Advanced Prashna

Prashna deals with answering questions asked to a Daivajna based on the moment in which the Prasna is asked or the Prashna Kundali cast. Like Hora Shastra, it is an extensive discipline that requires years of practice to master. Before advancing to Prashna, one must have a fair understanding of Hora Shastra, i.e., natal horoscopy. Prashna Shastra builds upon the same fundamentals of Jyotisha, such as Graha, Rasi, Bhava, and Nakshatra Karakatvas.



After covering the fundamentals of Prashna in volume 23A, the focus here is to explore some advanced methods of Prashna, including Ashtamangala, Devaprashna and Yuddhaprashna, among others. This volume also covers lesser-used aspects of Prashna, such as dreams and omens. A wise Daivajna is expected to have a wide knowledge of several disciplines, including dreams and omens. Even though they are important, they are less discussed in the Jyotisha community. I have brought them to the earnest seekers to build their knowledge holistically.



If you are looking for a book with practical demonstrations and live examples, this book is not for you. This volume mainly aims to explore and build a robust theoretical foundation on several lesser-known aspects of Prashna so that the seeker can develop a comprehensive understanding of various branches of Jyotish. Even though the book mainly focuses on theory, I sincerely hope that the seekers will find it useful.
