SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TRANSIT OF SATURN - IKN RAO15 Listopad 2011, 11:07 AMOnce again, in a short period we are going to witness far reaching effects of Saturn-Jupiter opposition this time from Mesha and Tula, as Saturn transits into Tula on 15 November. In my earlier piece India’s Ineffectual Fight Against Corruption of 13 June 2011, I had written in clearest terms.

“The full vehemence of Saturn in the sixth house will become fully visible in this sub period of Saturn. It is clearly a year of chaotic thinking and some unimaginable tragedy for the party.”

Saturn’s transit now in the eighth house will prove one of some gain in one direction as in two north Indian states where elections are due, in Punjab and Uttarakhand etc. it may even capture power and in UP it may be in a position for power sharing.

As both Saturn and Jupiter aspect the tenth house of this party, it should show significant changes, one in improving its position in some forthcoming elections and a major structural change.

The tragedy I had hinted at on 13 June came to be known to us on 4 August when the nation came to know of the ailment of Sonia Gandhi. This transit of Saturn clearly now shows a major change, with possibly Rahul Gandhi succeed-ing her as party president. And some big tragedy hinted at may be in the early months of 2012, may be in February.Greaterworry is about Iran whose correct horoscope is doubtful, I am told by a friend in Iran as Ayotollah had come into power on 1 Feb 1979 earlier than the time given by Campion. Falling back on the Hindu New Year horoscope, series of internal disturbances, may be inspired from outside, and even an attack on its nuclear weapon is a distinct possibility now.

The Anna Hazare movement will continue and now with both Baba Ramdeo and Sri Sri Ravishankar also jumping into it, it can be wider. But the prevailing confusion will get thickened thick even as the estimate of the losses from 2G scandal have been questioned byhis own retired deputy R.P.Singh and the cash for votes cases taking bizaree turn with even Radha Raman Singh being involved in it. In west Asia, the revolutions will continue and takeviolent turn with Syria facing the fury of it most.

More about these later.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TRANSIT OF SATURN - IIKN RAO18 Listopad 2011, 6:05 AM

Saturn in the seventh house of Pakistan’s horoscope and Jupiter in the lagna in transit now, clearly shows, particularly in the mahadasha of Venus, the seventh lord, a very significant change in the top level administrative set up of Pakistan, affecting President Zardari and even the possible change in its foreign policy. That can be seen in detail later.

US CHINA COLD WAROf immediate concern to the world is the growing US-China tensions, with India also gettinginvolved in the South Vietnamese seas in its project for the exploration of oil. Claiming it to be their ancient territory, not recognised now in the present international context and the international law governing and defining territorial waters, Chinese aggressive postures and US policy of the encirclement of China with recently strengthened military ties with Australia (which fought every war with USA in the twentieth and twenty first century), world seems to be creeping to something similar to the encirclement of USSR in the post

second world days. In a way, we are back to the cold war days with China replacing USSR, and America in spite of its economic tensions domestically, not giving up its military ambition to remain dominant in the world.

Saturn-Moon 27-08-2001, Saturn-Mars 28-03-2013, Saturn-Rahu 07-05-2014

China will be aggressive in its present mahadasha of Saturn in the eighth house showing its secret and open preparation to meet these challenges, particularly in the antardashas of Moon , the seventh lord and Mars in the seventh house and exalted in the navamsha. Saturn now in Tula also aspects the seventh house of China. With Saturn Jupiter affecting

the tenth house of China, thereis going to be a very significant change in the top ranks of Chinese administration.

The strategic geographical isolation of USA has always given it an enviable advantage in both world wars but in the era of long range nuclear missiles, it more vulnerable now than ever before. It is well known that China has its nuclear missiles pointing towards USA to destroy its four major cities. Recently, theformer US president Bush has said that the enemy number of China is USA and number two India.

In both world wars, USA had joined it later abandoning its policy of Monroe Doctrine and after the second world war, it has buried that doctrine fathoms deep in the seas of theworld. In every decade since the end of the cold war, USA has been involved in more

than two or three wars which it started or provoked. CIA, described as world’s biggest terrorist by many, has spread its tentacles all over the world more dangerously in the post cold war world.

USA will be particularly aggressive now as the mahadasha of Mars has started, and Mars is aspecting both the sixth lord, Saturn and the sixth house of territorial defence and attack. Both from the lagna, Simha, and Moon in Kumbha, the present transit of Saturn Jupiter can also help USA overcome partly, the trauma of its economic depression through concerted measures and fresh legislation.

ISRAELFor its survival, surrounded as it is with unfriendly Muslim countries, witnessing a revival of

Islamic fundamentalism in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Israel now finds its own existence threatened by the menace of a nuclear Iran. And Iran has never made a secret of its intention to wipe out Israel from the face of the world. In its present dasha of Moon conjoined with the sixth lord Saturn, it can plan anytime now to launch an attack on Iran without waiting for world cooperation or opinion . There is IAEA report that Iran is developing nuclear weapons.

Though in this period with Saturn Jupiter occupying the one seven axis of the Syrian horoscope and Assad is fighting for his survival and final exit now, Israel is not likely to getany respite.

In the Wikileaks, it was revealed that Saudi Arabia, a Sunny fundamentalism nation, wantedUSA to act against Shia Iran quickly. It is now that both USA and Israel will act quickly and involve the west Asian nations in war. As it, after quitting Iraq, USA has still stationed its troops around Iraq to prevent Iran influencing Iraq through its vast Shia population.

In short, this Saturn Jupiter axis will provoke and support some fears raised by the dire predictions of the Mayan calendar. Added to that is worry about the safety of the nuclear arsenal of Pakistan.

It means that world’s biggest policeman, US A will have no respite which ofcourse never wanted after the end of the second world war.

LOVE ADDICTION : DOPAMINEKN RAO25 Květen 2012, 8:21 PMI was sitting with Praveen Agarwal , who had come from Bombay, when the parents of the girl whose horoscope is given here, but whose identity is not disclosed, came to meet me after some years without any previous appointment. Being family friends, such liberties are permitted by me and taken by them.

Their problem discussed, their gratitude expressed, their decency exhibited which is rare these days, they left. Praveen asked me to discuss how I had advised them about the love addiction of their daughter seven years ago and how their daughter had not fallen into a badtrap and a wrong decision. Are these rare stories, I wonder, these days?

Television channels were giving extensive coverage to the painfully sensitive case of Arushi Talwar case and the CBI accusing the parents of murdering her after , it is being said, after they had discovered their thirteen year daughter, in a compromising position with their servant, Hemraj. There is also the news that today (24 May) was the hottest day of May thisyear. A westerly disturbance and a storm and some rain will give us some relief in a couple of days is what can be expected now.

And we were discussing what is a very common problem--the love addiction of teenage girlsand boys, their insistence to marry their lover and the agony of parents. What do we call this--infatuation, a passion without any rational thinking, an emotional storm which becomes an addiction when sexual attraction is central ?

What then is love ? Is there anything like real Platonic love, an impersonal love, a sweet emotion in which physical possession is not at the core of the feeling ?

Call it what you like, but for some Indian parents it is a moment of crisis and for the girl, particularly the girl and some boys, there is a determination to achieve it--to marry the lover at any cost. How many crimes are being committed now these days, when such

infatuation is uncontrolled and parents are scolding their children ? The media covers some such incidents when they are reported, the astrologers know many when parents, trusting them, reveal details. And there is honour killing too.

In this case, the girl had come to me with her aunt, not trusting her parents. It was the period of Venus-Rahu. Venus is the seventh lord and Rahu and Mars were gripping the natal Moon. The aggression of Mars and the effect of Rahu is infatuation here, not a platonic love at all. She was in her early twenties with strong sex hormones.

Through other methods and dashas, it was clearer and confirmed.

It was the year 2001 when in transit, both Jupiter and Saturn in Vrisha, her seventh house and Rahu in the eight house, Mithuna and Mars in Dhanu aspecting it had made matters worse.

Her aunt had met me many times before. But the girl was seeing me for first time. I stated her problem without her having to tell me. She smiled and perhaps thought that I would predict it approvingly. I did just the opposite and told her to wait for two years and more, telling her that it was a wrong choice, a disastrous one. She was annoyed. She did not abuse me but her grimace had conveyed it all. It has happened to me many times before. I have to tolerate it for the sake of my friends who are anxious parents.

