the past Issues of a magazine to describe them as research without
even understanding that they were only some untested observations.
In a US visit, this Indian did not gel his talk on astrology in In*, tape
recorded lest his Ignorance be--exposed and his claims to possessing
ability io guide research. This writer's itrnllation Is that he never ever
proved that he had learnt any fine pn-dicltvc technique himself to give
to Hindu astrology a modem look which can and must Ire done. There

A tour of the USA to do astrological readings can be very
rewarding hi many ways lor them to know how primitive (hey are with
their predictive tools, with their murabo-Jumbo which Is fancifully
described as esoteric astrology.

The verdict of the next century

The Gregorian 20th century Is now drawing to a close. The
astrology that will survive In Ihe next decades will have the discipline <if

century will denounce most of the astrology writers ol this century who

was the lahoralory tfst tlxc physical scientists arc used to. Some of tlic
many conduslons they will come to will be:

N on-creative astrologer
Thai articulate astrologers of India have rarely been cncatlve They

Bhrigu or nndl astrology

The IradlllonaJ ones, particularly those who claim lo know the
secrets of D/iiipu astrology or norli prlt triples might have eunlribuied a
tremcadous .sclcntlflc methodology' in establishing the validity ol
repllcablc principles. If they really knew nadt astTology, though they
liave missed no chance to make such claims even with some published
works. Some books on nndl astrology have confused more astrologers
whose eagerness to leam these secrets have given them no definite
Ideas. It Is well-known that U Is nadf astrology which will provide rich
matrrtal for true and scientific aslrcilugy. Then, 11 becomes necessary lo
keep scanihlng these secrets. Ignoring the available litcialnir which Is
misleading: all claim and no scientific repllcablllly. a strike in Hie dark
which may hit the target.

The modern female

The society that now exists with the success of contraceptives and
women's liberation lias created the predatury female ever ready in
throw herself Inlo any type of sexual encounter. The notions that slick
to female sexual chastity and the strall-laccd uses of Hie Thnmsomsdn

has always been centred around her sexual chastity only. Tills modem

Confused understanding of 'closalcs'

The verdict of Ihc hold astrologer of the Wtrxt Gregorian century

From thai one serious mistake, the noa Inevitable leap was into

Wandering between two worlds

There is that world of old nslrnluglcal ecmrepts which arc
Hutkjualed and. (he new one yet to Ik bom. one may say. like Mathdw

Politics of astrology
Our generations will deserve to be condemned as of opportmilslle
scoundrels rnonr: anxious to prnmolr thcmselvrs than to motlrmise
Jyotisha A gang leader Indulging In astrology like the erlmlnal
politician of our era and getting respected like a patrtorch because he
has become old is some tiling resembling tile blood thirst of a tribal
head-hunter. It is a common sight now.

even an ayanamslia aeccptiiblc universally because someone's
commercial Interests are involved. There are others who have yei to

Infectious learning of astrology

Wry do people want to learn astrology? There are Ihosc in a
mlnorlly who discover in II a sp' *'ual answer to many questions, some
who haw excellent minds but ll time lo raise astrology to a high level
of intellectual excellence There a a host of greedy studcnls who want
to turn professional just as a thedeni woman does not mind tnfraelions
of sexual code in supplement her income. There arc also those failed
profcsslonAls who discover, in 1», a way of ovcivomlng tliclr technical
inadequacy.

Astrological buffoonery

oui cards arraiigcd in a row, to the TV astrologer who predicts for entire

as ihc bunbuuery of a circus clown. In India the two well-known reports
on Ihc Backward Classes 11)54 and 1980 has classified astrologers as
'bciefcuxird.' In some stales of the USA astrology is Ireaicd as
cntcrhiinmcnt with no legal Uabllily or fear of being dragged to a court
of law, There are psychics, to one of whom Princess Diana had gone to

in India and nhroad When everyone btdlirvCs tn -MIrs-and-purchase, in

What then is an astrological research?

An astrological research can be defined as;
1. Stemallg valid principles
Tlte appItcHbon of all the eternally valid principles of Hindu
astrology In enlarged prcdlcllve framework to modem world's complex
life, Its baffling educational patterns and trarrers. us sendo ccouomle
Jigsaw puzzles. IcgHllsalion of homn-scxuallly and acceptance ol

astrulugy Is a limitless repertoire of trrhniques. BvK who will do
research In all llicsc and produce them wllhout the fear of their being
eJtplnlicd commercially or, plagiarised by viTttcrs of astrology books?
2. Parameters
Every rrscajrh uiusl have luridly dcllncd paramctrrs based on
srlentllicaUy valid principles, Such parameters arc clearly spelled oul
in books like 'Planers and Chflcfrcn", PtltUiUir.g f/iroup/i JaimlnT*

5. Statistically valid research
A research proven to be vaJltl staUstlcally In GOH. eases should be
the starling point to enlarge U with slnmltaneous elimination of errors
In 4Crlti area of faliurrs. Aflcr some years, (lie same research should be
re-tested, even revised. If some errors have crept Into the data or In the
methodology of analysis.
6. Aim is 80% accurate results
When 80% accuracy Is reached 11 has to be accepted as a really
valid research, VWf. got. In many eases, a much higher percentage
already. Aiming al a hundred percent accuracy Is never pssalble for
many reasons, the main difficulty being lite accuracy of the hlrth hmr.,
7. Higher percentage can be reached
In some cases It may be possible still to reach a percentage higher
than eighty, Invarlahly. Mere It must lar rrmetnberr.d that when a
research Is liascd on a Hiutuh-rulc like observation, as will be clear
Irom the study of Rahu In the 3rd house In tills li«ok, lite cheeking is
fast and the data can also be very large. (J II is an Inlcnstvc research,
which is based on 'Jtirga charts or more Uian one daslia, concentration
should be on the synthesis and not on the vastness ol tlic data.
8. Enlarged predictive framework
Then one can enlarge (he predictive Iramework which Is the need
for llie complex life ol our age. Jyotisha alone can provide It, Hindu
astrology being the most developed. It Is possible with the younger
generation of astrologers learning more and more techniques to do it.
9. Group research
The group research is jiiust uscfuL Tliough In the rescarrh paper
published the Instances given arc in the multiples of five. In the actual
class room testing the figure reached crosses many hundreds. In thai
sense, (hese research papers will be the bcaeon lights for astrologers In

by Saturn from the 11th house confirmed his reading of a
communal frenzy of that fortnight. Mars would retrograde
after four days. Mercury, as already shown, will move back,
get into direct motion and re-enter Vrischika. Sometimes, he
gave the chart and gave no reason. He had the mortification
of seeing his predictions being lifted by an astrologer, who
publishes his man Ptuu/uingii lifting Hardeoji's predictions
bodtly. Then Jlardenji started publishing bis Permkr/nga last.
There were some court cases also between them. I knew what

over-cautious as he saw the danger of plagiarism by uncouth

the shape future would take. He talked of Salurn and Rahu being In
kendras. Earlier, In tils youlh he displayed his tceluiUiuca In his
writings, hi later years he stopped It when a Jealous astrologer lifted
bodily his predictions and brought his own Panchanpa. After thai be
made sure lo take some precautions:
a. He bmught out his Panc/inagm iasl lu the market as lair as March
while others not conQdenl like him tiial their Ptmehonpos would be
sold, ramc oui In January with disastrously bad predictions
b. He did not discuss his tcehnlques of cfiokras .
c. Worst still, he only icteiried lo bad or good planetary eomblnalions
and predicted aiicmafely with rldrtly and precision
d. And then like the puritanical Braiimin hf> was he ended with a
sermon Invariably, "Prny to die GoddessJor better deetsiarts b(; the
men in pomor".
I had lo cast many astrologlrai charts to understand what lit was
saying and why. Let me show three of such exercises, which I hod to do,
aniong many, to understand his predu dims, I did mmiy original
researches in roundanc astrology and discussed diem with him. Here 1
am presenting a piece of my research based on Hardcolis hlnis.
He used many cliakras. one of which Sonphntfo Roshi chakras
shows a very new type of aspects which he used In Itme events in
mundane- astrology, Using 11. he mode a ptrdkilon alxnii the last week
of May 1964 as fatal (or Jawahartal Nehru who died on 27 May. 1964
In 1991, he made a slmlLir predlcUou, one yenr advance, about (he.
communal situation in LLP leading to Hie dismissal of the guverurneut
of Utlar Pradesh. Ttu* Ramjannia Bhoorai was m news, the Babrl
sirucfurc was demolished Dccrnihrr 1992.
I too had made this prediction for a Hind) weekly, months In
advance. Hut my basts was the analysis of (he planetary position of 6
December. 1992 when the Vtshwa Hindu I'art shod had announced Its
agitation at Ayodhya.
Later, ray attention was drawn to Hante.ops predictlun. Knowing
his technique, I analysed 11 and had a clear nnswrr. how he could make
this prrdiction, one year In advance
On 24 November 1992, a Tuesrlay, the New Moon cliaft showed
1. Conccntraton ol malcJir inlluences along the Vrlsha-Vrischika and
Saftira-Kclt/ Conjuncttoni Ptw T^stfiswjuet o' Astretostca' PreSiaiont Vo< Gno
Karka-Makar axis.
2. In this fortnight there would be three 'I'licsdays.
3. Saturn and Mars aspcctlng each other was bad enoiirjli but Mars
would retrograde on 28 November
4. Mercury, already retrograde, would re-enter Tula Crora Vrlschlka
and re-enter VtlBchilta.
5. Venus would, entered Makar. a day before, under double ailllcUon.
First by jolnlng Satum and then Its aggravation through the aspect
of nilragrade Mars.
6. On tile Sanghatla raslu chakra It was not so bad but on Sanghalla
nakshatm etiakrn II dearly pointed towards disaster in lite state of
Ultar Pradesh according lo his own ncscarch.
7. The other rhakm he made use of was Kaiyjoor Chakra which 1 have
not seen. He had lost It or. someone had stolen from his house-
He did It for nil the fortnights of the coming year, examined the
aspei^iH on various rliaknis and evaluated his readings of the cfl'cuts of
planets on politics, slock market, general Tnarkcl and weather In five or
six sentences he wrote out those readings. Once In a while, he quoted
some Sanskrit stanza In support of his readings. His classicism was so
rich that almost for any fdrtnlght. he could quote a shloka.
I have given an example already before.
Sec that again to re-lcam a valuable lesson.

dangerously close In Mccna.
3. Note how these two pairs of planets arc at 07° each and are
opposed exactly to each other, one pair of malcflcs to the other pair
of malcflcs. India and the world will have to face this situation for
the period: January to June 1997.
This was the famous astagrnha after which India suffered worst

Start with these examples and apply them conststently to the

other horoscopes yiuen in this paper. Read standard hooks of
history and check and re~check your facts. Read more titan
one book so that you are able to get the opinion and
assessment of different schools of thought In Indian history
for instance, me hone the naUanalist historians and now the
'Nehru' brand of leftist historians who want to portray the
invading plunders of western Asia as noble men mith chantable
disposition and. eoen religious tolerance. Earlier, we had the
thiperialist-lusiorian mh«se sole aim was to wield their pen as
psychologically efj'echue pen to create in the suh/ect races a
feeling of inferiority in their omn culture Their attitudes
conflicted, their interprcfotions if rend together give to us an
ugly intricate pattern of an ugly Itistorical carpet on mhich
generations of Indian students trill be fed But pick up the
correct dates from these books, and apply the astrological
principles given bejore. >tiu see mhal tins actually happened.
Tftal is the superiority ofjyolisha.

