Thanks

The book by David Frawley is the best for beginning astrologers. It covers the essence of planets, signs and houses and introduces perfectly the spiritual depth of vedic astrology. The book by James Braha (Ancient Hindu Astrology for the modern Western Astrologer) is also a classic. A very good book is How to practice Vedic Astrology by Andrew Bloomfield. Very accesable, clearly written, with a good understanding of the practical and spiritual meaning of the houses. Besides it comes with a free program to calculate your sidereal chart (as does the book by William Levacy)

Ryan you are a honor to our Indian heritage. May SRF's gurus push you higher bhai. Sunil

[@AliNoura]

Thank you Ryan for this video, im certainly going to get the entire list as I trust you judgement, the art and science of vedic astrology vol 1 and 2 already on their way to me, cant wait to start reading!

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Ali Noura You are welcome.

I recently stumbled on to Vebic astrology with new passion, however with that being it is said it is easy to get caught up in spending a ton of money on courses for a quick learn. I quickly realized this is complex and there is no quick fix. Articles I have read for example of S American early culture spent their entire life studying astrology which only reconfirms what you are trying to drive home in this video. Thanks for book recommendations.

I like Beneath the sky. It's got planets in signs and the house lord combinations. And since I recently got interested in Ayurveda, chapter 19 talks about how a Vaidyar ( Ayurvedic practitioner) will check the pulse of the patient and also the natal chart as well as Prasna chart to give a correct diagnosis. Well, Ayurveda, yoga, astrology are all the limbs of the Vedas, I guess. It is difficult to separate one from the other. I like art and science of volume 2 for the house lords too. I often read both books. I don't have much luck with the nakshatras. It never really went into my head. I do have that 27 stars and gods book. Well, I shall study whatever I feel naturally guided to learn. It had been a great joy studying with the rest of the students for the spring class. Looking forward to fall class. Will you guys as well. See you on the forum.

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Stefanie Fernando Great to have you in class Stefanie. I see Emily has your name down to attend the Fall Semester classes. ashevillevedicastrology.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/combining-jaimini-karakas-transits-cusps-and-avashtas/

[@jillianclemmons]

Awesome, Ryan! This is excellent:) I was just finishing up a book today, Buddhist Astrology: Chart Interpretation from a Buddhist Perspective, that I'd started reading before taking your 101 course. The author has a section about meditation practices and how important they are for astrology, and it reminded me of your teachings. I appreciate the order that you put these in since I'm going to be getting your book and Kala for fall, and I've purchased Under the Vedic Sky but I don't want to dive in w/out knowing the fundamentals...so it's still on my shelf. Looking forward to the Myth and Magic course next too. I was thinking, perhaps you could do a video going over your own chart as an example--and all the steps you'd use if it was a stranger's chart. I think it would be fun for your students + listeners. Also, just heard that Charlie Sheen's got a Rahu/Moon. Interesting!

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

jillian clemmons My chart is pretty boring and 1 sided. But I do plan on doing some more course work putting together chart interpretation examples from the ground up. Although that will come a little after beginning the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Course that I will post on this channel towards the new year.

[@ichatwithcats]

Ryan Kurczak I would love to see an analysis of your chart or other astrologers charts. I read an article called "the gifts of the 8th house" and apparently most astrologers have the 8th house or 8th house lord connected with either the 1st or 10th houses so it would be great to see the interpretation of a chart like this in action.

[@justinl776]

i see the saturn symbol, whats the rest of the tattoo on your arm?

[@nicpatean5946]

This video is great because I really want to start practicing Astrology :) Gracias.

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Nicolae Patean You are welcome Nicolae.

[@luizatopala6170]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@astrozoo]

James Braha's books are good too, Barbara Pijan's website is a great reference source, esp. the Nakshatra section, Saptarishis Astrology website is proving a gold mind, + Robert Hand's Planet's in Transit (only book I've read of his, Rob Hand's articles are good too) also liking John Frawley, and Jyotish Star website has awesome interviews

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

faustozone I agree.

[@shravana108]

Ryan, don't forget to mention that one has also got to learn to think wholistically in order to be able to combine various apparently opposite approaches, methods, techniques etc.

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

+Reinald van Kessel See my other videos to be reassured on this point.

[@cheickonate]

is there other books that are as describing of the planets, the signs, and houses as the book of david frawley ?

