Bhavartha Ratnakara
By Prof B.Suryanarayana Rao
The Bhavartha Ratnakara, by Prof. B. Suryanarayana Rao, a great astrologer and grandfather of the legendary Dr.B.V.Raman, is a wonderful summary of the bhava analysis for various lagnas and also gives many important planetary combinations for various aspects of life.
