Laghu Parashari

Product Description

The Laghu Parashari is a Sanskrit classic of Jyotisha comprised of only 42 verses. Its authorship is unknown, as is the date when it was written. The text condenses into a very limited number of verses some of the most important interpretive principles of the Parashari predictive system. In particular, two sections of this treatise are very condensed versions of chapters in Parashara Hora having to do with yogakarakas and marakas. Thus, it primarily deals with the timing of very fortunate periods in a person's life when their status could increase, or very inauspicious times when there could be great suffering or even death if the lifespan has expired. The author of the Laghu Parashari extracts, as it were, some of the essence of Parashara Hora, and puts it in a concentrated form that is conducive to memorization. In this new commentary and translation, master jyotishi, Marc Boney explains and illustrates this important text in a detailed way never done before.