Venus Is aflllctcd or, the entry of Venus In Gemtnl coincides with other
serious afflictions In the horoscope of India The planet \fenus Is the

Entry of Venus in Mithuna -

Harbinger of tragic moments in Indian History
While it is clear that alTllctlon to Venus causes serious problems
in the history of India. It can now be seen that entry of Venus in

MlllluaB lg a Dcrlp-ri to be waidicd wtth concern. It Is a period of trials
and tribulations for the central government as (he following events
would show
I. We have already shown In the earlier example that when Nehru
died on '27Ui May, 1954. Venus was stationary in Gemini about to
retrograde with Rahu-Krtu axis. Saturn was in the 10th house.
II. At the time of death of Sanjay Gandhi on 23rd June, 1980, Venus
was retrograding in Gemini to enter Taurus to rcerlve the aspect of
Salum from Leo.
hi. When, the govemmcni of Morarjl Desat fell In July 1979. Venus
was In Gemini and Mars was preparing to enter tills sign.
Iv. To take a irecut ease in 1995, Venus was In Gemini from 5th May,
1996 to 4(h June, 1996 and 3lst July 1996 to 1st September,
1996. During tlila period the following events took place which
affected the polity of India,
v Himachai Pradesh Governor Sheila Kaul was made to resign on
21st Api111996. in the walce of CB1 enquiry agalnsl her In bousing
scanr
vt. CB1 charge-sheeted five hundred persons lucludlng senior officers
in animal husbandry and fodder seam In Bihar,
vll. Tire second phase of general election of 11th Lok Sabha was
marred by violence and shoot at sight orders In Bihar and part UP.
vlli. Chandraswnrnl, dc-sciitvctl as godman. was arrested on 2tid May.
1996.
IX. Governor of UP and Kerala. Mod Lai Vohra and Shlv Shankar
restgncd when they were charge-sheeted In the Ilawaia case.
x. President dissolved lOlli Lok Sabha on 10th May, 1996 and
accepted the resignation of P.V Narasimlia Rao.
xi, The Congress Par ty suffered the worst humiliation of Us career and
lost elections not only at the centre but also tn most of (he slates.
It lost control In Haryana, Assam. Karoataka. Maharashua.
Ptrnjah, Tamil Nadu etc.
xll Atal Blhari Vajpal of IklF was swum In as Prime Minister on l#th
May. ISS7.
rail- His reign lasted only fhineen days and he had to resign on 28tli
May, 1996.
xtv. The twenty one member United Front coalition govemmcni led by
H.D. Devc Gowda took oath on 1st June. 1996
xv. Pakistan dcploycil M1 1 missiles against India on June 13. with
capability to hit New Delhi,
xvl. On June 11. Supreme Court directed CB1 to proceed against P.V
Narasimlia Rao and his colleagues in JMM ease.
Now the qucntlon is why transit of Venus in Gemini only is so
enigmatic and dramatic. In the horoscope of Independence of
India, if SarvTLstnka la cast along with Bhinnaahtaka, it will be
observed that in Moon's Bhim ishl ki the sifpi Gemini has O
(zcroj point, Gemini is also the weakest house in Sarvaatoka

It must be remembered that in any ascendant Moon is the
mind, while lagna lord is the body. Thus the transit of Venus in

astrology and religion because of tiiclr profound Inllucncc on earthly
lives, inillvlduaily as seen In natal charts and, on the world we live In.
Saturn's influence Is made use of for mundane predictions.
Sufum, Ihc deity, seems to have held a high place in Hindu
rcliglan under dlllcrent names by virtue of being the biggest of planets
(Hcrschcl. Pluto and Neptune are not used In Hindu astrology) and also
being the slowest of planets. Its effective Impact on terrestrial events Is
felt for a long time.
It can be surmised that iu byrone aces, when Qbservadon was

To understand 11. wr have to refer to our Punmas which Is otir

are told as stories which enthraU us and. wltli remedial measures

convert an adversity into a boon. It Is science and practice, fear and

Emerging Patterns
1. In all the eases of mental Illness tile Moon la aflllclcd by upgnihas,
Hjc Moon Is IrK-alcd with upgmlwa in Tour eases and Is also
hemmed by npgralias in one ease.
2. Nakshatra dlsiiosltor of (he Moon is lilvailahly either aflllclrd !>)•
Upgrahas or connects to another planet afflicted liy upgrahas by
position, aspect or conjunction- Such a planet in him influences
the Moon adversely. This appears to lie a combination occurlng al
birth I (self.
3. When the Monn is located wilh upgrahas. the rmtlvc seems to be
prone to mental Illness. Whenever Maiiadaslta. Anlardasha or
Pralyantardasha lords, wlio are posited with upgrahas, luDucncc
the Moon Irrespective of liiclr natural finalities, the Mofin suffer
adversely and the native tends to suffer from menial imbalance.
4. Even a natural bcncfic posited with upgrahas docs not seem to
ran eel (he affliction but dilutes and rd times gives only temporary
relief.
5. Upgrahas appear lo establish adverse nexus involving various
bouses and their lords or significations and slgnlficators pointing
to the cause and genesis of menial illness.
6. Lords and Houses In the grip of upgrahas cany their Interlinks in
the divisional charts also.
7. Saturn located with upgralias and inlliicneUig the Moan causes
depression. When Mars Joins such a combination, the native
becomes aggressive.
8. When the Moop Is "surrounded" by upgralias It seems to cause
phobia as in case V.
9. The Rahu-Kelti axis appears to be as malefic as upgrahas when It
comes to mental illness.
Note: People with history of mental illness have not been
forthcoming. Some who came forward became hesitant later when
approached for further research

Meenakshi Raut

[A published research of Meenakshi Raut in 1990 (which has

been lifted by a writer in J996) This has been slightly enlarged
by K..V. Rao under whose guidance this research was done.)
TTic terra AfrUijuWioija mmeccssarily strikes fenr in the hearts of
ihose astrologers why never used It . The truth Is that some astrologers
UU1 refer to tt lit (lie books (hey wrote, lifting U out of many south
Indian books on astrology, Mrdiarshl hsrashani never mcnUoncrt
nraityubhaglMJB). Yet. someone had In sec wfrether (l worked. It ts given
In Prashna Marg.
As fat as 1 know no one ever showed how U was used hi actual
prcdlclJons till I did it, First In my attlrle on Amitabh Bachchan and
later. In the Ttcu/edy oj a Predirlion as far hack as 19S4. In the Hindi-
speaking area I wrote out an article (or the larnous Vishuxj Vijay
Panchanga also, In the eighties, Littr, working under my guidance.
Meenakshi Raut wrote tour articles on die use ot Mrtri/uhhogn. which
arc reproducer! here,
But lu the meantime. I discovered that a wrong use q/"nrfffyabfmga
by so moon o tWio nooer worked on ft for years, has created tifrujht in the
hearts of dttoso who Uuniyht liml they uvrf tjexng lauyhl some t7n?at
secrets. That apprehension must be removed now
I taught It to students of astrology in the Bharatiya Vtdya
Bhawan, New DclhU so rue of whom used It m their writings also.
The word mritifu means death but planets in mrityubhaga do
not cause death unles- Indications of dirath are present hi tiic dash a
scheme tlsclf. Ilicrcforc. to allay such [cars, two contrasting examples
arc being shown first..
The word mrfluubhctya should not frighten anyone flow It was
dlscovenvl Is what caimof (x: espkUucd liy any astTolngcr. Slncr it Is
given In some books 1 svarthed in vain to see how It was applied, I
found no research, riien 1 did my own and Meenakshi followed tt up.
After ) taught It to many and asked them to produce a research
Covering more areas Ulan Meenakshi did. No progress was made. Sec
contrasting examples should be seen.
The first example; A Swedish woman astrologer who does
astmlogy wed asked me to explain why was the girl sulferlng from

96

some mild sickness which no doctor was able to diagnose. 1 asked her
to check If any planets were In mrityubhuga. She found oul that the
Sun at 03022 was nearest to mriiyubfmga according to the table I hat!
modified. (See part 3 qfMeenaksJii's articleJbrthisf Furliicr, Jupiter at
28° 15 too was in n irii yubh agcr Tills Romanhm girl entered the dash a of
the Sun from 23 May 1996. No further details about her ailment art-

In die second example not a single planet is in mntyuhharja V-t

Sec the spiritual combinations In the horoscope first. There arc

four planets In the 8th house with the 10th lord but in the 8th house
which generally means that In his previous life he could not complete
his sadhano. But Mercury within the range of combustion shows some
difficulties in this life's sodhana also.
From the Kdrolcamsha. Mlthunm four planets In the 8th house
are aspccting the 12th house while from the navamsha of the
Amalyakaraka. Slmha. four planets In the 6th house do show the
keenness of the boy for at spiritual so early in his life. The only son of a
rich lather, he lost Interest In studies and Immersed himself in

salvation (muktij. He did Iris sadhann late in the night and became a
recluse as I know personally, as he was the class mate of my nephew.
See his span of life.

