Ishant proved Gavaskar's word true, as he bowled India to an 11 runs lead ! His pace and bounce accounted for 6 West Indian scalps and he removed Edwards and Rampaul off successive balls, to bowl out West Indies for 190. Earleir, India could only get one wicket before the pre lunch session, that of Chanderpaul, who was clean bowled by Mithun for 37. Then Sharma came back strongly into the game and finished with the great figures of 21.5 - 7 - 55 - 6 ! Ishant was born with Mercury and Moon exalted, in Vasumath Yoga, a yoga for prosperity. His Sun is powerful in the 4th. His Rahu is dominant on the Meridien, which endows him with professional skill. His Mars in the Eleventh makes him a very competitive individual. Samuels was unconquered with 78 not out. He tried to redeem the West Indies, but Ishant was too smart for that ! The Indian openers played solidly in a tricky period and India are 23/0 ! Mihtun scalped two wickets for 34 and Praveen Kumar and Bajji took one wicket each. Man...

Great bowling by Ishant Sharma reduced WI to 98/5, till rain came to their resue. Sharma removed Bishoo, who was alarmed by the pace and bounce of the lanky pacer. He trapped the dangerous Sarwan lbw in the same over. He got the rewards for the persistent line and length he maintained throughout the pre lunch session. Chanderpaul with 12 and Samuels with 15 are at the crease. The game is delicately poised, with honours even. The Indian swing bowlers are in form and anything can happen ! Ishant Sharma was born with Jupiter conjunct Moon, which makes him very intelligent ( Vikrantham kula mukhyamasthira mathim vitheswaram sangirah - he will be the leader of his tribe, genius and with wealth. May he deliver the goods for India !

India were bowled out for 201 by Rampaul and Co in the second Test At one stage Rampaul tore through the Indian top order and India were reeling at 44/4 ! WI were simply brilliant in the field, but faltered at the start, as the Indian new ball bowlers, Sharma, Kumar and Mithun took one wicket each to send them cart wheeling at 30/3 ! West Indies were 5/2, losing both openers Simmons and Barath, within the space of five overs. Sharma removed Barath at 3 and Simmons was scalped by Kumar at 5. Then Darren Bravo took on the role of Lara and took the score to 30, when Mithun struck, removing Bravo for 9 ! Night watchman Bishoo joined Sarwan, who is on ten not out. Edwards and Bishoo bowled superbly, restricting the mighty Indian batting to 201. A great 117 run partnership was shared by Laxman ( 85 ) and Raina ( 53 ) and this partnership redeemed India, who were tottering at 38/4, thanks to some great medium fast bowling by Rampaul. Laxman stood like the Rock of Gibraltar and ensured that I...

If a planet falls in creative stars or Shrishti taras, such a planet is said to be benefic. If a planet is placed in angular or trinal houses, he is said to be benefic. If planet is in uptide, he is benefic. If a planet is aspected by benefics, he is said to be a benefic. We have to see how many positive and negative points a planet gets, before embarking on prognostication.

Malefic satellites like Dhooma and Mrityu rising, the lords of 6,8 and 12, malefic planets, malefic aspects, tenancy of 6,8,12 houses, hind signs, functional malefics- all these are negative or Anishtaphalada planets. Dhoomadi Rimphari Mriteesa Papai Yogekshana Rimpha ripu sthitatvam Prushtodaya Adhomukha Papabhamsa Sarvatra Thoyakshayamithyanishta The periods of such planets are Anishta Phalada, meaning that they bring chaos in their periods of directional influence. Downtide is negative and uptide is positive. Malefic satellites like Kala, Ardhaprahara, Gulika, Mrityu and Dhooma rising are considered inauspicious. Aspects of malefics are also considered baneful. In Astrology Vedic each planet has a satellite of its own. For instance Phobos and Deimos of Mars are called as Dhooma & Mrityu in Indian science. The longitudes of satellites of Venus Moon Mars Rahu & Ketu are calculated based on the sidereal longitude of the Sun. PLANET SATELLITE METHOD OF...

The Indian bowlers struck back and WI could only muster 262, chasing 326 and India won by 63 runs. In the early hours of the morning, Praveen Kumar scalped both Darren Bravo and Chanderpaul and WI were in the doldrums at 149/5. They were in furthur trouble at 188/8, when Sammy and Nash were out. Sammy was caughtby Laxman off Mishra for 25 and Nash was trapped lbw by Mishra. Then last minute bravado by Rampaul ( 34), Bishoo ( 26) Fidel Edwards ( 15 ) could not save Windies ! Dhoni lauded Praveen's swing bowling as a debutant. Praveen took 3/42 and Ishant 3/81, while Mishra took two, Bajji one ane Raina one. India lead the series 1-0. Dravid was declared Man of the Match. When asked by reporters about bringing back Chris Gayle, Sammy retorted ' Why not bring back Viv Richards and Gary Sobers" Dhoni kept his winning spree and is one of the best Indian captains ever. Rahul Dravid proved that he is still one of the best batsmen in the world with his superb century. If not for h...

