ASTROLOGY IS THE EYE OF WISDOM-1KN RAO 3 August 2007, 7:47 PM (English translation of an article of K.N.Rao in Hindi about his Jyotish guru, Yogi Bhaskarananda) K.N. Rao It was in 1941 that my mother had taught me astrology. But in 1969 a Yogi had explained to me that astrology was the eye of wisdom. Passing through narrow streets of a fort like locality on the scooter of Natu Bhai I had my first darshan (glimpse) of my astrology guru, Yogi Bhaskaranand. I neither knew that he was an astrologer nor that he wrote and spoke extremely beautiful English. I had gone to have a darshan of a Yogi about whom Natu Bhai had given an entirely description; it was as though Jesus Christ had reappeared on this earth of ours. A Christian bishop had suddenly stopped on the road once after seeing. Natu Bhai had not told me that his locks of hairs were golden, soft like butter, and curly. I remembered the reaction of Bernard Shaw who after seeing the hair of Rabindranath Tagore had wished if only he too had such hair. My eyes instead of getting riveted on his lustrous face were invariably above it. Physical beauty has rarely attracted me. But it was a divine sight. His widow sister used to serve him. Only two souls lived in that mansion like house in which perhaps the rays of the sun could never reach. Not hot in summer, not cold in winter. Was a cave of the Himalaya lifted and placed in a narrow street of Ahmadabad?My name being Rao (not a name from the Hindi speaking area) it was natural that he began conversation in English. Being a Gujarati himself he spoke haltingly in Hindi. But like a torrential flow was his literary and beautiful English. Using difficult words had become natural with him for two reasons: he had done B.A.(Hons) in English literature and was so steeped in the writings of Sri Aurobindo that long sentences had become a habit with him. What was it in him that left an impression on me ? His exquisite conversational ability or mature spiritual wisdom? For 40 years he had done sadhana, scriptural studies and astrology in the caves of the Himalayas. He hailed from a prosperous family and was a baal brahmchari (a celibate from childhood). Once, when during the course of conversation in our small group, he started his discussion of a horoscope, I, as though, was irritated. My mother was my first jyotisha guru but when I saw other astrologers I found them dogmatic, half-educated, uncouth and fear-arousing cheats. Even today that is my impression. Descending from metaphysical heights, he came to discussing astrology, which has been described as apara vidya. I was surprised and my reaction did not remain unnoticed by him. Dr. B.V. Raman had given him (my Jyotish Guru) a span of life of 90 years according to his astrological calculation perhaps because his Atmakaraka, Moon, was in the 9th house with Jupiter. But he himself had said, "I will take samadhi as soon as the mahadasha of Mercury will begin." "B.V. Raman's analysis is wrong", he said proceeded to explain it astrologically thus Horoscope 1. The lagna and the 8th lord, Mars, is debilitated. 2. The 10th lord is not in kendra. 3. The 3rd lord, Mercury is in the 8th house and retrograde. 4. Mercury is a maraka for Mesha lagna. 5. Mercury, the 2nd lord from the Moon, is placed in the 12th from it. 6. After the dashas of Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter and Saturn, the dasha of Mercury will be the 7th. In the Vimshamsha, Mercury is the 12th lord, time for samadhi and sadhe saati will be on. Yogi he was and used to say, "Do bhajans. Bhajan is the medicine for all ailments and suffering". His hints about my horoscope; He used to say, "Yours is Tula lagna and Mesha navamsha and mine is Mesha lagna and Tula navamsha.' 2. My 9th lord (Jupiter) which represents the Guru is on your 5th lord (Saturn) both in Dhanu. 3. Your Moon is in the 11th from my Moon, which shows the possibilities of your fulfilling my incomplete work. Gajakesari Yoga If human life is a half-told story of stifled sobs, the company of a Yogi is the perfume in it of a flower. In this horoscope (of Yogiji) that flower is the Gajakesari yoga in the 9th house. Both Jupiter and the Moon are in blemishless condition here. There is no aspect of any planet on it nor any conjunction. The 4th lord in the 9th is the ashram and there is Jupiter here. But what is the ashram of a guru? A scholar has explained, "Aa-Samantaat Shramah" the place where all types of labour is to be done. Is there any place fulfilling such condition? Mars in the 4th Sick of the politics of the ashram he had come back to Ahmadabad. His Guru had assured him that he would appear after his samadhi (death). Such divine hope assumes the shape of life's effulgence. Perhaps this had happened in Jupiter-Mars (1966-67) which he wanted to erase from his memory. But subtle hurts are unbearable, particularly if they come from a person whom you venerate. Jupiter and Mars are 6/8 here. In the crematorium like silence of his house,in Jupiter-Rahu (1967-69) he, as though, wanted to live down that memory. Two currents flowed in his life side by side, to stop that interminable flow of his sobs and the unbroken spells of meditation which was like the flow of oil. Saturnine detachment became strong as soon as the mahadasha of Saturn started. Deep thinking in his cloistered life was very natural now because in the Vimshamsha both Saturn and the Moon are in the 9th house. As his sadhana deepened he started getting disinterested in astrology. When he did the discussion of any horoscope, he paid attention to two aspects invariably. When and how will Life-Force flow and the spiritual