TWo conclusions lhal can be drawn in ihc. appticaiion of Mil hit:
1. 1( aJTccts the signification of Ihc planet concerned and
2. Affects the ownership of the house of the plancl concerned
These two principles repeat themselves during the dasha and
anlardasha of the planet in MB. When we speak of the dasha we are
applying only the Virnshottari mahadaslia here and no other dasha.
Now (Ex. 7) the three charts given may be Seen,
t. In the birth horoscope the Sth house and the nth lord from Lagna
arc badly aflllcied.
2, Jupiter being in laigna, the same results as from Lagna repeat
themselves.

mnniagt survived somehow because of the aspect of Jupiter on the

A question naturally arisen- What about the wiles horoscope?
In the Wauamsha
a. The 5lh liouse has Mars though 11 is a spec led by lite Moon and
Jupiter.
b. The 5lh lord Venus Is wllh Ketu and Is aspccled by Mars and the
Sun Ft is also In the Bth house. So terrible Is the aiTLlcUon.
c. From Jupiter, the 5th lord of the Navninsha Is the Sun conjoined
with Rahu,
fn the Sapt-amsha
Tlic Saptamsha presents the most depressing picture,
a. The 5th house from Lagtia and the Moon Is a spec led by Satuiri
who In lunt is conjoined wtilt Ketu.
b The bth lord Venus is ■with Rahu aspectcd by Saturn,
c. Hie S1.h house from Jupiter is aspccted by Its own lord Mars. So
Uur aialcQc Inllueucc of Mars may be said to be less.
Here Moon Is In MB, a speedily 5th house In Navamsha and
conjunct with Rahu. In Saptamsha Moan Is tr» Uigna.
Wial Is Hie effect of It? Jupiter Is a natural putruFcaraJca in
asltulogy His close association wllh Rahu Is bad als II is.Thc Jupito--
Raliu conjunction has thus become worse. In turn the Rahu-Ketu axis
fidls along the tagna-seventh house axis.
Tins horoscope belongs to a DeUil artlst-palntcr who has settled
down in Parts having married a French woman. He married late and a
woman Ihrec years senior to hlra In age. In Jupttcr-Moon period when
their only daughter was hardly two years old 11981 August to 1982
December) doctors gave the ftnal verdict that their daughter who was
partly Invalid physically had also become partly Invalid mcntany a]fin.
The agony of the parents increased which was natural, Jupiter being In
Lagna and a Is." Ingris Jard the father f ell sick also, suffering the agony
and his work, output of paintings, fell down steeply.
"Hie homscopc of the wife [E*. 8> should be seen keeping In mind
the discussion of the horoscope of tire husband. First, briefly In rashl.
lire 5lh house has no malefic aspect and the 5th lord Is with two
bencfics. Venus and the Moon, which Is very good. But the Bth house
from Jupiter contains Saturn aspectcd by Mars. Same ts the posldon
from the Moon which is conjoined with Jupiter.
. In the uavamsha, the Bth house Is aspectcd by Saturn from the
8th house while the Bth lord Jupiter is aspectcd by Mars From
JupUer. Saturn and Sun are lit the Bth house receiving the aspccl of

by Mars,
In the saptamsha, the 5th house and the 5th lord Venus receive
the combined aspects of Satum and Mars. The 3th house from Jupiter
Is free from any affliction while the 5th Ion! Moon is with Ketu, From
the Moon the 5th lord is Saturn with Mars.

Mrityu Bhaga
But the most striking point of this horoscope Is that Jupiter, here
Is putrakaraka doubly, being a natural Icarnfcn for children and also the
5th lord here Is In MB So Is the Sun.
Now the dasha periods of husband and the wife may be seen
together to see why and how their tension increased between 198!-
1983.
Husband: JupUer-Moon 28-6-81 to 26-12-82.
$3fe: Satum-Sun 11-4-82 to 24-3-83.

II has Ix'fii already stated tJiat husband's Moon Is la MB. while

Ihc wife's Sun is la MB These two roinctdrd in 1982 when flic doctors
deelareii thai the ailment of the rhild was incurable and the mutual
tension between the husband and wife Increased.
The marriage is surviving because in the horoscope of the
husband Jupiter is asperting the 7ih house and the 7fh lord. While in
the wife's hort.-seope Jupiter Is asjjcelmg the 7th lord In the 6th house.

Timing of event
When will (he effects ol a planet be felt is the primary question. It
eaanot be and is not a life long t-lTet t but only periodical. To time It, I
have Ix-ca taught three methods,
a), hi the dasha and anlarilasha of the planet In MB even in Us
prau/oaiom dasha.
h). When the period, dasha or anlardasha of the lord of the rashl la
which a planet is MB is placed.
All these pnnelples are illusiraleil in the hiiMiscn|ie (Ex. 9} given.

Conclusion
Tlic conclusions that can be drawn are that a planet In MB.
a). Aflfccts the house in which he is placed.
b). Ailects the karakatwa of tiie planet. Sun (CatherJ, Moon (motlier.
ralnd) Mars (brolltcrs. land) e9c.
r). Passes on its influence to the lord of the house in which it is
placed.
What happened if the wife's horoscope is available and the
husband's is not there because birth details are not known? Since
destinies arc Interlinked the event can still be traced.
The next question is what happens if a planet in the horoscope Is
in MB. but there Is neither the dasha nor the antordashn of the planet
In MB running?
Tile unfailing principle taught to mc is observe two points:
a). Is the suh-iir-riod (antar dashal canjnincfll or_.^spcctol_by„3.J?la-UCi
in MB?
b) Are two male lies in transit asoectinfi a planet hi MB?
11 the above two conditions are Inifilled some mishap takes place
which looks like a big tragedy. But one need not be alarrncd.

Given here is the horoscope of housewife. (Ex. lOJThis ease had

become very sensational In the last week of December 1988 In Delhi.
I had returned from the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan with Mr. K.N.
Rao where, he after teaching his students Jaimlnl astrology, had Jus'
returned home, when outside Ids house two ladies met liim and one of
them told, him that, her husband, the proprietor of the cinema In Delhi
had been kidnapped at gun point on December 24th. Mentally he made
llic horoscope for the proshna of 25th December 1988 evening around
perhaps 5 P.M and told her that her husband was safe, alive and would
be brought back home by police in the forlnlghL On 5.1.1989. the
husband was rescued by a police party from the clutches of dacolts of
the notorious Charabal valley in Madhya Pradesh.
As usual, the horoscope of the kidnapped proprietor of the
cinema was demanded but there was no horoscope. Then the wife's
horoscope was given.
Here two points arc noticeable. On 24th December 1988 when her
husband was kidnapped, transit Mars was In Pisces asncctlng the
housewife's Satum in MB In the 8th house- Satum from Dhanu was
also aspcctlng natal Satum In Virgo.

Thus two conditions given here arc fulfilled. Now, the Blh house
represents conjugal happiness and here there ts ercchangc between the
7th and 91h lords. In that sense she Is lucky to have a prosperous
husband. But the 7th lord, debilitated. Is with the Blh lord. It is
generally seen that In a girl's horoscope if the 9ih lord Is In the 8lh
house her marriage becomes unfortunate. Here tire 9th lord is well
placed, but the presence of Saturn in MH in the Sth house is a factor
which cannot and should nol be ovcrkinked

 THE AMERICAN 'PRINCE' DIES
(JFK Junior)

K.N. Rao

The prince is dead, that unofficial American prince about whom

we knew so lltlic in India ill! our newspapers cairied lile headline (hat
the plane he had been travelling in was unlraceablc. Came then an
avalanche of news coverage about him and finally the report of his
death, falling (rom aerial heights brio an ocean to end up his life with
his wife and sister-in-law in a watery grave.
Wise In rrtrospcct. an attempt could sllll Ire made In see it all In
the available liocoscope. presuming it to be cotreeL
Tn the USA. rcpoitcd Indian newspapers, his death was being
compared to the tragic end of hrlnccss Diana. It nevr-r app>ealeri to
Indians to compare the two. Hindus do not excuse a woman who
dlsturhsan entire family when she walks tinl ofa royal household (or
her own physical-sexual needs.
JKFjr did not have such ji tuisavoury reputjillou. Indian
newspapers had sympathy for rum. lite stories of his stay In India in
the eighties, we never Knew about, were rccolleclrd and (lie Uivc the
Prince had lor India, particularly her spirituality, were recalled and
niated.
The main reason India had stich overwhelming sympaihy for him
was tile fact Ural he was the son of the famous American pn-sident, JF
Kennedy whom Indians remember with love and respect. 11 shocks the
Indian to hear of the US publishers bring out even three decades alter
the death of President Kennedy his atx scnfulals and not even allow
Marilyn Monroe to rest peacefully in her grave. Compared to all that
was JKFjr's low profile. Did Americans like It in their rouniry known
lor Ixjlsterous blasts of high publicity?
Americans have always had a hunger lot royalty and a continuing
dynasty which they never can have because of their tustoiy In the
Kennedys they saw something of that fragmentary shadow of royalty
which makes one feel less pleblan.
What was II (hat made JKF/r not take to politics or run for the
Senate when It was offered to hlra?
Writer, author, actor and with as a BBC story on him described.
IDs sense of humour, "wrv, dry- and droir. he seemed to luivr moved

Junior JFK was In India In early dailies, reported Indian
newspapers. He lived In PaharganJ area of Delhi, not meant for
aristocrats. Favourable and heart m-ovlng accOUnl of tils years In India
have appeared In India. Those; days I lived near that area and so many
people from embassies, also US. used to come |a me. No one told me
thai Junior JFK was in India collecting material on Indian democracy.
He met the then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, and also the
President, Zail Singh, both of whom according to a television
programme failed to Impress htm. For Indians, he was the son of
President JFK whom Indians loved and admired. When I was a child. It
wa* FDR who won admiration of Indians. In my middle age. It was
President JFK after which there has bceil dlhcr hostiUty or Indifference
towards US presidents with their and-lndla slaltcc.
So, the tlcalh o! JFK junior Is the dealh of the son ol an admired
and loved JFK senior.

Fresh looking and with disarming candour, he shook hands with

"What do you like about India?" f asked him, trying lo engage blrn
In a l oiivcrsalluti "Oh everything... 1 like specially the spirituality
of the conimon people.'* he said.
He went on. "I have visited several ashrams and I really liked
some of them."
Have yon gone to any ashrams In the South? And have you met

me Ills horoscope The afflicted 5th house and the Dasha of Moon/
Jupiter could mean anything No occasion arose to give him
predictions Once when he had met me In Delili In 1988 lie was as
though suffcrtng some mental torment (Moon/Hahu). Then too no
prediction was given. He went back to Bhubaneshwar and then I
learnt about the tragic event.

all these cases. I had got my clues from the horoscopes of some Italians
who rmmultcd rac whenever they visited India and. whose heavy
Investment in shares in USA has been to thcrn both their source of Joy
and anguish.
My story, of course, here revolves round an Indian family. Here 1
have the advantage of having (liree horoscopes (hrougli which 1 can
show rcsftcctlvcly how lite composite approach can be done. A
prediction was given. When It was fulfilled the event was braced

So U Is a oorablnatlon of a prediction fulfilled and supplementary
details gleaned through post mortem cxnntlrratlnn of other horoscopes.

