The orbiting planets:
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu – these nine planets always orbit in the sky. Like Satyagraha (the struggle for truth) is known as power of truth – these nine planets are considered as Sakthi (the power). All the tatvas (the elements) of world have been divided into nine parts and have further been associated to these nine planets i.e. each tatva (element) has relation to one or the other planet like copper with Sun, silver with moon, earthen with Venus, gold with Jupiter etc. etc. Like this every tatva (element) has power of anyone of these planets. Like magnet attracts iron towards it, similarly each planet has special relation with one or the other tatva (element) of this earth and these nine planets keep on glancing, shadowing, raying the tatvas (elements) on this earth. Heat of Sun’s rays makes the water dry on earth, heat up sand and make lotus blossom up till the sun sets. The sunflower keeps its face towards Sun only and turns to the direction of the sun. Same way the rays of moon make the water and sand cool. Thus all the nine planets affect the tatvas (elements) present at the earth and they put their ansh (part) on these tatvas (elements). Because all these nine planets keep on always orbiting therefore their distance, degree-angle and zodiac also keep on changing. That is why their effect on tatvas (elements) on earth also keep on changing e.g. in the noon sun’s heat is more when it throws straight rays on the earth. When a child comes out of the tummy of mother then on his or her body shadows of orbiting planets ( like sun and moon etc. ) fall and within a second the position of orbiting planets is recorded in child’s body. It is like a camera film taking impression of the image that is in front of the lens in less than half a second.
How much shakti (power) or quantity of a particular planet has gone into the body of the child shall depend on the distance of that planet in the sky from the body of the child or in which zodiac or degree or angle was the planet at the time of the birth. This way the power of each planet enters into the body of the child and establishes its effect. According to the position of planets in the sky at that time the power of each planet gets into the body of the child in varying quantity. We call it distribution of planets in the body of the child - fate or fortune. Therefore, to determine the quantity of power of each planet in child’s body the position of orbiting planets in the sky is noted down which is called lagan kundli ( horoscope ).
Every person has got different fortune i.e. the position of orbiting planets in the sky is called janam lagan or kundli (horoscope). Due to varying quantity of a tatva (element) in different bodies, the karma of bodies become different too and henceforth their fortune becomes different. The planets keep on orbiting in the sky all the time and therefore their reflection on the human body also keep on changing due to which the tatvas (elements) of human body also change. The ratio of planets power and quantity in human body also keep on changing which is known as ‘graha chaal’ (the movement of planets). This way the fortune of a person keeps on changing, no matter even if he does not perform any karma. Any person who is performing same karma from the very beginning may be doing the same karma today also but still his fortune seems to have changed. His condition may not be the same as it was before. He was prosperous earlier but now he is miserable, though he has not changed any of his karma or did not do any thing wrong which should have been a reason for his downfall. He is baffled as to why this has happened. But it was to happen naturally. A person has to keep on changing his karma so that the tatvas (elements) of his body are in harmony with the orbiting planets. These orbiting planets in the sky keep on orbiting all the time at different speeds, different degrees and in different zodiac at different points of time and therefore these keep on changing their reflection too on the earth due to which the seasons on the earth changes sometime summer, sometime winter or sometime rain.
Since in human bodies contain tatvas (elements) that are related to these orbiting planets, therefore with the movement of these planets the ratio and effect of these tatvas (elements) also get changed accordingly. In other words the fortune of human beings also keeps on changing. The reflection of planets from the sky with their speed or movement hits with the tatvas (elements) or powers that exist in human bodies and thus adds up or dilutes the power of the body. (This way the human bodies keep changing as per the ratio of power or quantity of these planets). When owing this change there is a bad effect on human body then it is called the bad movement of planets or bad luck or bad patch because due to bad effect of planets all the initiatives of a person go haywire. At this juncture, if ratio or quantity of tatvas (elements) be added up or diluted to be in harmony with the orbiting planets then the bad effect of planets can be reduced. The movement, speed, distance or degree of the planets cannot be changed but to add up or dilute in tatvas (elements) of the body is in the own hands of a man e.g. the doctors do add the deficit tatavas (elements) in the human body through injections or medicines and repair the body as per the ratio of tatvas (elements) that are needed. This way only a person can change his or her fortune by changing the ratio of tatvas (elements) in the body :
Jaisa Khai Ann, Vaisha Hoga Mann
(As shall be the food, same shall be the thoughts)
Jaisa Hoga Mann, Vaisha Hoga Karm
(As shall be the thoughts, same shall be the actions)
Jaisa Hoga Karm, Vaishe Hogee Kismat.
