Man has always been curious to know what life has in store for him and catch a glimpse of the future. It is precisely because of this reason that the science of astrology with its numerous branches has traversed continents, journeyed countries and has spread all over the world. The markets today are flooded with books on this subject. However, most of these books are neither simple enough to be understood by a layman nor comprehensive enough to guide the pundits. Bhrigu Samhita has been written keeping these factors in mind.

This book is a condensed version of the original Bhrigu Samhita authored by the great Sage Bhrigu. The principle that the book follows is that the mystery of the whole human life is hidden in the nine planets of a horoscope. Thus to discover the events in the life of a native, it is important to ascertain the effects of every planet. It is with this foundation that every ascendant is described in the book.

Dr. T.M. Rao (Turaga Madhusudhana Rao) was born on July 3, 1927 at Guntur in Andhra Pradesh. He did his B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc. (Research) from the Andhra University at Survey of India as a Gazetted Officer in 1948 and retired as Director in 1985.

Though he had keen interest in Astrology, he could pursue this only after his retirement in 1985. He started his professional consultations in 1987 in the Twin Cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. He developed interest in Medical Astrology and started giving his opinions on health matters in 1997 to the different patients who were undergoing treatment in the various Corporate Hospitals. The Open International University for Complementary Medicines, Colombo conferred upon him D.Sc. in November 1997. he got several titles from different Astrological Associations and Bodies as well. He has authored two books Marriage Matching Astrologically and Astrology for Layman published by Pustak Mahal, New Delhi, which have received wide appreciation from all over India and abroad. He has also published a book Muhurta and Allied Topics on his own by getting financial assistance from Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, Tirupati.

Preface

As the term samhita connotes 'compilation', it cannot be expected to be an original work. Its business is to condense many Shastras. It, therefore, includes details of many subjects found in varied works. The samhita in astrological parlance is nothing but an encyclopaedia of astrological and other aspects of human interest. It is also mundane astrology with many scientific topics and other subjects in which human beings have an abiding faith. Hence, the samhita can rightly be termed a work of social science, for social science has reference to and explanation of almost all the aspects of social life and those that have a human appeal.

Varamihira expresses his indebtedness to ancient sages like Kapila, Garga, Kasyapa, Atri, Bhrigu etc; for according to him, a country that does not posses a good astrologer is damned. A good astrologer must be an all-rounder. Though there is no dearth of books available on predictive astrology in this world, which are grand in their own way, most of them are neither easy to the satisfaction of general public not comprehensive enough to satisfy the experts. So keeping this in view, Bhrigu Samhita has been invoked. The primary view of this book is that because the mystery of whole human life is hidden in the nine planets of a horoscope, it will not be possible to discover the events of the whole life of the native till the effects of every planet is not clearly known without which the complicated science of astrology cannot be simplified. It is with this foundation that every ascendant is described in the book.

The book gives very valuable hints on how to find out the character of a native, his moral inclination, and his fortunes and misfortunes in various walks of life. It also provides useful information with regard to longevity and prosperity of the native, his parents, brothers and children. This will enable any amateur or professional astrologer to predict with accuracy the future of the native and to form an opinion as to how a planet is disposed in a particular nativity.

. In the course of writing this book, several publications were referred to and I have endeavoured to present in this book the essential principles culled out from various standard and published works.

The author is highly grateful to Pustak Mahal, New Delhi, who showed their keen interest in publishing this book.