The Prediction
First see the horoscope of the boy
The father of (he boy whose horoscope will be given later, was
Cltlcf Secretary. Dellil Administration m October 19S4. (lale S.C.BaJpal
who died In August. 1997) I had gtven him a prediction of some

He and Ids two children, elder one a son and the jwunger. a daugher.
and his own wife (Mrs. S.C. Bajpal) have been taking astrological
consultations from me for nearly eight years stow.
It may have been March or April 1987 or slightly later, when (Jut

something about himself. He was passing Lhruugh Hahu/Saturn

I advised him not to indulge in speculation lor so me Mine as
neither the Dashas nor transits Wen: favourable for earning money.
Heavy losses could prove disastrous, 1 told hlm.
1 had three other reasons to come tn ihls conclusion
a. In Chara t>asha he would be running Tula/Kanya. From Kanya
concentration of planels In Uw 12th house could nal be a peilod of
gains.
h. If 1 tried Trikona Dasha starling from Slmha and calculated It like
Chara Dasha between the 26tli and the 28th ycai It would be Makara
Dasha from where a mnccniTabon of planets would be In the 8lh
and 12Ui buuses
c, ll I went by Vlmshottari Dashn he was soon to run Into (hcsiib-snb-
pcrlod of Sim which was tn the Mrltyu-hhaga, The Sim In M.B as

9th also I wing the liousc ol hlgficr education could prove bad for
him, It bclnga Laksbmlstharw would it affect finances. In This cast,
speculation? The placomcnt nf die Sun Ln the 5lh house in

Anyway the boy left for tjondon
Snmcllmr., towards the rag-end of the third week of October. 1987
I he father of t he boy came to consult me The (KiV had lost 250

Speculation, was the answer.
And the boy had also tailed tn lilis cmmlnatlon. But later made a
career. On 28-2-1988 the boy became a qualified chartered accountant
In London and ts now employed in a big bank. Upfo tills was liic prediction
given and fulfilled

My curiosity stirred, 1 tried tracing the event In the horoscope of the

He hadjusi started the dashaof Menrurv, his 5lh lord which was In

Sister's Horoscope
Now what does the sister's horoscope reveal? She was passing
through Juplin /Moon (198G Id 1988) and her Moon Is In M B. But how
will U rjcplain (lie distress of her elder brother? Tills can be seen In llircc
ways:
a) In dreshkorui, the Moon Is in the 8th house and Mercury In the 2tid
fltthu? into the classical dictum of Mercury In the 2aid asoect.cd by
Moon from the 8th house spelling financial ruin.
b) In Chara dasha It was Makara clash?, frnm where her BK, Satnnu Is
tu the 2nd Capricorn while (he 1 Hit house contains Ketu.
c) The sub-period In Cliasa Daaha was of Cancer from where the BK Is
In Uic 8tli house aspcctrd by Mars and Venus.
Before I conclude, this article let me respectfully mention here that I
have applied Chara Dasha to fc.majc horoscope rxacily as 1 do to male
horo-socipes and thai Chara Das ha need uai be applied dincreinly to
female horo-scopes But I will keep my mind open and try die method of
Mr Rangacharya whose method may be sujxrlor, A genuine scholar
slhnutales tti mr much greater /r-st for astrological research than those
that merely (heortse and do not illustrate with practical Sioroscopc.

How fatal or how less fataJ will be (he period of a planet In

MniyKbhopa (MB) Is not easy to prediot. But If many other factors are
also dangerous, the dasha of the (»tancl In MB can Ik*. I he heghming of
a major mishap or a hagedy
L have been cautioned to observe the following:
a Generally If a beadle, uuaspccled by a malefic. Is In MB It may
prove mllcDy trouhlesomr,
I). But ti such a btnefic has malefic associaUnn It may prove
troublesome.
c On the other hand. If Jupiter Is Hspecling planets in MB chances
of surviving critical periods ait; very' brlghL
Fnmi Mr. K N Rao't dala fwo contrasllng tnstances are shown:
tn 1970, Use lady of the horoscope £x.lla) and Ex.Kb) was
running Moon-Venus. She was hospitalised twice and operated upon
twice during this period
The case history was. In Moon Mercury she liad devclnpcd-
serious aflllctlon, appendicitis. It was controlled through medicine.
Bui in Moon-Venus it burst and she hovered on the precipice of death.
T\vo noteworthy jroluls here arc;;
a. Two plane-Is are In MB Venus and Mercury, but bath are a spec ted
fiy Jupiter.
b. Saturn was In Ixro In 1979 when she suffered physically atid nearly
died, lu 1979 butli Rahu and Salum were In Leo transiltliig her
natal Mercury in MB and from tlicre SfUum aspecfed her natal
Venus also in MB.
In 1982, she had c«tDe la consult Mr. K N Rao wlien she had lost
hopes of surviving. What can tin astrologer do? Bui hope had existed
In a rather extraordinary way In October and November 1982 as
explained to tnc_ Strong planetary grounds existed In this ease for hope.
In Octubcr 1082, she was passing through Mars-Mercury' period
and she had to undergu a third operation within three years. The
planetary position, frightening, was also not without hope.
Now Saturn 2 54'. was going to transit Venus in mrttyuhhcipo. Did
three benefirs Jupiter. Venus and Mercury were there too and soon (he
Moon would transit Into Mesh a and also aspect Venus Of the talnlr

128
Tine/TecJwilques of AsMoglcal Prsc<SiQrif'/oi One MRITfUQhfiGA fWPT in
horoscope on the day fixed for tier third surgical operation. Doctors
had told her relatives to be prepared (or the worst as (he chances of
survival In such cases were one or two percent only,

Strong Points of Lagna

Now the siroag paints in tltc horoscope axe:
a. The Lagna has a bencflc in die 12.ih house and a waxing Moon In
the 2nd from 1L
b. SimHarly the 7th house has un trsaJeflc, (he 8lh house Is blank and
Ketri Is in the 6th house. Malefics in 3.6.11 arc good for longevity.
c. In tc^ndros. there arc two bcncflcs. Jupiter and Mcteury.
d. Both Lagna lord and the 8th lord In kendra an: also as peeled by
Jupiter,
In 1982 there was no danger but ten or twelve years later there
would be was the calculation, as nored down In his regtster. The
prc-dlction proved correct. The lady survived the operation and eight
years have since passed. Her health, of course. Is maintained through
aver-medication.
Having said that let me now give the modified table of MrUyuJbhagas.
I was told that 11 Is hsscd on his experience and II I felt the nerd m
alter it I should do It boltllv bul with iniellectual Itoncstv. At the
moment f am using the table as It is.
The need to modify the degrees of Mrllyuhhaga for platteis arises
because of Uie following facts;
a. No planet will be. say exactly twenty degrees In Mesh a as lor Ihv
Sun to be in MB, It will be some minutes more or less,
b Different aynnnmshos are used by diflcrcnl nstrologcrs. Tlicnc are
mon: than six hundred panrhangcrx In India each giving flllfcrt-ul
degrees of planets. We have followed the ayannrnshn ol l^hlri
which has given us subslantiHlty correct results,
c. Birth time noted could be inaccurate. Sonic flexlbfilcy has to bc
introduced and the birth time eotTceled.
d When a particuUir event Is not explained easily there could tx-
some difference, minor (huugli. in the blrtli-timc and consequently
In the degrees of the Moon. Mercury and Lagna particularly", to a
lesser cxteni in the. degrees of the Sim and Venus. In a still lesser
extent in the degrees of Mars; and in the ease of Salum and
Jupiter the dlffcrcnec Will be (lie least,
e In the case of Rahu and Kely only true tnoi meanl Kahu has given
us results.
f. 'flic blggcsl problem created Is by Miindl. All computers In fJrlln
arc giving ihc degrees rllffercally .nul vw can rely on none.

Scheme of Modification: Notes

Mr K N Rao admiLs that he has used
a. In the case of the Moon, Mercury and lagna add or deduct
forty minutes and see whether a fatal event is explained.

129
MRITVUBHAGA {PART - (V) Frner Tecftmques of Asfoloffcal Proetoiione VW One
b. In the case of the Son. it should be around twenty minutes
either way, plus or minus.
c. Saturn. Jupiter. Rahu and Kctu too have to be corrected upto
a minimum ol IS minutes either way.
d. Mandi as calculated by an expert cos be modified like Jupiter
at the most. But Mandi Is mostly calculated wrongly-

Test it; Then test It

I Sec If the dasha. antartlasha or even prntyanlnrn daslm ol a planet
reveals at) unpleaaani or falal event.
2. Test It further by seeing If a planet In MB Is in association with
another planer to whom it Ira a passed on 11a malefic functloiL
li. Test It and see when aspcctlng or transiting planets are in MB and
when the unhappy event has taken place.

Cautton
Do not overemphasise the role of MB, But do not overlook It also.

A Reverse Case (Ex. 2|a) and Ex. 2(b)

Just reverse all lire principles I have piven. (n tfits case Mr.
Rao made no prediction, only he told me privately it is a very
cruical case. This young man is lovable, so spiritual-..Uiefl .
Tu-V) times some VtsJinu-aahastranamam rcctraltoas mere
arranged Jor tilm and both times he somehoiv could not eoen
attend it I Was tfmt cui indication mf something sinister? These
are 111-omens. When something is specially arranged for
someone and both times he (alls to (urn upl You have not to
give any astrological prediction. Destiny Is Indicating
something perhaps '
In this horoscope other than planets there were two fatal points
which Were no! taught to me "There Is no hopi- . told Mr. Rao In me
personnJly.' but I am under instruttlons from my spiritual guru, Swaml
Paramimanda Saraswatl never to tnalte such predictions"
In the horoscope given, this person was running (he dasha of
Mars. When he developed some altmrnt In the stomach It was not
surprising. In die dasha of Use 5th lord one can have shoola toga'
which can mean stomach aliment or even camxrr.
Was Mars, a poynkoroka a maraka also ? Yes. was the answer.
I low?" ( asked him Mars Is the best yacjakaraka far Cancer
abcenrJanl and how has be become a momkaT' There arc some special
considerations. From lagna tiic Sun and Saturn arc the 2nd and die
7(h lords, From (he Moon 11 Is Venus For Cancer l-agna. Venus can be
bad. Rahu fitttl Saturn can be bail uncamlltlonal marakas for anyone.
There Is some mote research to be done In rlclrrrnlnrttlon of
marakas Bui how he wished his astrological reading to go wrung. He
wanlcd to give up astrology many times but some saints persuaded
hlin nut to do it.

b. Mars the dasha lord was the maraka here. How. it was not clear to

L Planets In MB give maximum trouble In the sub-periods of
marakas. Interestingly the planet In MB docs not behave so
tnalevoleiuly tn its own dasha. It acts so only in (Is anlanlasha.
11. If the dashas of the 6th, 8lh or 12th lords arc on. the sub-periods

