Past few decades have witnessed a phenomenal upsurge in receptiveness to principles and applications of Vedic or Indian astrology in everyday life. Despite this growing acceptance, many continue to associate it with dogmas and superstitions. The book Four Trines of Vedic Astrology provides sound evidences and aims to remove the cobwebs of ignorance.
Written in a simple and lucid language over nine chapters, the author has identified the right place of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha houses in one’s birth chart.
No book has ever been written that relates predictions of houses (Bhavas) in the form of four trines:
1. First trine Purush Trine (Dharma houses) relates to 1st, 5th and 9th houses.
2. Second trine Aishwarya Trine (Artha houses) relates to 10th, 2nd and 6th houses.
3. Third trine Prakrati Trine (Kama houses) relates to 7th, 11th and 3rd houses.
4. Fourth trine Vairagya Trine (Moksha houses) relates to 4th, 8th and 12th houses.
Constellations, signs and planets and their characteristics, casting of birth charts in Indian and Western style, significance of yogas and other aspects of life such as, longevity, education, business or service, marriage, financial position, foreign travels, health and remedial measures etc have been explained in the most unconventional way that even a novice would find tempted to read further.
Lakshmi Narayan Sharma was born in Alwar (Rajasthan) on 18th October 1935 but for the past 60 years has been residing in Gurgaon (Haryana). Right since his early days he displayed great interest towards religion, spirituality and astrology. He spent over three decades serving the education department of Haryana and retired as a gazetted officer. For his contribution to social services he was honoured by the governor of Haryana. He also had the distinction to be the editor of 'Jansankhya Shiksha', a departmental magazine of the education department. The present book “Four Trines in Vedic Astrology' is his second work on astrology. The first one 'Jyotish Pradeep' in Hindi was accepted well in the market and is now running into second edition.
