The book is meant to lift astrologers of a beginner or intermediate level up to an advanced level. To work on the core roots of the subject, the first chapter deals with the Panca-anga, or the five limbs of the Vedic calendar. This particular area of jyotish is often overlooked due to lack of knowledge in application on part of the astrologer, and also the idea that it is merely a calendar system, and hence overlooked completely by astrologers following the Western Astrology System.
"This is a fine book for basic and middle level Jyotisa and gives out various principles and methods that have been a part of the oral tradition of Orissa. Visti Larsen has been a good student of mine and is a Jyotish Guru who understands the working of Jyotish and is able to explain its principles in simple and straight steps."