Now on January IOth L989 tiir planetary portions wouJd be as
below, -
Here Mars having transited over the Sun in (MBJ. At the end of
Mars Dasha this young man died in January 1989. II made everyone of
us unhappy. He was a lovcable man and has left behind a swept
memory.
Now these contrasting'Instances prnvr that when benches arc.
Iransthng over or aspecllng planets In MB there Is hope
But no alarm!si view of planets in MB should be taken unless
there arc other malefic combinations In a horoscope. Planets in MB can
be bad only durinfl rliclr suh-peririds. W; have sren no Instance of a
whole dasha of a planet in MB brcornlua bad.
A waratng, also lesaons, to me arc: Try to maintain GOit] near
accurate prcriJetions out of which 20% should be brilliant; then have
20% near arm rate predictions: In (Ire remaining 20% yon ntnsr go
wrong. Only God is ptrleel. Astrology Is a side nee of foresight as no
other sclnifc is (nil astrologers must have (heir limitation, being
human,

Post-Mortem
When an event has taken place and a consnltor tells about U. seek
a valid explanHtlon for it after he has left. II must be retrospectively
explored.
Two such Instances an- bring given fmrn Mr K N Rao's notes and
post-mortem i-jqibnuition being liajfarded,
Thls Is tile horoscope (Ex 3| of an Indian who ran Inln dllhcultles
in a foreign r.ountry In June 1989. Now see tlial II happened in the
pet lnd of Sun-Raliu which started tit March 1989. Rahu Is wltli the
10th lord Mars and with Saturn There Is no bcnclfe aspect on it.
In transit. Saturn was In Sagittarius in June 1989 and Mars in
Gctutni iransittingovcr Rabu Tire even I ts well explained both with the
help of the dasha and transits.
Rahu and the IOth lord Mars are In (he I2lh house, a foreign
place With Saturn. The event gets explained very welt.
Here js another tragic ease [Ex.4) TlUs is Uic Irnt Mseope of a lady
liorn In 1961. tier father is very prosperous. Siic matTlcd In 1984 with
ii very well-placed young man. She is herself very well edmvUed. She
hrtd a daughter after marriage. But in Juiv 1989 her husband died in
an accident and she became a widow. Could this have* been predicted'?
~1 conid not have nredlntrd 11' says Mr, Rao liul apply the
astmlogteal teehnkpres known to xtiir.
I proceeded to do so one by one thus;
a. Jt Is said that 5th lord in the 7th or llii* 7tli lord in lire 5th is bad
for marriage. To what extent, no one has established conciustvcly-
Bul It 1h so in this ease.
b. It is said dial lite 7tii lintl In die 9Ui or vice versa Is bad for
marriage To what extent tt Is so Iras (n he established onclustvely

133
MRlT/OciHAGil (PART - IVi Fwer Ifecfintejoes of Astralogitsl Predtctions VDl One
But SI Is so In this case
c. One very satisfactory explanation Is that the 7th lord Mercury la
wllli (he. fith lord Sun (the lord of acciilentsl wtth Mars,
tl A supporting explanation Is Venus ttln: stgnlfimlor for wurlfltv
enjoyments Including marriage) Is heavily afflicted In the 9th
house.
c, 'Hie best explanation Is tliat the 7lh lord is with the 6th and 8th
lords.
Bui since we arc talking of planets In MB here as many as four
planets- Sun. Mars. Mercury and Jupiter are In MB, The 7th lord in MB
with two other planets, Sun and Mais in MB all coiytilned may be a rare
Instance. But here the 7ih lord himself is spoiled with two other planets
tn MB.
Tin event took place as soon as Jupiter dasha started and in
Jupltcr-Jupltcr-Saturn (he tragic event look place.
Is thai the only expltmallon fliy JalraUil'sChara dasha. The event
look place In Karka-Ttila. From Karka In the 7tli house arc Saturn and
■Jupiter. Jupllcr Is In MB. It did dnroageas soon as Its dasha started. The
autardashn is of Tula wlilch Is a blank house with planets on either side.
And II is the 8th house linrn jannia lagna. the house of wldowliood.
Tills Is ofcourse a post-mortem explanation. But 11 must be done
for futurr research. In rescaif-h Ihe fuiKlanicutal principles of our
anc.lcul rishls must lie adhered to strIcily and from their application
niual flow new research.

Editor's Note
1 I( is absolulciv necessary lo nole the birth dasha of a person and
note how and where (he lords of Mahadaslia and arjiardaslia are
placed.
2. Then ante II planet Is In mrityubfinpa.
3. Do not use any apaticunsha other than the Chitropoksha.

Caution and Warning

1. Again remember lhat there Is no such tiling as Medical AstrrMogy.
It Is only a figment of tile hnnglnallon of an asltnloger who in
framing ihe syllabus of an astrology course used this term,
2 Whatever Is covered under 'ArtsfWa" has hem tennc-fl as Medical
Asimlaiy and astrologem have been bluffed Into believing that tt Is
a branch of Hindu astrology.
3. Make use of nirxtyuhhor/a not with any fear. II Is only a point ol
anshlcc
J A writer cleverly lifted llils research and described (I as a subtle
poini in his wrtitng without even iieknoivlcdging his debt In the
first ever research on iiintyuhhopa ol this ccntuiv This research

Applying the simple rules of arishta
let the Moon be examined first (Ex.5)
1. In the 6lh house, the Moon is In close conjunction with Rahu.
2. So lit Mars ami Saturn are at the same degrees aspecting each
other.
3. Both Mars ami Saturn aspect the Moon which Is already afflicted
in the 6lii house.

6. Jupiter already In Ihc 8th house of sudden and prolonged illness,

7. Now. in Jupller Moon period, he developed serious pain in
stomach and was nearly dying.

nnorthodoxy. Et Is happening In the 5th house of the birth horoscope
and the 11th house of the navamsha.
In tills case the saptamsha does promise birth of a child. The
woman he was living with became pregnant. Being a doctor he
managed to get the pregnancy terminated. Later he deceived the girl
who wanted to marry lilra.
The nature of education
A well knawti and traditional combination for a medical career
which has come down from ancient times is;
Kctu. Jtipitcr and Sun In the nolcsha/ras of Keiu or the Sun give
a medical career.
Therefnrr Mcsha. Slmha and Dhanu which contain the nalcshotras
of Ketu are lite points to be examined.
Similarly, some other nakshatras have been given importance. If
the 5th house falls In these places or If the 5tli lord Is In them, if not a
medical career, a keen Interest In medical subjects may still he there.
The horoscopes of some of the medical representatives fit Into this
astrological parameter. In tills case, medical career Is obvious.

He. a successful business-man, went an a lour. What happened
after that is tragic.
1. His wife was pregnant when he died in a car accident.
2. His wife gave birth to triplets, one son and two daughters. The son
and one of the daughters died while the surviving daughter is deaf
and dumb.
3. The presence of Kclu in the 5th house not being favourable for
male children proved correct in this case.
4. Much worse was tire fact tlxat two out of the three children bom
died in Hie womb of the mother. The 3rd one who is alive. Is deaf

5. A bad Kclu in the 5th house may be a curse of some previous life.
6. When such a Ketu causes the death of children, it is invariably
tragic.

As the only child of his parents he g#l huge properties and a rich
business In cash crops as Inheritance/The extraordinary 11th house

He has five children, three daughters and two sons.
All his children are prosperous. TVuc to the nature of Ketu. he has
more daughters than sons.
Unaffllcted Ketu In tire house of Jupiter, which Is the 5th house of
dignity, gave him something more.

The dignity Ketu gave him

He joined active politics in the mahadasha of Ketu which is with
Jupiter In the 7th hause of the dashamansha.
He became a member of tire Indian Parliament (1957 Just as the

2. There is no other aspect on Ketu.

3. But Kctu's dispositor. Sun is in the 8th house with Mercury and is
receiving the aspect of Saturn. This explains why he was
unmarried and had no children of ills own as Ketu in the 5th
house and an afflicted 5th lord in the 8th house were not
favourable for a life of marriage.
4. Ketu revealed to him his divine splendours, through astrology and
scriptural knowledge first. Later it gave htm deeper spiritual
experiences. I learn, from K.i\. Rao. whose Jyolisfm Guru he was.
5. To this, let what has been written In this Issue of the Journal In
the article on Gajakcsarl Yoga be reproduced.
"When exactly his guru took samadhl I do not remember except
that when his Jupiter dasha started his spiritual experiences came in a
torrential flow and his intuition became infallible. Ketu in the 5th
house aspectcd by Jupiter the 9th lord of guru, he often explained
himself, was showing all its promised resulted. 1 had met him in his
Jupiter dasha which, when over led him Into a totally dillcreni life."

Some conclusions and observations arc being given to help
readers understand the case studies being presented. The book Thu
Mystery of Keiu fn a hamscape" is being patterned on the model of die"
Mystery oj Rahu in a horoscope'.
1. Kclu in the 5th house denotes unorthodoyv which gets reflected in
unorthodox rmrrlagc of Uic person concerned or one of his
children, generally
2. It Is In accordance with the accepted classical principles as the 5lh
house represents both tradition and progeny. Many horoscopes
can l)c seen with Ketu In the 3th house of persons whose children
have had unorthodox marriages from the Indian point of view. In
the caste-cunscltms Hindu carrmuinlty where, we have also
regional cansidcratlons. Kctu In Uic 5tii house has to show a
departure from traditions,
3. On the negative side of Kctu, a point observed was, a tendency to
Imve extra-mariial reiatkms. It Is doubtful whether now. when
permissiveness has become quite widespread, such a point can be
stressed.

5. Professionally. Kctu In (he 3th Eavours medical career. It can br
extended to one s children one of whom may bccornc a doctor,
b. Kctu m die 5Ui gives more daughtcra than sons.Or tire death of a
child, particularly ol a male child, seems to a veiy common
ocinmence.
7, Debilitated Kctu In tin; 5th house seems to be generally good both
for marriage and the birth of male children.
8. Ektcsl or youngest? Some points which should be tcslcd deeply
are based on the observations 1 had made in my book the Mystery
oj Rahu Like Jupiter In Ihe 1 Ilh house wlilch can make out fire
first or the eldest child of the parents or In Us sex. Rahu also does
that. There Is. however, n diflcrencc- Rahu can give also the
position of lire youngest of die siblings or the youngest in its own
sex. When Rahu Is in the 11 tit house. Ketu will be hi the 5th
house.

or Venus. It can give an Indlnauan lowanls fine arts, Iltcramre cie.
Tiadltlonnily, Kelu 1n this position has been favoured for medical
education.
10, Sex of children: Ketu tn the 5ih has nut been favoured as far as
children arc concerned In determining the sex of the child. Ketu
Inclines. It seems, to favour (he birth of female children more.

