Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
The Nakshatras are an important cornerstone of Jyotish. Along with the Rashis, Bhavas, and Grahas, the Nakshatras form a fundamental building block. The importance of Nakshatras cannot be understated as they are governed by Chandra, who signifies our mental, psychological, and emotional impulses. The Nakshatras govern our subtle yet powerful mental impulses that eventually manifest as gross events.
The knowledge of the Nakshatras is vast like an ocean, and regardless of how much one deliberates on this, it is never enough. My humble attempt is to present this in a concise yet structured manner so that seekers are not lost in this vast world. The Nakshatras form an important basis for delineating one’s psychological impulses. Besides, they find great use in delineating the Janma and Muhurta Kundali.
Chakras such as Shatapada, Hoda, Sarvatobhadra, Graha Purusha Chakras, Surya and Chandra Kalanala Chakra, etc., are based on Nakshatra. This book provides the foundation on which the edifice of the several Chakras will be built in a later book (book #19). It is my sincere wish that seekers find this work useful.

Sarajit Poddar (aka Varahamihira) is a Jyotish enthusiast. He learned this subject from his paternal uncle, Sri Manoj Kanti Poddar, and was guided by Pt. Sanjay Rath. He is a seeker and wishes to understand the alignment of the forces that govern the celestial bodies and worldly affairs. In his studies over the thirty years, he endeavoured to uncover the hidden meaning behind the shlokas and sutras of the classical texts and reconcile their differences. His search for the hidden meaning behind the Jyotish principles took the shape of this book, “In Search of Jyotish.” He wishes to share his observations, reflections, and experiences with like-minded seekers.
