what is the name of the shastra for omens?
  • and the download pdf if possible... :) VEDAAAAAAAAA help!
  • I am also interested in this information and was thinking about it just recently.

    -Amara
  • Omens (nimitta) are described in several books. See articles on omens - I just posted a link in astrology thread.
  • I saw that article, but I remember hearing about a particular shastra book that is not there...
  • Two books were mentioned in the article on omens, "Prasna Marga" and "Brhat-samhita," both in English. Has anyone read these? Are they any good?

    I need to study Vedic omens in regard to my research on the third sex. I've heard that according to the Vedic science of omen-reading, seeing a courtesan or person of the third sex before leaving on a journey is a sign of good luck. On the other hand, seeing a courtesan or transvestite before a battle is a sign of defeat since these two were omens of peace and prosperity, not battle and bloodshed. I need a good book for reference to verify both of these omens and also to find more.

  • As per Shyamasundara P. they are core texts. However, the translation quality will be crucial. I recommend you to ask him directly.

Howdy, Stranger!
