Sarvarth Chintamani

Sarvarth Chintamani by J. N. Bhasin is the English translation and commentary on the classical Sanskrit masterpiece Sarvartha Chintamani by Venkatesa Sharma (Vyankatesh Sharma), one of the most authoritative texts in Parashari Predictive Astrology. Considered among the finest classical works after Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Brihat Jataka, the book provides a systematic treatment of every house in the horoscope, explaining how predictions should be made by examining the house (Bhava), its lord (Bhavesh), and its significator (Karaka) together. This practical approach has made the text one of the most widely studied references in Vedic astrology.

The book is organized into 17 chapters, covering the twelve houses, Raja Yogas, longevity, Arishta and Arishtabhanga, and the predictive effects of Mahadashas and Antardashas of all nine planets. It explains the results related to wealth, family, education, property, profession, marriage, children, health, spirituality, foreign travel, gains, losses, and longevity, supported by classical Sanskrit verses and J. N. Bhasin’s lucid commentary. The translation preserves the original text while making it accessible to modern readers, making it an indispensable reference for students and practicing astrologers seeking to master classical horoscope interpretation.