side. This is the essence of jyotisha which is a truth-based preaching. Blessings Were someone to ask me if I have seen anyone's blessings give fruits a hundred percent I will say, without a moment's hesitation,"Yes, my Jyotish guru's". The aspect of Jupiter on his Ketu in the 5th house had given him such supernatural power that he did not need astrology anymore. Who came to him why and with concealed motive--he knew all that. I must have taken at least one hundred astrologers to him. He blessed only a young girl that jyotisha will be a divine eye for her, which came out correct. Others are the shopkeepers in a bazaar minting money like street ruffians. Last Darshan: In 1988, he once rang me up from Neetibag and said, "Will you not come to meet me? We will not meet after this." When I met him last, he was passing through the antardasha of Jupiter in the mahadasha of Saturn. He had faraway looks, the past had disappeared from his life and it was only the Luminescent Present that remained. Eyes were, as though, inebriated, it was that God-intoxicated condition which Meerabai described: Friends drink and dance, I, without drinking, dance. Quaffed have I God's Love, Incessant is inebriation now Dyed I am, in God's splendor. On 12 April 1991 singing a bhajan in his Ahmadabad ashram he fell into the immortal slumber of ultimate Samadhi. SPIRITUAL ASTROLOGY One day he gave me a manuscript and asked me to home, open it and edit it. Back home, I opened it and found that it was a book on astrology! I hesitated but when I started reading it, I found subjects like Jyotisha and Karma, Jyotish and the flow of Life Force, Jyotish and Yogic Psychology. Then there were many aphorisms of predictive astrology based on his own experience. My mother had not taught me spiritual astrology. And now I began to learn that "Jyotish is para vidya, the eye of wisdom, demonstrable knowledge, not a bread winning subject." My book, "Karma and Rebirth in Hindu Astrology" is based on his analysis and discussion. He had given up astrology in the last years of his life and someone stole that manuscript also. I had to, therefore, write on this subject as I have acknowledged in the preface to that book. And one day he predicted, after discussing my own horoscope that after doing astrology on international stages, I will renounce life. His was the physical frame of a Yogi, the diet of a Yogi, the sleep of a Yogi and the selfcontrol of a Yogi. He never fell sick. Once he had said, "Whatever may be the ailment, do fasting and drink the water of the Ganga. Everything will be cured." And then when I was transferred to Patna he had said, "in eastern India, particularly in Bihar, there will be a revolutionary agitation. I will make such a muhurta for you that amidst raging fires all round you, you will not be hurt." It was a blending of mundane and muhurta astrology. Things happened as he had predicted. Between 1972 and 1975 there was the agitation of Jaya Prakash Narayan and I witnessed violent incidents every day. "These fellows cannot even grasp the horoscope of Indira Gandhi". He had said once. "She will trample on everyone and becoming a powerful leader, will become an immortal leader of history." Those days almost every astrology had written that Indira Gandhi could become M.P. (Member of Parliament) but never P.M. (Prime Minister). I have written in my book, the Nehru Dynasty that he had said many times that Indira Gandhi was making all-important announcements in muhurtas and nakshatras preferred by Tantriks. I have given many illustrations."This becomes very fatal. Such karma destroys whole family. It is now proven correct historically. First her son, Sanjay Gandhi(23 June 1980), Indira Gandhi herself (31 October, 1984) and Rajiv Gandhi (21 May 1991) died violent death. Perhaps, the flickering flame of the Nehru Dynasty will glow again, but dimly, when Sonia Gandhi enters politics. It is now clear that from 1966 to 1984, Indira Gandhi was a powerful and unparalleled Prime minister. Esoteric Astrological Combinations           Connection of 5th and the 9th lords (PAC) is the upward sublimation of the Life Force.(Auspicious) Connection of the 6th and 9th lords/houses is ingratitude. (Inauspicious) Benefic association of the 2nd house lord (the place of ethical conduct in Astanga Yoga) gives moral support. (Auspicious) Malefic concentration in the 2nd house or with its lord gives birth to a liar and a cheat.(Inauspicious) If the 5th lord has no aspect or conjunction of any planet it is good for meditation on the Supreme. (Auspicious) Aspect of a malefic on a retrograde 5th lord gives birth to a villain. (Inauspicious) A good Jupiter without andy aspect or conjunction gives stable idealism. (Auspicious) A badly aspected Jupiter converts concealed lack of idealism into hypocrisy. (Inauspicious) Detachment giver Saturn is best when alone. (Auspicious) " Saturn associated with or aspected by planets is bondage as in my case", he said once. (Inauspicious)      The 11th house which is the house of gains is also the house of bondage. It is good if the 11th lord is afflicted as it increases spiritual thirst. (Auspicious) An auspicious 11th house or lord being a strong kama trikona is the illusion of or the Maya. (Inauspicious) RETROGRADED MAJOR MK PATHAK 28 August 2007, 12:38 PM        This is the horoscope of a serving Major, now Colonel, of India Army. He had come to me sometime in August last year (2005), totally frustrated as despite possessing excellent credentials, he was being denied promotion to the rank of Colonel for a long time. As is the system in Indian Army, Selection Boards are constituted