Clues From Ramayana & Timing of Widowhood: by Shankar G. Hegde, India
Of Widowhood
By
Shankar G. Hegde, India
Copy editor: Andree Leclerc
[The technique exhibited by Mr Shankar is a novel approach there is no doubt and it exuberates flair for the subtle.
But what is more important is to observe his usage of using religious couplets, showing how astro logic can be
applied to come out with something meaningful and significant. Readers should take this cue and cull out some
research pieces in the future along these lines. Editor, Saptarishis Astrology.]
Vidwan Shankar G. Hegde was born on 22nd/23rd of July 1971 in an orthodox family in a
small town Kumta of Karnataka. He is well versed in both traditional & modern methods of
astrology. Currently, he is practicing Indian astrology in Rajajinagr Bangalore. He is a gifted,
as well as a well experienced, Hindu Astrologer who learnt astrology at the age of 14. Along
with astrology, he studied martial arts, palmistry and the Egyptian system of astrology. Mr.
Hegde got an opportunity to give daily predictions for a satellite channel -Asianet Kaveri
where he became very popular in Bangalore & Karnataka, because of his super hit
predictions. Specifically, he tried to remove the phobias created by fake astrologers on
womenfolk. He has produced excellent & unparalleled researches in astrology that have
appeared in the Journal Of Astrology of K. N. Rao.
s per the opinion of Shri. K.N.Rao, some very good combinations of astrology are
present in the local languages of India. Few weeks back, a star singer of greatest art
from Karnataka visited my house & he sang a song related to the chapter of
Sundara Khanda of Ramayana in Rag Charukeshi. It revealed how Lord Hanuman comes to a
conclusion that Mandodari, the wife of Ravana, was not Sita by using some Anga
Saamudrika. After listening to it, my brain started to find out new things related to
predicting widowhood.
The literal meaning of the song is like this:
I just checked whether these combinations are present in the original (?) Ramayana &
couldnt find any such combinations in it. But besides Tulasi Ramayana, Adhyatma
Ramayana etc., there are other Ramayanas in many local languages of India. Moreover I
came to know that the writer of that song (play-let) was well versed in astrology, mainly the
Kerala system of astrology. My grasping was as below.

Transit Jupiter influencing 8th house tries to mitigate the problem whereas Saturn tries to
promote it. Here the planetary strength finalizes the factor.
4>
In many cases transit Jupiter, Saturn, the Dasha or sub lord of the Dasha will be connected to
the 12th house somehow.
Let us see some practical illustrations.
Case-1: Smt. Indira Gandhi. D.O.B.19-11-1917, 23-11 IST, Allahabad, India. (Lagna> Cancer
27deg-22mins.)
It was Saturn-Moon in Vimshottari. In D-1 Saturn is aspected by Jupiter the 12th lord. In
D-9, Moon is the 12th lord & Saturn is with him. Transit Jupiter was in Scorpio in the 8th
from the ascendant. But transit Saturn was in Aquarius in retrograde motion, in his moola
trikona house and was stronger to defeat Jupiter. In Jaimini chara Dasha, it was Leo-Scorpio.
Just try to reason it yourself. Simply Scorpio is the 12th from dara pada, 8th from
Karakamsha Lagna, 12th from dara karaka navamsha etc.
Case 5:Male.DOB-9-12-1945, 10-00-25 IST. Lagna or ascendant is Capricorn (Makar) 5deg54mints.
Jaimini Ak is Jupiter& Dk is Saturn.
He lost his wife in the year 1994 when Sat-Sat in Vimshottari was running. Here the lord of
the 12th is Jupiter and he receives aspect of Saturn both in D-1 & D-9. If we consider the
retrograde motion of Saturn, the 12th house in D-1 is also aspected by Saturn. In D-9, Saturn
being the 12th lord aspects the 12th house!
Jaimini chara Dasha running was Gemini which is the 12th house from dara pada etc.
Case 6: Sanjay Dutt. DOB-29-71959, 14-17-37 hrs (IST) Bombay. Lagna is Scorpio 03deg17mints. Jaimini karakas. AK-Jupiter, Dk-Moon.
He lost his 1st wife in Rahu-Mars according to Vimshottari. Mars is with the 12th lord
Venus in D-1. Mars aspects the 12th lord Mercury in D-9.
The rest, I leave for your own observations.
Broad Summary:1.
After taking the hints from the Ramayana of a local language of India, I have tried
these factors to predict about the loss of spouse, mainly widowhood.
2. I have used only major dasha & bhukti or antar dasha (the sub period) to avoid confusion.
3. I have not used any other divisional chart like the D-30 or trimshamsha which give a very
good clue related to mishaps.
4. This is just the beginning to show the importance of the 12th house/lord/planet in it to
predict about widowhood or loss of spouse.
Just give more importance to the 12th house along with other houses like the 8th (next best),
7th & the 2nd house.
Simply the 12th house requires more attention than any other house to timing/predicting
widowhood or loss of spouse.
