Classical Books on Astrology – Availability

One of the readers of the website, Santosh Kulkarni, pointed me to this wonderful information on books on Vedic Astrology. One of his relatives, Shri Virupaksha Rao Kulkarni, who is a practicing astrologer, found out about Chowkambha Publications in Varanasi. Almost all of the classical texts on astrology are published by them. Some of these books are available in e-book format on

While I do not have contact information of the above publisher, Santosh shared the details of the distributors in Bangalore:

Good text books on astrology are hard to find and it is usually a struggle to get hold of them. I would like to thank both these gentlemen for their effort.
