HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS OF PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU.

Introduction : May—27, today is the Vardhanti (death day anniversary) of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Nehruji was the first Prime Minister of India (1947—64). Moon is in his own house in birth lagna (ascendant); Cancer; he is royal & has strong personality& diplomacy; he has lot of receptivity, compassion, flexibility or adjustability and has ability to understand others problems and feelings. He is a visionary and loved India ardently; he is, in fact, the architect of modern India. Some of his political policies might be totally wrong like his handling Kashmir issue and harmed the interests of India permanently. But he is the real Bharath Ratna; and an illustrious son of India. He was a true patriot and I admire him.

He is a real pandit (a very great scholar); his books like “Glimpses of World History and Discovery of India” and other collected works reflect his erudition, wisdom and knowledge. I studied them in my teen-age. I was inspired by his writings. I admire his multi-faceted personality and genius, in spite his many shortcomings. When we examine carefully the later persons who succeeded Nehru and ruled India during the past 62 years, I believe Nehruji was the best person with many noble qualities of head and heart.

For about 3 decades, Nehru dedicated his life for independence struggle; he was one of the key-persons in that freedom-fight. He spent several years in various prisons in India. He underwent severe troubles; later his tenure as Prime Minister of India was not a carpet of roses; he always had mental tensions due to Pakistan’s aggressions, and Chinese’s aggression on India and international unrest due to cold-war problems. He suffered severe mental agony due to Chinese betrayal of Pancha-seela principles laid down for world-peace and their cruel aggression on India. India was totally defeated in that war (during 1962); but saved by the timely intervention of J.F. Kennedy, the then President of U.S.A. He stopped the war and restored peace. Pandit Nehruji finally had brain hemorrhage in Simla and died.

Opinions of ancient expert saint-astrologers :-

Now I explain the effect of Sun in 5^th house (Sri Maha Lakshmi sthana) = Lagna panchame Surya-phalam. 5^th house is a highly beneficial house. It pertains to progeny (children), inclinations, pleasure, artistic talent, recreation, amusement, sports, romance, competitive activities like cards, crosswords, lottery, gambling or betting, love affairs, ambassadors, good or bad morals, mantra-tantra, religious mindedness, high learning and wisdom, intelligence, enormous riches, spiritual practice etc. Sun is adored as a God; but in vedic astrology he is deemed to be a malefic planet.
Effects : Views of renowned astrologers : 1) Saint-Astrologer Maharshi Parasara (Great grand-father of Pandavas and Kauravas of Mahabharatha epic; father of Maharshi Veda Vyasa) wrote : (sloka = Sanskrit verse) :- PUTHRA-BHAAVAE BHASKARAE, BAALYA-DUHKHA, NA-BHAVATHI DHANA-BHOGI, YAUVANAECHA AARTHI-YUKTHAA, JANAYATHI SUTHAM EAKAM, SVA-ARJITHA DHANA-BHOGI, CHAPALA, KATHINA-CHITHAHA, KROORA KARMAHA, KUCHELA = IF SURYA (SUN) STAYS IN 5^TH BHAAVAM (HOUSE), THE PERSON SUFFERS MISERY & TOUBLES IN CHILDHOOD; HE ENJOYS MEAGER COMFORTS IN ALL HIS LIFE; HE SUFFERS WANT-OF-MONEY; HE SUFFERS TROUBLES, MISERY & ANTAGONISTIC CONDITIONS IN HIS YOUTH; HE SHALL HAVE ONLY ONE SON; HE ENJOYS HIS HARD-EARNED MONEY ONLY; HE IS FICKLE-MINDED & UNSTABLE; HIS NATURE IS ROAK-HARD & HAS NO COMPASSION / CONSIDERATION; HE INDULGES IN CRUEL ACTIVITES OR TRADE; HE WEARS DIRTY & SOILED CLOTHES; HIS LIFE IS MISERABLE.

