Bush’s win leaves Indian astrologers shocked!
More articles on this topic: AstrologyWith George W Bush returning as US president for a second term, Indian astrologers who predicted that the stars and planets favoured John Kerry are somewhat red-faced.
New Delhi-based astrologers SR Krishnamurti and Lachhman Das Madan, who had forecast a win for Kerry, were hard put to explain what went wrong.
“The sub-period of Mercury in the main period of Mercury, which was in operation for Senator Kerry for the last five-sixth months, appears to have been not strong enough to take him to victory,” said Krishnamurti, who not only predicted a Kerry win, but had also said he would usher in an era of world peace.
“Two other planets, the Sun and the Moon, that were earlier on Kerry’s side, also appear to be not favouring him,” added Krishnamurti, a mystic, seeking cosmic reasons for the turnaround.
Lachhman Das Madan, known as Jyotish Samrat (king of astrologers) and a favourite of the Indian political class, was unwilling to throw in the towel.
“I will wait till the final results are out,” he said, shortly before Kerry conceded defeat.
Madan, who had been most forceful in the pro-Kerry prediction, had earlier said: “I reveal the cosmic writ — George Bush cannot become the president of the US again.”
Ajai Bhambi, who had said, “Kerry will not only have an edge over his rival but is likely to defeat him,” was away in the US and could not be reached for comments.
Forming a pre-election minority ahead of the elections was Pandit Uma Shankar Shukla, who had contended that Bush would serve a second term in the White House.
Shukla had predicted that the “Mercury, the eighth Lord, has done Senator Kerry the favour of bringing him out of semi-obscurity and into the limelight.” But, the astrologer had added, this alone would not ensure his victory.
