ASTROLOGY IS THE EYE OF WISDOM-3

SPIRITUAL ASTROLOGY

One day he gave me a manuscript and asked me to home, open it and edit it. Back home, I opened it and found that it was a book on astrology!

I hesitated but when I started reading it, I found subjects like Jyotisha and Karma, Jyotish and the flow of Life Force, Jyotish and Yogic Psychology. Then there were many aphorisms of predictive astrology based on his own experience.

My mother had not taught me spiritual astrology. And now I began to learn that "Jyotish is para vidya, the eye of wisdom, demonstrable knowledge, not a bread winning subject."

My book, "Karma and Rebirth in Hindu Astrology" is based on his analysis and discussion. He had given up astrology in the last years of his life and someone stole that manuscript also. I had to, therefore, write on this subject as I have acknowledged in the preface to that book.

And one day he predicted, after discussing my own horoscope that after doing astrology on international stages, I will renounce life.

His was the physical frame of a Yogi, the diet of a Yogi, the sleep of a Yogi and the self-control of a Yogi. He never fell sick. Once he had said, "Whatever may be the ailment, do fasting and drink the water of the Ganga. Everything will be cured."

And then when I was transferred to Patna he had said, "in eastern India, particularly in Bihar, there will be a revolutionary agitation. I will make such a muhurta for you that amidst raging fires all round you, you will not be hurt." It was a blending of mundane and muhurta astrology.
Things happened as he had predicted. Between 1972 and 1975 there was the agitation of Jaya Prakash Narayan and I witnessed violent incidents every day.

"These fellows cannot even grasp the horoscope of Indira Gandhi". He had said once. "She will trample on everyone and becoming a powerful leader, will become an immortal leader of history." Those days almost every astrology had written that Indira Gandhi could become M.P. (Member of Parliament) but never P.M. (Prime Minister).

I have written in my book, the Nehru Dynasty that he had said many times that Indira Gandhi was making all-important announcements in muhurtas and nakshatras preferred by Tantriks. I have given many illustrations."This becomes very fatal. Such karma destroys whole family. It is now proven correct historically. First her son, Sanjay Gandhi(23 June 1980), Indira Gandhi herself (31 October, 1984) and Rajiv Gandhi (21 May 1991) died violent death. Perhaps, the flickering flame of the Nehru Dynasty will glow again, but dimly, when Sonia Gandhi enters politics.

It is now clear that from 1966 to 1984, Indira Gandhi was a powerful and unparalleled Prime minister.
