Dear List members,

I had posted my chart as a puzzle with two dates asking for events that could

have happened then.

The chart was basically posted as a challenge to those who were indulging in

derision of respected astrologers,as was expected those worthies did not

respond when their own skills were sought to be tested.

However a pleasant surprise was that many fellow list members and respected

Gurus like Narasimharaoji and others gave their views on the puzzle. Sanjayji

gave me some insight into my chart and he would give his opinion after everyone

has attempted the puzzle. By the way he could notice some similarity in my chart

and that of a Notable person of India. I think after my father, he is the only

one who could do so, and he is right.

Ajoy, Ramanarayanan,Rajesh,Ash,Sureshchandra, Narayana Iyer and others also

attempted to unravel the puzzle.

I am glad to say that everybody, at some stage or other came near or even hit

one event or other. Various methods , all based on vedic astrology were used.

Some missed the events too. But even here they only attributed a later event

being predicted as having happened earlier. This proves that Vedic astrology is

an exact science. When the results do not exactly match the event one need not

think that the science is wrong, merely that the application was not that

accurate or that the Astrologer's intution was not at peak at the time of

prediction.

I am going to give the results below, as many have attempted the puzzle, if I

have mentioning anyone through oversite, I am certain you will pardon me.Now

about the events:

I was serving in the department of Agriculture, which I had joined in 1965. I

was initially in charge of Air compressor and Blasting scheme for deepening of

wells. Over time I became in charge of central store of Tractor department and

had to get spares manufactured as there was shortage due to import problems.

In 1974 I had floated a company with finance from one of my friends(while still

in service). I had convinced the Yugoslav Govt. Company Yugo Intraco that it

would be beneficial to manufacture spare parts of their Tractors in India and

had demonstrated my ability to do so. On day one(25th Feb) we discussed

everything at Mumbai in the embassy the final agreement for collaboration was

to be signed next day. On that day at about 11.00 a.m. the comercial attache

and the Consul informed us that the deal has fallen through as some problem

arose between Indian and Yugoslav Govt. and they had received a telex not to go

ahead. The reason was of course told to us, but is immaterial here. Only that

there was some deal on railway wagons due to which our we got affected. You can

imagine what a setback it was.

This was Sat-Moon-Sun Maha-Antar-Pratyantar period. Mars my lord of the 5th was

in 6th house and Sun Lord of 9th was in 3rd house. The connection to Govt. and

Fire(those were the days of steam locomotives) is obvious.

Other event was that my grandson was born on 13th Nov. 2003.

Ketu-Sat-Mer-Jup-Merc. In Gochar-Saturn joins natal Saturn and aspects 9th and

Lord of ascendant is exalted aspecting my 4th house with Mars in 10th house

aspecting Ascendant. Adhi yoga formed in Gochar wrt my 5th house at that time.

It might interest the members that my grandson had Mark of Trishula on his

forehead(Red) identical with that I had when I was born.

If I have missed mentioning anybody's name, it is through oversight and I am

certain that I would be pardoned for that.

This was also an attempt on my part, that even data of Natal Horoscope navamsha

and Vimshottary dashas with gochar position used properly can, with the grace

of God, help one give a fairly accurate prediction. I salute the knowledge of

the menbers of this list.

In humility,

Chandrashekhar.

Thanks for the puzzle and its solution. Your summation of the various attempts

by members is very striking. The Science is Accurate, but the application can

be mistaken
