A must-read for calendar enthusiasts at any level, it is the first book in the world that explains how adhik maas (the intercalary month) was decided in the Vedic era. The book discusses all the calendar issues and key constituents of Indian calendar before providing the concrete guidelines for resolving the calendar anomalies. Apart from addressing questions like ‘Can we use the tropical rashi ingress for Chaitra etc. months?’, sufficiently backed with academic and logical support, the book provides the Author's take on key festivals and rituals in the final chapter. In addition, two exclusive chapters on the relevant inputs from the author’s other two works ‘The Unanswered’ and ‘Taming the Untamed’ are included in the book to help readers find everything needed at one place.

A must-read for astrologers and intriguing for astronomers who wish to explore the ancient stuff, the book has the author’s complete research work on the subject. The new edition three is divided in two parts. The first, ‘Preliminary’ part, has all the relevant six chapters of the author’s research on the 27 degrees ayanamsha mentioned in the Surya Siddhanta that earlier used to be in the old editions of ‘The Unanswered part I’. The second, ‘Mains’ part, resolves all the ambiguities associated with the ayanamsha puzzle and provides concrete solutions. Readers will learn about the basic revolution, the concept of nirayana in detail and how the figure of 4320K years yuga is valid apart from other related discussions. Being first in the world, it reveals certain important findings such as "how controversial oscillating ayana of 27 degree as mentioned in Surya Siddhantha is valid even when compared to modern astronomy?" and why it is called ayanamsa and not vishuwamsa? Additionally, it resolves the issue of Surya Siddhantha's longer year length and explains how it is calculated.

Anyone associated with astrology at any level, both beginners and experts, can go for ‘The Unanswered’ to get the solutions to the controversial issues in the Indian astrology such as ayanamsa, vimshottary year length, bhava chart, true or mean, geocentric or topocentric etc. The main aim of the book is to explore the truth. Divided in two parts, the Part I in the new edition is devoted to ayanamsha. It discusses about various ayanamshas, whether we need to go for Surya Siddhanta ganita for astrology purposes and a brief on the author’s research work in the final chapter ‘Hitting the right ayanamsha’ so as to provide solution to the ayanamsha puzzle, once and for all. Part II is focused on resolving various other issues related to the Indian astrology circle such as vimshottary year length, bhava (house) system, sunrise time, true or mean nodes, true or apparent positions, choice of circle and geocentric or topocentric etc. All the topics in the book are well-researched so as to present the details with enough academic as well as logical support.
