
• Wealth and Career: Specific planetary combinations (Yogas) for financial success, poverty, or professional status.
• Relationships: Detailed analysis of marriage, children, and familial bonds.
• Spiritual Growth: Identifying the potential for renunciation (Sannyasa) and higher consciousness.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bangalore Suryanarain Rao (1856–1937) was a towering figure in the revival of Vedic sciences in modern India. He was the grandfather of the legendary B.V. Raman and the founder of The Astrological Magazine.

A scholar of immense stature, Rao was proficient in multiple languages and possessed a deep understanding of history, philosophy, and astronomy. He was instrumental in translating ancient Sanskrit astrological texts into English, making this "hidden knowledge" accessible to the English-speaking world during the British Raj. His work is characterized by academic integrity and a mission to prove that astrology is a profound "science of tendencies" rather than mere superstition.
