In the 18th century in the Punjab region of Pakistan, Pandit Giridhari Lal Ji Sharma was doing government job under the British administration. During that time some copper scripts written in Urdu and Persian language were dug out from a Lahore construction site.
Pandit Giridhari Lal Sharma was a scholar astrologer and expertise linguist of that time, so the copper scripts were taken to him. For many years Pandit Ji studied those scripts and was able to come in a conclusion that the scripts were actually related to astrology and is from Lal Kitab. Another school says that the Lal Kitab was actually the work of Pt Roopchand Ji Joshi who was a cousin of Pt Girdhar Lal Ji Sharma and that Pt Sharma was only the publisher of the book. Whichever is the authentic version, it remains true that Lal Kitab is a wonderful treatise of astrology that has some very powerful remedial measures. In Mughal period especially during the reign of Akbar and Dara Shikoh, many researches had been done on Indian literature, Vedas, Upanishad, philosophical and astrological texts. Lal Kitab came into existence from those researches. Lal Kitab gives more importance to predictive astrology than mathematical astrology. It has domestic usefulness that has been appreciated in Arab countries. Soon Lal Kitab emerged as a popular astrological book because of simple ‘totkas’ that proved to be very efficient for common people. The totkas can be performed simply by a native without any kind of assistance. However there are many superstitions regarding Lal Kitab in our society. Some people say that Lal Kitab was penned down after a voice was heard from the sky; another group says that Arab scholars wrote this astrological book. But truth is that during the Mughal period this astrological discipline traveled to Arab countries from India. There astrologers manipulate the components of Lal Kitab as per their conveniences.
RedBook which also known by Lal Kitab is originally published in urdu language, enshrines such effective astrological principles and the science of palmistry too has been explained in such an exquisite manner that each of the 42 divisions of the human brain have been related to the different houses of a manís birth chart in such a scientific manner that the sketch of the human brain reflects accurately on the lines of the palm. On the basis of these lines of the palm one can draw the actual horoscope of an individual and can do the placement of planets in various houses of the birth chart. The date of birth and the birth ascendant can be found out by reading the lines and mounts of the palm, which means that an individualize accurate birth chart can be drawn by seeing the lines of his palm. Similarly, by studying the different aspects of a manís residential house his birth chart can be accurately prepared on the basis of the sutras explained in the RedBook { Lal Kitab }.
In addition to the above, Lal Kitab has announced unique remedial measures to solve chronic and critical human problems in day to day life.These measures do not require the practice of ordeals, yagnas, havans and other complicated and expensive rituals, which prove more troublesome for persons who are already in trouble because of the evil effects of certain planets. These measures are again different from Yantras, Mantras and Tantras, which give various adverse effects if not followed rigorously in all their minute details. The measures suggested in Lal Kitab are electrically effective in solving all kinds of human troubles and tensions, without inflicting harm on anybody i.e. these remedies are completely self defensive against the evils created by the planets without causing injury in anyway to anyone concerned.
The first part of this great treatise contains the principles and Sutras for interpretation of horoscope, termed as "Vyakaran". The birth chart of an individual is prepared like the traditional Parashar principles, but the only important difference is that the Rashis are not considered or taken into account for predictive astrology and, therefore, the digits indicating the Rashis in a traditional birth chart are scrapped. Secondly, for predictive purposes the ascendant is treated as the first house and it is regarded as the house of the first Rashi, i.e., Aries and counting progressively in a sequence upto the 12th house being that of Pisces.