Dravid scored his 32nd century to redeem his country. Just imagine. Amit Mishra with 28 was the next top scorer ! Showed to what abysmal depths Indian batting had sunk. Mishra with 28 provided the much needed support to Dravid. Then Darren Sammy struck twice to make India reel at 183/8. Sammy's incutter trapped Bajij lbw and then the WI captain clean bowled Praveen Kumar. Dravid was the last man to get out, when he tried to hit Bishoo for six. Bishoo and Sammy took four wickets each and Edwards and Rampaul got one wicket each. India went into lunch at 166/6, having lost Raina for 26 and Dhoni for 16. Both were removed by Bishoo, who bowled superbly even with a sore knee. Raina and Dravid were involved in a 48 run stand, after the early loss of Virat Kohli. India received an early jolt when Kohli was caught behind off Edwards for 15. The ball, going down the leg side, kissed Kohli's bat and set into the hands of Baugh. Raina tried to sweep Bishoo and perished. Dhoni hit Bishoo f...

A planet is said to be very strong when exalted. But mere exaltation is not enough.If a planet is exalted and has directional strength ( Dig Bala ), then it is said to be Sampoorna If a planet is exalted without any other strengths, it is said to be Poorna.

Great bowling by Ishant ( 3/29 ), P Kumar ( 3/38), Bajji ( 2/51) and Mishra (2/51) reduced the West Indies to 173, giving India a lead of 73 runs ! Gavaskar was right when he opined that Ishant has come back into form and will spearhead the Indian attack in the years to come. Temporarily he was off form, trying to bowl fast, with the result he lost his swing. Now his swing is going, he can swing the ball both ways and can bowl at 150 kph, as West Indies found to their discomfiture ! Look at his figures yesterday. 17-6-29-3 ! What a great spell of bowling and WI all out for 173 ! India are 91/3, with Dravid unconquered with 45 not out. The Indian lead at the moment in 164 and since this is a low scoring match, it seems to be Advantage India ! But one can never say, as an Indian collapse can bring the West Indies back into the game. WI made inroads into the Indian batting, as they captured three wickets, but Dravid, known as Mr Wall, stood his ground and saved the innings. Ravi Rampaul t...

India were 69/4 at lunch, losing openers debutant Mukund and M Vijay. The Indian batting was slipshod and unconvincing. But then Raina with 82 not out and Bajii(70) redeemd India with some powerful stroke play. Raina, who had lost his form in the ODI series due to the pressures of captaincy, was back again in form, smashing 82 not out. Bajji rose to the occasion and provided the help which Raina was seeking. For WI, Ravi Rampaul and Bishoo took three wickets, Fidel Edwards four to send India crashing to 246 all out. Ishant Sharma provided the much needed breakthough for India, removing Lendl Simmons. Wi are 34/1, in reply to the Indian score of 246. Simmons edged a Sharma delivery onto his pads and the ball lobbied up to be taken by M Vijay. The first day's honours went to the Carribeans, as they shot out India for a paltry 246. The century partnershp between Bajji and Raina revived India from 85/6 to 246 all out. India lost their last four wickets for 27 runs after tea to be al...

The Mosaic Law of Western Thought is known as Shukra Neethi ( Venusian Law ) in Indian Philosophy. The Jesusian Law corresponds to Brihaspathi Neethi , that is rising to a higher plane which returns good for evil ! Even though it is taught that lying is Sin and should be avoided, Shukra Neethi or the Venusian Law states that one can lie for virtue ! Kaliyil prana rakshakkum Go brahmana hithathinum Kanya Vitha rakshakkum Poli Nindithamalledo ! In business, one cannot be trufhful all the time. There is a saying, Truth is ruinous, hence suppressio veriti, suggestio falsi ! In order to make profits, the biz man is given the licence to lie !

That Indian batsmen still buckle under short pitched stuff was proved again as Russell and Roach put them under a baptism of fire ! Y Pathan, Badrinath and Raina still found it difficult to negotiate with short pitched deliveries. Except for the young Kohli and Sharma, none of the other batsmen could get on top of the WI pacers in the last two ODIs. After Roach and Russell had struck, Pollard and Sammy took advantage of the Indian batsmen ! Of course, WI will have to face professionals like Dravid, Sehwag and Dhoni in Test matches, but it is clear that their bowlers will resort to the short pitched stuff. Dhawan and Patel also found it difficult to face fast short pitched balls. The WIes had already exposed the chinks in the Indian armour ! Even though India had won both ODI and T20 series, certain weaknesses were exposed. It is good that these weaknesses are known and it is time the Indian batsmen rectified these errors before taking the Carribeans in their den in Tests ! India scored...

The word Njattuvela is derived from Njayar meaning the Sun and Velas meaning the Times.

