PRESIDENT PRANAB MUKHERJI

Two trips outside Delhi and outside India in the month of June gave me only three or four days after the second week to write any piece for the website and two pieces were written. After returning, adjusting the body clock and wishing to see the results of the presidential elections, I waited and then decided to write this piece. Pranab Mukherji has been sworn as president at 11/27 am today 25/7/2012. Work on this horoscope.

The reviews which appeared showed that I have wasted my time in telling some people that website birth details are not reliable. I have written about it many times. Here are two instances.

ATAL BEHARI VAJPAI - HOW MANY HOROSCOPES?
In the year 2000 a biography of his came out in Hindi giving these birth details with Vrischika lagna and birth details as 25 Dec 1924. After that I revealed these all birth details which I had since 1996, as now it was not a secret anymore. I do not know why even now people argue about his year of birth being 1925 or 1926. See some websites.

SHRI ATAL BIHARI VAJPAYEE [BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY - LUCKNOW (UTTAR PRADESH)  - Father's Name - Shri Krishna Bihari Vajpayee, Date of Birth - 25 December 1924 , Place of Birth -Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) , Marital Status –
Unmarried, Educational Qualifications - M.A. (Political Science)

Atal Bihari Vajpayee (The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition 2008 Columbia University Press)- Atal Bihari Vajpayee , 1926-, Indian politician, prime minister of India (1996, 1998-2004).

Atal Bihari Vajpayee (Britannica Concise Encyclopedia): Atal Bihari Vajpayee (born Dec. 15, 1924, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India)

The Library of Congress Overseas Office: Atal Bihari Vajpayee, 1926-...Atal Bihari Vajpayee, born on December 25, 1926 in Bateshwar in Uttar Pradesh, is the Prime Minister Till he was the prime minister, even the website of the Indian parliament was showing his birth year differently and now it has been corrected.

Lal Bahadur Shastri
Dr.B.V.Raman, Hardeo Sharmaji, Suryanarain Vyasji used his horoscope with 9th October as the date and so did Sri Iranganti Rangacharya recently. In the souvenir brought out on Shastriji’s death anniversary some years ago, Moon is shown in Kanya in the horoscope given, while on 2 October 1904 it will be in Mithuna.

Website data is undependable
Some hurried comments show that readers do no read the article intelligently and some do not seem to know astrology well enough. See two instances : 
1.  Mars is in Virgo, a dual rashi. How Mars can aspect 11th house which is Sthira Rashi?
2.  Mars Amatyakaraka (in Kanya) aspects the eleventh house from Simha whose dasha is referred to.

Another comment was why the prediction was not made earlier.  I have referred to my article of 2004 in which I had said WATCH HIM RISE. I have already said that it was an article published in the Star Teller of November 2004. The prediction was given eight years before. What was the reason ? Kanya dasha was starting from 2005 and here there is Amatyakaraka.

IN THE EARLIER PIECE
I had written some personal details noted in my records after meeting both husband and wife, Mr and Mrs Mukherji and done astrological reading and here are some wild guesses by some that the birth details are inaccurate!!

====================================

Years ago, when I was given this horoscope by him and was asked to keep it confidential, I wrote an article in the Star Teller of November 2004 WATCH HIM RISE without disclosing his name or any further details.

**************************************

The mention of his name for presidential election made me dig out his horoscope from my records. One noting there is that the marriage of his PRESIDENT PRANAB MUKHERJIdaughter was fixed for December 1987. More important, his wife (born in 1938), Smt. Geeta (Suvra) Mukherji is a singer of Rabindra Sangeet. I checked to see if she would become the first lady after her husband becomes the president of India. The answer was positive. The date of marriage noted was 13 July 1957. Mr. Mukherji is the fourth child of his parents with two sisters and one brother elder to him and three sisters younger. Mrs. Mukherji is the first child of her parents and has a younger brother.

