DURING THE YEAR 2010....

My readers are curious to know what New Year, 2010 has in store. There is no astrological or puranic importance to Gregorian new year. Hindu new year is Chandramaana Ugadi and our national calendar is Hindu Panchanga. National pride is not reflected suitably in such western festivals, like New Years Day. Passing away of Mother Theresa was an unimportant news when another Indian become Miss. Universe, even for devoted Bengali Christens. There is nothing wrong in wishing a "Happy New Year" but let us not forget to wish the same on Ugadi day also.

Major planets - shani, rahu, ketu and guru decide the fate of the year. Shani transits in kanya rasi throughout the year. From 14.01.2010 to 31.05.2010 and from 14.09.2010 to 18.10.2010, shani is retrograde in the same sign. Shani suffers combustion from 14.09.2010 to 18.10.2010. Rahu and ketu transit in dhanus and mithuna in the entire year. Guru transits in kumbha and meena. Guru is in kumbha till 02.05.2010 and from 01.11.2010 to 07.12.2010 and guru transits in meena rasi in own sign from 03.05.2010 to 31.10.2010 and from 08.12.2010 till the end of the year. Guru is retrograde from 24.07.2010 to 18.11.2010 to 18.11.2010 and from 15.02.2010 to 15.03.2010. Guru is combust from 15.02.2010 to 15.03.2010.

New year is not an astronomical phenomenon that ancient Hindus used to make mundane charts. The accuracy in the new year chart is less than that of sankramana or Ugadi. Let us make reasonable comparison between Indian foundation chart an new year charts.

As rasi in new year chart and foundation chart are in 12 / 2, the purpose of independence is not achieved during this year. The developments are also not totally adverse. This year, children, intellectuals and stage artists have good time ahead. There will be labour problems and intelligentsia in ruling party will be divided. Opposition parties humble the government. Opposition will manage to have some media bytes, that is all! Labour unrest in leather, wool and liquor industries, natural oil refineries and strike by university teaching staff is possible. Debt position of the government is comfortable. There will be lot of trade activities. Population does not mind purchasing gold and costly articles, at the cost of food. General health will go down, while new consumer durables flood market. As usual, there are border clashes, verbal exchanges between our ever friendly neighbours. At times, it hurts India's image, but in a long run, it helps to prove that India has behaved in suitable way. Opposition wants to seize the opportunity to project that the government has no courage. But, patience exercised by the government pays rich dividends. Across 4th and 10th, we have five planets. There are conflicts among the states in the republic and the constituents parties of the government. There are less natural calamities and accidents. Children, journalists, stage artists and intellectuals have good days ahead. You can not expect more from opposition, they are weak to give a fight to ruling party. However, they are able to forge some unity among themselves. General health of the country is good, but there is outbreak out of diseases that effect digestive system like jaundice. The population becomes tolerant and there is less hatred among masses. Insurance companies, tax departments bring huge revenue to government. People worship the Gods of Wealth and Pleasure. As it is expected from them, government babus continue their corrupt practices, unabated. But due to kuja retrograde and neecha, at times corruption is temporarily halted due to fear. Taxation departments show integrity [God bless them], sending waves of fear across government babus and business community. One of the shipping companies or beverage manufacturers or a manufacturer of new paddy variety (that is said to be cancerous) will down shutters or occupies centre stage in media. This takes long hours of parliament. Finally, the whole issue will fizzle out to nothing.

My learned readers in Andhra, Telangana, US, Canada and in Australia are keen to know regarding formation of a new state in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. Andhras say, "There is no discrimination, atrocity on Telengana people. By claiming a separate state, they have betrayed us". Telangana people say, "Because of these Andhras, our 35,000 people are working hard in Gulf, Andhras have robbed all employment opportunities". Some parties advocate smaller states in the name of efficient administration. For that matter, all the states in central India speak Hindi, but are divided into many states. Telangana, Andhra and Rayalaseema regions have same culture and language. Being a big state, it will be easy to demand a large chunk from the centre, so say the United Andhra advocates. Both the movements have cost precious lives and properties worth crores.

There was a formidable competitor to US in USSR, until it fragmented into many republics - Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. US was happy as the opponent disintegrated, but later on, US became more worried about nuclear installations falling into wrong hands. Similarly, it may be possible to control a similar unrest in a large state than in several small states.

Too many states to cause confusion to old timers and little brains in pre-schools. Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Delhi and Goa have been added to the list of states. Telangana, Rayalaseema, Vidarbha, Gorkhaland, Bodoland, Harit Pradesh, Bundelkhand and Purvanchal are in the queue! We can go on making small, smaller and smallest states like State of Garib Gaum [For late comers: This newly proposed state has been neglected and is called a mere village, in the State of Poverty. Despite Mrs. Gandhi trying to do Garibi Hatao, no Garibs left the village, unfortunately]. When we reach the magic figure of 600, we can invite the British to unite us [let them take some 600 years or more]. India had 600 states and provinces when the British left.

Telugu speaking areas were carved out of Madras state due to popular agitation led by Sri. Potti Sriramulu in 1952. The States Reorganization Commission was not in favour of merger of Telangana region with the then Andhra. The central government ignored this and established unified Andhra Pradesh on November 1, 1956. However, an agreement was made to reassure Telangana as well Andhra in terms of power sharing, administrative, domicile rules and distribution of expenses. Mutual aspect between debilitated guru and debilitated kuja, across the lagna of foundation chart caused the recent unrest. Since 21.12.2009, guru has moved out of makara rasi. This restores normalcy in the region. As transit guru is moving across natal kuja in the foundation chart, the heat lingers in the air for one more year. In the foundation chart, kuja, the planet of fight and unrest, (also yoga karaka) is in the worst 8th. It implies, the state is bound to break up in to smaller portions in due course. This is the way it goes on - whether you like it or not. As the affliction is too severe, it can not be prevented but only postponed. A P state is undergoing shani dasa - ravi bhukti. Both these planets are bitter enemies. Loss of son or father and also upper hand of Centre are seen here. Bitter misunderstanding between Centre and State governments are possible. The confusion (or it is an intelligent move to keep two warring brothers at bay?) caused by Father at the Centre will hold good till 17.08.2010. Chandra bhukti from 17-08-2010 to 17-03-2012 slightly cools down the issues. Note that Shani hates chandra but chandra does not hate shani. Chandra in the 3rd being lagna lord, makes the advocates of unified state, go extra mile to compromise with the warring brother. But, this is not appreciated well as kuja aspects chandra. In utter frustration unified fellow tells his brother to "take anything you wish and be out. I can build my own fortune without you and your Hyderabad toys. But, it is you who will perish". The brother seizes the opportunity, " You said, I should get out, I will and you are the root cause for separation!" and goes away in kuja bhukti from 17-03-2012 to 26-04-2013. Chandra bhukti is the period of emotions, rhetoric and tears. Provocations turn man into a monster. The violence we saw now, is nothing compared to what is in store, during kuja bhukti. God forbid such violence. In the mean time, the youngest Royal brother will remain with Costa brother.

All these are passing thoughts, we have our own problems. We do not have anything to loose or gain by most of mundane affairs. Even if we are concerned, there is very little we can do. If a Brown Babu, IAS takes a small brief case in a party, I can not prevent him. When he purchases 100 gms. of salt, a towel or under garment out of government money (he is very poor, gets a salary of only 75,000/- month), I can not do any thing. The documents are fool proof! Being a smallest person in the vast universe, I can keep my table, my hands and my mind clean! I have a say in my limited domain. Let us examine how these tiny domains are influenced by planets in the new year.
