Path of Light, Vol. 1: Introduction to Vedic Astrology

by James Kelleher, Arun Sharma (Illustrator), Debra Infante (Editor)

In Path of Light, Volume 1: Introduction to Vedic Astrology, James Kelleher presents a comprehensive introduction to science of Jyotish, the astrology of India. The first of a two volume set, Volume 1 covers the principal building blocks of Jyotish, describing the signs, planets, houses and nakshatras in a lucid style. Path of Light s treatment of the Nakshatras delves deeply into the symbolism and mythology of the 27 lunar constellations. It introduces many of the ancient myths and stories related to the nakshatras, opening a largely unexplored goldmine of archetypes, valuable to both advanced and beginning students of Vedic astrology. It also presents 27 original paintings done by a Rajasthani master artist, vividly depicting the nakshatra-related myths in a traditional style. Volume 1 contains a substantive section on the houses of the horoscope, including a methodical treatment of planets and house ruler placements in the houses. This makes the book a valuable reference for any serious student of Jyotish. James Kelleher also provides a free chart calculator on his website (www.jameskelleher.com), which makes all of the material in this book accessible to the beginning student or even the non astrologer. The book is digested wisdom, not just standardized information or New Age fluff. It covers nearly everything the beginning Vedic astrologer would want to know, in both depth and detail. - Dr. David Frawley, author of over 20 books on the vedic sciences.

I love James Kelleher's work. A Vedic astrologer I know recommended him to me. I have his second volume too. What a brilliant man! and so clear in his explanations. If you have a basic or intermediate knowledge of Vedic astrology, this will take you far. I refer to it frequently.
