Victim of politics
of religion
In
all likelihood, it is a ploy by Ms Jayalalithaa to distance
herself publicly from the pontiff and his Brahminical legacy.
For, herself a Brahmin and a ritualistic one at that, her
position remains precarious as leader of the AIDMK, an anti-Brahmin
party, that has forlong been feuding with the DMK for supremacy
in the Dravidian movement.

When Shankaracharya of Kamkoti, Jayendra Saraswati, was
arrested in Mercury-Saturn-Mercury-Saturn-Rahu the ugliest
chapter of the religious history of India got written whose
author was Jayalalitha, the chief minister of Tamilnadu.
Even in the worst days of foreign domination of India by
Muslim and Christian powers no Shankaracharya was treated
in such a manner as the Tamilnadu government of Jayalalitha
has done.
In his horoscope, Mercury the sixth lord is in the sixth
house under RK axis and Saturn,retrograde in his own house,
is aspected by Venus from the eighth house. It was the pratyantara
dasa and sookshma dasha of Mercury and Saturn while the
praana dasha was of Rahu in the twelfth house of imprisonment..
Saturn and Mercury both are aspected by Jupiter the twelfth
lord for the purposes of this analysis. Thus six-eight
and twelfth connect ion is effective. Such periods are known
for criminal trials.
In Chara dasha it is the mahadasha of Meena, sixth
from Atmakaraka, Jupiter in Tula and the antardasha of Karka
which contains Sun the Gnathikaraka. Clearly it is a period
of trouble for him.
A rashi dasha which is sixth
or eighth from the Atmakaraka can be adverse while Gnathikaraka
shows the enemies.
In Yogini dasha, it is Rahu mahadasha in the twelfth house
and antardasha of Venus in the eighth house.
In all the three dashas, six, eighth and twelve houses come
into play indicating the events which have shaken up many
people in India .
Why in Mercury-Saturn
?
Why did this happen in Mercury-Saturn
period in the Vimshottari dasha was a question many people
asked. Mercury is the sixth lord in the sixth house though
he is also the ninth lord. Mercury has to therefore give
the results of both houses which it has given already. It
is in the Mercury mahadasha, the ninth lord, that he succeeded
his guru, Paramacharya Chandrasekhar Saraswati took his
samadhi in 1994 or 1995.
As the sixth lord, Mercury
has to create its own problems, his battles with enemies
which in this case is the combined strength of DMK and AIADMK
against him and his mutth which is said to be symbolic of
some remnants of Brahmanical traditions in the anti Brahmin,
anti-north, anti-Hindi politics of Tamilnadu since the days
of Ramaswamy Naicker, Annadurai, M.G.Ramachandran and now
Karunanidhi.
Sixth lord's dasha
in the last part of life
In hundreds of horoscopes
a group of students of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan analysed
and presented in a seminar on 7 November 2004, it was a
unanimous conclusion that if the mahadasha of the sixth
lord comes in the last part of one's life, it leads to opposition,
sickness and fights with the disadvantage of physical weakness
and there is the diminishing of physical stamina, making
life difficult. So it is in the case of Shankaracharya Jayendra
Saraswati in the year 2004. He has high blood pressure and
suffers from diabetes.
Why Saturn antardasha
?
The antardasha of Saturn
in which all this happened becomes significant in many ways:
a) Saturn is associated with
Moon in mrityubhaga .
b) Saturn is the lord of
the 64 th navamsha.
Nakshatra
Those who go by nakshatras
can notice that both Saturn and Mercury in whose dasha periods
it happened are in the nakshatra of Rahu in the twelfth
house.
Transits ( 11 November
2004 )
Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati
was arrested on the night of 11 November 2004 at 10 pm in
a way which reminded many Indians of the dark days of National
Emergency of 1975 when Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay
Gandhi had committed many atrocities. Political leaders
opposing Indira Gandhi were arrested and put in jail, civil
liberties were curbed, sterilization drive was launched
not with intelligence and persuasion but with the barbarism
of middle ages.
Such actions, needless to
say, always provoke a harsh comment from males: whether
woman known more for impulsive and vindictive decisions
is ever fit to be head of any government. No one may have
written openly about it but there are unavoidable snide
comments about giving to women such top positions when we
see repetitions of the excesses of Indira Gandhi's National
Emergency of 1975.
Jayalalitha has already shown
such tendencies first by coming out with anti-conversion
bills, suspending and dismissing many government servants,
putting her strongest opponent , Karunanidhi in jail in
most dramatic and ludicrous way.
Now approving a similar action
against Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati but withdrawn
action against government servants and also the anti-conversion
bill.
Saturn was
in Karka then in 1975 and it is in Karka again now in 2004.
It is necessary to see that
Saturn in transit is over the birth Sun, representing governmental
action, is so close in degrees.
Jupiter is in the ninth house from the lagna but eighth
from birth Moon. Then as many as four planets, Ketu, Mars,
Sun and Moon in Tula on an amavasya day in the
tenth house from the lagna and ninth from the birth Moon
complete a dismal picture of unfavourable transits.
The unknown area!
What has come out so far
in the press is all about the alleged crime of Shankaracharya
Jayendra Saraswati and there has been no hint even about
any mysterious money transactions involved.
Saturn as the second lord
with Moon in mrityubhaga , aspected by Venus from
the eighth house and Jupiter from the tenth house, shows
some money transactions in which top people in the government
and in high political power are involved.
To dismiss it as some
alleged withdrawal from the bank to pay the accused assasin
is to overlook something much more mysterious and unknown
to us. If and when such a story comes out, it will have
become merely historical.
Outcome ?
I have given my prediction
about the outcome of this case to some of his devotees which
I will not and cannot reveal here. Enough it is to draw
your attention to the beneficient aspect of Jupiter on both
the mahadasha lord, Mercury and the antardasha lord , Saturn.
But what is happening is that a revolution is taking place
with Saturn in Karka. (see the website for an article on
this subject.) Saturn, Rahu-Ketu and Mars are in kendras
from each other and in the Indian Independence horoscope
it is the dasha periods of Venus-Saturn and Mars/Rahu)

