RESULTA INADECUADO QUE UN HOMBRE SE BESE CON OTRO HOMBRE, LE ABRACE O SE AGARREN DE LA MANO

VARAHA MIHIRA, based on his famous KOORMA CHAKRA (which is exhaustively dealt with in his

classic BRIHAT SAMHITA) has divided India into nine sections allotting one section each, to each

triad of Constellations commencing from KARTIK. Important planetary phenomena like the Ashta

Graha Koota (convergence of 8 planets in one sign), scheduled to occur in early FEB 1962 can be

studied and the areas, where the evil effects will befall, located. See KOORMA CHAKRA.

A number of Pandits professing intimate knowledge of Hindu Shastra have been proclaiming that

8 graha-koota of the size and magnitude which occurred thousands of years ago during the Maha

Bharata War is going to recur in 1962 only and that, the Koota of 1962 would result in World War

and major catastrophes. The answer to such critics is that there never was an Ashta Graha Koota

during the Maha Bharata War. A look at the Chart drawn for that period shows that there was only

a combination of 6 planets in Meena (Pisces) and that Jupiter, Mars and Dragon's Tail were far away

from the Congress of Planets. Even the Constellations affected then, Kurukshetra - the place where

the battle raged could be justified based on the division of country through Koorma Chakra.

The Sapta-Graha Koota (convergence of 7 Planets) which occurred on 15 JAN 1934 in Makar (Capricorn)

may be taken as a precedent to assess where the evil effects of the ensuing Koota, much dreaded by

many, would most likely befall.

Basic difference between the two Kootas broadly are :

a. Instead of Dragon's Tail (Ketu), who is already in Makara for the ensuing Koota, there was

Dragon's Head (Rahu) in Makara in 1934;

b. Jupiter, was NOT a member of the Koota in 1934 but was throwing his benefic constellational

aspect on (10th) on Saturn and Mars, will now be a member of the forthcoming Koota.

Yet, the Sapta Graha Koota of 1934 is believed to have brought about, in its wake, the Bihar earthquake

resulting in loss of 7252 lives (as per Government estimates) besides heavy loss of property.

The occurrence of the quake in that part of India is broadly justifiable as per Koorma Chakra, for Bihar

is divided between two triads of Constellations, beginning from Kartik whereon the direct Vedha aspects

of 6 planets fall besides other aspects from planets constellation-wise.

The planets that would be involved in the forthcoming Koota (1962) also cast their Vedha/Constellational

aspects in much the same position plus Ashlesha, thus pointing to the Koota effects falling again in Bihar,

Assam and Bengal.

There is a precedent also for the Ashta Graha Koota of 1962, which we propose as a yardstick to measure

the evil effects of the same. That precedent is none other than the Ashta-Graha Koota that occurred in

OCTOBER 1186 AD, in the sign of Kanya (Virgo).

Similarities between the 1186 and 1962 Kootas are :-

a. The same 8 planets that are to assemble in Capricorn in 1962, assembled in Virgo in 1186;

b. There was a Solar Eclipse in 1186 similar to the one scheduled for 5 FEB 1962;

c. Both the Signs - Virgo (Kanya) and Capricorn (Makara) govern India;

d. Kala Sarpa Yoga is common to both.

Using Prof BV Raman's Ayanamsa, the planetary combination of 1934 was only a conjunction of

6 planets in one sign, Venus, Jupiter and Rahu being outside, whilst in 1962, Jupiter and Venus are

closely involved in the Koota, in much the same way as it happened in 1186. One of the greatly

respected Sages in the field of Astrology, Sage Sukracharya, has stated that Jupiter, on its own,

has the capacity to nullify/counteract all the malefic effects in a horoscope and that the combined

power of both Jupiter and Venus, when in conjunction, is beyond imagination. This is a very important

difference between the 1934 Koota on one hand and the 1186 and 1962 Koota's on the

other. The

four benefics, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Moon will be literally huddled together within about three

degrees a few minutes after the Eclipse. In spite of graha-yudha (planetary war) and combustion,

this conjunction of 4 benefics within the Koota does strengthen the hands of Jupiter to swallow the

evils of other planets.