(As shall be the actions, same shall be the fortune)
For example if with a ceiling fan bulbs of different nine colours are tied-up and also if we lay white paper on the top a table & keep a bottle (filled with the glass pebbles of same nine colours, as that of bulbs, in different quantities) at this, when the nine bulbs that are tied-up with the fan shall rotate their reflection shall fall on the bottle, we shall see on the white paper different colours that change in the same speed as that of the fan. Now, if we add or reduce the quantity of pebbles of a particular colour in the bottle the shadow of colours shall also change accordingly.
If we consider bottle as human body and the glass pebbles as different tatvas (elements) the things become simpler that by adding up or reducing any tatva (element) in human body the effect of orbiting planets on human body can also be changed and this way the bad effect of planets can be changed or stopped.
The distance, movement and angle of the orbiting planets in the sky cannot be changed. And, therefore, we have to add or reduce the ratio or quantity of tatvas (elements) in human body only through which a change can be brought in the fortune of a person otherwise the person has to wait till such time when the orbiting planets do take the a position when their shadow or effect shall be favourable to that person. Therefore, conventional astrologers through horoscope do find out that which planet in which house of horoscope is getting bad. In other words which orbiting planet of the sky is producing bad effect and then these astrologers tell that when a particular planet shall move into a particular zodiac on a particular date and then the desired actions shall be successfully fulfilled. They ask the horoscopic person to wait for that day when orbiting planet in the sky shall come to a position when it shall produce positive shadow on that person. But in this case what happens is that when the planet with bad effect moves to a position which is favourable for the person, some other planet moves to a bad position and the horoscopic person’s troubles never ends.
The position of the orbiting planets in the sky is always made known through astrological patras (sheets) of dainik kundlis (daily horoscope). Planets change zodiac, which means that planets in the sky keep on changing their position. If the orbiting planets in the sky take a position that is favourable to a person or the person himself changes the tatvas (elements) of his or her body according to position of planets – it would amount to one and the same thing i.e. the troubles of the person shall vanish. One has to wait till the favourable position of planets and no one knows when such position shall occur. Therefore, to get rid of troubles soonest, it is better to change the tatvas (elements) of the body. Then planets in the horoscope shall start producing favourable effect, as would have been the situation, as is believed, when these would have arrived in favourable right position in the sky.
Because Rahu in eleventh house is harmful for father and if the person offers things like Coconut, Barley etc., which have relation to Rahu planet, in the flowing water then Rahu shall be treated in the flowing water house i.e. fourth house instead of eleventh house and shall become dormant and shall not produce bad effects.
Similarly by changing the position of every planet in the horoscope the ratio of tatvas (elements) in person’s body shall either reduce or add up.
By flowing – burring or by giving away to someone the things that have relation with a planet, the tatva (element) relating to that particular planet in the body shall also get reduced. By putting on body any thing that relates to a planet shall add tatva (element) relating to that particular planet in person’s body.
Therefore, donating, flowing or burring and putting on the body the things that relate to planets are said to be the method to avoid bad effects of bad planets. So to change the position of horoscope planets the houses of planets or zodiac of planets need to be changed. For doing so the horoscopic person has to flow – burry or donates or put on his or her body the things which are related to those planets so that shadow of those planets of sky shall fall favourably on horoscopic person.
The persons who wait for the time when orbiting planets shall come into a favourable position are like a hunter who fixes up the angle of his rifle and waits when a bird shall come in line with the fixed angle in front of his rifle so that he can shoot. A sane hunter shall not wait the bird to come in front of the barrel of his rifle but would turn it towards the bird and shoot the target. He would save himself the agony of suffering for a long time.
Now it would be essential to see the following indicators in a horoscope:
Which planet of horoscope is bad i.e. which orbiting planet in the sky is not throwing its favourable sight on the person?
In which house the above planet can produce favourable effect on the person?
How that planet can be brought in desirable house i.e. through which method the person should change the tatvas (elements) in his or her body so that the effect of the planet is favourable and the planet is active not in the inauspicious house but in the auspicious house.
For gaining the knowledge about aforesaid things it is essential to know about living and non- things that have relation to each house and various kinds of sorrows and pleasures that have relation to each house of horoscope.
