Predictions of a Disastrous Period

[Guest guest]

THE DREADFUL PERIOD 2007 – 2008

 

It appears that the period from mid-2007 to mid-2008 will prove to be

both dreadful and full of potentialities according to two reputed

astrologers. These are condensed by a friend in Chennai removing most

of the astrological jargon. Although these forecasts are for nations,

even individuals should be cautious in this period

 

In astrological parlance there are periods called dashas in the life

of individuals and nations, which are ruled by their planets. The

periods of dasha changes are usually full of tensions and strife.

During 2007-08 there are changes in the dasha periods for three major

countries, India, USA and Russia. Hindu astrologers also consider the

position of the planets at the commencement of the lunar (Shaka) new

year (in this case 19 March 2007) for predicting the events during the

year

 

Sri K. N. Rao, Editor: Indian Journal of Astrology,

(http://www.journalofastrology.com/)

 

Without sounding to be a prophet of doom, let me answer a question put

to me by friends who have read my astrological articles in Hindi for

the last two years warning about the years 2007-2008 as dreadful. It

is necessary to look at the danger indicated astrologically, the

damage resulting both from man made and natural calamities in the

coming years, particularly in 2007-2008. Is the nation safe,

particularly the capital of India, Delhi is a question that must worry us.

 

USA

 

That may be in 2007 when USA may decide to use some "ultimate" weapons

to threaten West Asian countries to force them to come down on their

knees. In turn, it may lead to domestic disasters. There can be many

such inferences.

 

It is a terrible frustration in USA coupled with a mood of desperation

that is visible now. American officials had expected the violence to

drop after Iraqis regained control of their government in the belief

that Iraqi security forces would be better at gathering intelligence

and support for militants would erode. But continuing attacks suggest

that it will take time, possibly years, to crush the insurgency. How

will Iraqi insurgency ever end with Muslims identifying it as an

attack on Islam?

 

Will USA have to resort to the use of very dangerous nuclear weapons

in utter desperation, with Russia facing a similar problem, agreeing

implicitly and China only protesting but doing nothing?

 

India

 

In the case of India, it appears much worse. The New Year horoscope of

2007 shows affliction by both Saturn and Mars and the best planet

Jupiter in the eighth house. It is a war like situation.

 

India has always to remind itself that Pakistan has made it clear

through actions and statements that the threat of war between these

two countries will remain until the Kashmir issue is resolved. The

word "resolved" has two meanings as it has been since the days of

Jawaharlal Nehru. India cannot part with this piece of territory and

Pakistan must claim it as its own or see it as an independent country.

 

Though Al Quaeda may have been partly annihilated as an organization,

it is well recognized that, the Al Quaeda spirit remains unsubdued and

will keep creating waves after waves of jehadis which is a world

problem for whole of USA, Europe and a major non-Muslim country like

India.

 

In the middle of 2007, particularly in the month of August, Saturn

Ketu conjunction in Simha with Mars in Vrisha and Mithuna are most

dangerous portents for the safety of India and particularly the

capital, Delhi. The year in which Mars retrogrades and stays long in

two rashis are notable for violent incidents is what we must also

remember. Also Saturn in Simha has given enough problems to India and

its governments in the past. In 2007, it will be more dangerous,

because it will be with Ketu and there will be mutual aspect with

retrograde Mars.

 

Though there has been no replicable astrological research on

earthquakes, all indications in 2007 are of earthquakes in India and

elsewhere. The city of Delhi falls now under a dangerous seismic belt,

with a prominent fault, as seismologists have pointed out, running

from east Delhi towards Meerut. Delhi will in any case suffer some

destruction, whether it is earthquake or war. Can it be an indication

of a terrible earthquake affecting Delhi, destroying it partly or fully?

 

Russia

 

In the case of Russia, the beginning of Rahu dasha will be creative no

doubt and economically very beneficial. But the beginning of Rahu

dasha is always uncomfortable. Rahu also represents in this case

Russia's unsolvable Chechnya problem and its possible repercussions in

the former Muslim republics, which are gradually swinging towards

fundamentalism.

 

Summing up the year 2007, a year of disaster is also the beginning of

a painful change all over the world.

 

Sri Kurumathur Parameshwaran Nambudiripad (a well-informed and

spiritually-oriented astrologer)

 

Taking the time of Indian Independence as a reference point, it has to

be noted that it was a period of Kaala-sarpa yoga, an inauspicious

combination of planets, which indicated the sufferings and

difficulties that followed. Subsequently whenever this combination

recurred some untoward happenings had occurred. Also at the time of

Independence, Saturn was in an unfavourable position.

 

>From 1987 onwards Shukra-dasha started. This dasha, which continues

now, is to some extent a period of material progress, but also a time

marked by the decline of spiritual values and materialistic dominance

and this state will continue till the Aadithya-dasha beginning in June

2007. Saturn is also now in a very inauspicious position and it will

move to a more favourable position by July 2007. Therefore, till then

the country has to face serious difficulties. As Aadithya (Sun) is

Aathmakaaraka, his dasha will mark the dawn of a spiritual

renaissance. The circumstances for better social harmony and progress

will begin and other nations also will be benefited by the Indian

example. Even subsequent Kaala-sarpa-yoga, contrary to its

inauspicious character would take a reverse stance that will be

beneficial.

 

Although the planetary positions are getting favourable from the

second half of 2007, the second half will still be an unfavourable

period because the six months before the meeting point of Sukra-dasha

and Aadithya-dasha and six months after this will be inauspicious.

Moreover, combined with this the 4-month's swaapahaara period of

Aadithya-dasha will also be unfavourable, Therefore, what Sri K. N.

Rao said is relevant.

 

However, the subsequent emergence of a spiritually-oriented age will

take India to a renaissance, which will be recognised and accepted by

the world. Although the Aadithya-dasha is only for 6 years, the new

energy created during this period will be powerful enough to eclipse

the negative effects of the inauspicious combinations of planets at

the time of Independence. The following Chandra-dasha of 10 years will

reinforce the country with considerable mental strength.

 

It should be remembered that the phases of difficulties are not merely

because of the physical effects of the particular combinations of the

planets since the combinations of planets are only the indications of

the particular character of the impact of an individual's or a group

of people's karma, as astrology is a science mainly based on the

theory of karma. But spiritual reinforcement through the chanting Rama

Nama, mass prayers and appropriate rituals like homas, yagas, etc.,

will greatly help to modify the kaarmic impacts and to alleviate the

ill effects of the period up to 2008.

 

According to him spirituality should not be seen isolated from

political and social well-being and the decline of Hinduism can be

greatly attributed to the decline of spirituality too. Spirituality

does not mean (as is often misunderstood) as withdrawal from life. It

is, in fact, reinforcement of every aspect of life and expanding to

greater dimensions of strength and freedom. And whenever India was

mighty spiritually, the Hindu culture was strong in every respect and

it spread over a major part of the world with ease giving people

solace and a greater vision of life. He feels that such a cultural

conquest by India will take place in the future.
