PrefaceSri Vadrevu Suryanarayana Murty garu was a famous Astrologer ofRajahmundry. He was born on 8 October 1904 in Vijayanagaram at 1:55pm, andattained moksha on 5 May 1978 at Rajahmundry at 22:10pm. During hisdistinguished life period 1904-1978, he made special contributions to the subjectof Astrology. He wrote a book initially in Telugu in two volumes, the first in 1925titled Jataka Narayaneeyam in 227 pages and the second in 1945 titled YogavaliKhandamu in 146 pages. For the benefit of non-Telugu readers, he wrote theEnglish version of the book in a single volume with the combined title JatakaNarayaneeyam & Yogavali Khandam, in 268 pages. The Citizens Committee ofRajahmundry honoured him on 7 July 1957 by conferring the title Jyothisha VidyaBhushana. He was living in Danavaipeta, Rajahmundry, where my father used tolive too. Just then, I had graduated from College of Engineering, Kakinada, andjoined engineering service.A brief analysis is given below of the English text authored by SriSuryanarayana Murty garu, which was in the form of running notes. Part I of thebook, titled Jataka Narayaneeyam, deals with 16 adhyayas, namely Saungna, GrahaBala, Ayurdaya, Rahu and Ketu Graha Bala, Kalatra, Putra, Matru, Pitru, Bhatru,Shasta, Karma, Raja Yoga, Moksha, Niranika, Stri Jataka and Pretyeka Yoga Adhyayas.Also, it covers Jaimini Jataka Phalas. And, Part II, titled Yogavali Khandamu, dealswith Yogas of naturally good and bad planets for the 12 bhavas, baalaarishtam,ayurdayam, and misraphala khandamu. In this part, Sri Suryanarayana Murty garudealt with the Yogas given by each planet from Sun to Rahu-Ketu for all the 9planets. While dealing with each planet, he gave examples of variouscombinations for all the 12 lagnas against the planet and the results there on. Fora student of astrology or for practicing astrologers, the results for a particularLagna have to be referred to the examples given for various planets at differentpages of the book. It is tedious and time consuming exercise unless one is fullyconversant with the entire text of 146 pages. Also, it is impractical to rememberall the rules laid down therein. This limitation was the motivation of writing thisbook, with a view to make it simpler and easy to use by students of astrologyand practicing astrologers.In this book, all examples and sampradayas given by Sri SuryanarayanaMurty garu are re-written to make it easy to understand and implement thevarious rules and examples laid down by him. This book has descriptions of thesubject for 9 planets and their combinations, lagna-wise separately for each of the

12 Lagnas. This method of presenting the material brings out all the rules andexamples given for each Lagna at one single place, with which one canunderstand the meanings easily. Also, the examples are further simplified bypresenting their essence in numerical tabular form for all examples given in eachlagna. From these tables, an astrology student or a practicing astrologer canreadily assess a planet or a combination of planets for the Horoscope beingexamined, and immediately say whether the planet (whose dasa and antardasacurrently running) will give yoga or avayoga, and indicate results of the planetscoming at a later date. This book Jataka Mani Manjusha in English covers issuesdiscussed in both the Telugu and English books written by Sri SuryanarayanMurty garu, namely Jataka Narayaneeyam (in Telugu), Yogavali Khandamu (inTelugu) and Jataka Narayaneeyam & Yogavali Khandamu (in English). The sameprinciples of bringing out rules and examples are adopted, but lagna-wise and ina tabular form.The subject is presented in 14 relatively independent Chapters for easyunderstanding and quick grasping of the subject. Chapter 2 presents with detailsof Saugnas along with information available on Vedic Astrology in literature.Sketches have been included to give the reader a good idea of the state of the artof astronomy related to astrology; these sketches are adapted from availableliterature. Further, two special chapters are included, namely Satellites (asChapter 12) and Fundamentals of Medical Astrology (as Chapter 13), for the benefitof students of astrology. Invisible planets are called Satellites in AstrologicalScience, and as Upagrahas in Vedic Astrology. Satellites are powerful andresponsible for adverse influence and effects on results of astrology. Descriptionsof Satellites are presented along with their effects and results as presented inclassical texts like Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram, Phaladeepika, Uttarakalamrutam,and Jataka Parijatam. Satellites influence the fixing of auspicious time forundertaking journeys, purchasing vehicles, matters of money and progeny, andscience of horary astrology; they have evil influences on the houses they occupy.Today, medical astrology is a relatively less developed branch of astrology. Nonoteworthy research has been conducted in this direction. Medical practitionersare too busy in their professional work, and astrologers seem to have littleinclination towards understanding elements of medical science. Therefore, at theoutset, it is appropriate to accept that astrological combinations for most of theailments are not well understood in the present state of knowledge of Astrology.In this book, an attempt is made to explain the basics within the limitedunderstanding. Planetary combinations are identified that give rise to variousdiseases as given in literature.This book is expected to serve as a ready reckoner for interested studentsand astrologers.Challa Somasundaramvi