DRISHTI (SIGHT):
Ek sey chhai tuk dekhta har ghar satva dwar
(From first to sixth house every house looks at seventh house).
Ult athwa dekhta, dusrey ghar ko par
(The eighth house looks backward over the second house)
Teen sey rishta hei bana no do giahrain key beech
(Third house has developed relation between ninth & eleventh house)
Do key dwar mil sakey aath or barah neech
(Eighth and twelfth meet at the door of second house)
Noh aur giahrain ney mila diye, teen or panch
(Ninth and eleventh make third and fifth house meet together)
Takkar mare aathwey, kardey sanch ko anch
(When eight house hits it hits badly)
Aath sey do do ghatai, chhai sey barah jayan
(Deduct two-two from eighth, go to twelfth from six)
Satru aath or baharwain, aaps mey takrain
(Eighth and twelfth are enemies, they conflict with each other)
Guru nove or pachvey, mangal char aur aath
(Ninth and Fifth are Zupiter, Fourth and Eight are Mars)
Shani deshwey aur tisrey rakhey santh aur ganth
(Saturn is tenth and third house, it manuplates)
Shani aur Budh dekhtey hai peechey ki or
(Saturn and Mercury look backwards)
Nasht karey ush graha ko, rakhey jishsey khar.
(They destroy that planet with which these are in animosity)
As per astrology earth has been divided into deemed twelve parts and it defines the relationship of planets to these deemed parts. Every part either looks at some other part or vice versai.e. planet placed in any of the house of horoscope looks at another planet placed in some other house or is looked at by those planets. This is known as Drishti (sight) that can be full, half or quarter and is called friendly or conflicting.
FULL SIGHT:
Full sight means full effect. There are total twelve houses or quadrants in a horoscope. First six are related with the balance six houses by means of sight. Out these the first house looks at with full sight at seventh house i.e. the first house planets affect the planets of seventh house. Similarly, third looks at ninth house, fourth at tenth, fifth at eleventh, sixth at twelfth. It also proves that first looks at seventh but seventh does not look at first, third looks at ninth but ninth does not look at third. Fourth looks at tenth but tenth does not look at fourth. Fifth looks at eleventh but eleventh does not look at fifth because the bacon of a torch travels forward and not backward. Sight of any of these houses carries the effect of its planets along very similar to light of a cinema projector that carries the images along to cinema screen. The sight without planet of a house traveling to another planet shall be like a light of a cinema projector which does not have any images or pictures encompassed into it..
HALF AND QUARTER SIGHT:
Third house planet looks at eleventh house with half sight but eleventh house do not look at the third house. Fifth house planet looks at ninth house planet with half sight but ninth house planet does not look at fifth house planet i.e. third and fifth house planets shall affect eleventh and ninth house planets respectively with half of their power. But eleventh and ninth house planets shall not affect third and fifth house planets respectively.
CONFLICT:
Any house of Horoscope shall conflict with the eight house from its house and shall cause harm to planet of that house. Whether planet in that house is a friendly planet or it is enemy shall make no difference. Like first house shall hit at eighth house and tenth house shall hit at fifth house. This way all the twelve houses of a horoscope shall hit the planets established at the consecutive eighth house counted from their own house.
ANIMOSITY:
A planet in a house shall have animosity with the planet falling in the consecutive tenth house from its own house and vice versa. They will produce negative effects on things and relatives of each other’s house.
SIGHT OF JUPITER, MARS, AND SATRUN:
In whatever house Jupiter is located; it shall look at the fifth and ninth in addition to seventh from its own location house.
In whatever house Mars is located; it shall look at fourth and eighth in addition to seventh from its own location house.
In whatever house Saturn is located; it shall look at fifth and ninth in addition to seventh from its own location house.
Snake is symbolic of Saturn. When it crawls it looks ahead. But when it raises its hood it looks backward instead of forward. It lifts its hood only when it gets a feeling of an enemy near to it. Therefore, as per astrology also, when Saturn looks with the intention and sight of animosity then with the backward looking it can harm the planet that is located behind it – from sixth to planets in other houses.

