Astrological View about the Prime Ministerial Candidates !

I am not a politician and do not go even for voting.


Last week my friend, Ajithan, gave me the birth details of Shri Modi ji and we made a horoscope.

Day before yesterday, my friend, Astrologer V G Menon came and printed the horoscope of Rahul Gandhi.

http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/rahulgandhi.htm

He says Rahul does not have much chance, as Modi's horoscope is more powerful.

So I told him why not make Kejriwal's and we made the horoscope yesterday.

http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/kejriwal.htm

V G Menon is of the opinion that Kejriwal's is more powerful than Modi's. I diasgreed with him and said it is 50:50 !

Modi ji is born in three major Yogas, Sasi Mangala Yoga, Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga and Ruchaka Maha Yoga. Jupiter is powerful in the 4th. Mercury is exalted in the 11th. Sun and Ketu are in the 11th. Jupiter aspects Venus and Saturn !

Both Modi and Rahul are born in the Moon Sign of Scorpio or Vrischika. Both are having adverse transits of Jupiter and Saturn. Elarata Saturn and Eighth Jupiter !

Kejriwal, on the other hand, is having the favorable Second Jupiterian Transit. Jupiter will be favorable for him till Jun 19th ! Hence V G Menon prefers Kejriwal.

But I still stick to my stand that Modi's horoscope is equally powerful and the chances are 50:50 !

Paramekkavu Vela on Sravana Day of Dhanus !

Yesterday in the Paramekkavu Devi Temple, Piller Pattu started. Today is the Vela. There will be a procession of 7 elephants and fireworks at night !


Wishing you a Happy Vela !


What the Rishies meant by festivals was an upsurge in spiritual consciousness, the unity of all humanity under the aegis of the Divine ! There will be festivals after festivals for the spiritually oriented Indians, as all months are more or less sacred ! Today is Sravana in the sidereal month of Sagittarius or Dhanus !

Fierceness of rains may subside after Aslesha Njattuvela

On Aug 2, at night, Aslesha Njattuvela began. It is said Ayilya Kallan Akatho Puratho, meaning that is Aslesha Sol, the villain, within or without ! It is the centuries old experience of Keralites that rains will be there, but may lose their fierceness, the fierceness exhibited by the Mrigasira, Aridra, Punarvasu and Pushya Suns !

But here rains have not abated and torrential rain has damaged many parts of Kerala. The dams are overflowing !

The Retreating Monsoon will take over on Oct 17 and rains will be there till Dec 15, till Jyeshta Njattuvela, but the fierceness of Mrigasira, Aridra, Punarvasu and Pushya will be missing !

Jove in the 12th adversely affects Indian Economy !

Look at May stats

24 billion - 44 billion = -20 billion !

Deficit is going up. By this rate, the deficit will be more than 200 billion !

The Big Auto companies are moving to Indonesia and Thailand, due to the sluggish market growth in India ! 

Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Ford are going to invest 24000 cr in Indonesia and 10000 cr in Thailand. High interest rates in India and lack of Indian Government's incentives to trigger sales, while Indonesia and Thailand are giving lots of incentives to car purchasers ! Comparitively India will only get 14000 cr by 2016, way behind her competitors !

Saturn in the Fourth is also bad and the two major planets are at the moment unfavorable for India. 

India hard pressed to defend reputation of being World Champions !

Now India is in the Carribean and two powerful teams are getting at them, the WI and SL !

Dhoni admits that expectations are high for India. The Indian fans want more victories and this will be difficult to give. You cant win all matches all the time. But Young India is very fit, to take challenges. Dhoni has gone on record that a gutsy player is better than a skilled player. Mental toughness is all that counts. 

WI meet SL today for the first match, which begins at 0800 PM IST.






For India, Shikhar Dhawan is now more experienced, wiser and stronger ! Is the the true replacement for Sehwag ? Time alone will tell.

Aridra Njattuvela also devastates !

The Dance of Destruction of the SW Monsoon continues. It is raining cats and dogs here in Guruvayur.

Chalakudy River is overflowing 

Fishermen are warned not to venture into the sea and Trawling is banned. Now the Sun is transiting Aridra and this is known as Thiruvathira Njattuvela in Kerala. 10 days, 10 nights, meaning that there will be sufficient rains with sunny interludes. The Dance of Destruction done by the Head of Orion, Mriga Sira, the samhara thandava of Mriga Sira is gone, replaced  by the still fierce Aridra or Roudra Njattuvela. Njayar means Sun and Velas are  periods, meaning that they are the periods of the Sun. 

On 5 Jul, the Punarvasu Njattuvela will begin and on 19th, the Pushya Njattuvela.