The girl went away and told her aunt loudly enough for me to hear that she would never again come to consult me. It has happened to me many time before.

Then her guru, spiritual guru, intervened. The girl found out herself that the boy was ill-educated, immoral vagabond wanting to become an actor in Bombay and except running after girls, he achieved nothing.

The girl was disillusioned.

The antardasha of Rahu was over and came Jupiter now. Jupiter is in Kanya with Venus the seventh aspecting the seventh house. Navamsha confirm it so well.

She asked her aunt to arrange ameeting with me, now

disillusioned, and wanting real guidanceunlike two years ago when she had lost her mental balance in the sub period of Rahu.

“You will have a good, orthodox marriage approved by your parents and lead a good married life”. I told her.

“When” she had asked me.

“Very soon, anytime”, I told her and few weeks after that the parents got a good MBA boy with a good salary and good family for her. She accepted it cheerfully and thanked me once.Coming with her husband another time she gave me some presents also.

Her parents reminded it of and thanked me again now when it was not necessary. Their daughter has two children and is well settled in a happy married life. A disaster was avoided, the parents said again.

After they left and after Praveen left, I asked myself in how many cases can such disastrous marriage be avoided ? The astrologer can only see the horoscope, the dasha pattern and advise. In some cases it gets prevented, in some cases the disaster takes place, the girls divorces, remarries and settles down in married life seriously. In some cases terrible crimes take place.

What is the role of an astrologer in all this ?

None at all. He sees the horoscope sees the dasha pattern and advises according to his owncapacity. Whatever is destined to happen, happens.

When ? Well we call it the Wheel of Time, the Bhagwan we call Kaal.

Appendix

I have given to many parents a report I had read. Here is an extract from it.

Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Love kick as good as cocaine, London, Jan. 12: Falling in love can give you the same sort of kick as taking a drug like cocaine — and is justas addictive, scientists say.

....when people are smitten the brain releases the drug dopamine. It gives the same high aswould be created by cocaine or Speed. “Attraction and lust really is like a drug. It leaves you just wanting more,’’ . However like the drugs, the first feeling of love wears off after a while.

“Scientific research reveals the first flush of love lasts only between three and seven years.”

WATCH HIM RISE: PRANAB MUKHERJIKN Rao15 Červen 2012, 4:58 PM

15 Jun, 2012 , 11.24AM ISTPresidential poll 2012

The UPA has officially announced Pranab Mukherjee as their presidentialcandidate. Congress president Sonia Gandhi made the announcement today. Times

of India.

The mahadasha of Saturn is generally the best for politicians in a democracy if it owns the lagna, seventh or the tenth house and is involved in conjunction with the lagna, fourth, tenth , eleventh house and/or also aspects the tenth house or the tenth lord or the fourth house and the fourth lord or is exalted as it was in the case of Indira Gandhi , George Bush the former president of USA, his father H.W.Bush, Chandersekhar, a former Indian prime minister even Amitabh Bachchan the actor, Deve Gowda former prime minister, Gulzari Lal Nanda and scores of others.

Years ago, when I was given this horoscope by him and was asked to keep it confidential, I wrote an article in the Star Teller of November 2004 WATCH HIM RISE without disclosing his name or any further details. That was the briefest article I ever wrote. There a story seemed to end, a hint given was forgotten. Then when the newspapers started talking abouthim being the favorite for the post of president of India in 2012, elections for which are to be held in the second week of July, I had to request the Star Teller editor to send me a copyof the article. I had concluded the article saying “As the year 2004 approaches the end, his luck should be stronger than ever before. (Written on 10 September 2004).

From 20 September 2011, his antardasha of Venus in the mahadasha of Saturn started---that enigmatic period in which , as the saying goes in Hindi, one becomes a raja from rank

or a rank from raja meaning becomes a beggar from the position a king or a king from the position of a beggar meaning rises very high or sinks.

It was the horoscope of Pranab Mukherji, the present finance minister, and the choice of the UPA II for the post of the president in the July 2012 election for that highest post. The date of his birth given in different websites as some date in December of that year is wrong.

The mention of his name for presidential election made me dig out his horoscope from my records. One noting there is that the marriage of his daughter was fixed for December 1987. More important, his wife (born in 1938), Smt. Geeta (Suvra) Mukherji is a singer of Rabindra Sangeet. I checked to see if shewould become the first lady after her husband becomes the president of India. The answer was positive. The date of marriage noted was 13 July 1957. Mr. Mukherji is the fourth child of his parents with two sisters and one brother elder to

him and three sisters younger. Mrs. Mukherji is the first child of her parents and has a younger brother.

As to the elections, I do not have the horoscopes of the other contestants in the race. From the newspaper reports and television discussions, there appears to be no doubt about his getting elected easily.

An astrological analysis may be only a formality in these circumstances but still a glance canbe had at the dasha and possibilities.

First at a glance: the transits Saturn in transit is on his tenth lord, Mars, in Kanya and Jupiter from Vrisha is aspecting it which is very favorable. And it is also the tenth house from his birth Moon in Kanya.

From his wife’s lagna (Dhanu) Saturn is in the tenth house aspected by Jupiter from Vrisha. Her antardasha is that of Sun in the tenth house. I am not revealing her horoscope.

Coming back to the horoscope of Mr.Mukherji, he is passing through the dasha of Saturn Venus in the eighth house with Mercury.

Venus as the fourth lord is the simhasana or throne and as the eleventh lord gain. In the eighth house of surprises which is what happened as his name became a sudden and surprising choice as the newspapers say.

Saturn in the eighth house generally disrupts a career and even when it gives a position in asurprising way, that career is brief or cut short as happened both in the cases of Gulzari Lal Nanda who was prime minister twice for a brief period, once after the death of Nehru and later after the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri, though he had long enough stint as a minister at the center. The career of FDR was cut short in his fourth term; though he had long three terms as the president of USA.

The elections will be fought in Saturn-Venus- Moon and the pratyantara dasha lord, Moon is in the sixth house in the lagna and the tenth house in the dashamansha.

In Chara dasha it will be Simha dasha from where AmK Mars’s aspects the eleventh house while Jupiter, the planet denoting the president generally in mundane astrology, aspects the tenth house (Jaimini aspect).

The antardasha is Kanya which has the Amatyakaraka and the pratyantara dasha will be Vrisha from where the fifth and tenth houses show dignity, the dignity of the first citizen of India.

There is a negative side to it also. His wife’s health does not seem to be good at all in this period. It seems to be deteriorating gradually and may be worse at the end of this year and next year. If seen more closely, the health of Mr. Mukherji itself may not be good in 2014. Will he complete the term?

At the moment, he seems to be winning the election very easily.

(15 June 2012 at 11/22 pm)

PRESIDENT PRANAB MUKHERJIKN RAO25 Červenec 2012, 5:46 PM

Two trips outside Delhi and outside India in the month of June gave me only three or four days after the second week to write any piece for the website and two pieces were written. After returning, adjusting the body clock and wishing to see the results of the presidential elections, I waited and then decided to write this piece. Pranab Mukherji has been sworn as president at 11/27 am today 25/7/2012. Work on this horoscope.

The reviews which appeared showed that I have wasted my time in telling some people thatwebsite birth details are not reliable. I have written about it many times. Here are two instances.

ATAL BEHARI VAJPAI - HOW MANY HOROSCOPES?In the year 2000 a biography of his came out in Hindi giving these birth details with Vrischika lagna and birth details as 25 Dec 1924. After that I revealed these all birth details which I had since 1996, as now it was not a secret anymore. I do not know why even now people argue about his year of birth being 1925 or 1926. See some websites.

SHRI ATAL BIHARI VAJPAYEE [BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY - LUCKNOW (UTTAR PRADESH) - Father's Name - Shri Krishna Bihari Vajpayee, Date of Birth - 25 December 1924 , Place of Birth -Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) , Marital Status – Unmarried, Educational Qualifications - M.A. (Political Science)

Atal Bihari Vajpayee (The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition 2008 Columbia University Press)- Atal Bihari Vajpayee , 1926-, Indian politician, prime minister of India (1996, 1998-2004).

