Astrology and vaastu picks help vendors make fortune at Book Fair

Allahabad: Books on Jyotish (Astrology) and Vaastu have
taken centrestage at the ongoing National Book Fair
besides conventional reading material. Priced between Rs
10 and Rs 80, the books are finding many takers among all
sections of the visitors.

Books like 'Kaise Banayein Sukhi Sansar' and 'Sukhi
Jeevan Ke Saral Upay' by local writers and publishers are
attracting those interested in the subjects of astrology
and vaastu shastra, opined a bookseller.

Stating that yearning among book readers to study the
effect of planetary position has given rise to demand for
these books written in common man's language, said
publisher and bookseller Rakesh Tiwari. "It seems we are
witnessing resurgence of the period when Homeopathic
treatment had become a household name and everyone wanted
to learn methods of treatment through books written in
simple language and subsequently apply the knowledge.
Jyotish and vaastu too have become a fad and reading
about them is a healthy pastime for many and after
gaining insight into the subject they want to apply the
principles, ideas and remedies in their daily life."

On the other hand, demand for classics has not reduced
because writers like Munshi Pem Chand, Dharamvir Bharti,
Chatursen Shastri, Agyeya are still popular and their
work is much sought after. Among the young, Chetan Bhagat
has emerged as the new icon of modern writing.

A visitor at the fair, Divya Ganesh, said books on any
subject are always welcome but if given a to choice he
would definitely prefer old classics for the sheer
element of pathos and drama depicted in them.

Writer, astrologer and Vaastu expert Ashutosh Varshney
said, "Since it is not possible for everyone to seek
answers on horoscope and vaastu, I have tried to present
both subjects in books written in a simple style and
language and at the same time kept them affordable." He
added that apart from books he was also planning to
organise a jyotish and vaastu camp for visitors in which
experts would provide necessary guidance and support.

The Times of India group has put up an impressive stall
where books and magazines published by the group are up
for display and sale. These include books for women and
on celluloid, current affairs and entertainment.
