INDIA'S SERIAL ELECTIONS : BJP

BJP SymbolSome people had hoped that the BJP would symbolize the true secularism, the gift of the glorious civilization of ancient India with its realization of Truth being One but the Paths being different. India alone has practiced truest secularism, allowing the refugees of all tormented followers of other religions, Jews, Zoarstrians or even trading Muslims to build their religious places and practice them in those middle ages when the proselyting religions, based on one book one prophet obsession, had created hordes of barbarians destroying the religious places of other religions and killing adherents of other religions, raping their women and converting them through threat and monetary incentives. Time has come to discard the hypocritical secularism of the Congress (remember Nehru and the Hindu Code Bill and Rajiv Gandhi and Shah Bano case) and show to the world that secularism is not atheism, not discarding of religion, but acceptance of multiple approaches to Cosmic truth, tolerance of difference of opinion, not irrational rigid uniformity of “our path alone is correct” or is that “last prophet” alone etc...... and Arab imperialism.

INDIA'S SERIAL ELECTIONS: KHICHDI FRONT

Three national parties, he says, the Congress, the BJP and the Communist party will not form the next government after the next general elections whenever that takes place he says. I will call the communist, a quarter national party, because outside Bengal, Kerala and Tripura, we notice its presence only during the strikes it calls in other states and disrupts traffic. It will be a fourth front he says excluding the three national parties, the Congress, the BJP and the communists, the battered, shattered and scattered parties of 2012.

ART OF PREDICTION 8 - THE FUNNY FEEDBACK

Someone should do a research on how yoga, spiritual sadhanas of India, jyotisha and ayurveda have travelled westward from the middle of last century perhaps, and have now become a part of the lives of some, a tiny percentage of the populations of those countries.

A very intelligent man of East Asia whom I had met twice in USA during my tours had told me that (he had observed) after the New Age movement had attracted some generations of young people, eastern traditions had started becoming a trend as he called them.

I emphasise “trend” in the west. First it becomes a fad, and then if it continues for two decades it becomes a trend and a way of life with them. Ofcourse, these are also means of livelihood of some of them. A trend becomes a part of their civilization finally, he observed.

But when people of Asian countries come to me and discuss these subjects I am not suprised at all. In recent years many Japanese seem to have taken to these rather seriously as I found after many Japanese started meeting me to take astrological consultations. Japan taking these seriously does not surprise me as between India and Asian countries mutual accepance of some of cultural, religious and eastern systems of medical disciplines must have been common historically for many centuries as Buddhism spread.  Out of all these, yoga in a physical sense, meaning hatha yoga, got accepted more widely I guess.

One Japanese who met me recently and has been doing hatha yoga seriously took an astrological consultation. I do not remember whom I told what after scrutinising their horoscopes. Yet, some of them give me good feedback from time to time. Sometimes, some notes I scrible against their horoscopes pasted in my records, does help me in recalling what I had told them.

The feedback comes through email now and not through postal letter which was most common before the computer, internet and sms messages have made communication fantastically fast but has created new types of English which Englishmen may themselves not understand. An example

Here is one which amused because of the contents of the letter. With these Japanese my language of communication is English which they have started picking up now. Read the letter first.

Feedback of p47 2009 Part I
Monday, 24 August, 2009 6:08 PM From: "fumi@.ne.jp" To: knrao@.com

Dear respected Guruji Shri K.N. Rao, Namascar

How are you? I hope your eyes get well now. My name is H. p47 2009 part I ..... Nov 1971 13/33 Yokohama Japan

This is my feedbck of your telling 28 May 2009.

You told me "Job is wating in Japan"

In two month I did some action to find job.  But nothing.  So I decided to training again in India from next month and feedbck to you "job is not wating".

Just I write email you, suddenly my phone ringing and yoga teacher job is coming! What is this?

You make this miracle? I already apply yoga training next month, so I promised do that job back to Japan next year.

Your telling was right. The job place is near temple which have My grandfather and grandmother's grave. I feel they help me finding job and appriciate them.

I hope this information also useful verification for horoscope I’m very happy! Thank you very much!

 

Sincerely, H.

Vimshottari Dasha Rahu-Sat-Ven from 6 Aug 2009 Chara dasha Simha-Karka-Vrischika from 28 Aug 2009

 

 

 

Astrological analysis

The reading was done in May as he says and the feedback came in August. The reason is very clear. See the change of pratyantara dasha between May and August.

 

In RahuSaturn Mercury he took the reading and in Rahu Saturn Venus he got the job back home.

 

Saturn in the fourth house in his horoscope is the twelfth lord showing his foreign connections and it is this planet which brings him to India.

 

Venus pratyantara dasha begins from 6 August 2009 aspecting his own house in the birth horoscope and the chaturthamsha which has to attract him to his native place, his homeland, Japan.

 

In Chara dasha in Simha Karka period with matrikaraka in the tenth house from Simha aspected by amatyakaraka should attract him towards a job in his own homeland.

 

Double transit

In transit Saturn already aspecting the fourth house (Parashari aspect) and Jupiter from Makara would also aspect (Parashari aspect) completes his story of homeward journey.

The  language of the letter is what struck me as funny. We in India have our regional brands and pronunciation of English. In USA, I got used to American English. Australians have their English and accent. But funny English with its vast variety is the monopoly of non English speaking countries.

 

Once I was giving a reading to Japanese woman who did not know a word of English and had brought an interpreter. To verify her horoscope, I put a question about an incident of her teenage years.

 

“Yes” said the interpreter “She says that at that age she lost her virgin”. I understood what was being conveyed and the Japanese must have congratulated himself for his successful work. The letter I have quoted reminds me of that incident.

 (1 Sept. 2009)

PS: I am not surprised because while whole of my life I have enjoyed funny English in India with regional variations, let me quote from a letter circulating in the internet three more samples of Japanese pieces. Something Funny..............?