and the Board goes through the confidential records of eligible candidates and then gives its recommendation for Promoting them or otherwise. This Major,according to his brother who is my colleague, always had an outstanding record in his career and this denial of promotion was resulting in despair bordering on almost looking for a job elsewhere. When he came to me, he was serving an organisation on deputation and this posting was considered to be a prize posting in the army circles. Despite possessing experience in battle-field and winning medals, the next promotion still eluded him. Have a lookat the horoscope. Pisces lagna withMars in the second house. Tenth lord in the tenth house along with eleventh and twelfth lord and both planets are retrograde. Sixth lord‘s placement in the fourth house and placement of third and eighth lord in the fifth house. Fifth house has retrograde Mercury.  Three planets in the horoscope are retrograde. Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury. He came to me along with his younger brother. His younger brother had taken a prediction from me and the prediction was fulfilled. Perhaps this could be the reason for him to have desperately tried seeking time and pressured me into accommodating him.  He has two daughters. One was born on 9-7-90 and other was born on 6-11993. Dasha running at the time of birth of the first daughter was Jupiter/Saturn/Jupiter. A look at the birth chart would suggest that Jupiter and Saturn both don‘t connect directly with the fifth and the ninth house. Jupiter is lagna lord. But a look at Saptamsha would tell you that Jupiter is aspecting fifth house and Saturn is lagna lord. Saturn (R) was transitting in Sagittarius and Jupiter in transit was in Gemini. Mars was in Aries and Moon was in Capricorn.                 This horoscope has tenth lord placed in the tenth house. As such the conditional dasha of Parashara which needs to be applied here is Chatursheeti Sama dasha on which my colleague, Shri Naval Singh has produced an excellent book. Tenth lord is placed in the tenth house. Dasha running at the time of birth of first daughter is Mercury/Venus (in which conceivement took place) and Mercury/Saturn when the baby was born. The second daughter was born on 6-1-1993. Dasha running at that time was Jupiter/Ketu/Venus. In Chatursheeti Sama dasha it was the dasha of Mecury/Sun. Both these events were being explained conveniently by the horoscope and the dasha sequence satisfying the astrologer in me that the chart on which we were working was a correct one. He came to me when Saturn/Mercury/Venus was running. Retrograde eleventh and twelfth lord‘s dasha was running. This planet is placed in the tenth house along with tenth lord. Tenth lord is also retrograde. Antardasha running was of fourth and seventh lord Mercury, again retrograde, but in the fifth house with Venus, third and eighth lord whose pratyantar was running. Has he come to me seeking an answer to some abnormal delay in his professional pursuit or promotion? Is there someone working against his interest in the corridors of power that matter? Is he thinking of changing his job now? If these questions cross my mind then can I be faulted. He narrated the sequence of events and asked me the question, will I be able to stay in job?. On inquiry, he revealed that thrice when the number of vacancies were good, still his name could not be cleared by the Board. He naturally thought that some superior of his had given him a bad ACR resulting in his detention in the same post. He approached his seniors but in vain. Now another board was constituted and his name was there in the panel of candidates to be considered for promotion but there was only one vacancy this time. Now after having been rejected by the Board when there were good number of vacancies, he was naturally apprehensive of his promotion as now there was only one vacancy. When he came to me he was on deputation. Deputation in government circles mean that the person is working at a place which is not his parent office. Confirming the dasha results of twelfth lord Saturn again. Now the big question? Will he or will he not? Saturn/Mercury/Sun will start in December and run upto January, 2006 when the dasha will change to Saturn/Mercury/Moon. Saturn in the tenth house, Mercury in the fifth house (seventh lord), and Sun aspecting tenth house and being aspected by tenth lord. Moon, fifth lord in the eleventh house of recognition and aspecting fifth house. Board was to sit sometime in January, 2006. Both Sun and Moon were promising. Chatursheeti Sama dasha was also considered. Jupiter/Mars. Jupiter, tenth lord and Mars, ninth lord in the second house. Wonderful. Things were looking good now. A look at dashmansha revealed that Jupiter is the seventh lord of navamsha placed in the seventh house and Mars is sixth and eleventh lord of dashmansha, placed in the sixth house of fight. Saturn in Cancer and Jupiter in Libra in transit were influencing the ninth lord and the second house of Major. Till how long will retrograde planets in the tenth house keep troubling him? How many times will he have to undergo the same cycle of rejection and dejection? No. I thought now the time has come when Jupiter and Mars will have to fulfill their roles of tenth and ninth lord and grant him luck when I knew that by saying so I would be giving out a prediction which is against all odds. Remember there was only one vacancy this time. This is how the planets reveal the joy and sorrows. the writer is a very active member of the research group which he joined after passing our two year course in astrology.

