Description:

This comprehensive treatise on Ayurveda and Astrology, titled Veerasimhaavalokaha, was originally written in Sanskrit by the renowned King Veerasimha, a member of the Thomara dynasty of Rajputs from Gwalior, around the year 1383 AD. The book offers profound insights into the links between planetary combinations and specific diseases, providing detailed information about their causes, symptoms, and cures.

The author's purpose was to help humanity by offering guidance on maintaining both bodily and mental health, empowering individuals to follow their dharma, which is considered one of the most important Purushaartha (life goals). The treatise is particularly useful for those in the fields of Ayurveda and Hindu Astrology as it integrates these two ancient systems, providing practical and spiritual solutions.

The English translation is based on the Malayalam version of the text and aims to make this invaluable resource available to a broader audience, particularly students and practitioners of Ayurveda. As Ayurveda continues to gain global recognition as an alternative system of medicine, this book is an essential reference for researchers and practitioners in the field. The treatise also delves into measures prescribed for addressing ill-placed planets, offering guidance on mantras, homas, austerities like Krishchra Chaandraayana Vritha, and specific gifts to be made for propitiation.
