SAILENT FEATURES OF LAL KITAB

Lal Kitab is a rare book of astrology written in Urdu language in the nineteenth century. At that time Urdu Language was a compulsory subject in the educational institutions and also was the language of the court in north-west india. In this book we find remedies for every planet, which gives bad effects in the horoscope of the native. The opening lines in this great book:-

                                                  बीमारी का बगैर दवाई भी इलाज है
                                                      मगर मौत का कोई ईलाज नहीं।
                                                         दुनयावी हिसाब किताब है
                                                         कोई दावा-ए-खुदाई नहीं।।

Means that disease is curable, if not by medicines, then by the astrological remedies given in the Lal Kitab but death is inevitable; It is the worldly account, which does not claim Godhood.

 In this context to comprehend the meaning and scope of astrology, we may quote the principal of astrology constantly repeated by Gayatri the greatest exponent of Hindu astrology in modern times:-

                                             फलानि  ग्रहचारेण सूचयन्ति मनीषिणः |
                                              को वक्ता तार्तम्यस्य तमेकं वेधसं विना | |

The above shloka states that:-

                                      Those who know astrology can only indicate
                                          in a way what will take place in future.
                                          Who else, except the Creator Brahma,
                                   can say with certainty what will definitely happen.
