New Book Explores Hindu Astrology in Depth
A newly reissued book, “Hindu Astrology: Myths, Symbols, and Realities,” offers an in-depth analysis of the origins, development, and functioning of astrology, while also questioning the roles of the supernatural and synchronicity. Authored by Oxford mathematician Anthony Philip Stone, the book targets both astrologers and general readers interested in the subject.
Stone, who has taught at various Indian universities, delves into diverse models of astrology, providing a comprehensive examination that spans myths, symbols, and practical realities. His work reflects a deep intrigue with the ancient practice and its relevance in contemporary times.
Originally published in 1981 in hardback, “Hindu Astrology: Myths, Symbols, and Realities” has been out of print for decades. The book is now being republished in paperback by Pippa Rann Books & Media and will be distributed in India by Penguin Random House.
This reissue brings Stone’s insights back into the spotlight, offering a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Hindu astrology.