What happened in India after the last 8 planet combination in 1186 ? There were no newspapers then;

historians were not recording events as we do nowadays. Yet a reference to Indian History pertaining

to that Period shows that a year later or a bit earlier, Muhammad of Ghor (also known Muhammad Ghori)

founded his Empire and his flag started flying over Indian soil. Gujrat, Multan, Uch, Lahore, Ajmer,

Delhi, Kannauj were successfully conquered and brought under his Rule between 1186-1202.

Conversions on a mass scale went on merrily.

What does the 1962 Koota indicate for Delhi, based on the precedents and study made using SB Chakra

for this Koota ? As explained in the chart, no change in Government is likely consequent to the general

elections taking place within weeks of this Koota. This presages stability and continuance of Administration

to a great extent.

From the chart for this Koota, it will be noticed that Ashlesha is receiving Vedha from the 6 planets on

Dhanishta besides Constellational aspects of Saturn and Mars, and transit of Rahu over it.

This looks like

the worst hit Constellation. This star is in the direction of Bengal, Orissa and Virat in Koorma Chakra.

When the Bihar Quake occurred, the very same star received maximum number of Constellational aspects.

In the 1186 Koota, Uttara Bhadrapad and Revati bore the brunt of Vedha aspects as a result of which

some portion of our motherland went under foreign Rule. It looks, therefore, that the planets this time are warning us

that some portion of our land in North Eastern direction may be grabbed by foreigners.

Incidentally, Ashlesha also happens to be the birth star of one of the big five in world politics today, who

is also our beloved Premier, Pandit Nehru. Furthermore, he is running Rahu Maha Dasa, Sani bukti, the

former in 12th and the latter in 2nd, both with aspect of Jupiter. Astrologically, these seem to be the

reasons behind the nasty predictions in circulation about his future. In this connection, it is worth

remembering that Sage Sukracharya (in his book Sukra Kerala Rahasya - Secrets of Kerala Astrology)

says that whilst there are various ways of finding longevity, the term of life of a man, is wholesale in

the hands of GOD, more so for a man, handling the affairs of a nation not for personal gain. In other

words, those dedicating their lives for purely Public Service or humanity, Karma Yogis and Sanyasis

enjoy a sort of planetary immunity from the wrath of planets. Thus, this is not a case for making predictions

based on planets only. We would, however, venture to forecast that he may quit or retire from politics

for the reasons given in para 2 below the chart for this Koota.

Dhanishta is the next Constellation that is worst affected by reason of 6 planets occupying that star plus

Vedha of Rahu. Next worst hit is Sravana with 2 malefics in occupation plus Vedha of 4 planets. These two

stars point to Gujarat and Rajputana surroundings.

Next in the intensity of affliction are Magha and Visakha. The former influences Bengal/Orissa and the

latter, Maharashtra.

Based on the Koorma Chakra methodology and Constellations affected, the provinces on the Chinese coast

and South Africa come under adverse influence denoting loss of life.

The next star in the order of affliction is Rohini with aspect of 3 planets and very little effects of the Koota

are falling on it. At the worst, only 5 constellations are seriously affected out of a total of 28. So it appears

to be a safe proposition to predict that the effects of the Koota, in general, will be experienced in just

one-fifth of the country, varying in intensity and that border troubles are indicated in N.E.

Corner and

mid-West of India. In the 1186 Koota, India did not suffer from earthquakes, Jala-pralaya (incursion of

sea into land) etc. barring consequences of invasion and there should be no earthquakes and catastrophes

of that sort.

Even with regard to individuals, those born in the constellations Ashlesha, Dhanishta, Sravana, Magha,

Visakha and Rohini alone stand to suffer bad luck. Ill health, adverse/untoward happenings, in the order

of priority given, these being conditioned and limited by their current Maha Dasa and Bukti. Those born

on other constellations have nothing to bother about. The severe afflictions of the stars referred to above

is likely to make Rice, Wheat, Gold and Silver, to some extent, dearer.

The above is not Varsha-phal or Gochara-phal but is merely a study covering Ashta Graha Koota only.

Mother Earth has been surviving an Ashta Graha Koota once every thousand years. This Koota of 1962

is at the worst, third one, after Lord Jesus Christ.
