About the Book:
Astrology is not a complex science as it often made out to be and, in the hands of the world-famous 'human computer' Shakuntala Devi, it becomes yet simpler and easier to understand and practise.
The present book discusses zodiacs, planets, asterisms, the rising signs, Bhavas, Yogas, Dasas and their effects and transits. It enables the reader to cast a horoscope, and also read one. It is a complete book that leaves nothing to become an amateur astrologer.
Shakuntala Devi (4-11-1929 - 20-4-2013) lacked any formal education but possessed an extraordinary ability to complete the most complex mathematical calculations in double-quick time that she became known as "the human computer".
As India's most remarkable mathematical prodigy, she had astounded friends and family with her numerical prowess since childhood. In June 1980, at Imperial College, London, accurately multiplied two random 13-digit numbers in a few seconds, a feat that earned her a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
Her ability to solve complicated arithmetical problems with apparent ease and astonishing speed had stunned observers since the 1970s. Witty and sharp-minded, she possessed exceptional powers of retention and appeared to harness the power of several mnemonic devices in her brain.