Synthesis
In Hindu astrology the art of synthesis needs stressing and not

taking the literal Intcrprctallon of a single combljiallon. It Is to be done
tn iwo ways:
The horoscope as a whole should be examined and die synthesis
done.
Then the divisional horoscopes should be examined along with
(he birth horoscope lor tots! synthesis. 11 (hen becomes necessary not
to work on wrong divisional horoscopes.
The observations given here arc the result of examination of many
horoscope. They should nol be trraicd as dogmas. They should be
taken as dependable guiding principles.
In the flrsl part. cflTer.ls of Kctu In 5th house alone arc being
shown through cltfTcrcut horoscopjc.
In tile parts lo follow, since a series on Ketu has been planned for
die Joomal. many other aspects of Ketu In different houses will be
rnnvercd.
This is a rcscnrch. an exploration. It should be remembered dial
no one. except God can utter Hie dual world on any aspect of human
knowledge, particularly asholagy,
The paper must conclude with the otascrvaltnii that a good Ketu In
the 5ih aspectcd by a Ix-neflc. die 5di lord or even a beneflc can give
cxtjaordiiiary powers of Intuition. 1 am reproducing some parts from

them can be considered hero:
"Since 3rd Is the house of younger co-bom, a maicflc Rahu here
does not let any other sibling be bom after him. Thus he makes the
person youngest In the family. Where Rahu ts under bencQc influences,
hr makes one eldest or eldest In the same sex. Tills study serves a very
usclul purpose hi rectificalion of the horoscojx- and fixing of lagua by

Ketu

She lived together with a person without marriage and became

pregnant. In the orthodox Hindu society it was a clear violation of
accepted social norms.
It is confirmed by the position of Ketu in Scorpio in birth
horoscope and also in Navamsha with the Moon which is the 5th lord
of pregnancy. It was a case of pregnancy out of wedlock.
The child died, which Is confirmed by 9th house affliction In all
the three charts, and also exalted Ketu which is not a favourable factor
as we have already seen when Ketu Is placed In the 5th house. The
same logic should be extended to the position of Ketu In the 9th house
if there is affliction to the 5th house and the 5th lord.
1. The Stir lord of the birth iioroscope Is Moon under heaviest
affliction.
2. The 51h lord of the navamsha. Moon is also afflicted
3. The 5lh lord of the saptarasha. Moon Is also afflicted.

Example • 8 (21 Feb. 1963. Male)

Ketu Is in the 9th house, with its dispositrr Saturn and is conjunct
with Mercury and Moon and is aspecled by Mars fR). There is aspect of
5th. 7th. 9lh. 12th and 2nd lord on Ketu and Saturn, the 9tli lord.
In Navamsha
Ketu is again in the 9th house and aspcctcd by Mars from the 6th
house. 9th lord Saturn is in the 2nd house and Is aspcctcd by Moon
from 8th house.
In Saptamsha
Venus is aspectlug 9tJi house, the 8th lord. 9th lord Mars is in the
2nd house and Is aspcctcd by Mercury from the 8th house. Aspect of
laigna lord Jupiter on Mars Is a saving factor,
Here Ketu In the 9lh made him a drug addict and he drinks
heavily. He married a Bredimln girl and there also is marital tension.
Ketu is in Uic 9th conjunct with Moon and Mercury confirms the
research view f«r marital tension.

Mllhuna and if Mcrcuiy, Moon and/or Mars arc conjnnd 11 leads
to the following rcsulls:
a) Tlirae Is some streak of unorthotloxi* visible In some finra or
activity of an Individual's life as also mcrntloned below.
b) If it happens In the birth horoscope and repeat^ in the navamsha.
(hen the raoidfestation of such a tendency Is certain.

Mutual Relationship between Saturn and Mars
It Is well known tliat the Moolaxrikona rashi of Saturn is Kumbha
from where, the ownership of the the 3rtl and the lilii houses by Mars,
makes him an enemy of Satum.
Similarly from Mcsha. which Is the .Moolnirdcona rashl of Mars,
tire ownership of (ire lOtli attd 11 tli houses by Satum. makes him an
enemy of Mars,
The conclusion that follows, inevitably, from this is that St Is an
unconcealed relationship of enmity which can be explosive. From this
flows the other tendencies of heroism, blood-thirst, ambition,
adventurism, accidents ctc-

Thelr Castes
By nature Mars reveals qualities of heroism which is associated
with army, rulers and violence traditionally which is why Ma harsh 1
Parashara has given to Mars the caste of a Khashtrlya. Mars represents
anger, cruelty, fickle-mlndeditess and targe-heartedness.
Satum is a shudnx Lazy. lean, long-hodled etc are the descriptions
of Saturn's nature. But Satum shows dominance over lower classes
and In a democracy a leader of masses.

Lord Rama's Horoscope

To start with, let us have a look at the horoscope of Lord Rama
whom the Hindus worship as the greatest Khashtriija. But the Hindus
do not rrmemhrr the caste of Incarnations and great saints and yogis.

as he is remembered , To understand this nature of Lord Rama we must
refer to the Vhlmikl Ramayana where he Is portrayed as a paragon of
Khoshiriya virtues, with the grace and Idealism of a great king. He
appears to be totally different In the Ramchant Manas of the great Hindi
poet. This Idas.
This the traditional horoscope given In some commentaries of the
Vslmlki Ramayana In which the description of planets at the time of the
birth of Lord Rama is that five planet were in Swochha meaning In their
houses of exaltation or own house. Those who Insist that five planets
should be in exaltation arc missing the significance of the word "swa".
Here Jupiter, Venus Saturn and Mars are exalted and the Moon Is In his
own house, (see example one)

Part n
These horoscopes led mc to hirxlicr Investigation Into the combined
Influences ol Saturn and Mars on khastriya personalllics. In India,
where we have an entire caste of fchastnya, this wmilcl be a good
starttng point was a natural conclusion. Slowly 1 looked Into the
horoscopes of fc/iostrlyas and their families to see If Saturn-Mars
Influences on their lagna or lagna lord, directly or Indtrcrtly was
present or not. I am a KhscUriya myself and I noticed the Satum-Mars
connection In many horoscopes of Khastriyas.
The limited Investigation being done In the first paper has to keep
me confined, therefore, to 'raslr fchnsfriy , Later. 1 can launch Inlo
vaster area of khastriya like quality In the ease of those not bom in
fchrrstnya families.
It ts true, that La the changed times In which we live kfmstnya Or
Brahmins or for dial matter members of anv other caste havt moved
away from their caste mould distinctly hi recent decades Bui then few
decades ago. khastrtyos u.yre (c/instnyas In the sense of being big land
owning classes with their small armies, weapons and hunting. Many of
them were rajas, big zamlndara or. even farawus dncolts like Man
Singh, who had earned the extraordinary reputation of being n very
large hearted person with strong principles. When he was shot death
after the police had got htm poisoned villagers who had received
generous help rmm him. wept for htm Mc had bcconic a legendary hero
In his own lifetime. Uis horoscope is not available.
A synonym used lor Khsatylra Is Rajput wldch however has a
special meaning. Here *RaJ" means kingdom and "put" meaning pntra
ot, Uic son of a king.
The example of Lord Rama is both of that of a Khsatrtyn and
Rajput wiiilc the second case of Raja Dlncsh Singh is also of a
Kluslrayij. Ihe Uilrd. of the c*-prlnct of a state is lhal of b Rajput.
Tlicst horoscopes have been, given here otily In lllustralc my
abse.rvatJon that tn the ease of caste Kbasti lyas one Important factor
seems to be the influence of Mars and Saturn on the lagna or the lagna
lord or both.
In the case of Lord Rama It Is the combined tnflnc.ncc of three
exalted planets cm his lagna and the lagna lord. The influence of
nralcfics Is what astralogcrs will see hcrr because two out ol the three
exalted planets arc malefics. Saturn and Mars. The ability to injure and
gel injured as given by Mars and Saturn can make one the darling of a
crowd. It was so In the ease of Lord Rama, but not at the cost of his
Idealism as exalted Jupiter roust assert Itself.
In Raja Dlncsh Singh's case. It was his khastriya which gets
explained.
In tiie third ease, (he simple point being stressed, the MSC factor,
is shown and the full horoscope has not been revealed and so on for
the other horoscopes given above.

Khsatxiya Families & The M.S.C.
In this paper the abbreviation M5C will be used for the Mars-
Saturn Connection throughout.
As has been stated earlier this Investigation Is being done by first
taking up the examples of those who are bom In traditional KHSATRIYA
families among the Hindus of Ixtdla. Traditionally, It Is only the
Kfiscdriyas of India a whole caste that has been Identified with
kingdoms, rulershlp, adminlstratton. wars, heroism, army, use of
weapons and akhet (hunting). Can the MSG factor be seen over a
period of some generations In the family horoscopes of Khsatrtya
families?
lb investigate this many horoscopes of Khsatriyas were collected
and examined. Here nine horoscopes, six of one family, of tlirce
generations and. three of another arc being given to explain the
Importance of the MSC factor In Kfisalriyas.
This investigation is being done inta those famiiies who describe
ttiemselves as both Khsatriyas and also Rajputs.

Example Nine - The First Generation

The Hindu tradition is to destroy the horoscope of a person after
his death. Among the Khsatriyas this has been a well-known tradition.
Yet. from the family archives, the date of birth of a dead ancestor can be
found out in some cases even now. In this horoscope, the date of birth
could be obtained but the time of birth was not known. The horoscope
was prepared without the lagna. What is noticeable here is that four
planets. Mars, Saturn the Sun and Mercury are together in Karka. This
gtves us a wide variety of possible lagnas wlilch will show the presence
of the MSC factor.The lagna can be Mesha or Vrlschlka, Mltlmna or
Kanya (Mercury) Makar or Kumbha (Saturn) or Slmha (the Sun).
It could be Karka Itself. If die birth lagna of tills Hajput of die last
century was anyone of die eight lagnas. It would show die die MSC
factor.

connection with the lagna or the lagna lord. Only the lagna lord's
presence In die rashl of Mars may Ijc said to be an over-diluted MSC
factor,

OBSERVATIONS
I noticed first the Satunt Mars-connection in the horoscope of our
family. Being a Khsatriya. I felt that it could have a genetic meaning.
Then I noticed In the horoscopes of Khsatrlyas of other families the
MSC factor repeating with an amazing frequency. Certain differences
also became evidcnL Where it was not direct, it was indirect. In each of
those cases the lagna or the lagna lord came under the MSC influence.
But there was a very pcrccptlbte dlfTerencc. From one generation to
another the MSC factor seem to deciinc. It seemed to l>e in keeping with
tire changing times in which we live.

