K.P. KRISHMAN'S ASTROLOGY FOR BEGINNERS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ASTROLOGY (I to VI Vol.) I ASTROLOGY FOR BEGINNERS SEr (VOL 1 to 6) KRISHMAN & CO. BY SOTHIDAMAMANI K. SUBRAMANIAM EDITOR & PUBLISHER OF KP & ASTROLOGY S/o. PROF. LATE K.S. KRISHNAMURTHI FOUNDER OF ASTROLOGY &ATHRISHTA STELLAR SYSTEMS AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE BOOK Krishnamurti Padtldhati has rightly derived its name in the Divine Science of Astrology after the great inventor of the Padhdhati Late Sothida Mannan, Jyotish Prof. K.S.Krishnamurti. The Pa"dhdhati owes its outstanding greatne.ss to the unique discovery of the sub lord Theory and the Ruling planet method in the art of correct astrological predictions. No other known system of Astrology in this country has surpassed or equalled this Paddhati. After weathering many storms, for several decades this Padhdhati has evoked great interest amongst astrologers and come to stay and acknowledged as the most powerful, potent and effective too. . ···1 realm of astrological prediction. Suffice to say that K.P. ranks "par excellent" in the Astrological World. Sothida Mannan, Jyotish Marthand Prof . K.S. Krishnamurti had in his life time authored five readers ·on his Padhdhati covering almost all aspects· Of astrology including transit effects etc. The books were written in his own inimitable style and generally learners and practis- ing astrologers had little difficulty in learning this great subject. However, there was a yearning amongst the learners and well- wishers of this Padhdhati for more advanced information and elabora- tion of that led me to conceive the present publication viz "Astrology for Beginners". This book is mainly for beginners and learners to have an insight into Krishnamurti Padhdhati and their application in the read- ing of horoscopes of clients. The several important textual matters contained in the five readers ·have been brought in a condensed form and explained with adequate exampl es of horoscopes so as to be easily intelligible and understandable to the readers. However, it will not be out of place to mention that it is not a substitute to the five original readers authored by the great Master. If all, this is a preliminary and primary book. adumbreuing all the important basic principles .and theories of Krishnamurti Padhdhati at one place in one volume so as to enable the aspirants to learn the Padhdhati without any difficulty. The role of punarp"loo.Dosha, cusps and sub-lords, Vasthu Shastra etc. have been added and rtdequately dealt with in this book, much of which has not been found in the original readers. A chapter on Sub-sub theory is an added attraction to this book. It is hoped that this book will be of great use to beginners and other learners of this Padhdhati and will be accorded a great reception in the astrological world. No doubt it will constitute a valuable addition to ones astrological Library. A. U!HOR I ASTROLOGY FOR BEGINNERS VOLUME -I I 13. HOW DASA IS CALCULATED 76 14.
