Cards Review : The Sacred Indian Tarot

Indian Tarot

About a month back (Dec 2013) I found “The Sacred Indian Tarot” authored by “Kiran Rai”  in Landmark Book Store and I knew I had to buy it immediately. I have always wanted to create an Indian version of Tarot Cards depicting Indian God and Goddesses and Vedic mantra’s for some time now. I know what I want to have for each Major Arcana card but have not found a painter to paint them for me yet.

The most amazing thing was that it had a tag line saying “Symbols, Images and Icons From Indian Philosophy” … Wooh definitely the author and I were thinking on the similar frequencies.

All the cards have 4 “Tree of Life ” pictures as background. This “Tree of Life” is none other than Banyan Tree or Peepal Tree. The Buddha got his illumination meditating under Bodhi Tree. The tree is visually a diagram of ten interconnected spheres, connected by 22 lines which represents the 22 levels of Human Soul’s Evolution. These tree are commonly found in every temple in India and considered sacred.

It has 22 Major Arcana Cards only and for each card it has an Indian Name , the Indian symbolic image , meaning and significance of the symbols in India traditions.

One of my favourite card is ” Lovers ” card, It depicts “Radha and Krishna” who are symbols of eternal love in Hindu Mythology. I am sure every young love bird in India has prayed Lord Krishna for meeting their beloved soul.

Another favourite of mine is “Strength” usually depicted in “Rider Waite” cards as taming loin but in India I guess we relate to “Elephant” for pure strength. Strength which protects yourself and your family against harm , not revengeful at all.

Also it has stories from famous Hindu mythology like “Mahabharata” and “Ramayana.”

I would have picked different symbols for some cards. Like for Magician I would have picked up  “Maya” Judgement” I would have picked ” Shani” and so forth.

It’s a good deck for doing “Chakra Readings” . Author has introduced a new spread for “Karmic Reading”. I must thank Kiran for creating and sharing it with world. I could relate to these two spreads more after practising “Reiki Healing” and “Past Life Regression Therapy“ respectively.

I would be sharing about these two spreads and my interpretations of it in my next post . I used them recently for readings for one of my client and I could find her core issue very well.

    You should try bid your way.

    Bid your way is an online psychic reading auction website.

    At bid your way they don’t charge their psychics any seller fees,, no auction setup fees or final price fees.

    By bid your way not charging their psychics any fees, psychics can give the best deals on psychic readings so buyers don’t have to pay as much money to get a real good psychic reading.

    Psychics on bid your way can accept payments anyway they choose too, PayPal, Moneybookers, and 2chechout just to name a few out of many payment gateways buyers and sellers can use for free.

    You can even accept offline payments if you like and also can post website links sending buyers to other market places you are selling psychic readings on or you own website.

      Hi Sunit,
      Sorry for delay in reply, somehow missed.
      Crystals are of different kinds. Pure precious stones like emerald or sapphire should be worn based on your stars in horoscope. Semi precious or crystal rocks can be used based on there healing qualities, like rose quarts for relationships, Lapiz Lazuli for protection etc. For more information please email me. Thanks.

      Surely I can help you.
      Keeping Decks :One should keep Tarot wrapped in Tarot Cloth or any other cloth in sacred area, near home’s shrine. Ensure no one else touches as cards are sensitive to energy. If possible keep crystal on top of the wrapped deck.

      Using a fresh Deck : Each Tarot deck comes with its own ritual generally mentioned in the book along with the deck. Generic cleansing with incense sticks, crystals should be performed to get rid of any other energy it might have picked up on the way. Basically ensure you establish a connection with the deck which can take days.

    Thanks a lot Kiren Rai for finding time to acknowledge my article about your beautiful cards. I do use them and find them helpful to do Karmic Spread Reading which is very unique. Thanks for creating wonderful cards. I have recently seen another deck with same name on facebook and claim to be first Indian Tarot Deck. Weird 🙂 Stay connected!

    Thank you Shubhra , im glad you liked the deck of cards , Considering that India has such a rich tradition of divination. Yes I think an Indian deck of Tarot cards was far over due. . I have in my collection around fifty 50 tarot books, from all over the world , my most treasured ones being a Chinese tarot deck with the most amazing artwork, an Egyptian book of tarots, the rare Garuda cards from Indonesia and others such quaint decks.

    , I was indeed surprised that there were none from India and so I decided to put together all my sensibilities and create the first ever Indian book of tarots cards. The process took me over a year and I must admit that the toughest part of the book was creating the correct Indian images to represent the tarot archetypes/ arcanas. The structure of the major arcana’s in the book remains the same, however the figures used to represent them are taken from Indian icons, symbols and rituals, giving the subject an entirely eastern understanding.

    I am happy to share this book with all of you and for the appreciation I have got from every part of the globe