Older Generation
In the case of older generation, bom slxtiy to eighty years ago. It
appeared to be prednmlnant. It seems very appropriate as the
Khsotriyas of that generation did all the duties of a Khso/riyn, ruling,
commanding, fighting, owning land and having fire arms. Known for
their power in the country side, they were also known for their cruelty.
The Hindi film has even today a character "limkur" who is a Khsatriya.
The Hindi film goes to extreme in portraying tire Thakur as arrogant,
full of Ikmlly pride, armed with dangerous weapons and with a small
group of armed men ever ready to commit most heinous crimes to
please their master. Satum-Mars dominated personalities arc what
they are. But It is the influence on the lagna or the lagna lord that
becomes a relevant factor here. It could be seen In various ways. Where
11 was not very convincingly present in the birth horoscope, it was
present in the naksfiatras or divisional horoscopes. Sometimes the
navamsha revealed It more convincingly.

177
SBJum Mbts Comaiiwhant Finer Tedrnicues Of Aslroloo'trH Predlctona Vol One
Tbc Second Generation
In Uic second generation there has been a considerable decline of
the MSC factor wlilch can be otplalncd as the Khsotrfya moved from
the rural places, where they dominated to the urban areas, where they,
like any other castes and Ultc other dtfccens of a metropolis, haw no
distinct Khstti nya Identity of theirs. This significant dlffcrercncc was
visible In the decline of the Inflcncc of Mars on their lagna and lagna
lord along with Saturn's and Raim Kchr axis influencing Lagna or
Lagna lord or sometime other factors.

The Third Generation

There was further decline in the MSC fac tor In ttxc horoscopes of
the third generallon of Klmstrlyas born and bnmghl in clUes where
they lived In tented houses ami took up Jobs, The former employer had
Irccomc an employee, the former village boss, who was a terror, was as
ordinary citizen as anyone else, though the Hindi DJnis still come out
with the outdated theme of a cruel and proud tfinhiir It Is well known
now that In the village side Khsatrtyas have been replaced by Vadavas,
Gujjara and Kurtnls, whose horoscopes should now be scrutinized for
the MSC factor. In the study of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences In
the report of the Second Backward Classes Commission (1970) this fad
has been brought out.

The Foartb Generation

MSC factor totally vanished In lagna charts, but surface tn
Kavamsha chart almost In a diluted form or somet Jrnc 11 was present In
Ihr Nakshalras or divisional horoscope.

Part UI
Who is a Kbsatrlya now?
Tire qualities and kormo-s of Brahmins, Kbsatrlya, Valshyas and
Shudras never die in any humau society, "ilu-y ncctl un en sic links. In
the mercenary and technologic al age we arc living In. It is the uoishya

Wiiere then Is the Kfisalrii/a clemenr present? It Is Interesting to
see It now In tire horoscopes of political leaders, police and anny
oUlcers, (ire neo-rich house-builders of the cities.
This naturally has to take one from Khsnlrtt/u to a Ktrsolriya like
personality of our era,
My guide & guru. Shri K.N Han showed roc some hnroscopes In
which ray thesis of MSC factor discussed must acquler new meaning.
He gave me some more horoscope and guide me In enlarging the theme

A Non-Kshatriya with a Strong MSC Factor
The first horoscope has all that was shown In the previous paper.
The lagna and the lagna lord both come under a very strong influence of
both Satum and Mars. Additionally, there is the aspect of Jupiter from
the 6th house on the lagna lord. Moon.
This person was bom In an orthodox Brahmin family. His father
was a puritanical Brahmin but was drawn Into politics in those earlier
days of Independence of India, when Brahmins dominated Indian
politics. But his grandfather was an uncompromising Brahmin of an
era when Brahmins had to live like Brahmins only
The notable point here ts that unlike the cases discussed in the
previous paper tire MSC factor Is iocussed on the 10th house of karma.
This can further be confirmed by looking at the dashamansha
where Satnm-Mars Snfiucncc on the lagna is clear. In turn, Satum
aspects thelOlh lord, the Sun with an exalted Jupiter, and Moon In the
9th house of luck. He has been a prominent legislator of his state and
has also been a good Chief Minister twice. He won many a battle and
lost also many--aJl electoral battles and in his fight within the political
party he belongs to and outside It.

Mars In the 1 Oth house In the birth horoscope with the lagna lord
shows his high ambition and ability to administer his state with
competence. Aspect of Jupiter Is that element of Idealism which is his
Brahmin trait which he Inherited. Tills then becomes the portrait of a
Brahmin ruler. Ruling being a Kshatriya trait he ruled like a Kshatriya.
fights like a Kshatriya. talks like a Kshatriya but claims very rightly a
Brahmin descent.
From the pads lagna. Makara, we find Mars and Satum in
kendras with Saturn being In the 1 Oth house.
Karakamsha lagna. which is Tula, has an exalted Saturn with
Rahu in the lOlh house aspectcd by three planets from Kumbha.(Jaimini
aspects.)
In Indian politics, the son succeeding the father or the mother,
starting with a political advantage Is a well known phenomenon. His
father too was a politician and rose much higher than his son in
politics. The dwadashamslw of this person reveals the MSG factor
again.
The 1 Oth lord •f the dwadasharasha Is Satum aspcctcd by Mars.
There is an excellent Gajakesarl yoga In the 4th house with the royal
planet. Sun. Joining it. His father had unrivalled supremacy for many
years in the politics of the state he belonged to and was the Chief
Minister for many years till a disaster led to his exit and later, death.

Example - 23
Not Birth but Karma of a Kshatriya
Insistence on birth In a Kshatriya family is not necessary in our
Investigation of the MSG factor. It is the fcanua of a Kshatriya that
needs to be emphasised. A Kshatriya is a fighter not necessarily with
weapons. Fighting election is a Kshatriya karma. In a democracy.
Saturn the planet of masses must come into prominent play because
an election is a light to win votes which arc to be had from masses.
In this case, these conditions arc fully satisfied both in the case of
the father and the son.

To reinforce this Kshatriya like element with the MSG factor
dominating the fcanna two examples of American prcsidrnls can be
taken up first

President Franklin D Roosevelt (Example 24)

Two horoscopes of US presidents, the most powerful men In the
world show a different aspect of MSG factor. When In 1932. President
Roosevelt was elected for the first time America passed through its
worst depression. He was the saviour who came out with series of
legislations and brought about a miraculous economic recovery. His
reputation soared so lilgh that he won elections three times more,
cstabltslng a record of four successive terms as US president. It was in
his 4th term that he died. During his first two terms, the greatest world
power was the British empire with powerful USSR and Germany vying
for world supremacy. The American [xdicy of keeping away from world
politics did n*t reveal to the world the might of the USA. In his
horoscope. Mars in the 10th house receives the aspect of Saturn. He
fought and won elections like a modem Kshatriya and was also In
charge of the American navy for nine years, again a Kshatriya function.

Your caste is in your genes, say scientists

London OcL IS: SclentJsts have discovered a patlern of genetic
differences that underpins the caste system In India. Their research
shows that each caste has developed a distinctive genetic profile
bccuasc of little Inter-caste marrtage and the variations In tire social
peaking order arc also mirrored In the DNA
Led by Dr. Michael Bamehad of Utah University, scientists
studied genetic rnatertaJ from 250 people from 12 castes In Andhra
Pradesh to find that their conclusions arc particularly true for men;
women's goncs suggest they have some social mobility. Hindus are
stratified into around 2.000 castes and sutccasles. each grouped into
five vamas that dlcalc a pcrsmi's access (o education, occupation and
status. To study how deeply these divisions had affected Ihcm. the
scientists examined their mltnchonclrlal DNA, which Is Inherited only
from mothers, and V ciirn mo somes, Inherited only from fathers Their
analysis showed thai a mans DMA Is highly specified lo his castes, bul
with women this phi-.iiomunuu was less pronounced. With them. DNA
typical of one caste was sometimes found In other adjoining castes.
The discovery suggests thai women accasionafly marry men from
higher castes, producing children who Inherit the husband's caste.
"The slrattflcatioM of the Hindu caste system is driven by women,"
staled the researchers In Nature, a scienllltc Journal.

The Promise of the Horoscope

For analysing tlie psyche and Ideology frnni a horoscope, primarily
(he three (lines 1,5.9 houses should be analysed with their lords.
The trlnca compleracnl each other and the tntermliigllng of their
influences make the psyche. The thoughts and ideas arc generated Irom
tlie flfth house but they arc subject to the scrutiny of the ninth house
which is the (conscience keeper and (Jui aclion Is taken by the Qrst
h*use. A thought can be turned down by the conscience and even ll
passed by It, Uie type of action and tlie I'aroc ot 11 is dependent on die
first house. Tilts Is the working of the psyche through houses 5.9.1.
Besides the psyche triangle of 1.5.9 houses. Jupiter, the karaka for
virtues, rlghfcousncss. reltglpn and spirituality should be assessed and
examined with the ninth house and the ninth lord (o see the level of
respect tlie person lias for tlie norms of the society, its traditions and
conventions (pararnpara). Moon should be seen for delemilnlng the
state of mind and Mercury for the Intellect.

Jupiter: The Pivot of the Horoscope

Jupiter is the lagna lord placed in the rsasht of his friend, the
toyal Sun. Jupiter In Leo and Aqmuiui Is considered as good as In Its
sign of exaltation, Cancer Fmm Ihfs vantage position of the ninth
house It aspects the lagna and Lhc fifth house, radiating its Influence
on itil tlie three trlncs. It also aspects (he Ifllh lord. Jupiter Is tlie
strongest planet of this horuscupe with Ishta Phal 4u 60 and Kaslila
17;S0 and has rendered the lagna lord strongest with a strength of
9.7 mpas. It exalts In the navamaha and occupies Its moohrlkoua
rashl In many divisional charts. In the birth chait Jupiter Is the lord
of lagna and the fourth house. 'Hie fourth house represents Rajya

a spec ted by the strong lagna lord Jupiter from the ninth house. The
skills, dexterity and speed of Mercury combined with lite energy and
power of Mars has to make the person successful, enterprising and
famous. Mars as the lord of the fifth house in lagna Is good and as
the lord of the I2fh house is bad for the body. Mars gave htm high
fever quite frequently and diseases by its position in 1-agna and Its

Although the boycotts were withdrawn, a year later, by the Congress,
Rajen babu did no! lake any new ease after he had publicly declared to

in the lurch, in the middle of the ease , and as he had accepted the ease

clearly indicated by an uverhcariiig ninth house and doralnalton of a
strong Jupiter in his horoscope.
The antardaaha of Bun broughl him to high positions from where
he made die sacrifices. After die brilliant success in ednratton, he
discarded fhc Government Job for which (his education was basically
designed; and again lie gave up Ids lucrative legal practice when at die
age of 35 he had become a National leader of repute and a brilliant

Democracy, Non-alignment and Secularism.

