Rajiv Gandhi’s death was seen by me by applying some other dashas of Jaimini (the Sthira dasha, particularly), and also the Vimshottari dasha. But the application of the Vimshottari dasha was purely classical, not the extension of the Atmakaraka of Jaimini to the Vimshottari.
In my book, Predicting through Karakamsha and Jaimini’s Mandook Dasha, which was brought out after this book I have shown major events of the life of Rajiv Gandhi. Here also a full length portrait of Rajiv Gandhi will be given at the end.
Yet when an astrologer wrote to me that I had missed the important event, I had to remind him and others, that:
- I was the only astrologer in India to have predicted it, and one year in advance, on the basis of Leo lagna of Rajiv Gandhi to which I had stuck consistently. In a letter to the editor of the Astrological Magazine I wrote that Rajiv Gandhi’s lagna had to be only Leo. Yet for another six years the magazine used Virgo for him.
- The Astrological Magazine always discussed the horoscope of Rajiv Gandhi giving him Virgo ascendant till the end of 1990. In 1984 the Astrological Magazine discussed this horoscope with wrong birth time and used Chitra Paksha Ayanamsha not Raman’s. Then in 1991 the same horoscope was discussed with a different birth time and with Raman Ayanamsha. If both horoscopes are compared, the Karakas get totally mangled.
Then most enigmatically in 1991, the Astrological Magazine switched over to Leo ascendant for Rajiv Gandhi and in March 1991 predicted the end of Rajiv era.
Most significantly, I chose the Kaal Chakra dasha to predict this event and not the other dashas because, after checking in the other dashas I applied this for some very clear reasons:
- The Kaal Chakra dasha is a combination of the features of Parashara’s nakshatra dashas and Jaimini dashas – the discovery or invention of a super-genius or a great yogi or both, which the great Rishi Parashara was.
- In this dasha there is reference to Simhavlokan (the gaze of a lion) which is represented by the sign Leo which means the lion.
- The great leap that the lion takes is a fascinating indicator at dangers and changes in the Kaal Chakra dasha system.
- The longest leap that is taken in this system is from Sagittarius to Aries. Aries represents the ram, sheep etc. Here there is the description of the lion taking such a leap to pounce on its prey.
- In Kaal Chakra dasha system Leo and Sagittarius become signs of great changes, often taken with risks. Inferentially, they represent great fall also.
In Jaimini system also the dashas of these two signs, Leo and Sagittarius become notable marks of achieving heights and falls in one’s career, and often with risks.
Parashara refers to these in his classic.
The reference to: (a) Leo; (b) Sagittarius; and (c) the Atmakaraka in Jaimini astrology must be made to detect dangers, but not so blindly as astrologers allover India do.
