Phaldeepika (Bhavartha Bodhini) – By Gopesh Kumar Ojha (Author) – MLBD Publications

Phaladeepika (Bhavartha Bodhini) is a treatise on Hindu astrology. It is one of the more significant works on Hindu astrology, along with Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra of Parashara, Brihat Jataka of Varahamihira, and Jataka Parijata of Vaidyanatha Dikshita.

It deals in a most comprehensive and authoritative manner with almost all astrological aspects of human life. It has equated a retrograde planet with an exalted planet in strength and effects even though it be in an inimical or its debilitation sign differing with Saravali which states that benefits are powerful when retrograde and cause Raja yoga (Hindu astrology) but malefic when retrograde do not confer favorable results.
