This little book Sivasvarodya, herein presented for the first time, with an English Translation together with Roman version of the Sanskrit text, is an ancient Sanskrit Text of great importance and the only one extant which elucidates the Science of Predicting auspicious and inauspicious results based on the flow the breathing through one or the other nostril. It was initially revealed by Lord Siva to His Divine Consort Parvati with specific instructions to keep it a closely guarded secret, revealed only to those who deserved. And in keeping with this spirit the science really remained so guarded a secret as to become almost extinct today. However, its importance and utility would at once become evident to anyone as soon as he starts actions specified in it. Often the results start showing even within a week of its adoption. If one considers all the aspects of the Science, such as, the breathing nostril, reigning element, the planetary combinations and the signs of the zodiac, he can make scrupulously precise predictions about the success or failure in any walk of life and for any purpose, both for one's own self and for others.

Although practice of this science is now becoming extinct, yet stray persons of older generation still observe some of the conditions laid down by the science, although without, knowing precisely either about this book or its major details, mainly because of the secrecy maintained about it. The taboo is still not lifted from its free revelation, but I have taken courage to place it with an English translation, together with Roman version of the Sanskrit text, before a wider circle of Readers, quite in defiance of the Tradition, simply to enable scientists to design research and validate or nullify its generalizations. Personally, however, I can say with my own experience that many of its precepts, if practiced with faith, do give positive results even within a few days of its adoption.

As is the case with most of the Sanskrit works, this Text also is at places either obscure or very difficult. Therefore, a mere translation of it might not have been sufficient. Hence I have made my translation explanatory rather than literal. Besides, a comprehensive Introduction has been given in the beginning, which contains a detailed summary of the Science with an explanation of all the Technical Terms used in it. Going through this Introduction before reading the Text or its translation, would considerably help is the work in general and some of its obscurer passages in particular. If read with faith and dedication, I have firm belief that the work would prove beneficial in making the life prosperous and also help in the avoidance of many unforeseen adversities.