Atal Bihari Vajpayee (Britannica Concise Encyclopedia): Atal Bihari Vajpayee (born Dec. 15, 1924, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India)

The Library of Congress Overseas Office: Atal Bihari Vajpayee, 1926-...Atal Bihari Vajpayee, born on December 25, 1926 in Bateshwar in Uttar Pradesh, is the Prime Minister Till he was the prime minister, even the website of the Indian parliament was showing his birth year differently and now it has been corrected.

Lal Bahadur Shastri Dr.B.V.Raman, Hardeo Sharmaji, Suryanarain Vyasji used his horoscope with 9th October as the date and so did Sri Iranganti Rangacharya recently. In the souvenir brought out on Shastriji’s death anniversary some years ago, Moon is shown in Kanya in the horoscope given, while on 2 October 1904 it will be in Mithuna.

Website data is undependableSome hurried comments show that readers do no read the article intelligently and some do not seem to know astrology well enough. See two instances : 1. Mars is in Virgo, a dual rashi. How Mars can aspect 11th house which is Sthira Rashi?2. Mars Amatyakaraka (in Kanya) aspects the eleventh house from Simha whose dasha is referred to.

Another comment was why the prediction was not made earlier. I have referred to my article of 2004 in which I had said WATCH HIM RISE. I have already said that it was an article published in the Star Teller of November 2004. The prediction was given eight years before. What was the reason ? Kanya dasha was starting from 2005 and here there is Amatyakaraka.

IN THE EARLIER PIECE I had written some personal details noted in my records after meeting both husband and

wife, Mr and Mrs Mukherji and done astrological reading and here are some wild guesses by some that the birth details are inaccurate!!

====================================

Years ago, when I was given this horoscope by him and was asked to keep it confidential, I wrote an article in the Star Teller of November 2004 WATCH HIM RISE without disclosing his name or any further details.

**************************************

The mention of his name for presidential election made me dig out his horoscope from my records. One noting there is that the marriage of his PRESIDENT PRANAB MUKHERJIdaughter was fixed for December 1987. More important, his wife (born in 1938), Smt. Geeta (Suvra) Mukherji is a singer of Rabindra Sangeet. I checked to see if she would become the first lady after her husband becomes the president of India. The answer was positive. The date of marriage noted was 13 July 1957. Mr. Mukherji is the fourth child of hisparents with two sisters and one brother elder to him and three sisters younger. Mrs. Mukherji is the first child of her parents and has a younger brother.

Now follow some well-known events:

1. In 1984 after the death of Indira Gandhi he, as the senior most member of the Congress Party having become a cabinet minister during the time of Indira Gandhi should have become prime minister. Giani Zail Singh invited Rajiv Gandhi.2. After the death of Rajiv Gandhi, he could not become prime minister again.3. In 2004, Sonia Gandhi preferred Manmohan Singh. Someone had then asked me if Pranab Mukherji would never rise higher, being a senior cabinet minister already. Higher hasto mean either becoming the prime minister or the president of India. I WROTE THE ARTICLE THEN AND SAID THAT HE WOULD RISE. THE PREDICTION WAS MADE IN 2004, AND IN 2012, I ONLY REFERRED TO IT. LET ME CLARIFY I WAS NOT MAKING A PREDICTIONAFTER SRI PRANAB’ NAME WAS ANNOUNCED FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. IT WAS MADE MUCH EARLIER.

In navamsha both AK and Amk and PK aspect each other mutually. The reason is obvious and the dasha was favorable.

CORRECTIONI had two horoscopes and the wrong one was posted in the earlier piece for which I am sorry.

The actual time noted in my records in my own handwriting is: 1 February 1935/ 17/23 MIRATI BIRBHUM DISTRICT LAGNA KARKA 14/11

I use horoscopes of celebrities, big and famous people very cautiously because of a very terrible experience I had with the birth details of Babu Jagjiwan Ram once. I use only those which are given to me by the person concerned or his son, daughter or wife or even husband in the case of female celebrity and am asked to keep it confidential for some time or years. After that only I use them, if necessary in my articles without betraying confidences. For example, I have not disclosed the horoscope of the retired president Smt.Pratibha Patil and have seen wrong horoscope of hers used in different places. So it was in the case of the late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat when he was contesting for the post ofthe president against Pratibha Patil, as the following letter will clarify.

From: knrao knrao@...comTo: rsrchanpa@...comSubject: I am waitingDate: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 23:57:10 ISTDr.Saheb,I am still waiting for your mail. Please also clarify if you had given to other astrologers the same birth details of Shri Bhairon Singh Sekhawat as you gave me, which was different from the one used in many newspapers.

Yours,K.N.Rao.

From: R. S. R. rsr@...comTo: knrao@....comSubject: predictionsDate: Tue, 02 Oct 2007 14:31:24 ISTDear Sir,Same DOB was given to other astrologers. Almost all predicted the victory. It was only you who clearly predicted no chances for his victory.

With Regards,..... KumariD\O Dr. R.S.R.

This was about the late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat and the correspondence with his doctor who is continuing as the doctor also of the present vice president seeking re-election, Shri Ansari.

Knowing the trickiness of politicians, I asked him whether the same birth details (that whichappeared in different journals and website were different) were given to all astrologers or not.

I know from my experience that politicians “oblige” astrologers by giving to different astrologers different birth details about the same individual.

In the case of Shri Pranab Mukherji I havealso mentioned some family details in the earlier piece on him.

Let me mention that I met Shri Mukherji and his wife twice personally more than two decades ago when I got this horoscope.

Significant and notable in the case of Shri Mukherji is that lagna was not changing if the birth place was different but the degrees would; Jaimini Karakas were not changing and so the Chara dasha of Kanya was appearing clearly to be the period of his rise and later, Simhafrom where Amatyakaraka aspects the eleventh house, still more important for his career.

People forget some elementary principles of interpretation. Saturn in the eighth house of politicians, as in the case of Shri Gulzari Lal Nanda, late Chandrasekhar, the late Indian prime and in the case of Shri Mukherji is mostly the case of opportunities denied and one rare opportunity becoming significant but not durable. There are other such combinations as can be in the horoscopes of Lal Bahadur Shastri, Charan Singh and Gordon Brown.

Karka lagna explains the missed chances of Shri Mukherji and the same eighth house is the cause of worry for his wife’s health, if you know about it.

In news is another important man to whom, on his correct horoscope, I have predicted success. Already on the website some wild guesses, like in the case of Shri Mukherji of his having been born on 11-12-1935 08-49-20 hrs. have been made.

Also remember that when horoscopes cast by astrologers is given to you and the birth time is mentioned without clarifying whether it is IST or LMT, verification of life events becomes necessary.

Do not use the horoscopes of India’s famous men, in politics or in the cinema world mainly unless fully assured by a trusted friend astrologer or the person himself and burn your fingers. Even the mother of Emperor Akbar misled people with the birth details of her world famous son, if you know and read history. English historians not knowing astrology arrived at a wrong date. If the horoscope of Akbar by Jyotik Rai in Akbar Nama was seen and the date calculated astronomically, the correct date would have been arrived at.

(25 JULY 2012 AT P.M.)

Saturn’s influence on the tenth house as in the case of Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, Indira Gandhi and others starts with ripples grows into gigantic waves, sweeps them into power and also causes their downfall. Modi has to have Saturn in the tenth house. But if such a Saturn is in the eight house it becomes a handicap as in the case of great Subhas Chandra Bose.

THE ART OF PREDICTION - THE PLAIN ASTROLOGICAL APPROACH 1KN RAO7 Květen 2008, 3:01 PMWhat we teach in the classes we run is a plain approach to predictions first based on the birth horoscope and mainly springing from the birth horoscope. The varga charts are referred to for confirmation not for the main prediction.

Use only a seven karaka scheme of Jaimini and use Chara dasha as I have shown repeatedly.

The chances of astrology getting perverted in these days of website astrology, television gibberish which passes for astrology and the greedy emphasis on shantis/ upayas or remedies is great. When I told this to some people who have not studied in the BVB they asked me to illustrate it and that is what I will do in this series.

Vimshottari dashaMercury-Jupiter-Rahu from 28 Jan 2008 to 31 May 2008CHARA DASHAVrisha- Dhanu- Makara from 13 April 2008 to 14 May 2008.

