Daivajna Neelkantha first time introduced the concept of progressed horoscope called the Varshaphala or the annual chart based on sound astrological principles. The concept of Sahamas and the unique system of Dasas in a so smaller period of a year are some of the specific contributions of the Acharya. While the natal astrology gives us a genera outline of life of the native, the Varshaphala gives details of the events that may occur during a year. Tajik Neelkanthi integrates the Arabic thought with the Vedic Astrological Principles. This has proved to be a authoritative treatise on horary astrology. The system of aspects in the form of 16 well known yogas is an added service to horary astrology. The work, in fact is not only a classic of the high order but also a script in its own right. We needed not only its translation in English language but also a comprehensive commentary by a competent scholar, useful to the neophytes as well as to the accomplished astrologers.
