It was writfen one year before the General Elections of 1989 in which this prediction was clearly made, when no one had yet expected the Congress (1) party of Rajiv Gandhi, to be defeated. It is reproduced here with some elaborate discussion. Additional discussion has been done in brackets, in ital- ics and footnotes. Since most other astrologers have used different lagna for him, a more elaborate discussion with more horoscopes be- comes necessary. It was a great historical movement which he spear headed. I watched it grow in Bihar.) As 1 write this (14 September, 1988), Jupiter is in Taurus, which according to my own research in mundane astrology brings about, in post independence India, radical changes in the central government, and then as Saturn prepares to move into Poorvashadha’, the two major planets will transform the national political scene, through a poll, not a revolution but a poll which will have the tones of a revolution through a ballot? Jupiter was last in Taurus in 1977, when something of a rey- olution through ballot had taken place; earlier transitting between Aries and Gemini, this planet, Jupiter, had taken away Nehru, brought in Lal Bahadur Shastri, whose brief tenure ended tragi- 1 This is the classical piece taken fom ancient books on mundane astrology. __ 2 This was my original fundamental research in mundane astrology which a well known astrologer tried to lift unsuccessfully. In November 1988 in an interview for the magazine Onlooker, I had clearly predicted a change of Central Government in 1989, This was made more than one year in ad- vance when no political assessment about the downfall of Rajiv Gandhi, the then Prime Minister, was even dreamed of by anyone.2 Astro-Journey cally and then came in Indira’. Now Jupiter is there again and I remember J.P. on this oceasion, particularly when Saturn is pre- paring to effectuate the classical “chattra bhanga yoga”. The horoscope of J.P. as got cast by his elder sister and shown to me in 1973, when I was in Patna, was on the borderline of Vrischika (Scorpio) and Dhanu (Sagittarius). Later, the horoscope of J.P. as discussed in astrological journals was either with Cancer Lagna or Capricorn, none with Scorpio or Sagittarius.‘ I worked on the ista ghati (15) given in the horoscope and arrived at the following data. The sunrise on that day was 6:24:53 AM Add 6 hours 12:24:53 Deduct LMT correction 00:06:44 The time taken in his horoscope was 12:18:09 I corrected it to 12:17:23 It can be seen that my correction was very marginal, by 46 sec- ond only.* 3. All this happened between 1964 and 1966. 4. Most of the horoscopes discussed in astrological journals are unverified and fake ones, 5, I have given elaborate data.