In Jaimini‘s Chara dasha it is Vrisha. Was the horoscope correct? . from Dhanu the AMK aspects the eleventh house but as soon Makar pratyantara dasha would be reached. A woman was a ―disposable commodity‖ who would enter her husband‘s house and could be neglected unlike the boy. She had to leave her job for some months to look after her child. has been and continues to be the favoured child of the family. She asked me sometime in March 2008 about it. most people in northern India rarely kept correct birth details those days when she was born. She was happy as the job would give her ample opportunity to look after her child and also get back into active journalism. It is the view of many even now. It was so in her case also. Vrisha has the amatyakaraka. It is a good period for her to come back into her journalistic life. She rang me up and asked me for an urgent consultation. The pratyantara dasha lord Rahu is in the 4/10 axis from Jupiter. second from Mercury. Sun.Makara from 13 April 2008 to 14 May 2008. 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. Jupiter is in the eleventh house from Mercury. Mercury is aspecting the second house and the lord of the antardasha. But the memory of someone in the family helped her retrieve her birth details is what she told me.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. having lost their original horoscopes during their migration in 1947 from the riot torn areas of what now are Pakistan and Bangladesh.Dhanu. I asked her to try for a job right now and she should land a job before the end of May. it would be aspecting the tenth house. In the Vimshottari dasha it was Mercury-Jupiter-Rahu from 28 Jan 2008 to 31 May 2008. In the case of women. Both in Shillong and Calcutta and later in Delhi I got horoscopes of people who were doubtful about their birth details. Now see the dashamansha Mercury is in the tenth house while Jupiter is the tenth lord and Rahu too is in the tenth house. She now wanted to get back to her journalistic life. see the dasha antardasha in Vimshottari and Chara dasha and ask some striking question. I can proceed to give her some predictions on this horoscope without correcting her birth time. When such a case comes up note the prominent features of the horoscope and the dasha and antardasha of three or four past years. 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. The birth horoscope and the navamsha showed either a bad marriage or no marriage. Vimshottari dasha and Jaimini karakas of people born at the same time will remain the same. not science during her student days. Before any prediction is given it becomes the primary consideration. The dashamansha will work. divisional horoscopes need to be prepared. first verify whether this horoscope is fitting into his/her pattern of life.    . In such cases. But as far as the person before you is concerned. She was confused about the ayanamsha to be used that was another question. Mars is with Sun and Venus. Karakamsha lagna is Simha and Putrakaraka is Mercury with Jupiter showing pure inclination towards humanity in her studies. To distinguish one from the other. Was it classical I asked because of the influence of Jupiter on the putrakaraka. 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. just note down the birth details as are passed on and do not indulge in exercise of correcting it which can be done later. Not married she said. But does she do any business ? Yes she said. unafflicted in the eleventh house aspects the fifth house. The fifth lord. She had done MA (music) she said. She knows some astrology and had some doubt whether hers was Vrischika lagna or Tula.Karakamsha lagna is Simha and Putrakaraka is Mercury with Jupiter showing pure inclination towards humanities. Moon. in clothes. an artistic planet. The lagna. classical Hindustani music she said. Yes. untested and wild. Atmakaraka is in Vrisha. Dr Raman never uttered a single word in all those three days in defence of his ayanamsha. 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. It was Rahu-Mars both in the seventh house with heaviest affliction with the added aspect of Saturn. I asked him to convince a) a gathering of astrologers who make panchangas and b) the Human Resources Ministry which he has failed to do. She told me about the disease and she survived is what she told me. She had a fatal disease in this period. They only learnt from me from the period of onset of sickness and its outcome and even wrote articles or books. Remember the warning I have given repeatedly given about the Dhanu dasha.dangerous in three ways. You can even try Dwisaptati Sama Dasha on which Manoj Pathak has done excellent and original research. In Chara dasha it was the dasha of Vrisha and Kumbha.Use only Lahiri ayanamsha and do not get lost in the lunacy of the claims of others about their ayanamsha which is unproven. Then there are other non-medical astrologers reeling off wild ―researches‖ on various diseases particularly diabetes and heart attack. Then one day came a fellow with the claim that he had discoverd a true ayanamsha and that Lahiri was wrong. Raman and Pandit Sukhdeo Chaturvedi. Addressing a gathering of students after disturbing their classes is not the right approach to win a battle. All these are untested and unproven mostly wild and boastfully loud pieces paraded as researches. Kumbha is eighth from Karakamsha in Karka. Dhanu is also sixth from Karakamsha and eighth from Atmakaraka-. Raman who had the mortification of seeing his ayanamsha being rejected by the entire gathering of panchanga makers of India attending that meeting. He had looked sane till he started talking nonsense. Ayanamsha lunatics She had some confusion about ayanamsha. The antardasha starting from Kumbha is significant. it was dasha of Jupiter Mercury. Then other events can be verified as they will fall in a pattern in a sequence. Their own contribution to medical astrology is a big zero. It was a three day conference which I had to conduct on the insistence of Dr. That is chara dasha and the seven karaka scheme for you. . Then the antardasha of Makara and then of Dhanu do not seem to be happy period in her life. Yes. 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. All this appeared to be bleak. It coincides with Jupiter-Mercury dasha in the eighth house. From 2003 Rahu and Saturn were transitting in Vrisha and Mithuna.In 2004. At that time you had told me that I am likely to be transferred to a country outside India but within the . I told this woman that her lagna was Vrischika and that she should use only Lahiri ayanamsha. If you are doing astrology seriously you must be prepared to meet these ayanamsha lunatics somewhere or the other sometime or the other.