It is the horoscope of a woman journalist who have been getting astrological consultations from me for herself and her husband for some years now. She had to leave her job for some months to look after her child. She now wanted to get back to her journalistic life. She asked me sometime in March 2008 about it. In the Vimshottari dasha it was Mercury-Jupiter-Rahu from 28 Jan 2008 to 31 May 2008.

Mercury is aspecting the second house and the lord of the antardasha, Jupiter is in the eleventh house from Mercury. The pratyantara dasha lord Rahu is in the4/10 axis from Jupiter, second from Mercury.

Now see the dashamansha Mercury is in the tenth house while Jupiter is the tenth lord and Rahu too is in the tenth house. It is a good period for her to come back into her journalistic life.

In Jaimini’s Chara dasha it is Vrisha- Dhanu- Makara from 13 April 2008 to 14 May 2008. Vrisha has the amatyakaraka, Sun, from Dhanu the AMK aspects the eleventh house but as soon Makar pratyantara dasha would be reached, it would be aspecting the tenth house.

I asked her to try for a job right now and she should land a job before the end of May.

She rang me up to tell me that she had got a very good job in a weekly to be launched soon under the editorship of famous editor who till last month was editing a daily from Delhi. She was happy as the job would give her ample opportunity to look after her child and also get back into active journalism.

THE ART OF PREDICTION - THE PLAIN ASTROLOGICAL APPROACH 2KN RAO13 Květen 2008, 6:29 PMShe rang me up and asked me for an urgent consultation. Both in Shillong and Calcutta and later in Delhi I got horoscopes of people who were doubtful about their birth details, having lost their original horoscopes during their migration in 1947 from the riot torn areas of what now are Pakistan and Bangladesh. It was so in her case also. But the memory of someone inthe family helped her retrieve her birth details is what she told me.

In the case of women, most people in northern India rarely kept correct birth details those days when she was born. A woman was a “disposable commodity” who would enter her husband’s house and could be neglected unlike the boy, has been and continues to be the favoured child of the family. It is the view of many even now.

Was the horoscope correct?

Karakamsha lagna is Simha and Putrakaraka is Mercury with Jupiter showing pure inclination towards humanities, not science during her student days.

Before any prediction is given it becomes the primary consideration. In such cases, just notedown the birth details as are passed on and do not indulge in exercise of correcting it which can be done later.

The birth horoscope and the navamsha showed either a bad marriage or no marriage. Not married she said.

What had she studied is what I was interested in finding out myself without her telling me as that is invariably a good starting point of the verification of a horoscope.

Moon, an artistic planet, unafflicted in the eleventh house aspects the fifth house. The fifth lord, Mars is with Sun and Venus. Karakamsha lagna is Simha and Putrakaraka is Mercury with Jupiter showing pure inclination towards humanity in her studies.

What should the predominant influence of fifth house and its lord with artistic planets mean?Education in fine arts ? That was the question I asked.

She had done MA (music) she said.

Was it classical I asked because of the influence of Jupiter on the putrakaraka.

Yes, classical Hindustani music she said.

But does she do any business ? Yes she said, in clothes.

The dashamansha will work. I can proceed to give her some predictions on this horoscope without correcting her birth time.

THE ART OF PREDICTION - THE PLAIN ASTROLOGICAL APPROACH 3

KN RAO20 Květen 2008, 6:36 AMShe knows some astrology and had some doubt whether hers was Vrischika lagna or Tula. She was confused about the ayanamsha to be used that was another question.

When such a case comes up note the prominent features of the horoscope and the dasha and antardasha of three or four past years, see the dasha antardasha in Vimshottari and Chara dasha and ask some striking question.

The lagna, Vimshottari dasha and Jaimini karakas of people born at the same time will remain the same. To distinguish one from the other, divisional horoscopes need to be prepared. But as far as the person before

you is concerned, first verify whether this horoscope is fitting into his/her pattern of life.

In 2004, it was dasha of Jupiter Mercury. In Chara dasha it was the dasha of Vrisha and Kumbha. Atmakaraka is in Vrisha. It coincides with Jupiter-Mercury dasha in the eighth house. The antardasha starting from Kumbha is significant. Kumbha is eighth from Karakamsha in Karka. Then the antardasha of Makara and then of Dhanu do not seem to be happy period in her life.

Remember the warning I have given repeatedly given about the Dhanu dasha. Dhanu is alsosixth from Karakamsha and eighth from Atmakaraka-- dangerous in three ways. From 2003 Rahu and Saturn were transitting in Vrisha and Mithuna. All this appeared to be bleak.

Yes. She had a fatal disease in this period.

Medical astrology ? What could this be she asked me ? I said that I cannot say and do not believe in medical astrology as all the doctor students whom I asked to work on medical

astrology has been hundred percent failures. They only learnt from me from the period of onset of sickness and its outcome and even wrote articles or books. Their own contribution to medical astrology is a big zero. Then there are other non-medical astrologers reeling off wild “researches” on various diseases particularly diabetes and heart attack. All these are untested and unproven mostly wild and boastfully loud pieces paraded as researches.

She told me about the disease and she survived is what she told me. You can even try Dwisaptati Sama Dasha on which Manoj Pathak has done excellent and original research. It was Rahu-Mars both in the seventh house with heaviest affliction with the added aspect of Saturn. Then other events can be verified as they will fall in a pattern in a sequence.

That is chara dasha and the seven karaka scheme for you.

Ayanamsha lunatics She had some confusion about ayanamsha.Use only Lahiri ayanamsha and donot get lost in the lunacy of the claims of others about their ayanamsha which is unproven, untested and wild.

Remember government of India has settled this in 1956 and another meeting convened by the Human Resources Ministry had reapproved the Lahiri ayanamsha in March 1994 attended by Dr. Raman who had the mortification of seeing his ayanamsha being rejected bythe entire gathering of panchanga makers of India attending that meeting. It was a three day conference which I had to conduct on the insistence of Dr. Raman and Pandit Sukhdeo Chaturvedi.

Dr Raman never uttered a single word in all those three days in defence of his ayanamsha.

Then one day came a fellow with the claim that he had discoverd a true ayanamsha and thatLahiri was wrong. He had looked sane till he started talking nonsense. I asked him to convince a) a gathering of astrologers who make panchangas andb) the Human Resources Ministry which he has failed to do. Addressing a gathering of students after disturbing their classes is not the right approach to win a battle.

But how can a lunatic get convinced? But he pours his vituperation and shows his low upbringing. Like all lunatics he thinks that he is a genius and world is not listening to him.

A student had asked me once when I told about my encounters with “revolutionary ayanamsha propounders”, “ How many ayanamsha fanatics have you met ?’ My answer was at least five. Out of them the only to suffer financial loss was Dr.Raman but he did not abuseothers who rejected his ayanamsha like the upstarts who keep springing up once in a decade.

Dr. Raman created enormous difficulties for me when he prescribed his books based on his ayanamsha for the astrology course I had shaped and was running! This was a tricky and devious way of trying to keep alive his ayanamsha after his death. This was Raman’s fourth attempt in five years between 1989 and 1994.

If you are doing astrology seriously you must be prepared to meet these ayanamsha lunatics somewhere or the other sometime or the other.

I told this woman that her lagna was Vrischika and that she should use only Lahiri

ayanamsha. Just hear the rantings of the ayanamsha lunatics if you cannot avoid them and forget it.

KN RAO1 Červen 2008, 7:05 PM

She had come with her father to meet me and took some predictions. She was running the mahadasha of Rahu in the fourth house with the tenth lord Saturn. The antardasha was of Ketu in the tenth house. Time for career rise. The coming pratyantara dasha from March would be of Mars in the twelfth house.

In Chara dasha it would be Meena Kumbha Vrisha from February 2008. Amatyakaraka in thetwelfth house like Mars in the twelfth house in Vimshottari dasha is showing a foreign posting.

Now remember she had come with her father and she is a Hindu girl. She did not ask what she wanted to and I never told her. She has asked it now.

What is her question ?

Remember, Mars is also the seventh lord. She has someone in her life and she did not open out in the presence of her father. It is obvious. From Vrisha the darakaraka, Mars is also aspecting the seventh house.

