Review Quotes

"Vedic Astrology for Beginners offers a concise interpretation of an incredibly vast topic. I am looking forward to adding this to my library and recommend it to anyone who wants a comprehensive resource as they dive deeper into understanding this ancient system." --Margrit Mikulis, ND, AD, President of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association

"Not all astrologers make good teachers; not all teachers are good astrologers, and few are steeped in Jyotisha's authentic traditions. Pamela McDonough brings the best of all worlds in this book--an easy, approachable teaching style and a deep respect for tradition." --Simon Chokoisky, author of The 5 Dharma Types (www.spirittype.com)

"Pamela McDonough's text is an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of Vedic astrology. It is written is a clear and concise manner to provide a good foundation for new students. I would highly recommend her book to anyone wishing to explore the ancient astrology of India and its application to the modern Western world." --Dennis M. Harness, Ph.D., psychologist and astrologer, founder of Sedona Vedic Astrology Conferences

"This book bridges an extremely critical gap in the understanding of Jyotisha: the gap between the ancient encryptic words of the seers and the contemporary way of understanding subjects in the modern world. Pamela makes this rather difficult subject relevant and approachable. A must read and must have for every student of Vedic sciences."--Souvik Dutta, guru & founder, Ancient Indian Astrology Classes