Sahay, a lawyer of Patna. He had brought the horoscope to me and, together with his Kashmiri wife, adored J.P. as few men could, and never exploited his intimate contacts with J.P. for any selfish gains. Sahay’s intelligence-imbued idealism, with such streaks of mel- low ruggedness, as some people occasionally reveal, helped him re- tain his equipoise in difficult days, Somewhere in my portrait gal- lery of unsung heroes self-relegating themselves to minor roles, jump- ing into the fray of social reform with controlled ferocity and with- drawing from it before the starlight of publicity fell upon him, Sahay figures prominently. J.P. was his hero in a rather intelligent way, and he respectfully commented on some traits of J.P.’s character, which I made use of, for Sagittarius lagna only. Prabhavati Devi, wife of J.P., died of cancer on 15-4-1973 when Rahu/Ketu axis fell on his Lagna and 7th house, and Saturn from Taurus and Mars from Capricom afflicted his 8th house, terminating a very unusual married life. (J have given now the annual horoscope of 1972 in which the lagna is Scorpio and retrograde Saturn in the 7th house gives a clear indication also. In Vimshottari it was Mer- cury-Mercury-Jupiter. Mercury is the 7th lord of the birth horoscope and is in the 7th House in the navamsha, In the birth horoscope Ju- piter aspects the 8th house and in the navamsha the 7th). She was an ardent worshipper of God and began her day with the recitation of the Vishnu Sahastranam and the Gita, among whatever other stotras she might have recited. When married, she blended in her con- jugal life the spiritual resilience of an ancient tradition and the het- 6. Those days I had started an evening three hour bhajans for the uni- versity boys of Patna four of whom attended them regularly. When the spiri- tual discipline is good, astrological predictions come out mostly correct 7. After I have shown the calculation based on the ista ghati, there should be no doubt left. As it is, no one has disputed this lagna after my article appeared. Jaya Prakash Narain a erodoxy of a nationalist plunging full scale into the liberation struggle.® Ideologically, she stood miles apart from her husband and how she, with her own orthodoxy, became heterodox, without ever becoming an enigma must first be seen in J.P.’s horoscope. Given Sagittarius ascendant, JP’s horoscope will show one malefic in the Sth house and one in the 9th house-the classical por- trait of a heterodox character born in an orthodox family of eastern India, who became a Marxist, a non-Gandhian socialist advocating the use of both violence and non-violence, whichever might succeed, to win India her freedom. Yet having clarity of thought and courage of conviction to keep away from Indian communists who had criticised Gandhiji in a language which appears to be incredible now.° He seemed to respect the Mahatma from a distance and through a con- jugal bond. In those days JP had discarded all puja (worship) with a grace - he never uttered words against it in any hurtful way unlike, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, known for his feigned and opportunistic het- erodoxy and pretentious ‘scientific! outlook, who yet consulted astrol- ogers privately, while he condemned them publicly. In J.P.’s horo- scope, Moon and Jupiter in the house of speech, a very fine Moon of shukla paksha, marked him out for the sincerity and truthfulness of his utterances. The egoless harmony of JP’s ratiocination was an unforgettable experience which the combination of the Moon and Ju- piter in the 2nd house, Ketu in the 5th (good in Aries) aspected by Mercury from the 11th house, gave him, From Sagittarius lagna, the 7th lord is retrograde’ with Rahu, and in Mercury major period and Mercury sub-period and Jupiter sub- sub period, his wife died. Rahu’s association with the 7th lord gave to her just that streak of unorthodoxy as was necessary to inspire her to work first with Kamala Nehru", later with Gandhiji breaking the 8 Most of the people in the westem countries do not know that Indi- ans are very progressive.

Gandhiji once wrote to JP to concede the wish of Prabhavati to lead the life of a Brahmacharini (cclibate), and JP the Marxist had the grace to concede. He never criticized her for her wish and never blamed himself for his decision to concede it.” On her death bed, Kasturba Gandhi'* had allowed herself to be nursed by Prabhavati Devi only and had died in her lap - the wife of one great man died on the lap of the wife of another great man, both intrinsically great themselves. Prabhavati Devi was Gandhiji’s adopted daughter but her hus- band, JP, was a non-Gandhian. From their date of marriage in 1919 till Gandhiji’s death in 1948, JP had never accepted Gandhism as In- dia’s need, A day before Gandhiji’s assassination, 30th January, 1948 Prabhavati had met him in Delhi, and the next day when she heard the terrible news, she had fainted. But on the second anniversary of Gandhiji, 1950, J.P. had declared that Gandhian non-violence was In- dia’s need, after freedom, when democratic institutions could be built peacefully."* JP’s Dashamansha shows this radical volte face, which was graceful but which his critics mistook for extinguishment of rev- olutionary fires in his life, and not astrological culmination of an hon- est Indian thinker. This was Prabhavati’s first ideological victory over her husband - JP’s 7th lord being stronger than the lagna lord. In Saturn-Mercury (1952-55), J.P. openly accepted the Sarvodaya philosophy. The erstwhile Marxist revolutionary had now 11.

For some period JP did some philandering with a famous woman leader and had apologised to his wife for this lapse 13.