Now follow some well-known events:

1. In 1984 after the death of Indira Gandhi he, as the senior most member of the Congress Party having become a cabinet minister during the time of Indira Gandhi should have become prime minister. Giani Zail Singh invited Rajiv Gandhi.
2. After the death of Rajiv Gandhi, he could not become prime minister again.
3. In 2004, Sonia Gandhi preferred Manmohan Singh. Someone had then asked me if Pranab Mukherji would never rise higher, being a senior cabinet minister already. Higher has to mean either becoming the prime minister or the president of India. I WROTE THE ARTICLE THEN AND SAID THAT HE WOULD RISE. THE PREDICTION WAS MADE IN 2004, AND IN 2012, I ONLY REFERRED TO IT. LET ME CLARIFY I WAS NOT MAKING A PREDICTION AFTER SRI PRANAB’ NAME WAS ANNOUNCED FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. IT WAS MADE MUCH EARLIER.

In navamsha both AK and Amk and PK aspect each other mutually. The reason is obvious and the dasha was favorable.

CORRECTION
I had two horoscopes and the wrong one was posted in the earlier piece for which I am sorry.

The actual time noted in my records in my own handwriting is: 1 February 1935/ 17/23 MIRATI BIRBHUM DISTRICT  LAGNA  KARKA 14/11

I use horoscopes of celebrities, big and famous people very cautiously because of a very terrible experience I had with the birth details of Babu Jagjiwan Ram once. I use only those which are given to me by the person concerned or his son, daughter or wife or even husband in the case of female celebrity and am asked to keep it confidential for some time or years. After that only I use them, if necessary in my articles without betraying confidences. For example, I have not disclosed the horoscope of the retired president Smt.Pratibha Patil and have seen wrong horoscope of hers used in different places. So it was in the case of the late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat when he was contesting for the post of the president against Pratibha Patil, as the following letter will clarify.

Dr.Saheb,
I am still waiting for your mail. Please also clarify if you had given to other astrologers the same birth details of Shri Bhairon Singh Sekhawat as you gave me, which was different from the one used in many newspapers.

Yours,
K.N.Rao.

Dear Sir,
Same DOB was given to other astrologers. Almost all predicted the victory. It was only you who clearly predicted no chances for his victory.

With Regards,
..... Kumari
D\O Dr. R.S.R.

This was about the late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat and the correspondence with his doctor who is continuing as the doctor also of the present vice president seeking re-election, Shri Ansari.

Knowing the trickiness of politicians, I asked him whether the same birth details (that which appeared in different journals and website were different) were given to all astrologers or not.

I know from my experience that politicians “oblige” astrologers by giving to different astrologers different birth details about the same individual.

In the case of Shri Pranab Mukherji I havealso mentioned some family details in the earlier piece on him.

Let me mention that I met Shri Mukherji and his wife twice personally more than two decades ago when I got this horoscope.

Significant and notable in the case of Shri Mukherji is that lagna was not changing if the birth place was different but the degrees would; Jaimini Karakas were not changing and so the Chara dasha of Kanya was appearing clearly to be the period of his rise and later, Simha from where Amatyakaraka aspects the eleventh house, still more important for his career.

People forget some elementary principles of interpretation. Saturn in the eighth house of politicians, as in the case of Shri Gulzari Lal Nanda, late Chandrasekhar, the late Indian prime and in the case of Shri Mukherji is mostly the case of opportunities denied and one rare opportunity becoming significant but not durable. There are other   such combinations as can be in the horoscopes of Lal Bahadur Shastri, Charan Singh and Gordon Brown.

Karka lagna explains the missed chances of Shri Mukherji and the same eighth house is the cause of worry for his wife’s health, if you know about it.

In news is another important man to whom, on his correct horoscope, I have predicted success. Already on the website some wild guesses, like in the case of Shri Mukherji of his having been born on 11-12-1935 08-49-20 hrs. have been made.

Also remember that when horoscopes cast by astrologers is given to you and the birth time is mentioned without clarifying whether it is IST or LMT, verification of life events becomes necessary.

Do not use the horoscopes of India’s famous men, in politics or in the cinema world mainly unless fully assured by a trusted friend astrologer or the person himself and burn your fingers. Even the mother of Emperor Akbar misled people with the birth details of her world famous son, if you know and read history. English historians not knowing astrology arrived at a wrong date. If the horoscope of Akbar by Jyotik Rai in Akbar Nama was seen and the date calculated astronomically, the correct date would have been arrived at.
