Some 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.
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.

On April 9, I had predicted, “Sun, the prime minister of the year, is in the eighth house and is close to both Saturn and Venus. It definitely means a change of prime ministers.
Somewhere in all this, a mighty woman (Venus) is shaking the throne of the Prime Minister Deve Gowda.”
Before last year’s general election, I had said a woman would create waves in Indian politics. Everyone wanted to know the identity of this woman; many of them, in fact, went ahead and identified her as Sonia Gandhi.
Yet, official sources persistently denied the fact that she would join politics. Now that she has finally joined the Congress, an astrological debate of more than seven years, in which I have been the target of attack by many astrologers, comes to an end. I win and they lose. Let me recall my battle, stage by stage.
In the early eighties, after Sanjay Gandhi’s death, a reporter who had noted the frequency with which Indira Gandhi was visiting Amethi wrote a piece stating the she was grooming that constituency for her first son, Rajiv, whom she wanted to bring into politics. The editor killed the story, reprimanding the reporter for indulging in kiteflying. History proved the reporter’s political judgement correct.
Then started the hunt for Rajiv’s horoscope.
A famous astrologer had given him the Kanya lagna. The rest of us thought he was wrong and stuck to Simha.
In 1991, after seven years of awful confusion, he switched over to Simha lagna without even offering an apology.
Everyone had, by now, begun hunting for Sonia’s horoscope. Many wild guesses were made.
The late Giridharilal Goswami, who had the correct horoscopes of the Gandhi-Nehru family, said that all the horoscopes being used for Sonia were wrong. Through trial and error, I arrived at a horoscope which even Goswami admitted was correct, except for the fact that the time of birth was off by some minutes.
Since I was a government employee, I refrained from using that horoscope. Instead, I passed it on to a fellow astrologer who, in June 1991, made a wild prediction to the effect that Sonia would run away from India within a month.
I was very irritated with him for being so foolish, especially because I knew that Sonia would join politics and head the Congress party.
After retirement from government service in 1990, I have predicted four times that Sonia had an important political career awaiting her. Now that she has finally joined politics, a high post within the Congress Working Committee will only be the beginning of a career of grace and dignity.
Though 1998 is the year of her destiny, she will still face some perils and controversies. Bofors will not embarrass her much, but she will face a lot of secret opposition; there will be numerous attempts to prevent her from rising higher. Yet, she will overcome it all.
From April 1998, her career as a politician will accelerate in leaps and bounds.