Historical perspective To get to the root cause of differing views on astrology. they answer everything to do with astrology in stereotyped statements ―Astrology has no scientific foundation for its tenets. all the great scholars are said to have studied astrology. This led to a rejection of the belief that the stars could influence fate. This stands in conflict with the loving reverential esteem which we owe only to God. They both rejected prognostic astrology because it was incompatible with free will while at the same time accepting astrological influences in other areas such as the physical body and even a person's character. Those church leaders and Popes tolerant towards astrology remained in the minority. must follow. Luther rejected astrology and attacked it polemically after both the failure of one of his own prognoses concerning the downfall of the Papacy and of several prophesies made by his friend Melanchton.In ancient Rome there were many prominent opponents of Astrology. There are several different versions of Luther's natal chart in circulation which supporters and opponents of Luther refer to when arguing their case. among them Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe. Up until that time prominent scientists. They believed that everything follows a natural course which human beings. . Pliny the Elder.‖ The reformer Martin Luther was one of astrology's most outspoken critics despite having initially had an open mind on the subject. were actively involved in astrology. astrology came increasingly under fire. These new opponents not only saw a conflict with the issue of free will. So the language had the selection from Greek and Roman culture of that time and very little of its own. It was claimed that the signs of the Zodiac and the houses were static and therefore irreconcilable with cosmic laws. From this time astrology was seen as unscientific and unprovable. and they claimed that science alone was capable of giving an adequate explanation of the world and ultimately the universe itself. During the Renaissance (a cultural movement in Europe between 14th and 17th century). Not only theologists but also scientists turned their back on it. Astrology was influenced by the Stoics who were strong advocates of determinism. Seneca and Tacitus rejected standard astrological practice and questioned the connection between the heavenly bodies and events on Earth. it was not until Renaissance that the scientifically-minded one became more and more hostile. according to their inherent nature. During the Enlightenment. Horace. Leading figures such as Cicero. According to this worldview astrology is limited to recognizing the inevitable. People‘s mind too has a destiny but perhaps with more freedom. On this subject the current Catholic catechism states: ―The hidden motive of many who turn to astrology is to gain access to hidden powers. But their argument did not lead the Church to reconsider its position towards astrology. Every century had believers and nonbelievers. Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas became influential mediators between theology and astrology. The dominant theological conviction was that God was the ultimate power to which humans should willingly submit. almost. (Science and Astrology). and not only for financial reasons as is often claimed by present day scientists. The English language took birth from Greek and Latin. according to which the universe is constantly evolving. with Canterbury tales of Geoffrey Chaucer towards the end of the 14th century AD. and this led many intellectuals – including stoics – to reject it. The opposition to astrology grew further with the spread of Christianity. Carl Jung. in which he said: had the astrologers (with but few exceptions) concerned themselves more with statistics and questioned the justice of their interpretation in a scientific spirit. Jung himself carried out a statistical survey. one of his few scientific endeavors. Clearly the Western astrology was lacking and could not have stood the statistical and scientific tests when Jung organized the survey. In 1975. an advertisement in the renowned American Journal "The Humanist" condemned astrology. and BBC reporters wanted to interview some of the Nobel Prize winners concerning their own personal views regarding astrology. He poses an interesting rhetorical question : ―Why 186 signatures if one has arguments?‖ Where does one draw the line? Can both the proponents and skeptics of astrology be wrong"? Arthur M. 186 scientists and 18 Nobel prize winners signed on a document without even caring to scientifically examine based on the principle of certainty and quite forgetting the statement of Herbert Spencer ― There is no bar to knowledge greater than contempt prior to examination‖.

In August 1990, I shared with readers of the Times of Astrology, an astrological journal, my research in the most difficult dasha in astrology, the Kaal Chakra dasha. With Jaimini‘s Chara dasha, as I am the first ever astrologer to show how predictions can be made, so too with the Kaal Chakra dasha I had done that. To illustrate, I had taken Rajiv Gandhi‘s horoscope and had discussed it ten months before Rajiv‘s death. After the death of Rajiv Gandhi, newspaper men thought with their usual ignorance that no astrologer had predicted this tragic event. Then a very decent journalist of the Times of India, Vandana Mandlekar, contacted me and after examining all the evidences, wrote in the Times of India, June 6, 1991) the following : ―In all fairness sample these hints... K.N. Rao analysing Rajiv Gandhi‘s horoscope in the August 1990 issue of the Times of Astrology wrote: ―The Pisces -Sagittarius period (June 6, 1990 to August 20, 1991) is a period of Simhavlokan, a period of total change in his political style of functioning... a time of risks and dangerous dare-devilry, a cataclysmic change which can be both fatal and spectacular‖. Rao emphasises that he had detected a primary maraka indicating death) in the June 1990 to August 1991 period. Then why did Rao word it so cautiously in his interview to another magazine in April? (―There will be attempts on the lives of big leaders‖ is all he sai d). He did not want to invite the provisions of the Anti-Terrorist Act, he explains. The Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act ironically passed by the Rajiv Gandhi government in 1987, has become the proverbial aunt Sally for astrologers now. The act, for the first time, lumped stargazers with terrorists to declare that action would be taken against whoever ―predicts, prophesises or pronounces or otherwise expresses, in such manner as to incite, advise, suggest or prompt, the killing or the destruction of any persons bound by oath under the Constitution...