Postscript: I put the question here about attraction towards someone outside her country of birth and also the person being outside her caste, a considerationwhich becomes important for Indians, particularly Hindus. She answered it thus.

THE ART OF PREDICTION - THE PLAIN ASTROLOGICAL APPROACH 6 - PRESTIGIOUS PROMOTION

KN RAO22 Říjen 2008, 6:20 PMTwo years ago he had asked me whether he would get a very prestigious promotion for which he was being considered. I told him that he would in spite of some obstacles and of course other factors like jealousy of his colleagues and the greed of the top man who mattered in the corrupt India of today.

He retired, joined a private service in the meantime but was still eligible for that promotion which was denied to him.

He cane again two days before the confidence motion of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and asked me if he could get it now when he seemed to be on the top of the panel prepared

for this most prestigious promotion which is equivalent to that of a High Court judge. I said nothing could deprive him of the post this time.

But there loomed the uncertainty of the future of the prime minister Manmohan Singh himself he said. I said that since the ouster of the UPA government did not take place before June as the leftists had a poor sense of timing, there was no chance of the fall of the government. Something like July 26 1993 could happen when P.V.Narasimha Rao managed it through corrupt methods.

That happened on the evening of 23 July 2008 when he UPA government survived through the staggering defections of fifteen voters and ten abstentions. Then Manmohan Singh got time and signed the file at the earliest and this friend of mine got the prestigious promotion and joined his post as early as Saturday 26th.

Lagna 14-56’ ,Sun 05-54’, Moon 01-04’, Mars(R) 21-05’, Mercury 11-44’, Jupiter(R) 04-11’, Venus 09-56’, Saturn(R) 25-39’, Rahu 04-51’, Ketu 04-51’

Karak- AK Saturn, AmK Mars, BK Mercury, MK Venus, PK Sun, GK Jupiter, DK Moon

He rang me up today and thanked me.

He is running the dasha of Saturn-Venus-Sun in Vimshottari dasha--Saturn is the tenth lord and Venus and Sun are in the tenth house.

In dashamansha Saturn is in tenth house in his own rashi and Venus is in lagna in his own rashi while Sun in the eleventh house shows that big elevation which has created heart burnin the hearts of his colleagues intriguing against him and the former political boss who wanted to promote his own man of his own region and caste.

In Chara dasha it is Simha (Leo) from where the atmakaraka and Amatyakaraka are in the eleventh house aspected by Darakaraka forming two rajayogas.

The Antardasha is Meena (Pisces) from, where all these rajayoga forming karakas are aspecting the tenth house.

The Pratyantara dasha is of Kumbha (Aquarius) from where these karakas aspect the eleventh house.

There is no need to beat about the bush and go into all complicated new fangled untested dashas on doubtful divisional charts.

LAIN PREDICTIONS: TWICE PUNISHED POLITICALLY

KN RAO20 Listopad 2008, 11:54 AMI have given some major predictions successfully when I saw dasha changingand the succeeding dasha proving unfortunate. The reverse of it too has helped me predict brilliant success. It is what I had seen in the case of Roger Federer, the great tennis player. The predictions became plain and simple and straight.

The reaction of Kush who has covered cricket all over some commonwealth countries and follow sports and astrology simultaneously as I always do, wrote to me a letter complimenting me.

FEDERERTuesday, 18 November, 2008From: "KUSH SINGH" <k@com>

To: "KN RAO" <knr@l.com>Cc: "kn_rao"Dear Rao SahebAfter your prediction about Federer on the website, I have followed his career even more closely and I have to say again that it's a remarkable prediction. I have seen that for some strange reason, Federer is mentally not half as strong as he used to be. His competitive spirit has been missing and it's clearly a mental thing as he is still a great player but for some reason, his mind seems to lack focus. It has to rank as a great prediction. I really feel that its a great prediction

RegardsKush

Here is another example.

He was not a politician till the age of fifty four. A highly successful life as a civil servant and a timely ambition to jump into politics, a timely astrological prediction pointing out not merely success but attainment of good political success with ministerial posts proved brilliant in his case.He was grateful to the astrologer till someone misled him and he met

someone with so called siddhis who,it seems, misled him, as a former vice president of India too was misled. Or was is predestined ?

He should have been a realist but he was not. Inordinate ambition at a wrong time which was wrong astrologically, led him into series of wrong decisions. Like so many Indian politicians, he too thought of ensuring the political future of his son, his misfortune, and took series of wrong steps. For sometime both he and his son succeeded till his enemies became active. For some clear reasons, I cannot reveal any other details about this person except saying that he was born in 1929. Four years ago he was expelled from a political party which had given him high posts and big assignments.

He changed into another party hoping that in view of his successful political career he wouldnot merely be welcome but would immediately be given high posts. His ambition became his misfortune.

Karka Dhanu from 14 June 2004 in Jaimini Chara dasha. From 10 March 2005 his antardasha of Mars in the mahadasha of Jupiter started. Soon he was to enter Jupiter Rahu and then a bad dasha chiddra as the dasha of Saturn was starting.

His Amatyakaraka Mercury is with Gnathikaraka Sun. When action was proposed in 2004 it was the antardasha of Dhanu where Saturn his putrakaraka is present. His son was responsible for his downfall. And Dhanu is the rashi of rise an fall.

When the antardasha of Tula was reached in 2007 it fell in the eighth house from his Atmakarka and Karakamsha in Meena. His Amatyakaraka falls in the eighth house from here. So effective is chara dasha and the seven karakarak scheme.

From then his misfortunes manifested. Some of the students discussed this horoscope in details in a seminar once. Headlong he had plunged into trouble and is heading towards political wilderness, the sunset of his career and of course......

(19 November 2008)2015 DECEMBER END SCORPION BITES OF SATURN

KN RAO31 Prosinec 2015, 4:21 PMThe year ending week, the last week of December, has generally been a week of celebrations and colorful shows in television channels of India, cheerful in tone and interesting in content. Uneasy seven last days of December 2015 causing agony showing more scorpion bites of Saturn in Vrischika is what we had to live with. Saturn in Vrischika is

on the natal Ketu of the Indian Independence horoscope afflicting the lagna and now Mars, after moving into Tula, is on the eighth lord Jupiter of thishoroscope also afflicting the lagna.

Now see what happened.

Open the television channels and you have either stories of scorpion bites of Saturn or Modi, or his speeches or Kejri and defamation cases against him or

members of his party who continue their hissing inspite of it all. Switch over to sports channels and you have replay of old matches. Rest are glamourous persons who do not interest me. Sometimes some preachers in religious channels do attract me. But the disgustin the month of December 2015 with news channels to which I am attracted, has been immense Why all this ? I will explain astrologically later except stating that ever since Kejri and his party rose, news channels, like the city of Delhi have been suffering from pollution and pain caused by scorpion bites of Saturn helped by Mars and to some extent Rahu.

1Kejri (1)Kejri as usual dominated throughout and appeared in news channels on some pretext or theother and went ahead appointing Gopal Subramanyam to head a commission which he cannot do constitutionally, it was said.” The Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952, clearly states that only state governments and Centre are allowed to order a commission of inquiry and Delhi, a Union Territory, can only do so in partnership with Centre.” As usual, the educated classes asked in private conversations whether Delhi had elected a right man to become its CM remembering his crazy act earlier reported thus:

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal threatens to disrupt Republic Day paradeBy Supriya Jha Tuesday, January 21, 2014 Zee Media BureauNew Delhi: Adamant on his stance, `anarchist` Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal warnedto disrupt the Republic Day celebrations in the capital, as the sit-in staged by the Aam Aadmi Party entered second day.

Threatening to hinder R-day parade, Kejriwal said that Rajpath on 26th January, will be thronged by lakhs of people, and not the tableau if his demands aren`t met.

"Republic Day does not mean people enjoying tableau at Rajpath... it means the rule of people," said Kejriwal raking up the issue of increasing cases of crimes against women in the capital.

"Doesn`t the parents` hearts beat restlessly, when their daughters leave for college," he said.

Speaking on the "anarchy" tag given to him by his detractors, Kejriwal said for some people anarchy means democracy.

