In The Divine Forces of the Lunar Naksatras, the ancient Vedic portrayal of the twenty-seven naksatra rulers are revealed. Included are their characterizations, mystical powers, sacrificial roles, myths and legends. The translation of several critical Sanskrit texts never before available to the Jyotisa community are presented. Testimonial: "The Divine Forces of the Lunar Nakshatras is a great resource for any Vedic astrologer who is truly interested in understanding the mythology behind the Nakshatras. It is a scholarly work that deserves a place on every Jyotishi's bookshelf " James Kelleher "This book is an extraordinary labor of love birthed after a decade-long gestation period. I have not encountered any other work on nakshatras deities that has been so thoroughly researched and has woven together the Vedic and Puranic references into a coherent thesis. The attention to detail is astounding as is the dedication to faithful transliteration of the Sanskrit and the care given to cite the original sources. It is a serious work that will greatly facilitate further research and inquiry on the part of lovers of the Vedic tradition." Penny Farrow
