A Strange Case of Infant Mortality
This is a nativity of an unfortunate child who could not surpass his third year of life and mysteriously died by drowning. Classical Jyotish treatises are filled with hundreds of thousands of balarishtha yogas and their cancellation. However, in modern practice balarishatha (i.e. affliction or death at childhood) is hardly focused, mainly on account of great abatement in infant mortality rate in last few decades. Yet, some children still die in their childhood by malnutrition, infection, illness or by accident.
Lagna 07 Sg 53'
Mentioned case belongs to a child who was born on Monday, September 7, 2009 at 2:20 PM in Karachi. He was the first progeny of his parents and very charming. He hailed from a lower-middle class family of Punjabi settlers. His father is a flower seller and mother is a household living in contented family. There is a canal-like open sewage drain running near the home of child. One fine evening of winter, two-and-half year old child came out of home with guests’ children and went near bank of deadly sewage canal. And within glimpse of eye the child slipped into running water of sewage. It was Saturday, January 7, 2012 around 4:45 PM. From Janma Nakshatra Revati, Mercury-Rahu antardasa was running at the time of death.
What makes this case strange is the missing of child’s dead body. Despite tireless efforts of rescue teams, child’s corpse could not find. Even after many weeks, no clue of child’s remain could trace out. This is indeed painful for the parents and family elders.
On the other hand, the sewage canal is generally known as haunted. There is a myth about the open sewage drain among inhabitants of that area. They say after cutting of an old Peepal tree at the bank, the naala (sewage canal) is turned into killer. Whenever any human drowns in it, his dead body disappears mysteriously. However, this is not the case with the dead bodies of drowned animals. The wavy sewage-canal is about 10 to 15 feet wide and flows like snake from north-east to south-west. It has no boundary or fence in the slum area. Within last few years the sewage-canal has swallowed 8 humans including said child.
Why child lost his life is self-evident from his natal horoscope. The birth chart may appear seemingly strong as it has some strong planets in kendra. But lagna, lagna lord and Sun are extremely afflicted, besides lagna in evil nakshatra Moola. The Sagittarius lagna is occupied by Gulika and Mandi. Moreover Sagittarius is the navamsa-rasi of maraka Saturn. However, the most afflicted condition is of lagna lord Jupiter, who is in neech rasi and associated with Rahu. Whereas Sun is relegated to neech navamsa Libra and Moon is in Capricorn navamsa. So luminaries are at their most undesirable navamsas. Another factor, I often notice is the yoga of Bhrigu Nadi that say closeness of Rahu and jeevakaraka Jupiter leads to early, sudden or mysterious death, provided there is no other ameliorating planet.
At the time of death, Mercury-Rahu antardasa was running. Mercury as 7th lord is maraka while Rahu being domicile in 2nd house is also maraka. Since death occurred during exalted dasanatha Mercury in 10th house therefore the news of mysterious death was covered by almost all national news channels in their headlines. There is another unique matter, child’s mother told me. The kid first touched the pencil and nursery rhyme book on the day of his death. In the fateful morning he started learning and in the very evening he died. This reminds the techniques of Lal Kitab that hints particular does and donts and upcoming events. Here dasanatha Mercury’s karakattavas appeared markedly but in fatal manner.
In Jyotish, 8th and 3rd houses are generally considered to judge to condition, state and place of death. Some authorities also focus dreskkaNa of 8th house, arudhapada of 3rd house (A3) and Swamsa (i.e. navamsa-rasi of atmakaraka). A commonly referred aphorism about death say: if 8th house be a watery sign and also occupied by watery planet, or if 8th lord be in watery sign then death will probably cause by drowning. Here in this chart of deceased kid, 8th house, occupant of 8th house, lord of 8th house, Moon, A3 and A8 fall in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces – all watery abodes.
What I could not figure out is the disappearance of dead body in filthy sewerage water. I did not find appropriate astrological combination explaining the missing corpse of native. If any Jyotish expert or researcher knows such yoga then please share.

Sir,
This is regarding Hora Nirnaya Sangraha of Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni a follower of Bhgavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Ganapati Muni is a great Sanskrit Scholar and Astrologer. I am happy to see his work. It was a great work on Parasara System done by Ganapati Muni when he was asked by Astrologers in Gokarna Kshetram. It is true Parasari. I am very much thankful to SA to bring this out.
with regards
suneel.

Sub: Article on Vastu by Brijesh Srivastava
Dear SA,
The articel is very educative & research one.
South facing main door was not rejected any where in classical texts or modern books. However, building a house in small plots is not much preferred because we have to leave more open place in south being facing and more than that we have keep in north side, so more place is wasted in open places. secondly, best place for kitchen is agneya, it will be at entrance, does not look good because of these 2 reasons planning a house in south plot is not so good so pandits don't prefer south. We can nicely plan a house in north, east and west facing plots.
Even today in west bengal south facing is considered very good. (because they get cold wind from north, they close north)
In andhra pradesh, in between visakhapatnam to orissa border, houses are built in north and south facing only.
In Rajahmndry to Vijayawada region houses are preferred east and west facings
In 1960's west facing was considered very good in Vijayawada area.
The present trend in A.P., East and North facing plots or main doors are very good, south least preferred but not rejected
South not good is only a prevailing belief.
thank you for sending a good article

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Shri Basilioli ji for his novel PAM CHART approach for calulation of longevity. I sought his help for analysing a particular case and he was more than helpful to me.
He used the PAM 1 , PAM 2 , PAM 3 , Dasha Bhukti Analysis ( KP ), SANJAY RATH rules and Pravin Jagad theory to match the results / analysis.
We are indeed privilaged to have such learned & HELPFUL member on this forum with a command on astrology.
Look forward to many more articles from him and other learned members in the forthcoming issues of Saptarishis Magazine.
Pranam ,

Sub: Comments By One of the Editors on Raising Editing Standards ref to a said article
A few editing comments…
...Do not know what some of his abbreviations are though such as “this typically affects the condition w r t “ etc…these should not be used. Abbreviations should only be used after they are defined in the document first. One should not assume others know what they mean. That is simply inconsiderate.
Also it is best to write out the names of small numbers 1-9 as in a quantity of ‘four’ versus ‘4’ charts…in good writing, it is usual to use numerals 1-9 ONLY in technical manuals in lists, in tables, and in any context where an abundance of numbers makes spelling them out awkward. Otherwise we write out the names of numbers. Again, small numbers, such as whole numbers smaller than ten, should be spelled out. That’s one rule you can count on. If we don’t spell numbers 1-9 out it will look like we are sending an instant message, and we want to be more formal than that in writing for a journal.
Another general rule (I do not know if this is done in this article) is Don’t start a sentence with a numeral. Make it “Fourscore and seven years ago,” not “4 score and 7 years ago.” That means you might have to rewrite some sentences: “Fans bought 400,000 copies the first day” instead of “400,000 copies were sold the first day.”