So a major clash bound to reach courts of law for final settlement whether the Delhi government can appoint such a commission will engage our attention. If soon opposition parties meet and nominate Nitish Kumar as their prime ministerial candidate for 2019 elections the ambitions of Kejri will sink and it will be a damper for Rahul Gandhi.

Gadkari case: Then when Kejri withdrew his case against Gadkari after a spell in a jail, people knew him more as a pretender not a crusader.

The issue of the appointment of the commission has even given to Gopal Subramanyam a strange reputation.Wednesday, December 30, 2015DDCA probe or Nuremberg trial? Gopal Subramanium may well have asked for Interpol and an aircraft carrierBREAKING NEWSOfficers Delhi secretariat have decided to go on one day leave on 31 December against a decision of Kejri to suspend some officers which he is not authorized to do. This chief minister of Delhi has already opened three fronts against himself, one against the central government , the second against DDCA and now against officers of Delhi government underhim .

ASTROLOGICAL EXPLANATIONKejri is running Jupiter-Ketu-Mercury dasha now and Mercury is in Mrityubhaga.

2NITISH KUMAR2) Nitish Kumar known as a sane and good candidate for even the highest post of Indian prime minister suffered worst setback after reported murders in Bihar led to the cry of return of JUNGLE RAJ a tag generally associated with Lalu Prasad Yadav. Here is a report.

( PATNA DAILY)Nitish Worried over Rising Crime in Bihar; Summons DGP28 DECEMBER 2015

Astrological explanationThe correct horoscope, in any, of Nitish Kumar is not available. If the Mithuna lagna horoscope of his circulating is correct, transiting Saturn and Mars aspecting the eighth house explains it.

The support of Lalu Prasad Yadav to Nitish is the reason for such endless controversies because Lalu’s rule in Bihar was known and is referred to always a jungle raj. Return of RJD through Lalu pulling powerful wires from behind is bound to create a situation for Nitish, known as a development man, not the originator of jungle raj.

3Hat trick against Congress Party: Sonia,Nehru and Nirupam (See appendix)

It is the second time that Sonia had to suffer scorpion bite in this fortnight.

Astrological explanation3) Sonia: Saturn is transiting over her natal Ketu in Vrischika who dasha she is running now. It is Ketu Rahu Jupiter now and transiting Mars now is on her Jupiter the sixth lord.

4) Nehru is dead and one may see why and how it had to happen and his policies attacked.

5) Sanjay Nirupam: No horoscope is available. But in the past when he was in Shiva Sena he was in charge of party mouth piece in which highly critical pieces like the one now in the Con-greess Darshan has appeared against Sonia, the party president and Nehru creates some doubt his role as he is its editor.

6) Congress party (Meena lagna)In its present Jupiter-Mercury-Saturn period it had to face it all. Jupiter aspected by the sixth and eighth lord, Mercury the seventh lord of its public image and Saturn in the sixth house, it has to fight hard to save its image.After Mars moved into its eighth house in transit the bite is becoming unbearable.

4AJIT JOGI AND BYE POLL7) Ajit Jogi is in trouble (see appendix).

Astrological ExplanationAjit Jogi (Kumbha lagna) is running Moon Mercury Jupiter. Moon is with eighth lord Mercury the eighth lord in the second house and Jupiter is in the eighth house.

5The Year 2015 ends with news about UrineCOW URINE IN RAMDEV’S PRODUCTS ?8) Earlier JNU students agitated against Baba Ramdev being invited to the university and not comes this controversy.No horoscopes are available.Cow urine has been known from ancient times as a great curer of many diseases. In recent years it has been tested scientifically and even patent from USA for it obtained as it has been proven scientifically to have cured even cancer. But it is a banned product for Muslims “"Using products laced with human/animal urine is napaak and haram in Islam be it cosmetic product or life saving medicines. We try to mobilize the youngsters in Jumma namaaz to not use such products, but if need be, we shall spread more awareness through media and campaigns, especially for the youth for motivating them to stay at bay from such Patanjali products."

(The Times of India)Patanjali lashes out at fatwaShivani Azad | TNN | Dec 30, 2015On the other hand clearing his stand, Balakrishan has said that of 800 products of Patanjali only five products (godhan ark, kayakalp oil, panchagavya soap, phenyl and sanjivani vati) contain gau mutra, and that information is not concealed.Ramdeo’s excellent products have affected the business of multi nationals in India and it notunlikely that some of them are behind this propaganda.

On the other hand, camel urine which Muslims drink has been found to be dangerous by WHO as reported here .

Mers outbreak: Don't drink potentially fatal camel urine, WHO warns World Health Organisation has warned people to observe 'food hygiene practices' to prevent its spreadTom Brooks-Pollock Tuesday 9 June 2015The World Health Organisation has warned against drinking camel urine as it attempts to limit the latest outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers).Seven people in South Korea have died as a result of Mers in the latest outbreak, the largestsince the syndrome was first detected in the Saudi Arabia in 2012.Authorities in Seoul confirmed the seventh death, of a 68-year-old woman who had a pre¬existing heart condition, on Tuesday. There have been 95 infections and 2,500 people are currently in quarantine in South Korea.

The WHO guidance was issued in response to the infection of a 75-year-old man thousands of miles to the west, in Oman, last week. Mers, caused by a new strain of coronavirus, can

affect people and animals, and one theory is that the syndrome started in animals before making the jump to humans.

Mers has been detected in camels, and humans have contracted Mers after coming into contact with camels. However, doctors are still not sure how how humans become infected.

The man, who was said to be in a stable condition on a hospital isolation ward after testing positive for Mers on 29 May, was reported by WHO to own "a barn with camels and young calves, and [have] frequent contact with them". Mohammad, the founder of Islam drank camel’ urine and was cured it is said. What would have he said if he was told about the WHOreport ?

Ram Janma BhoomiBesides, the arrival of bricks in Ayodhya adds to this communal tension which will be

uncontrollable in the Hindu New Year starting from 7 April 2016. The year 2015is ending with stories of pain likely to take ominous proportions in the coming year 2016.

As only three hours are left for 2015 to be over comes the news of the beginning of a rift in the artificial coalition of Bihar. Bihar will be in news in 2016 both for the incidents of jungle raj as well as the blame game between the Lalu controlled RJD and JD(U) who Nitish Kumar is the chief minister.

The Times of IndiaINDIA'Nitish's job to check crime': RJD, JD(U) clash over law and order in BiharPTI | Dec 31, 2015, 06.34 PM ISTPATNA: Close on the heels of RJD chief Lalu Prasad's apparent snub to Bihar chiefminister Nitish Kumar over deterioration in the law and order situation, senior party leader Raghubansh Prasad Singh onThursday expressed concern over the risein crime and asked Kumar to check the slide. "Sensational murders of engineers in Bihar recently have proved that law and order is not good in the state," Singhsaid.Expressing concern over spurt in crime, Singh, who is vice-president of the RJD, said it was the responsibility of the state government to maintain law and order.

In a comment which may not go down well with ally JD(U), Singh said, "JD(U) people are in the habit of hearing 'jay kaar' (hailing words) which they should end and take strong measures to rein in crime causing disturbance to people."

The rift in BJPAs the year is ending, the rift in BJP which not showing openly is now out in the open.

Interestingly if the Vimshottari dasha is calculated upto the level of Prana dasha on 31 Dec 2015 when this action is being taken, for the Mithuna lagna horoscope, the dasha is SUN SATURN JUPITER SATURN AND MARS the sixth lord of fights in this third house.

The Times of IndiaINDIABJP slaps show cause notice on suspended MP KirtiAzadPTI | Dec 31, 2015, 09.00 PM ISTNEW DELHI: BJP today slapped a show-cause notice on its suspended MP Kirti Azad, asking him to explain within 10 days why he should not be expelled from the party for "indiscipline"and "anti-party" activities.

Darbhanga (Bihar) MP said he was "ready" with his reply and will send it to the party headquarters tomorrow. Party leader Subramanian Swamy, who had earlier questioned his suspension, has "vetted" his reply, they said. Coming events are only casting their shadows before.

