Devinder Kumar Dhingra

Taming the Untamed Devinder Kumar Dhingra

A must-read for astrologers and calendar enthusiasts, the book resolves all the ambiguities associated with the ayanamsha puzzle and provides concrete solution. Readers will learn about the basic revolution, the concept of nirayana in detail and how the figure of 4320K years yuga is valid. It could also be of interest to some astronomers who are interested in the ancient stuff. It's also the first book in the world to explain how adhik maas (the intercalary month) was decided in the Vedic era. The book has an exclusive chapter on 'Indian Calendar' in which the various elements of the Indian calendar are discussed in detail including why tropical rashi ingress can't be used for Chaitra etc. months. The chapter also has addressed whether the festivals need reform or not as well as the Author's take on key festivals and rituals. My earlier book "The Unanswered" resolved many of the ambiguities and this book "Taming the Untamed" completes the same by settling everything else.
