Health and Longevity : A Journey into the World of Vedic Astrology

<p>This book deals with health and longevity. These two subjects are perhaps the most important ones in delineating a Kuṇḍalī because when one has good health and vitality and is granted the needed longevity only then can one live one&rsquo;s life to the fullest. Even the best of the yogas in a Kuṇḍalī become meaningless when health is bad. What is the fun of having a huge bank balance when health does not support one to perform fulfilling activities?</p><p>Longevity is another important but complex subject. A Kuṇḍalī may have excellent Rāja or Dhana yogas but if an individual does not live to experience them what is the use of such yogas? Therefore the Śāstras advise us to judge one&rsquo;s longevity before embarking on any other assessments. However this is one of the most difficult and complex areas and a structured study is important.&nbsp;</p><p><b>There are several mathematical models such as Piṇḍāyu A&ntilde;śāyu and Nisargāyu that help us determine one&rsquo;s longevity through a structured mathematical framework. However in Kaliyuga such models do not grant satisfactory results because of the fall of Dharma. One must complement them with several other models such as the methods of three lords and three pairs. Besides that one must use the Daśās such as Brahmā Śūla and Navā&ntilde;śa. This book has a structured study of the subject.</b></p>