‖ Thus, an astrologer predicting Rajiv Gandhi‘s assassination would have been liable to a minimum of seven years‘ imprisonment. – The Times of India Rajiv Gandhi‘s death was seen by me by applying some other dashas of Jaimini (the Sthira dasha, particularly), and also the Vimshottari dasha. But the application of the Vimshottari dasha was purely classical, not the extension of the Atmakaraka of Jaimini to the Vimshottari. JAMINI ASTROLOGY - HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS - MAHATMA GANDHI KN RAO 11 November 2010, 4:13 PM Impressions of Gandhi ? You might well ask for someone‘s impressions of the Himalayas. George Bernard Shaw Mahatma Gandhiji‘s life is well documented yet the information available about his sons is scanty. Let some known events be traced through Chara Dasha. Chara Dasha Libra 02-10-1869, Scorpio 02-10-1881, Sagittarius 01-10-1892, Capricorn 01-10-1896, Aquarius 02-10-1898, Pisces 03-10-1905, Aries 02-10-1916, Taurus 03-10-1922, Gemini 03-10-1927, Cancer 03-10-1931, Leo 03-10-1943, Virgo 02-10-1954 Tula dasha (1869 to 1881) was spent in primary education but those being days of child marriages, talk of his marriage also began in this period as Darakaraka, Mercury is in the lagna, Tula, upapada is in Vrischika and DKN is aspecting Vriscika.Vrischik period was to begin at the age of thirteen next. Vrischika (1881 to 1892) He was married in this period at the age of thirteen (date of marriage is not known) as both DKN and Upapada are here. Upapada being the pada of the twelfth lord, he went to London for studies and studied law as is clear as the PK Saturn is aspected by Jupiter, the planet of law. In the dasha of Vrischika aspected by dharma guru Jupiter and AK from the ninth house, he discovered in England the richness of the Indian scriptures and from them on made the Bhagvat Gita as the source of his greatest inspiration in life. He studied all religions but the presence of Rahu in the ninth house with his AK had adverse influence and ―He returned from England in 1891 very much a ―brown sahib.‖ It being a rashi which contained his PK he also became the father of four sons whose dates of birth with dasha can be seen here. Father’s death The family faced severe economic problems after Karamchand‘s death in 1885. It was Vrischika Karka period.

But he had struggled for a career as the Amatyakaraka is in the sixth house from Vrischika. Soon the dasha was to change.

In Mithun-Karka (1977-78) he took a major decision to translate books of astrology and showed his remarkable ability to pick up languages fast and he could read and speak Hindi with a rare fluency.

Excellent aspects of Atmakaraka and Amatyakaraka on the fifth house from Karka helped him retain his zest for new astrological techniques by increasing his predictive tools which went on increasing at amazing speed till his death in 1997. Santhanam reacted badly to this statement and took it as an attack on him because he was known as the translator of the BPHS. In Vrisha Tula (1984-85) with GK in the tenth house he had many quarrels with his publisher. in the dasha results speaking of Venus or Mercury being in the sixth or eighth from Sun. A quarrel with the publisher led to his personal decision not to produce the second volume which came out later when Ranjan publishers persuaded another translator to finish it.

Extend the application of this to the rashis these two planets own and watch events in their antardasha. There was crassness. In Mesha period he was a well-known as a translator never a distinguished astrologer. I told him. I told him that technical differences of academic level would be welcome and would stimulate new lines of inquiry while his writings became a reflection of his own bitterness. Mesha Tula (end of 1991) Mercury and Venus are in Mrityubhaga. One day Santhanam dropped into my house after I had retired from service and could entertain .some hints from these books and do our own research in a very practical way and produce convincing results.Verghese. it is the practical and replicable results that matter. some controversial politicians more freely, being free now from the bondage of government‘s conduct rules. Just as he was entering, a politician in news those days was leaving saying ―I could not avoid it.‖ Santhanam recognized him and after his departure asked me if I could give him his horoscope. I hesitated but on his insistence told him that I could give it to him if he did not use it in his magazine and did not discuss the horoscope till some years after the controversy he was involved in, died down or was forgotten. He promised me that he would not use it but in the next issue of his magazine he displayed it prominently and discussed it. It embarrassed me. The politician rang me up and told me that I had betrayed his confidence and in turn I told him what happened and apologized to him. Some days later, Santhanam rang me up and asked me for the horoscope of a more important politician. I refused to give it. Again, some more days later, he wanted the horoscope of a politician of Madhya Pradesh who was in news in a very big way. I again refused it. Santhanam‘s poorest record of mundane predictions and such large failures had earned him a bad reputation as a poor predictor. He had the transparent honesty not to claim under a cloak credit for any prediction not given like his senior fraudulent contemporary running another journal from Delhi. In some of the subsequent issues he started writing against me. Our relations were soured when he asked me to prescribe the Times of Astrology for our students. I told him that we had not even prescribed the Astrological Magazine. We never met after that. No wonder his collection of horoscopes of important men was poorest, unlike Dr. Raman‘s or even mine. He depended heavily on me but never had the morality to keep his word that he would not betray confidences. We drifted apart and I now became a target of his scurrilous writing for which I never cared. For some days, the ―Delhi bug‖ as I call it bit Santhanam. He began giving sensational predictions like writing that Sonia Gandhi, now that Rajiv was shot dead in 1991, would run away from India. He even started predicted the exact number of seats a political party would secure in an election on a supposed research based on Ashtakvarga all of which went wrong except perhaps in the case of Nagaland which was approximately correct being more an intelligent guess. He thought that the Kaal Prakashika was the final word on mundane astrology and used the solar ingress chart of April every year for his annual predictions. His weakness was mundane astrology in which he did not get much success but in individual natal astrology, he did give some good predictions to some people. It was