Introduction

Komilla Sutton is a vedic astrologer with a successful practice numbering hundreds of clients. She also runs courses for all levels of students, and it is through her contact with the students that she has come to understand the difficulties faced when we move from one culture to another in astrology. This book demystifies many of the fundamental concepts of vedic astrology and brings areas like the the Nakshatras, the Gunas and the Karmic issues we face into the realm of the beginner for the first time. It is written especially with new students in mind, with clear explanations at every stage: Komilla also shows how the science of Jyotish brings much deeper meaning to our charts, and hence our lives here on earth."

The Essentials of Vedic Astrology is far more than just another astrology book - as well as introducing westerners to the rich spirituality of this Indian tradition, it will also be of interest to those studying the philosophy of the Vedas, Ayurveda and Yoga.

Editorial Reviews

I recommend this book wholeheartedly to all Western astrologers with an interest in Vedic astrology and to all those interested in exploring the spiritual dimension in their lives.