India were crushed by WI yesterday. Andre Russel and Martin bowled out India for 146. India were beaten by 103 runs. West Indies were helped by a whirlwind 70 by Keiron Pollard, who at last, came back to form. He blasted 70 off 72 balls, in a great display of batting. The Indian batsmen have only themselves to blame, as their shot selection was ridiculous and inexplicable. 249 is a competitive score and WI were happy that they could put up such a score, after being 103/5. Pollard was helped by Baugh, the wicket keeper, who scored 39. Andre Russel scored 25 and WI were 249/8 at the end of 50 overs. Leg spinner Antony Martin swung the game for the West Indies, picking up four wickets. Andre Russel got three and they bowled India out for a paltry 146. Sammy picked up two wickets. Tiwary was all at sea when the Indian innings began. He scratched around for 17 balls and was dropped by Bravo off Roach in the slips. He couldnt play bouncers and was out to Sammy for 2. Sammy removed Patel also...

Rohit's brilliant 86 not out pulled India to victory and Amit Mishra and Munaf Patel took three wickets each to complete a brownwash ! India chased 226 to win, but were reduced to 92/6 by some great bowling by the West Indies. The hour findeth the man and in walked Rohti Sharma, who single handedly took India to a winning position. He was partnered by Bajji and they added 88 for the seventh wicket. Then another partner in the form of Praveen Kumar, who scored 25 not out, supported him and India won the match and the series. Darren Sammy had Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli in his first over and Simmons pulled off a magnificent catch to send back the dangerous Yousuf Pathan. It seemed the West Indies were on their way to take revenge, but they were stalled by the determination and the will power of Bajji and Rohit. Bajji scored 41 off 64 balls which included a four and a six, but then he edged one to Baugh. But then Praveen Kumar held fort, smashing 25 off only 1...

Jup Sun Ven Mar Ket Mer RASI MooRah Sat When the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are in alignment, then it is called a Lunar Eclipse.

If fiery planets tenant the House of Marriage, separation is indicated.If they are conjoined by benefics, then Remarriage Yoga is caused.

Pape Kalatra bhavane tu kalatra nasa A malefic in the Seventh, in the House of Marriage, destroys the House of Marriage ! By fiery planets are meant Sun, Ketu and Mars. But there are some scholars who opine that fiery planets mean malefics. They can include Rahu and Saturn. Yesterday I analysed a horoscope, a Remarriage Yoga one. The Nodal Axis afflict the 1/7 Houses, and there are benefics in the Seventh House ( mishrai punarbhoor bhaveth ). Divorce had happened and the native is thinking of another marriage ! If the Seventh is afflicted by malefics, but however aspected by benefic planets, the husband will not die, but will move to another woman !

Sent in by Raina to bat, the West Indies put up a better performance and scored 240. But it was not enough as rain curtailed play and India needed only 183 off 37 overs, which they did effortlessly ! This time the West Indian openers Simmons and Edwards got them off to a good start. Mishra struck the first blow when he had Edwards caught behind. Superb bowling by Munaf and Mishra restricted the West Indies to 240. Spurred by the wicket of Edwards, Mishra bowled with considerable guile, extracting vicious turn from the track and troubling all batsmen. Lendl Simmons continued to impress and along with Sarwan put on 67 runs for the second wicket and both batsmen kept the scoreboard moving with delectable shots and quick running between the wickets. Simmons completed his fifty in 75 balls beofre he jumped to Yousuf Pathan and was stumped. Sarwan was in sublime form and he saw to that West Indies posted a respectable score. Samuels played a brief cameo but was out to Pathan. He hit Pathan f...

A glorious innings of 68 not out by Rohit Sharma saw India home . WI could only score 214 and Indian won by four wickets. Off 75 balls, Rohit smashed 68 to pull India to victory. He was aided by the Indian skipper Suresh Raina (43 ) and India laboured to victory.Earlier Sarwan and Samuels scored fifties but the rest of the West Indian batsmen failed to capitalise. The Indian bowlers bowled superbly to restrict the Carribeans to 214 in their allotted fifty overs.Praveen Kumar, Raina and Munaf Patel took two wickets each and Bajji took three wickets to stifle the Carribeans. Sharma smashed a six and three fours and put on 80 runs for the fifth wicket with skipper Raina and India lead the series now 1-0. Shikhar Dhawan scored his maiden 50, 51 off 76 balls. It was a solid innings and held the Indian innings together till Rohit Sharma took over. The other opener Parthiv was run out unnecessarily and Kohli threw his wicket away, slashing at a wide ball off Rampaul. Badrinath tried to sq...

Buddha and Sankara of course were two of the greatest philosophers to have graced this planet. Another equally great, Bhagavan Aurobindo, said so "Buddha and Sankara thought the world to be miserable, hence escape from it to them was the only Wisdom ( Escapism ? ). But then the world is Being, the world is Self, the world is Truth, the world is Ananda, prajna prasrutha purani, Omnipotent Wisdom created this world ! It is not the organised blunder of some Infinite Dreamer ! It is only our perception of the world though the mentalised ego which is the suffering. The world is nothing but Anantamaya Krishna, the Lord playing in the world as Sat Chit Ananda ". Sankara was an illusionist. Buddha was a Nihilist ( Shoonyavadi ). Their arguments only prove their world class calibre. One doctrine is not against another. That is why we said all perspectives - atheism, agnosticism, Nilhilism, Absolutism, ( Poornavada ) - are all contained in Indian Philosophy, which displays the greatnes...