later that he decided to do some work on Nadi astrology. Santhanam continued to do excellent work in Meena period. He was at his best as a discoverer of nadi astrology. His Devakeralam was a major contribution but he did not seem to understand the secrets of nadi like the late C.S.Patel or Bhrigu by the late K.C.Saxena among the people I had met and known. I had met C.S.Patel only once, never discussed nadi but his writings are there to show his depth of knowledge. K.C.Saxena who came to my house very regularly seemed to reach a stage of very deep understanding of what he called the science of Bhrigu astrology. A belief shared among some astrologers is that those go into the understanding of nadi or Bhrigu astrology meet with tragic fate and most of them have a short life, which I did not accept. Yet when K.C.Saxena died, this belief spread more and some people asked me why did not believe it. I said in that case, even those doing non-Bhrigu astrology should also suffer. That difference continues till this day. If Santhanam had lived long he might have revived nadi astrology in a big way but the curse said to be attached to it, killed him said a young friend of mine who has understood Bhrigu rather well. Death Meena- Oct 1997 Meena-Tula (DKN) Mithuna (DK) Mercury and Venus are in Mrityubhaga. Extend the application of this to the rashis these two planets own and watch events in their antardasha. Jupiter afflicted with GK and aspected by Sun in the ninth house led to differences of opinion with his father and also to an unorthodox marriage which can be seen in many more ways. But in this dasha, the heavily afflicted fifth house with Jupiter so heavily afflicted took its toll on his health. I remembered an incident. An Angust shastri, those who can read the thumb and sometimes give amazing predictions was at my place when Santhanam dropped in, perhaps in 1984. I introduced him and asked him if he would be interested in having his thumb read. He agreed. The angust shastri said that he had met with an accident during the last one year. Santhanam said he had and it was Vrisha Dhanu in 1983. I will say it to the credit of Santhanam that he kept his mind open on such subjects and did not pass his usual quick cynical remarks as he did about others, particularly the Delhi women whom he seemed to hate for their ultra-modern way of living. The angust shastri as usual told some negative things only and referred to no achievements. After Santhanam left, the angust shastri told me that he would not live to be a sixty year old man and that he would die of an ailment of stomach when he was away from his family. I did not know how to react and how seriously to take this prediction. I remembered it in 1997 when the news of Santhanam reached me. He was the one astrologer who would have given to young astrologer‘s immense material for research on nadi astrology if he had lived. Was the curse associated with nadi or Bhrigu astrology true, I asked myself. INDIA'S INEFFECTUAL FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION KN RAO 13 June 2011, 8:09 PM My old joke that Delhites compensate their lack of sense of humor with a stronger sense of rumor is now stale because even rumors do not circulate now. Every rumor is becoming truth and rumor has no place in a society awash with gossip and corruption. It does not rankle anymore as surfeit of stories of corruption is the accepted stuff of day to day life now. There is no raging fury against it. The stories appearing in the media and the television channels make no impact because of the belief that ultimately it turns out to be a story of a thief accusing a robber, the noise accompanying and ineffective speechifying by the spokesmen of different political parties, particularly in English television channels is dismissed cynically by everyone as ineffective. (INDIAN INDIFFERENCE TO CORRUPTION AND THE COMING ECLIPSES) India‘s greed will be a story fitting into the patterns of its episodes of corruption as the eleventh is afflicted. --Pakistan will have its foreign plots and, interference of USA already exposed, in news. Will the world change? No. Old villanies will get draped in a new half visible attire only (2 Dec 2010) The above predictions based on the horoscopes of India and Pakistan are already fulfilled as after the start of the Hindu New Year has begun an agitation , ineffectual though it has been so far, against corruption in India. In Pakistan USA intervened effectively and killed Osam bin Laden and is continuing to interfere more effectively now. In the meantime what should have been an honest debate has already degenerated into a hate- spreading, fact-disorting, blatant lying campaign by Congressmen against anyone who even hints that the staggering money Indians have in Swiss banks are of Congress leaders. It is why some of the spokesmen of this party have become drain pipes of the party emitting the garbage of their mind and heart in an aggressive self-defence. Fight against corruption How the fight against corruption shaping in India is the question uppermost in the minds of Indians. First make a briefest survey. Brief history I was seven year old boy, not able to read English newspapers but as the son of a staunch Congressman, famous founder editor of pre inde- pendence era of a Congress newspaper, the Na- tional Herald, Lucknow, I had heard the name of Khurshed Framji Nariman a great fighter against corruption of Englishmen in Bombay. He could not compromise with corrupt Congressmen even in 1938, was overlooked for the chief ministership of Bombay in the brief honeymoon Indians, mainly Congress leaders, had with power even during the British rule in 1938. B.G.Kher was preferred and many people never excused Congress leaders for this decision. Nariman now remembered through Nariman point in Bombay had clearly said that the Congress party did not believe in idealism but was pragmatic politically. It is the party which has ruled India longest that can corrupt institutions and perpetuate a system which is beyond repair. The Congress has ruled, as a single party, from 1947 to 1977, then from 1980 to 1989 and from 1991 to 1996 and then has been leading a coalition from 2004 till now (2011) and is in power. Inevitably since then (1938) till now the Congress party has evolved as: Mata of corruption, Pita of corruption, Bandhu of corruption, Sakha of corruption Other political parties of India have adopted this policy of the Congress arty. To fight against this one has to be a Jai Prakash Narayan not a weak Ramdeo, who is vulnerable on many counts. Anna Hazare, a true Gandhian, is of course an effective tapasvi and is bound to achieve some success--only ―some.‖ Why ? Because Indian politicians will never decide to commit suicide collectively.