The lifeperiods specified for such operations are detailed for the rehabilitation of the patient.This book of Sri Challa Somasundaram Jyothisha Mani Manjusha is not only usefulto a student of Astrology, but serves as a guide to scholars in the subject.Madhura Krishna Murthy Sastry

Dr. C. V. B. SubrahmaniamHeadDepartment of Jyotisha–VastuPotti Sriramulu Telugu UniversityHyderabad28 December 2013Jatakachandrika is popularly known as Laghuparasari and explains the views ofSage Parasara. There is a custom in our society to teach this to the students of astrology inthe beginning stages. Sri Vadrevu Suryanarayana Murty garu made an attempt to studyand explain it vividly. Sri Challa Somasundaram in his work Manjusha explained themethod of assessment of benefic and malefic planets for different ascendants byconsolidating and explaining the principles given in the work of Sri VadrevuSuryanarayana Murty. Actually, the book of Somasundaram is very good in its welldisciplined study and detailed explanations. Moreover, it is very lucky that the famousscholar of India, Sri Madhura Krishnamurty Sastry suggested the title to this book.Sri Somasundaram’s work is full of clarity. Sri Somasundaram designed thisbook first in Telugu language and after with more expansion in English, without givingscope to any doubts. We can say that this work is an original work rather than atranslation. While appreciating his attempt, I feel that there is a necessity for scholars aswell as astrology students to make use of this work. This attempt is very muchcommendable, which surpasses the work of a Ph.D. thesis and demonstrates thelaborious work of Somasundaram forgetting his age factor.C. V. B. Subrahmanyam

Pandit Sadashiv RudraswamyPresident, Vedic Astrology, AhmedabadChairman, Jyothish Vishwavidalaya, BangaloreDirector, Indian Forum of Yoga SamskrutamUniversity, Florida, USAChairman, Bharadwaj Institute of VedicSciences, AhmedabadAhmedabad 3750154 January 2014Though I have not met Sri Challa Somasundaram in person, the book Jataka ManiManjusha, written by him in English, made me understand his abilities and deepknowledge in Vedic Astrology. The book is a treasure trove of Astrology, not only for thebeginners, but also for the learned astrologers, as the book covers from Astronomy toAstrology, important subjects, like casting of horoscope to fine tuning of predictiveastrology, introduction of satellite planets in predictive astrology, giving total details ofsickness and cure, remedial measures, etc., in Medical Astrology, which is nothing, but aboon to a beginner of Astrology.The book will definitely serve as a ready reckoner and reference book, as itcovers every aspect of astrology. I have gone through the book in detail and I am verymuch impressed with the technique incorporated in writing the book, which is possibleonly by stalwarts, like Challa Somasundaram. I wish him every success in his futureendeavours and pray the almighty to guide him to write more books on astrology tobenefit modern astrologers.Sadhashiv Rudraswamy