Lal Kitaab Part II
ASTROLOGY vis-à-vis EXPERIENCE:
Our ancestors, after a great ordeal, discovered about the rotating planets of the universe e.g. Sun, Moon etc. They also found out about their colours, effect on our lives and distance from our earth planet. The findings were printed in our astrological reference documents called Zantris and Pattras. These documents contain the information like: at what time on a particular day sun shall set and moon shall rise, at what time in future on a particular date Sun or moon eclipse shall happen, when on a particular date and time a particular planet shall be dormant or shall be active and more so at what particular day and time which planets shall come closer and ‘meet’ etc. etc. According to the orbit position of a planet its impact on our lives was recorded and this information acted as a base to calculate that when a particular planet shall be at a particular orbit position how shall it effect - good or bad. And when the said orbit position of the planet took place and it did cause the anticipated effects it was given the name of prediction. Therefore, the prediction is based on the previous experience. Through the same process when the orbit positioning of each planet at a particular given time was defined and also their effects on the lives of living masses on the earth planet were predicted – it was called Astrology. In other words, astrology is nothing but prediction about future that is based on the past experience about effects caused by orbiting planets at different point of times at various orbiting positions in the lives of living masses. The experience of the past became the basis of astrological prediction for future – whether it is going to be good or bad.
Fortune Vs. Karma:
Everyone says whatever God has written in our destiny shall happen anyway. If everything has to happen as per our fortune then what is the need for doing any karma or job? Let the things happen at their own – if someone falls sick, if his or her fortune permits him or her to recover it shall happen automatically. What is then the need to treat that person with medicines etc? If someone has been destined to be wealthy – he will be so some day. So where then is the need to toil hard the whole day and night?
However, the things do not go like this. It is imperative to have both fortune and karma. Without fortune one cannot perform any karma and without karma there is no fortune. If a poor person is lucky enough to win a lottery of one lakh of rupees, people shall say it was in his or her fortune. Just because he or she has got this hefty amount does not mean that no further hard work shall be required. We have to agree that still that person needs to do hard work and karma. Karma or efforts shall be needed to collect the money as well as to keep it in house or else to get it deposited into a bank. Further karma or efforts would also be needed to spend that money. Isn’t it? Let us take an example. If someone is lucky to get a gift of television, the fellow at least needs to plug it on to electricity to turn it on. The point being made is that one cannot benefit from anything that has been so kindly granted by fortune unless the person performs karma. Therefore, to sum up - happiness can only be attained with the mix of both fortune and karma.
It is a cycle – a cycle of fortune and karma. Without karma fortune cannot be built up and without fortune no karma can be initiated. The act of performing Karma needs one’s intellect and that also is bestowed by fortune only. If fortune is good, intellect shall also work properly. Therefore, it is said ‘During a bad patch the intellect also takes a back turn’ (Vinas Kale Vipreet Budhi). If some loss or any damage has to happen to a person, his or her intellect first gives a ditch. At the same time if someone is to be bestowed with some gain or happiness, his or her intellect starts thinking in a right direction motivating the person to act wisely. At the same time the hard fact remains that no one wishes the intellect to take a U turn but it just happens. Ironically no one accepts the fact that his or her intellect is not functioning okay. And when the person takes a cognizance of this fact, he or she becomes restless and anxious to find out as to what should be done now to take care of the situation. At this juncture, if that person gets hold of such a person who can help and guide him to put back his or her intellect on right track then the affected person can get relief from problems and sufferings. Still the fact remains that getting hooked to such a ‘guide’ shall only be possible if luck prevails.
Through foregoing discussion, we arrive to same conclusion i.e. fortune is nothing but karma only and karma in turn build the basis of our fortune. No body yet has resolved whether chicken came first or the egg. Which one of the two is important – chicken or the egg.? The answer is obvious, both are important. Similarly, both fortune and karma are important – without fortune karma cannot be initiated and without karma there shall be no building up of fortune.
Changing fortune through Karma:
Fortune is the outcome of our mixed karma – karma of this birth and that of previous birth. If due to previous birth karma one is destined to undergo lot of sufferings, he or she can reduce this suffering substantially through karma of this birth or alternatively can enhance his or her endurance power in current birth so that the impact of undergoing such sufferings is minimized or almost neutralized. However, the impact of our previous birth karma shall dominate. Let us take an example. Supposing in a factory four machines have been manufactured of various horse powers viz. ten, twenty, thirty and forty H.P. Alongwith the machines, the manufacturer has sent a full narration sheet as to how the machines should be run and for how many days the machines are guaranteed. If the operator of the machine is skilled one, he can keep those machines in a good condition for a longer period and take full advantage out of these. Contrary to it, if the operator is unskilled one and not wise enough he will spoil the machines within no time. Similarly, a person through his or her own karma can spoil the good effect of his or her birth horoscope planets or can turn bad effects of planets into good one. It is the choice of the person.