Look at the horoscope which will be discussed with predictions in the next piece

( 31 December 2015 midnight) SATURN'S SCORPION BITE 2015-16

KN RAO27 Prosinec 2015, 7:00 PMThe story of Shani (Saturn) the great tapasvi , his head down, not even looking at the new born baby (Ganesha) of Goddess Parvati in one of the Puranas is an interesting story. And when he did see the child, the head of Ganesha got severed. In the life of good man with a spiritual bent of mind such a tormenting period is also notable for attachment to a higher ideal. Saturn first detaches from and then attaches and to....it depends on our karmas. Thatgift of Saturn is least noticed.

Saturn’s transit in Vrischika or Scorpio have been periods of pain for India if in the Hindu New Year chart Mars afflicts the lagna, Sun or Moon also. Will Indian politicians and Indian voters think of a higher ideal? For a quick glance, let us recollect ...

1927 etc. yearsCommunal riots in India, particularly after the Khilafat movement of Mahatma Gandhi between 1921 and 1940 are well known blood stained chapters of pre partition India mainly,it is said, as a result of the mischievous British policies of divide and rule. With Saturn in Tula, the RSS was formed by Hedgewar after many communal riots had taken place all over India. After Saturn moved into Vrischika the terrible riots that swept all over India from Bengal to Lahore are recorded giving argu¬ments to Mohammad Iqbal, later to Jinnah for their demand for Pakistan.

1955 etc. yearsThe years of Nehru’s decline had begun. There was no opposition to the Congress party and Nehru had become very unpopular and controversial with certain section of Hindus and some Congress men who dare not speak against him openly. Two events, preventing Purushottam Das Tandon, who had defeated Kriplani Nehru supported from functioning as the elected president of the Congress party, and the passing of the Hindu Code Bill instead of a common civil code had brought down the popularity of Nehru drastically. But there was

neither strong independent opposition those days, nor television channels like these days to make a big dent into the reputation of Nehru and his pseudo secularism. Then came the agitations filled days of States Reorganiza¬tion and the first ever communist government in India was formed in Kerala in 1957. Nehru realized that his vote winning abilities were on the wane.

1986 etcThese are the years more fresh in public memory. In the post Indira Gandhi assassination period, Rajiv Gandhi swept into power with an unprecedented majority but frittered it away in many ways particularly through the Bofors scandal and the machinations of V.P.Singh. See the following.

From a website - The first whiff about the scandal came on April 16, 1987 when a Swedish Radio broadcast claimed that AB Bofors had paid kickbacks to key Indian policy makers and top defence officials to secure the deal. News about this broadcast was carried in the Indian media and the Rajiv Gandhi government issued a prompt denial.(Ketu Rahu period of IndianIndependence horoscope)The details came to be known later.

From a website - A deal was signed on March 24, 1986, between New Delhi and the Swedishmetals and armaments major, which said AB Bofors would supply the Indian Army with 410 155-mm howitzers. An option to license-produce 1000 more guns was also included in the deal.The amount was a significant $285 million (about Rs 1500 crore) for a pre-liberalizationIndia. Sonia Gandhi through whose connection Quattrochi had entered into it all was not even visible then and the blame for it all fell fully and squarely on Rajiv Gandhi.

I remember those days very vividly as I was in government service producing reports and my intimate batch mate, late R.V.Bansod, produced the Bofors report. He used to come to the CAG’s office where I was posted, almost every week to discuss this report with T.N.Chaturvedi the CAG who took deepest personal interest in the case as in no other report. I often saw expressions of despair on the face of Bansod who told me a thing or two and expressed his exasperation.

Saturn waited for thirty years to enter Vrischika again to bite Sonia Gandhi in 2015 and her son.

In 2015 etcSaturn in Scorpio now has shown first communal tensions then casteist problems through Patidar movement in Gujarat and now the focus is on Delhi and three political parties.

Politics in India has deteriorated now. Some politicians, being products of bad upbringing or excessive materialistic greed or political ambitions, have also become abusive unlike anytime in the history of independent India. Those days predictable denunciations were couched in acceptable language. In 1977 we had Raj Narain, a rustic MP who had defeated Indira Gandhi, never known for blatant abusive language as an IIT man called Arvind Kejriwal chief minister of Delhi tweeting vulgar language for the Prime Minister of India now in 2015. Or Mamata earlier uttering this After Calling Narendra Modi a 'Donkey', Mamata Banerjee Now Calls Him 'Danga Babu' Press Trust of India May 09, 2014.

But remember all this had begun when Sonia Gandhi said “Maut ka Saudagar” in an electionspeech long before Saturn reached Vrischika. But Narendra Modi himself was very indecent in his election speeches in Bihar with Saturn in Vrischika particularly when he referred to thedaughter of Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Saturn, known for teaching lessons through hard knocks on the head ,is creating a painful internal churning in all political parties apart from attacks on it so violently. Internal churning is visible now checks and balance in a democracy will emerge out of such bickeringwhich is good for Indian democracy.

In the case of the Congress there is no internal democracy it being a party of dynastic slaves, and therefore no internal bickerings leading to exposure of corruption has emerged. For BJP, it is now a fiery ordeal. It is true that there are stories within stories in all these andit is also apparent that many enemies of Arun Jaitley in the BJP are now thirsting for his blood to settle their personal scores. We produced a book showing how ages of 36 and 72 are significant years in the life of an individual or even a political party, The Congress party (I), formed in 1978 lost badly in the elections of 2014. BJP is reaching its thirty sixth year in2016.

AAP a party known, as someone said in a television debate,as always accusing party expelled Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav two dissent¬ing voices, and made Kejri a dictator. This party will have a churning after facing a court case. This party will have to takemany knocks on its head to shed it vociferous vulgarity which can happen after facing court cases. (See Appendix 1)

- Saturn is in Vrischika and Mars aspects the lagna, Sun and Moon in thetenth house.

- Saturn is in Vrischika and Mars afflict Sun and Moon along with Ketu.

Some observations1. Subramian Swamy is becoming with his winningly capricious personality the agent of Saturn in the year 2015 by offering even to help Kirti Azad against Arun Jaitley.

2.Saturn is doing what journalists failedto do---it is proving that the year 2015 is a watermark year for us to discover that politicians are self-serving, laughable idiots also dreaded as powerful scoundrels.

3. If in courts of law they, the politicians, strip each other naked and itis reported in newspaper, courts of law will become a substitute for fear of God for them in future.

4. Stories of corruption of the Congress party and the BJP are well known and

are always in thick rumours. CAG had shown the corruption of Con¬gress led UPA government through its various reports with Kapil Sibbal arguing them to be “zero losses” AAP, yet to learn these tricks, will wait for its pretence and pomposity to be pricked very soon when many more facts are discovered. At the moment it is a screaming party of ill disciplined urchins in politics.

5. Will the tweet specialist Kejri say “ Why was Delhi discovered to be world’s most polluted city one year after I became the chief minister.”? He will do it when necessary to answer when asked what had he achieved for Delhi after raising inflated expectations.

6. Astrologically, the result at the end of court cases will be one party will be proven to be dirty, the second party dirtier and the third party dirtiest. For this I am using the Dhanu lagna horoscope of AAP though Sundar Balakrishnan has written to me that he has subsequently switched over to 12 noon horoscope. But Salil Jogi , also an astrologer, who claimed to have attended the same meeting told me that it could be 10 am, 11,am and 12 am depending what our basis was. With Mars in the lagna, lagna lord in the sixth house andVenus and Saturn in the eleventh house, its habit of street fighting is explainable why it should be Dhanu lagna clearly. And looking at the belligerence and rusticity of AAP with its lack of decency, the Dhanu lagna seems more suitable . And with Mars and Rahu in Kanya, AAP’s tenth house shows its vulgar reactions clearly and publicly. First Post explains this behaviour of Arvind Kejriwal in its own way.(Annexure 3)

See the transit these days. The Congress Party with Meena lagna has Rahu and Mars in seventh house ruining its publicimage so severely. In its present Jupiter dasha, aspected by the sixth and eighth lord there is the mixed reaction of disgrace and helpless fight: in the antardasha of Mercury the seventh house of its public image and in the pratyantara dasha of Saturn in the sixth house it has hardest offights.

With Mithuna lagna, Mars and Rahu in its fourth house shows BJP’s troubles within the partyitself with Kirti Azad getting support from known and unknown party leaders. In its Sun dasha, (third lord in the tenth house) Saturn eighth and ninth lord in the third house and Jupiter dasha involved in a guru chandala yoga, it is fighting better without being able to avoid disgrace.