Soclatiaxn

Regulations. Celling. Resenatlons. Licensing and Nationalism of all
sorts resulting in a large, fat. expensive. incfDclcnt and corrupt
government machlnciy spreading Its tentacles to stifle positive
entrepreneinshlp and suffocating the free flow of market forces, The
practice to accommodate as many ministers as possible, so that they
remain happy and supportive with bungalows cars and security started
In Nehru era and became more and more pronounced with rime. There
are 245 Central Public sector undertakings In the country today whcrc
precious money to the tune of Rs. 1.72,5®0 crorcs have been Invested
with hope of no returns, and these undcitaltlngs again require further
Investment for rehabllltallou and revival if the value of the rupee of the
1950"5 and 60s when most of the Invcstincuts were made Is applied, the
figure becomes mind boggling- Both the central government and stale
government enterprises have become a hunting ground for the
unscrupulous Pollliclans-bu&lnessmanBunmucral-CrlmlnaJ nexus for
the siphoning of easy money. The enterprises are quite at par m
coruiptlon and Inefficiency with the spoiled govcrruncnl machinery.
Hie Qfth pay commission lias found over staffing resulting in under

The s<K.iallsm aimed at Gar ibiHatuo (povexty alleviation), a populist
worn out vote catchlng^slogan coined by Nehru and utilised In full by
Indira. Sonjny and Rajiv, his dynasty and Its residue Narastmha Rao
proved to be Just another false promise, ll Is common knowledge that
very little funds of the Integrated Rural Development Programme reach
the needy. The National Council of Applied Economic Research came
out with a human development profile of rural India towards the cud of
November 1996. which said thai about sixteen percent of India's rural
population earned Rs.3/- per day and another eighteen percent only
about Rs.5 per day. Tire Planning Commission report cstlmjitcs that 36-
37 percent of India's local population should be treated as bdow the
poverty Line This Is what socialism Induced eight five year plans have
been able to do,
India comes out poorly If you see the vital economic Indicators-
While tndiah GDP per head Is $360. China Is exactly double, with a per
capita GDP rale of $720. Even Pakistan has a rate of $520. let alone
Japan, rvtuch has a per capita GDP rate of §38,120. which la more Uian

squarely rests on (he cconmnlc policies pursued. It was a mockery of the
past govcnunenls when Dr. ManiDohan Slngli started to reverse the
economic polldcf; which were followed for forty years, by decontrol,
dercservatlon and deregulation and began the process of shifting (lie
economy from a command economy to liberalisation and globallBatlon.

Domocnicy
Our tryst with democracy has also been equally' disappointing.
Except for nineteen months oflndtra emergency, though wc have been
able to sustain the essentials of democracy, we have miserably failed In
giving it a respectability. There la a need to undertake a major surgery
of the disabled electoral system seriously wounded by crimlnalisaOon

planets gives effect of Jupiter. Moreover, the tenth lord In the ninth of
tile Navamsha is a kendra-trikona combination which Is good for the
tenth house. The sixth lord Saturn In lagtia Indicates tiie focus on the
sixth house of Navamsha also. Thus In Navamsha also the 1st. 4th. 6th.
10th and 11 th houses arc dominant Indicating rise in life. The cxaltaUon

In the Dashmansha chart, tire link between the first and tenth

as the dashmansha lagna lord goes to the tenth house. The twelfth lord

twelfth and ninth house as seen hi the birth chart. The tenth lord exalts
in the sixth house and (here is an exchange of the sixth and lenth.

Constituent Assembly and President of India Irom 1950 to 1962.
Although his selection was unanimous there was opposition from
many. This is indicated by the exchange of the exalted tenth lord Saturn
with the sixth lord Venus. Venus js also the lagna lord of the
Dasliamanaha lagna. The fourth house (representing Raj slmhasau) 's
also strengthened with the aspect of exalted Mars, and of Jupiter from

With the onset of Mercury tYatyantar dasha. things started to look
up for Rajcn Babu, He- was greatly relieved when Gandhtji supported
the stand taken by hlrtr against the entry to legislature. On April 31.
1924. Gandhi prepared a draft statement In conriecUoa with Council
entry. Gandhtji declared that he was still in favour of the five boycotts
and entry to the legislatures was against the principles of nou-
cooperation. In the char It was Cancer-Aries from April 4. 1924 to June
4, 1924. Better than Cancer-Gemini and Canccr-Tftunis.
The conrniunal situation was tense. Gandhtji, In his articles
aMHlyBcd the Hindu Muslim tensions- Its causes and cure. In one such
article he wrote that Muslims are tmliys and the Hindus are cowards. He
declared that only those people should be chosen In the. Congress who
follow all the five boycotts. It implied that only those members had a

Swaraj Party Issued separate statements on entry to the Legislatures.
In tins tense sltuaUon AJCC meet whs held in Ahemedabad on

With the start of the daaha^ Saturn engaged Rajcn Babu In hectic
touring with Mahatma Gandhi all over Bihar till MahatmaJ! faintctl due
to exhaustion. He was forced to take real In Patna. U was while
Mahntraajl was resting, that the A1CC Session In Scplembcr. 1925 took
place in Patna. The Swaraj Party was virtually handed over the
Congress Organisation- Rajcn Babu then concentrated on the nation
building Bcdvltlcs by engaging himself m the collection of funds for
Khndl Promotion, There were some pleasant events tn an otherwise
depressing period like the marrusgc of Rajcn Babui eldest son
Mrllyunjay to the daughter of Shrl Brlj Klshor Prasad. The communal
tension was rising with Increase In Arya SamaJ Sbuddhls and Muslim
conversions. Though Rajcn Babu was against entry to the councils, he
campaigned for the Council of State clccttons on accepting the
responsibility for the campaign In Bihar. Gandhtjl. somehow managed
till the Kanpur Session, after that he was advised to rest for one year at
Sabarmatl by the Doctors, Some people Intcrprelcd It as a political
Sanyas. Amidst rivalry, feud and Intrigues the Congress Session was
held at Kanpur In December, 1925. It was presided over by SmL
Sarojlnl Naldu. It was proposed by Shrl Mottlal Nehru that the
Swarajlata will pvit up the demand for Swaraj In the Legislatures and If
it was not agreed, they would quit and get engaged In the Constructive
work. Any way. the Jan-March. 1926 Session of the state and Central
Assembly was to be the last one before the elections of 1926. Shrl
Jayakar. Shrl Munjc and Shrl Kclkar resigned from the Swaraj party
and foimcd a new party. The situation changed for the good for Rajcn
Babu with start of Mercury Partyantar dasha from January SO"', 1526

Rslarajgopolachari for the Convocation address In Blliar Vldyapecth.
Rajcn Babu published a book "economics qf Khcidi" during this period.
Later, during 1926. Rajcn Babu concentrated on Khadl Promotion
activities, Many exhibitions were organised In the Summer of 1926
Raj'-U EfabU stayed tn n hill resort with Gandhjjt In Mysore. After that
they toured south for Khadl and Hindi promotion. With the elections,
Approtichlng, the Country was gripped by election fever and mounting
communal tension. Riots took place in Kohat. MuhHlrna Gandhi and

Hie loss of India would be final and fatal to us. t could not fall to be a
part of a process that would reduce us to a minor power' In January
Fchrufuy 193] Gandhiji held series of meetings with the Viceroy. Rajen
Babu and other leatiei^ Ixad camped tn New Dellil during the period,
Gandhljl discussed the approach to be followed and the stand to be
taken on varuius issues to be incorporated In the pact. Gandhljl was
gradually loosing faith In British Justice. But he had faith In Justice of
(deals o( truth and nuu-vtolcncc. He hdlevrd thai the method of
violence was morally wrong and politically of lllllc use. If one man was
killed, another would always take his place. He believed that violence
always engendered greater violence. In the Greek legend 999 warriors
sprouted out of the blood of every warrior killed. He believed that lei
indulge In political murders was to sow the dragon's teeth.
He believed In Tolstoy s advice that the proper method to paralyse
an oppressive Govemmcnt was to refuse taxes, resign from all services
and IxrycoU Inshliilions supporting the Government He believed that
such a programme could compel any Govettunml to come to terms
Gandldll signed the Pact In February 1931, though many Congressmen

The Congress was expecting tiUcasl freedom with, dominion status
for India, In view of the crisis England was In, due to the war. In March

simply offered more powers to the state and Central Msembllea CWC
rejected these proposals, Japan, whs moving fast and England was
unable to cope up. The British Qovernmcnt adopted the Scorched Earth
Policy by destroying all boats and cstHbllshmcnts on the coastal areas
of India so dial If (he Japanese land they get nothing.
The Vtnr 1842 was momentous in the history of Indian Struggle for
freedom. Rajen Babu was engaged In touring. He attended the CWC
meeting at Allahabad and then came to Vrfardha. Everyone felt that the
confrontation with the British was Imminent. The hard-liners wanted to
tahe help of Germany and Japan to defeat England. The non-violent
Congress also was In a mood of taking some bold aggressive steps.
Indians had lost all fallh In British Justice and British credibility was at
the ebb. ftajen Babu toured Bihar between April 1942 last week and
June 1942. In Patna he fell sick after return from Wardha. On 31*' July
1942 he took a meeting of the Bihar Provincial Congress. Even the non-
violent Gandhijl had turned bitter against the Brldsh. He told his
country men to do or die tills time. On 5"1 August 1942 CWC meeting
took place In Bombay. On T* August A1CC meeting wns held and on S"1
August 1S42. the quit India resolution was passed. The leaders were
arrested Rajen Babu was arrested on 9^ August 1942 and remained in

1942 to October 23"1, 1942. The nation witnessed one of the worst
famines In Bengal In 1943. The Saturn Mahadasha ended on 9* August
1944. It was a bad patch of 19 years with Illness, Intrigues, uncertainties
tension and on the top of that the burden of foreign dorolnadon,
Achievements were also there, he hod his ups and down as president of
the Congress and as member of the CWC. he was one of the key person
in the Congress- the party that enjoyed mass support, Satum-Juplter
period though spent In Jail could be termed as comfortatalc and
productive. He wrote books and stayed with his companions He had
volunteers to type his works His close associates were with him and the
Jail author Hies were supportive enough to allow hla children and grand
children to visit him often. He did not fall seriously 111 during this Saturn
