Ranil Willfully Misled the
Public on Government Change and his Yoga
Dilrook Kannangara
It is history how he mislead the public when he signed the surrender
agreement better known as the CFA. It took hours for some and days
or years for the others to understand the true intentions of the signatories.
Now we know that surrender does not tantamount to peace as peace comes
essentially with law and order.
Had peace ruled this island during 2002 - 2004, UNESCO peace prize
would have been awarded to the Batalanda killer and the Arantalawa
killer jointly! Instead it went to the fiercest critic of the surrender
agreement - Ananda Sangaree. Not only the elite armed forces personnel,
Tamil democratic leaders and law and order were surrendered to the
terrorists, but also the nation’s monopoly over its land, sky
and water was also compromised.
Ranil did it again when he declared that he has a powerful raja yoga
that would bring him back to power during April-May 2007. We didn’t
need astrology to dispel his desperate claims to throne. However,
the fact that he cannot be the national leader during this time is
better known to him. Therefore, it is another case of attempting to
mislead the public.
According to Ranil’s horoscope, he doesn’t have any planet
exalted or in its own house, necessary for a great horoscope, thereby
reducing any chance of the subject attaining greatness. However, Rahu
and Ketu are in the same rasi and navamsa respectively giving them
the status of power. Apart from these two, the subject has attained
a very weak form of gaja-kesari yoga which may bring about prosperity,
power, etc. However, the fact that both Moon and Jupiter (the curators
of this yoga) are in detrimental rasis ensures that its good effects
are reversed. Saturn is also in a rasi detrimental to him and to make
things worse, Saturn is in retrograde! Misfortunes of this horoscope
continues as Mars is combusted by a strong Sun; another very bad disposition,
especially in relation to governance.
But the best piece of astrological evidence is the Dasa that presides
over Ranil at the moment. However, before considering that we should
mull over Dasas (periods) presided over when he attained higher status.
As mentioned above, Rahu is powerful in his chart; it was during Rahu
period that he climbed the political ladder! He was elected at a very
young age and went on to become a Minister and ended up as the PM
later during the Jupiter Dasa. Although his party lost in 1994, 2001
marked a comeback. Things turned bad again in late 2003 when the Saturn
Dasa started. It will last for 17 years until 2019. As noted above,
Saturn is in a detrimental sign in his chart and hence, can never
bring about anything productive or good as a whole in his endeavors
to rule the country. This is generally the worst dasa in most cases.
As with raja yoga; there are many instances that give rise to a raja
yoga; chances are that almost anybody and everybody can have some
form of raja yoga. Although Ranil’s chart does not indicate the
presence of a powerful raja yoga, he may have a weak one (most people
do have weak forms). However, for raja yoga to be real, other points
of power should be present in one’s horoscope.
No right thinking astrologer could ever have told Ranil that he can
ascend to throne during this time and chances are that Ranil would
have been told of the presiding Saturn dasa (period). In this context,
deliberately misleading the public to believe that he has some strong
chance of toppling the government and grabbing power is a moral offence.
But who said he has any morals? He is the weak version of Parabakaran
who would do anything to grab and retain power.
As many members of the public, I do not believe in astrology although
I have learnt it. However, we should appreciate that still a large
section of public do believe in astral beings and their power over
their lives and their country. Ranil exploited this by willfully and
maliciously misleading a section of the public. This is not the first
time the real ‘pacha malla’ (a name he used against another)
deceived the public as we all know. If he still claims himself to
be Mr. Clean, well, he is not, to say the least. It is a shame that
moral incompetence of politicians is forgotten too soon.
His pillar to success was Janaka replacing Gotabaya which is not forthcoming
anytime soon; this is another act of deception in his manifold collection
of tricks.
The end April attack by the LTTE on facilities belonging to foreign
companies was a desperate attempt to scare-off the investors and to
enhance Ranil’s chances of grabbing power in a weak economy.
This is too similar to yet another episode of Dr DoLittle! By making
the people suffer, Ranil cannot bully them to give in to his aspirations.
By the way after he attains 70 (that is after 2019) he has a better
chance than during 2003-2019 to come to power; but who believes him;
after all it’s the same old Ranil; he actually has henahuru (Saturn)
yoga and not raja yoga; this is no doubt a sure paraja yoga for him
and his henchmen.
