Introduction

The original book BHRIGU SUTRAS, which I am translating has no introduction whatsoever  and hence, I am unable to say anything about the author thereof. It gives valuable hints and aids, in delineating the character & fortunes of a native , in various walks of life.  What is popularly known as Bhava Phala (effects of the 12 houses) in standard texts, is dealt with a direct touch, and with particular reference, to the planets stationed in various houses, the aspects they receive and the fact, that a planet is in exaltation, own or enemy house. Even a cursory perusal of the book, would convince even a professional astrologer, that this book can enable astrologers, to predict the future of a native, and form an opinion about planetary dispositions in a horoscope, with a fair amount of ease.

Sage Bhrigu, like other authors, has described in anumber of slokas, acts of sexual perversion, arising as a result of peculiar planetary mappings. With a view to maintaining literary decency, these have simply been termed as "sexual perversion".

It will be seen that the Sage indicates occurrence of certain important events in a native's life at specified ages. It was noticed by me, in a number of horoscopes, that, though the events forecast, have actually occurred, the years of their occurrence (in about 50% of the cases) were different.  I have not been able to ascertain, as to how the Sage has fixed the various ages, at which the events were to occur and why they occur late, in a number of cases. Despite this slight discrepancy, Bhrigu Sutras, will prove to be a valuable aid to practising astrologers in making decisions, on important questions concerning nativities.

Part II of this book is comparable to a First-Aid Box or South Indian Cuisine - Aviyal - which can contain all the vegetables that a cook can lay his hands on. Important information on Bhava Phala, transits, assessment of strength of planets, major periods and their effects etc. have been included.
