But he was modesty and humility personified, a great worthy example fur many apstarts who now claim to belong to a parampara which never existed and cannot be proven historically. If he claimed to have got them from a tradition, the great Ujjain tradition of Varaharnihira, he had a justifiable claim. He alone knew the use of many Chakras given in books like Narapati Jaya and many more not given in this book. Yet, I learnt so much from his predictions in the famous Vishwa Vay Panchanga in Hindi with the use of various techniques and some Sanskrit shlokas and couplets in Hindi. Hardeoji told me clearly that he had no intention ever of writing books on other aspects of mundane astrology and he did not write any. I remember his prediction about the death of President j.F.Kennedy without his horoscope and the Was street collapse of October 1987 without any horoscope of New York Sock Exchange or the horoscope of USAI His techniques were amazing because he had the superb advantage of learning astrology in Ujjain which had been for centuries the greatest centre of predictive astrology being the place of the great Varahamihira.
Karpoor Chaicra, he told me often, showed in a pinpointed way the places and directions in which there would be good and bad event as planets moved from rashi to rashi. He would have explained the use of his vast techniques and even disclosed that secret Karpoor Chakra which someone stole from his house in Solan.
But he did not write a book on his other areas like astro-meteorology and political predictions about nations and their heads even in the absence of their horoscopes. The other person who would have produced the best and most brilliant book on mundane astrology was the late Hardeo Sharma Trivedi who wrote only one book in Hindi, Vyapar Ratna’, which is a brilliant book on commercial astrology, a part of mundane astrology in the modern world of consumerism. Raman who brought so much prestige to astrology through his successful mundane predictions in English unlike Hardeo Sharma who was much greater but remained unnoticed because he wrote in Hindi which is not the language of the elitist classes yet in lndia! He was a well informed man but not well read and did not know international law, finer constitutional points etc. Raman’s range of mundane predictions was extremely limited. He did not but he had to his credit many successful mundane predictions, mostly political. Raman, never known for any original research, would have produced a small lucid primer on mundane astrology if he had chosen to write one. Dr.Rarnan had the virtue of writing with clarity and lucidity unlike the cut and paste writers or those confused ones who have mangled so many branches of astrology recently.ĭr. I had asked Dr.B.V.Raman once whether he would ever write a book on mundane astrology. This book is a wish Fulfilment for me, a dream reallsed.