To repeat, the effects of previous birth karma shall pervade dominantly. A skillful worker can repair a machine and enhance its performance and efficiency but can no way increase its H.P. If this could be done, astrologers could have corrected the graha-dosh ( bad impact of planets) themselves and would have added wealth for themselves and for their relatives. Let us take a bucket of muddy unclean water. If we keep on taking out a jar of water from this bucket continuously and also keep on adding jars of fresh water into the bucket, surely a time will arrive when there would be only pure and clear water in the bucket instead of muddy unclean water. Same way if we keep on changing the parts of a machine one by one as an on-going process, at a point of time the H.P. of the machine shall also change. Today, if a child is born in a millionaire family, he becomes millionaire from the day one without doing any karma. On the other hand, a child who is born in the family of have-nots, he or she is born in the sorrowful poor family because of previous birth karma. The child who was born in the rich family did not do any karma but still enjoyed the luxury of ancestors’ property and money. But when the money and property all exhausted, he becomes so helpless that he can not venture to start a business or even any other work and was is left with no means at all. The child who was born in a poor family did face lot of difficulties and obstacles but with a dedication he kept on doing the hard work. Alongwith his duty he kept on adding to his skills. His fortune kept on changing. Like he had to undergo the effects of previous birth karma in this birth, he shall have to undergo the effect of this birth karma in his next birth. This is what the horoscope explains to us. In other words, what deeds or karma the child has done in his or her previous birth and whatever sufferings or pleasures are destined for him or her in this birth are elaborated through birth horoscope. The nature provides indications about the person about the previous birth karma based on the orbit position of planets at the time of his or her birth i.e. the time when a child is born the birth horoscope shall reveal about the previous birth karma. It is a game of nature that orbiting planets record the karma of a persons.
Previous births’ karma and horoscope:
A man takes birth and re-births. He performs some karma in each and every birth. Nature does record his karma into an account. He has to bear the fruits of all these karmas. If he cannot undergo results of all the karmas in a particular birth, which is phenomena, the remaining resultant karmas are carried forward to his next birth or births account by nature. And this process continues. The person who bears the effect of these karmas cannot know which life’s karma he is bearing. This process resembles the example that curd converts the milk into curd and this curd further coverts the milk into curd and the process goes on endlessly. In Muslim countries there is a tradition to prepare dough chapatti. After preparing chapattis, some part of dough is preserved for next day for converting flour into dough. So in certain homes one can find dough which is virtually hundred years old, but one cannot make out how much quantity of dough of a particular date is mixed up in the kneeled flour. Similarly, it cannot be made out how much quantity of karma of each birth one has to undergo in this birth. People say that horoscope is prepared after the birth of a child, while the fact is otherwise. The nature has made the horoscope according to the previous karma and accordingly decided the time of birth of the child. This way horoscope gives narration of karma of previous births i.e. the always orbiting planets keep on recording the karmas of a man and thus the horoscope’s planets position does speak about the person’s previous births karma. The orbiting planets watched every activity of the person and they are watching these now too. The planets note down the life story of a person and by taking the position in the horoscope they narrate the story in the next birth. But to understand this the knowledge about the planets is a must.
Our ancestors, after a great ordeal, discovered about the rotating planets of the universe e.g. Sun, Moon etc. They also found out about their colours, effect on our lives and distance from our earth planet. The findings were printed in our astrological reference documents called Zantris and Pattras.

Previous births’ karma and horoscope:
A man takes birth and re-births. He performs some karma in each and every birth. Nature does record his karma into an account. He has to bear the fruits of all these karmas. If he cannot undergo results of all the karmas in a particular birth, which is phenomena, the remaining resultant karmas are carried forward to his next birth or births account by nature. And this process continues. The person who bears the effect of these karmas cannot know which life’s karma he is bearing. This process resembles the example that curd converts the milk into curd and this curd further coverts the milk into curd and the process goes on endlessly. In Muslim countries there is a tradition to prepare dough chapatti. After preparing chapattis, some part of dough is preserved for next day for converting flour into dough. So in certain homes one can find dough which is virtually hundred years old, but one cannot make out how much quantity of dough of a particular date is mixed up in the kneeled flour. Similarly, it cannot be made out how much quantity of karma of each birth one has to undergo in this birth. People say that horoscope is prepared after the birth of a child, while the fact is otherwise. The nature has made the horoscope according to the previous karma and accordingly decided the time of birth of the child. This way horoscope gives narration of karma of previous births i.e. the always orbiting planets keep on recording the karmas of a man and thus the horoscope’s planets position does speak about the person’s previous births karma. The orbiting planets watched every activity of the person and they are watching these now too. The planets note down the life story of a person and by taking the position in the horoscope they narrate the story in the next birth. But to understand this the knowledge about the planets is a must.