2) Bhrigu Sutras- by saint-astrologer Maharishi Bhrigu (3500 BC):-- Suthra (51) :- Nirdhanaha; sthoola-dehi; sapthame varshe pithru-arishtavaan; Suthra (52) :- Medhavee, alpa-puthraha; budhimaan; Suthra (53) :- Bhava-adhipe bala-yuthe, putha-siddhihi; Suthra (54) :- Rahu, Ketu yuthe, sarpa-saapath, puthra-kshayaha; Suthra (55) :- Kuja-yuthe sathru-moolath sutha-nashanam; Suthra (56): Subha-graha (Guru; Sukra) -yuthe, veekshithe, na-doshaha; Suthra (57) :- Surya shar bhadhishu, Surya-bhakthaha; Suthra (58) :- Surya bala-yuthe, puthra samrudhi = If the Sun is in the fifth house, the native will be poor, of bulky body and in his seventh year his father will face death, serious illness or misfortune. The native will be wise and brilliant but will have few children. If the lord of the 5th is well placed and strong there will be no death of sons. If the Sun is associated with Rahu or Ketu, there will be loss of children due to curse of the Serpent God. If the Sun is in conjunction with Mars, there will be loss of children due to enemy but there will be no such loss if the combination of the Sun and Rahu or the Sun and Ketu or the Sun and Mars is aspected by a benefic (Jupiter or Venus). When the Sun is in the fifth house the native will become a devotee of the Sun God. If the Sun is strong the children will be prosperous.
Explanation :- The 5th is 9th to 9th house and is therefore treated as a house of fortune (Bhagya) also. The view of Maharshi Bhrigu seems to be that the Sun as a malefic afflicts the 5th house and therefore the native remains devoid of wealth. While we agree with this view, we also hold the view that the native will have good fortune if the Sun becomes a functional benefic on account of lordship of an auspicious house. The Sun is a functional benefic, (a) For Taurus Ascendant when as lord of the 4th in 5th , (6) Leo Ascendant when as lord of the Ascendant, he will be in the 5th, (c) for Libra Ascendant when he will be lord of 11th in the 5th , (d) for Scorpio Ascendant when as lord of the 10th he will be in the 5th and (e) for Sagittarius Ascendant when as lord of the 9th he will be in the 5th in Aries, his sign of exaltation. In these cases the Sun in 5th will make the native wealthy, learned, respected and very intelligent. There is no doubt that affliction of the Sun by Rahu, Ketu or Mars in the 5th house will cause loss of children unless there is a powerful influence of a benefic on the 5th house. The adverse results may also not occur if the lord of the 5th and Jupiter (significator of children) are well placed and have benefic influence on them. It is said that if the Sun is strong in the fifth, the sons will be prosperous. This will happen only when the Sun is in his own sign Leo or when the Sun is in Aries his sign of exaltation. When the Sun is posited in these signs, the native will not only be well off himself, he will be blessed with healthy and prosperous children who will be a source of happiness to him.
3) Brihath Jataka by Varhamihira (325 AC) :-- The person concerned will be childless and with out wealth.
4) Phala-deepika by Manthreswara :-- The native will be bereft of happiness, wealth and children. He will also be short lived. He will be intelligent and wise and will be fond of wandering in the jungles.
5) Saravali by Maha-Raja Kalyana Varma (10^th century A.C; king of Vyaghrapaada kingdom) :-- The native will be unhappy, poor, without children, agriculturist, resident of mountain-regions, wise, without bodily strength and short lived.
6) Chamatkara Chintamani by Narayana Bhatt (5^th century AC) :-- The native will lose his eldest son. He will be very intelligent and will influence others by his superior knowledge. He will accumulate wealth. He may die due to some stomach ailment.
7) Jataka Kalanidhi : NIRDHANAHA, SVALPA-PUTHRAHA, DEVATHA-ANUGRAHANA-PUTHRA-PRAAPTHI, HRUDROGI, PITHRA-ARISHTAM, BRUHATHKUKSHI, KARMA-VIGHNHA = When the Sun is in 5^th house, the person shall have poverty, less number of sons, children born out of grace of God, heart-disease, harm to father, big-belly, and he / shall cause hurdles in others efforts / works.

My views :- The views expressed in the above rneowned astrologers tally in essence with those expressed in Bhrigu Sutras. As we have already stated in our detailed comments above, the adverse results such as loss of children etc. with the Sun in the 5th will be experienced with ascendants other than Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Of course adverse results may be expected in the case of all the ascendants when the Sun, the fifth house, lord of the 5th and Jupiter are under malefic influence. The accumulation of wealth as mentioned in Chamatkara Chintamani will happen only when the Sun in the 5th is a functional benefic. This work also says that native will. die from a stomach ailment. The reasoning behind this statement is that the 5th house represents amongst other things the stomach also. The affliction of the 5th house by the Sun will cause stomach ailments.
