Astrology of Professions

About the Book This book is well structured, well illustrated and well explained. And it is a very timely, very helpful, very useful book. Need exists in the age in which we live all over the world, particularly in India, to guide young men and women in the choice of their educational and professional patterns. That this is done best through astrology, Hindu Jyotish, is the one fact which will get established in the course of few more years. Where an educational psychologist begins to meander through many possibilities and with some hit or miss successes and failures, the astrologer is on a more certain ground. I have guided so many students in India particularly in Delhi in the choice of their educational options. So many have benefited. It was for this reason that I got produced a research by students and published it in the Journal of Astrology. But there is a constant need for updating these researches to be of immense use for the large number of students seeking proper careers in India where the percentage of literacy has grown enormously and we have the largest pool of technocrats in the world. Col. Gour’s attempt in this book is the first major composite attempt by an astrologer to cover these aspects the path from education to career with a link between the two. Naturally, the career patterns that emerge out are of various types: • Professional education leading to specific profession only like that of a doctor. Engineer, chartered accountant etc. • Certified professions to enter which one has to have the prescribed educational qualification like that of a lawyer. But then there are many who have legal qualification but not practising as lawyers. • Bureaucratic careers do not depend on any specific education patterns but on specified education qualifications to open the door to competitive examination like the Indian Administrative Service. • And there are techno-bureaucratic profession in which a very specific qualification alone opens the opportunity to enter a service like of a member of the Indian engineering service. Col. Gour being aware of such complexities has neatly opened some lines of analysis which must lead a keen student on the further research. Such a good research of such rich composite nature as Col. Gour presents in this book gives you the lines along which future research should be done and should progress. About the Author It is my great privilege to write about Col. AK. Gour who is a senior faculty in Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, teaching Astrology to large number of senior students as well as researchers since long. His method and abilities teach is phenomenally of a very high order. While he is proficient in all branches of Astrology, his special forte is Profession’ in which he excels. he is an able and a popular teacher with a great style of teaching as also giving accurate prediction with great analytical skill. He has derived his abillities not only from deep study, knowledge and sound judgement but also from his great faith in religion and higher values of life. Col Gour has done a great service to the student community by a—c a keen interest in not teaching astrology but in upliftment of their moral values by inculcating right behaviour and following prescribed religious traditions. This moral fiber and faith in Cod has helped him make him a great astrologer. There are very few like him who are totally cated to higher values that Astrology represents. What makes him still greater is the fact that inspite of his profound ability as a sound astrologer it kept himself aloof from following run of the mill method of taking financial advantage of it and making astrology commercial and cheap. I am sure that this present book, ‘Astrology of Professions’ will be a valuable and masterly contribution to the subject and would be as popular and successful as his earlier books had been.