Lal Kitab Part I
I came across a rare book on Lal Kitaab and would like all of you here to benefit from it. I will also appreciate your views - I am basically a firm believer of BPHS-based vedic astrology...
I will be uploading the book in parts. Here is Part I
PREFACE (SECOND EDITION)
Some people shall say who can change whatever is written in fate. But if we read carefully the incidents that are written in history and shastras then it is proved that even God too was forced to change his own writing. There is need to build a method and to act after thinking and with an understanding i.e. the methods that are done after thinking and with an understanding can change the bad effects of planets. There is no doubt about it.
The person who wait for the time when orbiting planets shall come into a favourable position are like a hunter who fixes up the angle of his rifle and waits when a bird shall come in line with the fixed angle in front of his rifle so that he can shoot. A sane hunter shall not wait the bird to come in front of the barrel of his rifle but would turn it towards the bird and shoot the target. He would save himself the agony of suffering for a long time.
In 1966 due to an accident, the karma and religion, religiousness, faith towards God – all these started appearing like a delusion. Whatever astrologers had told me that also did not come true. During those days the famous person of Kalka Lala Panna Lal came to my house to express his condolences for demise of my son. And during the conversation he said that there was a possibility of being such and such planet in such and such house of the horoscope of departed heavenly soul due to which this child has died at an early age. While I kept on sitting I took out the horoscope of that child and shown it to Shri Panna Lal Jee. At that time Lala Panna Lal Jee also told me one or two more things and after listening to those I started feeling that Red Bood in astrology has some peculiarity.
Prior to that renowned Pratap Singh Jee used to see horoscope in Kalka. My interest in Red Book increased. This book was lying with my friend Lal Prem Chand Jee, a grosser, who had kept this book in a corner thinking it to be useless. I brought this book from him. Since I had read urdu and Persian upto 10th standard there was no difficulty felt to read this. Slowly and slowly I kept on reading this book and whatever horoscope came before me I kept seeing it.
Lala Panna Lal Jee and Giani Pratap Singh Jee both helped me to understand this book in the right perceptive. I am thankful to both of them.
Till today, after studying Red Book in astrology, I feel that Red Book has been written based on the scientific principles of astrology. The writer of this book Pandit Roop Chand Jee was an accountant in Defence Accounts and therefore was a good scholar of English and Urdu. Many times could get opportunity to talk to him for hours and hours about astrology. This also was made possible with the co-operation of Lala Panna Lal Jee. Pt. Roop Chand Jee was a good scholar and especially a man of principles. His astrology book Red Book showed a new way to society with respect to astrology. The simple and ordinary methods were explained to get out of perplexities – a thing that was very well needed by scoeity. As per the old astrology very few and only rich persons can perform paths (the reading of holy books) and recitals of hymns millions time. The person entangled in troubles and difficulties only search for methods that are simple to remove the difficulties and all this is available in Red Book astrology. Due to this reason only the knower of old Indian astrology also praise Red Book astrology.
Some people call Red Book methods as totka (the unscientific hit and trial method) – to do something without thinking is called totka and doing which benefit or harm both can happen. The more I have read this book the more scientific base I have found in this. If some principles of some known information are there, these cannot be termed as totka. For the information of you people I am presenting the principles of Red Book astrology that are of making a planet meet with other or to keep two meeting planets separate or to covert the bad effect of a planet into good effect.
The purpose of writing this book is only this that whatever information I could get out of Red Book astrology that should reach to more and more people and society should be able to take full advantage of this information. Lot may scholars have left behind their information in the shape of books that benefited society. Vidya daan (to impart knowledge for free) is the supreme charity. With this purpose I am presenting this book that I hope to complete with the God given intellect and strength because the intention is niskam (without any ulterior motto)
