    jain jyotish books

    8 months ago 247

    Here are some commonly‑used Jain Jyotish / Jain astronomy books you can look for:

    1. “Jain Jyotish” – Shankar Pandharinath Randive (Digambar)

    - Hindi, focused on presenting only Jain principles of time, planets, eclipses, etc. - Strongly warns Jains not to depend on non‑Jain astrological scriptures.

    1. “Jain Jyotish Sahitya” – Dr. Nemichandra Shastri

    - A survey of Jain astronomical / jyotish literature. - Good if you want to know what Jain acharyas and scholars have written on planets, time‑calculation, cosmology etc.

    1. “Jyotish Siddhant Sangraha” (Jain-related edition / collection)

    - A compilation‑type work used in Jain circles, mainly for principles of astronomy and time, not for blind predictions.

    1. “Narchandra Jain Jyotish”

    - Very popular in Gujarati‑speaking Jain community. - Used for tithis, choghadiya, muhurt etc. from a Jain viewpoint.

    1. “Jyotish Rahasya” – Kastursagar (Gujarati)

    - Another commonly used book in Jain families, mainly practical jyotish for daily use.

    A few important points from a Jain‑dharma perspective:

    • Traditional Jain jyotish is primarily ganit and jñān – calculation of time, tithi, nakshatra, eclipses, etc., and description of the Jain universe.
    • Jain karma‑siddhānt is primary. No book of jyotish can “cancel” karma; at most it can help you plan your vyavahār (worldly actions) more thoughtfully.
    • For śuddh Jain view, always keep main Jain scriptures and tattva‑granthas (like Samayasāra, Tattvārtha Sūtra, etc.) above any jyotish book.

    If you tell me your preferred language (Hindi / Gujarati / English), I can narrow this list further for you.
