Synopsis I have been the first in India to present the Tajaka system of astrology in English for the acceptance of the educated public in an easy and simple style.  This book is not a verbatim translation of any of the existing versions of the Tajaka system.  But it is essentially a product of my researches in the field of Tajaka, though mainly based on Neelakanta and to a lesser extent on Kesava.  The Tajaka system has a certain uniqueness as it enables one to forecast events of immediate importance.  Though not much in vogue in the South, Tajaka is of late gaining increasing adherents thanks to its own predictive importance.  The book has been thoroughly revised.  Having regard to my bumble experience extending over five decades, I have had to change my views not only in regard to the most important basis of the Tajaka, viz., the duration of the year but also certain other aspects of this system.  These have been elaborated at the appropriate places.
