Forward Shri Chandrakan t R. Bhatt B.A.LL.B. is a zealous resea rch student o f Astro logy. He has writt en severa l books on Astrology. Origill:1l1y he was an advocate of Sayana system of Astrology popularly known as Weste rn system , Some seven yea rs back during his frequ ent visits to me, we had a good deal o f d iscussion about the heauties and accuracy of Nirayana system of Astrology or Indian Astrol ogy. He gradually turned his a ttention to the study of Nirayaml system of Astrology and to- day he has become an ardent advocate o f Hind u Astrology. 'Nakshatra Chimamani' is his further contribution in the field of Astro logy. Nakshatras (Conste llations) play important role in tho;: lie ld of, not onl y pred icti ve si de of Astrology bu t also in all the rd igious ce remonies of the Hi ndus. The Vimshotlllry Dasha system in tim ing events advocated by the great Parash ar is based on constellat ion and its sub di visions. For pe rfectly j udging the st rength or weak ness of a house and it s lo rd the Astrologer has to ta ke into consideration the sign and the constellation and it s sub di vision, for then only he can evaluate the physical (Sthula) , the astral (Sukshma ) and Casual (Karan) strength and weak ness of the s ign and its lord. Thus the 12 signs of the Zodiac arc divided into 249 divisions of the 27 constellations. The (:ffec! of any planet can be judge d well if we know the place ment in tf ~ horoscope, o f the lord of the house, the lord o f the conste~' ati o n and the lord of the sub division of the constellation it is placed in. Thus a planet is controlled by the lord of the sign, the lord of the constellation and the lord of the sub division of the constellation. For the last thousa nd years or mo re the Northern part of India was constantl y invaded by the invaders from Central Asia. Greal centres of learning in the North were plundered and valuable literatures were reduced t o ashes. F ortunately the remote Southern part of India was saved from the plunders of these invade rs and the families of the great scholars of th e South preserved the rich heritage of knowledge including knowledge of Astrol ogy propounded by great Rishes of India.

II With th e passage of lime consteli a tion;}1 Astrology bc(.'a m(' a fam ily secret of t he A!;troiogcrs in the Soul h and th ere wa s lill ie li te rature in the form of books available fo r t he general mass of the st udents of Astro logy. Sh ri Gopa l Krishna Rao of Madras has written three parts of Nad i Astrology. Shri Seetaram Sharma of Bangalore has also writlen a hoo k entitled ' A GatCII'OY (0 Astrology'. The fam il y members of the great Shri 8. Suryana rayana Raa of Bangalorc the found er o f 'A s trological lvfagad ll(!' and pa r ticularly Shri B. V. Raman the prince a mong A ~ t ro l ogers and the prese nt edito r of 'A strological Maga~ille ' who has established the genuineness of ~Iin d ll Astro logy ,IS a perfect sc ience not only in Ind ia but a lso in the world h;lVc brought Astrol ogy to the reach of the stU{h.:nt ~ of Astrology. The late Jyotish Martand Shri K. S. Krishnamurti of Madr as has also eOnlributcd greatly to the spread of the knowledge or wnstclla l ionnl A~tmlogy not only by publishing boo ks and Ihi! maga zine' ASfrolflgy and Alhrisllto' hut also by moving in evc ry impo rtant corne r of India and lec turing on cons tell at io n:d Asr ro los-y. He has termed thi s conslellation al Astro logy as Krishn:nllu rti Paddhati and which according to him is thc on ly pe rfect Paddhati (system). This cla im of the late J yo tish Mart and Silri K. S. Kri shnamurti has created a good deal o f controversy rcg:Hd ing its efficacy and perfectness . But in my humble opinion th e Pacldhati (method) is the accumulation of the essential preachings (,r th e gr:.!!tt Paf:l~ her . Gai mini, Ma ntreshwar. G ancsh Divagn". Ramuaya lu Varahm ihir. Kalidas and host of other astro loge rs of the pa~t a nd il d eserves considerations a nd furlher research 10 eradi clII C its short com ings. Much hidden knowletige of Astrol ogy yet rema ins to be dug. out. Shri B. V. Raman. the lea rned and th e world renowned editor of ' Astrological Magazine' has been d o ing great service to t he wo rld of A£trology by procuring manusc ripts oC thi5 sCIence and making them public.

III Shri Chundr3kant R . Bh:.\H inspile of his failing heal th has bo!ell ~~ asclcssly researching on the constellat ional Astrology and thi s boo k •Nakshalra Chintamolli' is the fruit of his sincere la bour anrl resea rch. He has evolved and discussed only those pri.dples of predi cting which he has fou nd wo rkable in giving correct predicti ons. II is for the readers to judge lhe merit or otherwise of this book. ShTj Vivek Ed ucation Trust, M a ninagar, Ahmedabad has underta ke n to publi sh this book with a n humble view to contribute to the ~ pread of knowledge of Astrology whi ch h:IS its roolS in Vedas.

We o nly request the readers neither to accept nor reject the principles of pred ict ing discussed by Shri Bhatt in this book hLll examine th em.