Indian Independence Horoscope
“Though we do not have the horoscope of the prime minister
of India, Sri Manmohan Singh we can take some help from
the national horoscope of India in which there the dasha
of Venus-Saturn-Mars from 9 August 2004.
This Mars will pave the way for some major changes at the
centre. And being the seventh and twelfth lord, aspecting
exactly the twenty second dreshkona, is not an indication
of non-violent events. What is being pointed is that , without
being alarmists, we should be prepared for some violent
events in the second half of the year 2004, particularly
in the period from August to November , with possibly September
seeing some climax of it all.
To add to it is the chara
dasha in which it is going to be Karka-Dhanu from 13 Augustwith
all the planets in Karka falling in the eighth house. The
violent nature of Dhanu is well known in Jaimini astrology.
But planets are pointing
towards disturbance, communal in nature with violence leading
to some tragedy and also changes at the top level at the
centre.

Karunanidhi suspects
"motives" behind seer's arrest
Chennai, Nov. 22. (PTI):
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president M Karunanidhi
today said he suspected "personal vengeance and motives"
behind the way in which Kanchi Sankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati
was treated after his arrest.
"We have welcomed
the arrest of Sankaracharya but now we have come to know
that there are certain things behind the arrest. There is
personal vengeance on the part of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa,"
he alleged.
He said the Sankaracharya
was arrested only after two and a half months after the
temple official Sankararaman was murdered. "What happened
in between. Why is the delay. They say it was due to investigation.
But on hearing certain facts, doubts have been created,"
he said.
Asked whether there
was a political motive behind the arrest, he said, "there
are a lot of personal issues between Jayalalithaa and the
Sankaracharya. This should not be forgotten."

PIL in SC seeks CBI
probe into
Kanchi seer's arrest
New Delhi , Nov. 22 (PTI):
A public interest litigation was filed today in the Supreme
Court seeking a CBI probe into the arrest of Kanchi Shankaracharya
in a murder case, alleging that the Tamil Nadu police was
"showing bias" against the religious leader.
The petition filed by B P
Singhal, a BJP Rajya Sabha MP, accused the State police
of implicating the seer in the murder case and sought transfer
of the case to another State, his counsel Harsh Vir Pratap
Sharma, said.
Sharma said that the manner
in which the Seer was arrested indicated violation of several
guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court in the D K Basu
case.
The petition is likely
to be mentioned before the Supreme Court tomorrow morning,
Singhal's counsel said.

The Brahmanical stranglehold
November 22, 2004
... It now transpires
that very little of these grave charges can be substantiated.
In fact, the police have not even submitted their preliminary
evidence to court. You would have imagined that the authorities
would have proceeded against a person as revered as the
Shankaracharya on the strength of watertight evidence. But
no, they arrested him and humiliated him on the basis of
suspicion.
The reasons lie in
the vagaries of Dravidian politics, particularly the competitive
inclination to invoke anti-Brahmin sentiment. Let us not
forget that the DMK had threatened an agitation against
the state government if it did not proceed against the Kanchi
seer.
Karunanidhi was,
in effect, daring the Brahmin Jayalalithaa to take action
against the Brahmin Shankaracharya. For him, this was just
another handle to beat Jayalalithaa with. By ensuring the
Shankaracharya was booked, regardless of the evidence, Jayalalithaa
has at least ensured that Karunanidhi can no longer charge
her of having a Brahminical bias.

Accused in Kanchi
case recants
November 24, 2004 20:17 IST
... In a twist to
the investigation into the Sankararaman murder case, in
which Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati has been
arrested, one of the five key accused on Wednesday did a
turnaround, saying all his earlier statements were made
under "duress". Kathiravan told a remand court in Kanchipuram
that the police tortured him right from November 3, the
day he was arrested.
TAccording to the
prosecution, the seer was arrested following information
provided by Kathiravan and another accused, Rejini alias
Chinna, both arrested on November 9. Kathiravan had made
an in-camera statement under Section 164 of Criminal Procedure
Code before another magistrate court on November 19.
Kathiravan and Chinna
were produced before Judicial Magistrate I G Uthamaraj for
the extension of their 15-day judicial remand, which expired
on Wednesday. Chinna also said that the police tortured
him.
At one stage, the
prosecution objected to the recording of Kathiravan's statement,
but the magistrate overruled the objection. After recording
their submissions, the magistrate extended their remand
till December 8.