I revealed about the Nadi's prediction! . He also told a number.Aital asked him to reveal his birth star. They gave us badam milk. which she brought and gave to me. So on a fine day I hired a taxi and went to that place with my friend. I said "outside" he asked me to go & see there.

Mr.Aital asked about the members of the family he came to know that the 2nd or the middle brother's name was Vijaya Kumar who learnt astrology from Kerala as told by Nadi !!. (Kanaka=Suvarna=Gold) He went to that village & temple. (Till today also) when Mr. He asked me to tell a number. I asked him to go there. I said 9. I asked Vijay ji. The family was taking care of that temple. His sister in law recognized me and they invited us to their home. I realized that he had "Karna Pishachi Siddhi".

(Remember that I was just 30 years old then who could hardly become even the top class astrologer of world without experience of decades) He told that he could prove the black magic done on me at that spot itself and I asked to do the same.

Then he asked to keep that box on the floor which I did.Aital was also with me while getting all these readings.Vijaykumar was present and he himself explained the history of the temple.

But on that day Vijaykumar was not present in the village.to worship those manuscripts and after 1 week I could see the number of winning horses. Then my friend Mr. Vijay ji warned him not to test him and correctly predicted that he was already married and had a daughter.. He predicted many things about me and few of them were known to me only. In fact that was the needed. He asked his sister in law to bring a brand new match box. Then he asked to move the box a bit.

What do you think? Answer by Vaughn Paul: It‘s a great question. the Moon comes under the influence of both Saturn and Mars. Since very early in his life he took to sannyas (renunciate vows) and maintained the pure spiritual life throughout. it is also a house of death. The second point is that while the 8th is a house of longevity.house. being like Scorpio in the natural zodiac. the 2nd house has a transitional quality and can cause difficulty to one‘s health. Especially when you consider that planets in the 7th are just about to ―die‖ by dropping below the horizon into night. So in this sense. Of course. can also represent death. as you mention. Taking the principle that the houses opposite one another reflect the meanings of that house. the 8th (above the western horizon) and the 6th (below the western horizon). someone could die when they‘re just starting to make a lot of money! Both could happen when the 2nd house is strongly active in the chart. about trying to understand how the 2nd house or the gain of the 1st house. Taking the principle that the twelve house from any given house represents the loss of the indications of that house. The third point is that the 2nd house is a transitional house in that it represents the death of the night being just below the eastern horizon. The first being that my general experience is that astrological indications don‘t cancel each other out. That makes sense enough. the problem comes. For instance. the death of the night is generally considered a positive transition. That's kind of a long winded answer but it's such a great question and the logic seems so confusing that it seemed worth it to look at it closely. For this reason. Example of a Maraka Planet's Influence Written by Vaughn Paul Manley. I generally consider the 2nd house as less of a death inflicting maraka house than the 7th house. or life. then the 2nd house also carries the dual characteristics of the 8th house in that it can give longevity or death depending on the nature of the planets involved. I‘d be curious to know if that‘s also your experience? I chock it up to the fact that we lead complicated lives and a lots happening. is notorious for giving longevity when placed in the 8th house. the house of death. then the 2nd and the 7th houses represent the loss of longevity or death. However. James Bra ha also talks about this. which represents the birth of the body. So it‘s one of those tricky interpretations that can mean the opposite of what you‘d logically expect. the planet of death.A. For instance. Maybe this is an example of two opposing indications canceling each other out – the death of death gives life. as you mention. You‘d logically think it would be just the opposite if indeed the 2nd house from a given house represents the further fulfillment of the indications of that house. M. The other transitional houses on either side of the horizons generally cause difficulties particularly to one‘s health – the 12th (above the eastern horizon). Three things come to mind. also a house of longevity. the 7th makes more sense as a dangerous maraka house. like how Saturn. The planets in the 2nd are about to give birth when they move into the 1st house on the eastern horizon. There could be instances where that‘s the case but I usually find that both indications take effect at once. Created: 21 October 2005 . Looking at Venus from two alternate lagnas.