Jaya Prakash Narain 9 become a brilliant Gandhian, through his own original dialectics, un- like the borrowed ones’ of Indian communists. It was Prabhavati’s second triumph. The sterling example of J.P.'s intellectual honesty was manifest in an incident less known to people. Sometime before her death Prabhavati had met Satya Sai Baba and had mistaken some ut- terance of Baba as indication of the cure of her cancer. But JP told his intimate friends that it was not so. More likeable Indian rational- ists (not the pseudo rationalists who attack astrology and Satya Sai Baba with all the vigour of their ignorance), some of them in Varanasi then, had prevailed upon JP not to issue any statement in favour of the supernormal he had witnessed, as it might be detrimental to their ‘rationalist movement’ When helpless and on her death bed, Prabhavati may have looked wistfully at her religious books. JP, now the Sarvodaya lead- et, had vowed at her death bed that he would do Vishnu Sahastranam and the Gita recitation which she was doing, perhaps, till his last days. Vaguely feeling happy, perhaps, and smiling wanly, Prabhavati may not have known that Saturn was aspecting the 8th house of her husband’s horoscope with Mars joining in from Capricorn, and Rahu Ketu in 1/7 axis was putting the last flicker of their conjugal life out. In JP’s horoscope it was Mercury-Mercury period. It was the first day of the Vaishakha month and a Hindu year had closed and with that too had closed an era. A religiously pure Hindu woman leader, mar- tied honestly'’, devoted to her husband, suffering in the liberation struggle, like her husband, imprisonment, and refusing, like her hus- band, again, when offered to seek office and power in 1936, and later, departed from the world of mortals, And died too with her death a great unsung heroine of Indian history, and died also an cra of pure patriotism of pure women - pure in so many ways."* Saturn in Lagna Saturn as Atmakaraka must be in the Lagna of JP, as in the fast, Dig net there is fies mixing of sexes extia-marital relations develop GSE During the sbuggle for independence men and women marching in pro- ions had fallen victim to the darts of Cupid often. 16.

Mrs Gandhi’s brief married life of 18 years was full of disharmony and disturbance, accentuated by the affliction of Mars to her 8th house, and Venus combining with Rahu, was a worse feature of her horo- scope." JP's 8th house has the Moon-Jupiter aspect, and a chaste and a devoted wife died in his own lap. Saturn’s 10th aspect on Venus in the 10th house with the aspect too of Jupiter, completes the pic- ture of his karma-pattern, two superb benefics, both debilitated, and Saturn kodanda" in Dhanu (Sagittarius) portray, in deft touches, the idcalist in his long journcy from Marxism to the Gita, an intellectu- ally honest individual evolving higher and higher till he reaches the fringe of the realm of spirit. Notes. It was the dasha of Mercury representing Lord Vishnu influencing the Sth house. The 5th lord Mars is in the 9th, one trikona lord in another. Ketu is in the 5th house. From Jaimini’s angle from Karakamsha, Dhanu, the 9th lord Sun aspects the atmakaraka. Now see the Vimshamsha. 17, Dhanu is the Karakamsha with Saturn in it because Karakamsha must be put in the birth horoscope and not in the navamsha, J had explained it in my book on Jaimini’s Mandook Dasha 18.

Refer to my book, the Nehru Dy- nasty. The culmination of the Indira legacy has disgusted the coun- try so much that in refusing a bail application (27 Feb. 1996) to an Indian parliamentarian, Kalpnath Rai, arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive (Prevention) Activities Act, a Delhi Judge, S.N. Dhingra, made some pungent observations thus: “\« in the past, most of the time, the nation’s prestigious in- stitution - the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha have wasted at huge cost to the national exchequer by walk outs, creating fish market scenes, shouting, protesting and even going to the extent of using muscle power inside the House. .. in ancient India kings and emperors thought it a privilege to sit at the feet of learned men.

In Jaimini’s Chara Dasha” The sequence is: Dhanu 1902 to 1903: Vrischika from 1903 to 1908: Tula from 1907 to 1919.

Some of them are worth reproducing from his biograghy.