They say haman me sab... Saturn in Vrischika is doing that now.

Famous victims of scorpion bites of 2015 (to be undated) :-Congress Party: Sonia Gandhi and Rahul GandhiBJP: Arun Jaitley and Kirti AzadAam Aadmi Party: Kejriwal, Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Kumar Vishwas, Raghav Chadha and Deepak BajpaiRam Jethmalani: Someone should ask him to read Yaksha Prashna in the Mahabharata. (seeappendix 2)

But it is the first time that Saturn in Vrischika is driving them from streets into courts of law.Street fighters like Arvind Kejriwal have been dragged to the court by Arun Jaitley. Does it mean that Saturn in Vrischika favours lawyers? Who was it, (Ramakrishna Paramhamsa ?) who said that doctors and lawyers go to !!!

And the last bite of the scorpion as the year 2015 was ending is that our members of parliament after doing no work in parliament, holding it to ransom have unanimously agreedto increase their pay and allowances and unanimously. If the argument is that payment should be according to performance then include shouting, individually or collectively, also as performance. Yes by shouting collectively they spend more energy needing more staminathan listening to one speaker speaking at one time and listening quietly. They do not call it Shouting Allowance.

CAUTION: Remember Mars will join Saturn in Vrischika and will be there for many months. Remember belonging to a political party and becoming its blind loyal supporter is a new weakness of a new age.

'Is vulgarity the new norm of Indian politics?': Arun Jaitley speaks out on Winter Session Dec 24, 2015 16:31 ISTSTRAY THOUGHTS AFTER THE WINTER SESSION What about the statements made by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi about the Prime Minister and others, both inside and outside Delhi Assembly? If any functionary of the Government of India were to use such language, it would result in a nationwide outrage. People in positions are expected to act with restraint. They cannot be outlandish.Vulgarity isnot a right available to them. The political discourse cannot be couched in vulgar language. Falsehood delivered with vulgar overtones is not a substitute of truth. Lumpenisation of public discourse can never be a high point of politics. Functionaries of the Delhi Governmentand its supporters have lowered the level of political discourse. They rely heavily on generalfalsehood without ever stating the specifics. The Aam Aadmi Party’s success in Delhi seems to have misled the Congress Party that vulgarity brings votes. Indian public opinion has a sense of fairness. It is time that public opinion expresses its outrage against the lowering ofthe level of public discourse.

Decoding Arvind Kejriwal: His method is his statement and here's why he is not going to changeby Akshaya Mishra Dec 25, 2015He troubled the Congress three years ago, and he is troubling the BJP now.He was acerbic with his tongue then, he is equally acidic now. He punched well above his weight then; he is still at it. His approach has an anarchic trait then, it has not changed a bit. People had been guessing whether his madness had a method, they are still undecided. He confused us all as an anti-corruption crusader and as a politician, he continues to be a riddle.

In short, Arvind Kejriwal remains where he was: That devil-may-care attitude, the air of irreverence and take-the-holy-cow-down approach are right where they were; perhaps whathas changed is the way the world looks at and interprets him these days. As he takes on another political biggie, Arun Jaitley, and keeps targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there’s a fresh round of speculation on what he is up to.

Is he gunning for the prime minister’s job in 2019? Yes, some would believe. There’s a vacuum in the Opposition space right now and the Congress under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership is not likely to occupy it quickly. So far so good. But why would other regional

leaders cede space to him when there is a lot of prime ministerial ambition going around among them? JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee have offered plenty of hints of this ambition earlier. ....The simple fact is that though his style of operation has not altered a bit, Kejriwal of 2015 is not the Kejriwal of 2012. For someone whose politics is all about daily skirmishes, angry decibels and a spectacular lack of fresh ideas, it would be impossible to earn equal space with his vastly senior peers in other friendly parties. It means the prime ministerial ambition attributed to him is a bit far-fetched.

Is he only trying to make his presence felt through regular doses of outrageous activity? Perhaps, he is an incorrigible attention-seeker, but it does not lead us anywhere; he is already a legitimate political presence in Delhi and he does not need his high-decibel theatrics to be visible anymore. ... The motive behind Kejriwal’s actions will forever remain open to interpretations.

(25 December X-Mas 2015) ETERNAL INDIA 19 - THE GITA, THE BHAGVATAM AND VISHNU SAHASTRANAMM TRADITION - PART I

KN RAO19 Říjen 2009, 11:51 AM

It is an incident which happened more than twenty seven years ago or to be precise in Octobter 1982 and I learnt a lesson though enigmatically here I was the preacher. Those days I was in government service and every evening we had the recitation among other stotras of the Vishnu Sahastranaam which is my universal prescription to anyone wanting toseek remedial measure from me as an astrologer. I otherwise ask anyone interested in spiritual pursuit to do it regularly.

I share with some of the more intimate friends who have spiritual inclinations some experiences of mine and others to which I have been a first hand witness. What I have written in my book “Yogis, Destiny and the Wheel of Time” is only a tiny fragment of what all could be narrated. But the eternal warning given everywhere don’t cast pearls...is a warning repeated in so many places in our scriptures and even in the Gita in the last parts of the eighteenth chapter.

I have reasons to remember a person in his late seventies or early eighties in the years from 1980 to 1984. He was the father of a a friend seventeen years younger to me. This young man used to join our Vishnu Sahastranam recitation as many times as he could though we had it everyday those days at my place. I will call him MGA. He also joined our Vrindavan pilgrimages which were once or twice a month. But he was familiar with Vrindavan because he was born there after his late father had migrated to this great pilgrimage after the partition of India.

This piece is of course is about the old man, the father of my young friend MGA. Those affected by the partition in what now is Pakistan, or rather west Punjab of prepartion days,mostly went to well known big cities and soon made enough money to become prosperous. How can pilgrimages offer any opportunity to earn big money ? But some of the refugees decided to migrate to pilgrimages and my friend’s father decided to go to Mathura from where he could go to Vrindavan and spend as much with saints and in satsang and also earnmoney to fulfil his duties as a householder for his family. He had lost one arm, had a small business and earned enough to educate all his sons well. Each of them got good jobs and served their parents faithfully.

The father of MGA fell seriously ill in 1982, was on his death bed. In desperation, once he told his son who had got him admitted to a hospital that he wanted me to see his horoscopeand also expressed a wish to meet me. I went to Mathura, where he was in a hospital, to see him.

He asked me to see his horoscope and make a prediction which surprised me . I collected myself and asked him why had he decided, after the partition, to migrate to Mathura and not to a bigger city where he could have earned a big fortune like many others. He said thathe wanted to devote his life to Lord Krishna and he had often quoted from the Gita and the Srimad Bhagvatam which he knew as well as any seasoned preacher. I asked him then was he remembering what Lord Krishna had demanded---surrender unto ME ? Was astrological prediction superior to the preachings of Lord Krishna ? The old man kept quiet, took deep breath and after a very long pause, as though woken out of a deep meditation, said that I preached to him what he was forgetting. When he had decided to surrender everything to Lord Krisna why should he forget it now, with death staring at him ?

Slowly a strange glow appeared on his face. He kept quiet, became cheerful and felt very peaceful. I was reminded of what C.G.Jung, the great psychologist, had written once. Jung went to hospitals, saw old men on death bed wanting to cling to life desperately.Jung asked them what was the most important event left to happen in their lives. The answer invariablywas Death. Yes, that was inevitable Jung would tell them and was the only major event awaiting them. Once those old men reconciled to the fact that death was the only event to take place, they became calm and peace reigned on their faces.

I almost did the same to the father of MGA---but with a difference. I was talking to a Hindu who had such strong spiritual background.

After my rhetorical questions to him he seemed to remember the entire eighth chapter of the Gita and reconciled himself to death beautifully, was remembering only Lord Krishna, forgetting the world, his family and other worries. He became absolutely peaceful and few days after died a beautiful death.

The story of MGA himself in July 2009 is equally beautiful, like his father’s, but with a pleasant difference and I will narrate it after some days. But then remember the eighth chapter of the Gita, the eternal and most beautiful message ever delivered to mankind. ( 17 Oct 2009)
