The book “Astrology-Concepts Explained” is a different publication from Classical Astrological Literature or the modern books, magazines or stray publications in various English and Regional languages.
The plethora of literature pertaining to Vedic Astrology is available in Prakrit, Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi, and various other regional languages . The impact of Western Astrology is also to be noticed in the modern publications.
With the advent of modern communication technologies, there has been a lot of exchange of information which has resulted in intermingling of terminology of various system and languages.
The teachers of astrology as well as the students sometimes find it difficult to decipher the exact context of various term being used by modern authors. For the sake brevity the authors lace their writing with such, but of course appropriate, technical terms, that can baffle a reader. Undoubtedly one cannot have an oceanic vocabulary of Astrology. The majority fumbles when faced with terms the meaning of which one should have remembered but does not.
Worst dilemma is the ignorance as to what section of which text book to turn to at that juncture and again without marring the flow of the text under study.