[@naoma5]

Love your book - so clear and digestible

[@dreamspell]

Thank you very much for this video and recommendations 😊

[@tanjapoplasen6412]

Hi, and ty for the informative video. I would like to know if there are any books on the yoga (grahas alliance) in jyotish topic? I was wondering if there is a list of those yogas, and their explanation in one book. Ty in advance!

[@BlueSky-ms6vw]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 🙏

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

thx

[@skystranger73]

thank you, Ryan.

[@AlexLimaL1111]

The Book "Prasna Tantra" needs a new edition. Te present edition costs over U$100!

[@dennissevr]

Gracias.. 🤗💜

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

YW

[@ichatwithcats]

Hi Ryan, which of these books talk a bit more about the signs? I find that most books describe the planets and houses in great detail but not so much the actual signs and I think it would be very helpful to get a good grasp of what these signs are like.

[@planetary_sara]

My favorites are The Systems Approach to Vedic Astrology books by V.K. Choudhary.

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Sara Hawthorne That sounds familiar, but I've not read those books. How does he organize the system? Is it based on Parashara? Jaimini? Would love to hear more.

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Sara Hawthorne I scanned the information. It doesn't look much different than Parashara Astrology, simply organized well. Looks very similar to the approach I'm familiar with. Will look into one of his books eventually to confirm. Thanks for sharing.

[@planetary_sara]

Ryan Kurczak Yeah I use a program called Parashara's light in order to construct a horoscope, but I never read the interpretations on the program because they are outdated (You will have many cows and 10 sons.)

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Sara Hawthorne Hah. Understood, but that's not what I meant. In Brihat Parashara, that is where the majority of techniques and principles come from. Not the out dated interpretation, but how to read the chart...examples....ishta/kashta...planetary friend ships....Avasthas....vargas...planetary strengths...dasha calculations...etc.

[@planetary_sara]

Right :) Isn't this information fascinating?

[@veras1228]

Wonderful! Thank you✨

[@ryanharrison3118]

That helps, thank you!

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Ryan Harrison Excellent.

[@victoriaamita-amidaparadis6704]

WoW so impressed!

[@9790203076]

Hi ! Master Ryan What's the planetary combination that made you enter into astrology..?

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

God.

[@9790203076]

@@RyansVedicAstrology Well said!

[@Raj-Shingala]

I suggest books by Bepin Behari, thanks for the list

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

!

[@rachanafen]

Do you have any advice on how to find a genuine honest reputable vedic astrologer? I've always wanted to learn Vedic astrology but its a long process. I have a few questions i wish to get clarity on in my own life. Any advice would be much appreciated Thanks!

[@alexalex8923]

The links for the books take you to a log in page

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

ok You can find them on amazon

[@conservativeliberal4435]

Hi Ryan Where can I buy books regarding study of all Divisional Charts in full detail?

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Frederick Carreon I don't know of any personally, although I thought about writing one myself. The information in Art and SCience of Vedic Astrology I and II will give you a good start, particularly if you check out the Navamsha and Dasamsha mp3 download on my site.

[@gnostie]

Ryan, could you please suggest good books on Western astrololgy too?

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

+gnostie I cannot. I have never studied Western. If I ever do, I'll let you know.

[@lailagillani]

The essential guide to astrology by April Elliott Kent & Predictive Astrology by Bernadette.

[@catherinemira75]

No James Braha... 🤔

[@maevemystic]

Do you recommend I start with your beginner's book then since I want to learn more Vedic Astrology?

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

Yes, Art and Science of Vedic Astrology Volume 1... www.createspace.com/3862874 Then follow along with the free 15 hour intro course on this channel. Then I'd advise following up with the Astrological Principles 1, 2, and 3 which are downloadable courses. ashevillevedicastrology.wordpress.com/asheville-vedic-astrology-academy/

[@ADGAMINGANDTECH]

Wonderful #ASTROAD

[@oskarknapik2609]

Could you recommend some software for vedic astrology?

[@dreamspell]

In depth books for nakshatras?

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

There isn't much original material on the nakshatras. Most new books are simply creations of modern astrologers embellishing, so the truth or not is hard to discern without a lifetime of study itself.

[@babydiku91]

i think brht nakhatra by sanjay rath is a great book

[@spannycat2]

The two nakshatra books by Vic Dicara. He uses the mythology of the nakshatra deities to explain the meanings.

[@mahaj1861]

If you could only recommend one book only which one would it be?
