Astrology is a very old and ancient metascience of the world, used as a tool of divination to predict the future, to make forecasts and to know what fortune has in store for an individual or a race or a nation. Different branches of astrology were practiced in different countries, though the basic essence remained the same.

In ancient India, notably in the Indus valley civilization, there arose a branch of astrology known as Jyotish Vidya which underwent several modifications later on, during the Vedic age.

From then on, this Jyotish Vidya or Vedic astrology has become the formal representative of the Indian system of astrology. This branch of astrology is at least 5000 years old and is more definite, accurate, precise and meticulous and therefore more correct than the western branch of astrology, prevalent in Europe and America.

A Vedic Astrology Natal Chart basically is your birth chart – the oriental counterpart of the occidental branch. Vedic Astrology Natal Chart is also known as janma kundali or janam kundli. It is calculated and prepared on the basis of an individual’s date of birth, exact time of birth including the exact second of birth, the astrological positions of stars, planets and other celestial bodies during that individual’s moment of birth and so on.

A Vedic Astrology Natal Chart is very useful for getting a character sketch of a person, to know an individual’s psychological traits, to obtain an insight into his/her character/nature portrait and to predict that individual’s destiny or fortune. It reveals your sun sign that gives a general picture of your personality. It also reveals your rising sign or ascendant sign that is important for knowing your superficial personality makeup.

You will get to know your moon sign from your Vedic Astrology Natal Chart that will throw light on your emotional and intuitive nature and the innermost core of your character – the side that you normally hide from the world. You will also know which ‘gana’ you belong to – debgana or naragana or debarigana.

The birth chart, in this case, looks like a wagon wheel that has been divided into 12 parts or houses and several sub parts within them. These parts have these different symbols, stars and planets drawn in them. This diagram represents the different positions, sensitive angles and astrological aspects of the moon, sun, rahu, ketu and other heavenly bodies, required for making predictions.

In fact, an accurate Vedic Astrology Natal Chart can reveal almost all aspects of your character and through its help you can get to know your future regarding relationships, career, overseas job opportunity, success, prosperity, health, inheritance of fortune, accidents or untoward mishaps and everything else you want to know.

This is why Vedic Astrology Natal Charts are in high demand and Vedic astrology birth chart compatibility is widely calculated during Indian arranged marriages. In fact, the whole Hindu arranged marriage system prevalent in India would fall apart in the absence of the bride and groom’s Vedic Astrology Natal Chart or birth charts.

This the true picture of the country being projected as the emerging power and the group comprising Brazil,Russia,India and China called BRIC are endorsing it for a permanent member status in the UN security Council ???.They must be deluded to have done that !

India now has 100 million more people living below the poverty line than in 2004, according to official estimates released on Sunday.

The poverty rate has risen to 37.2 per cent of the population from 27.5 per cent in 2004, a change that will require the Congress-ruled government to spend more money on the poor.

The new estimate comes weeks after Sonia Gandhi, head of the Congress party, asked the government to revise a Food Security Bill to include more women, children and destitutes.

“The Planning Commission has accepted the report on poverty figures,” Abhijit Sen, a member of the Planning Commission said, referring to the new poverty estimate report submitted by a government panel last December.

India now has 410 million people living below the UN estimated poverty line of $1.25 a day, 100 million more than was estimated earlier, officials said.

India calculates how much of its population is living below the poverty line by checking whether families can afford one square meal a day that meets minimum nutrition needs.

A third of the world’s poor are believed to be in India, living on less than $2 per day, worse than in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, experts say.

The Indian government spends only 1 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on healthcare facilities, forcing millions to struggle to get medicines, Oxfam and 62 other agencies said in a report called: “Your Money or Your Life” last year.

While India’s economy is slowly recovering from a global recession with a GDP growth of 7.2 per cent, millions of poor in rural India are finding it difficult to cope with around 17 per cent food price inflation.

Can anyone give a plausible reason for the discontent giving rise to insurgencies like Khalistan ,Kashmir, Maoists/Naxalite and Assam etc ?.Especially in a country which is known to be one of the biggest Democracy, about to become one of the new emerging economy in the world having a high rate of GDP and many Dollar Billi…on rich tycoons to boast.

It is really beyond my comprehension as what make India with the above picture of its true internal conditions can ever be deemed as an emerging power.Only on the basis of its High GDP.If that be the case Bhutan, has thrice higher GDP rate.

We are not at all envious of their, growth, nor would prefer to compete with in the manner they are achieving it….

Our leaders don’t have breakfast with the US leadership in the morning and dessert with the Russians at night. Our business community competes with honesty and does not wish to thrive on scams. To quote an example substantiating the aforesaid I append two links below:…

1) India’s Friends: Dinner in the U.S., Dessert in Moscow http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1946236,00.html?iid=sphere-inline-sidebar#ixzz0Zgp7WmEh

2) Indian software/outsourcing company crashes after fraud exposed http://eideard.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/indian-softwareoutsourcing-company-crashes-after-fraud-exposed/

Moreover what good are such growth figures when the wealth is concentrated in a few hands, while the rest of the people are naked, homeless, under nourished, starving and dying of hunger and dreaded diseases?.

We are growing slowly but steadily with the resolve that Inshallah in due course of time we shall be far stronger and healthier, economically in all aspects, but with honor and dignity. We shall achieve this success due to our hard and honest work and not through conniving, fraudulent and boot licking methods. .

There is no denial that India’s economy is not better then that of Pakistan. Definitely it has increased manifold since the 1990.This is owing to the fact that Pakistan has suffered greatly due to setbacks brought upon it during the course of its history. Firstly it the eastern wing of the wing got separated in 1971.Secondly, being proxy for the US in the cold war fought to drive the Russians out of Afghanistan and then being left with the heavy burden of having to play host to the influx of millions of Afghan refugees till today. Last but not least the huge losses it is enduring since 9/11 for being the front line ally in the war against terror. Undoubtedly, the Indians have made great inroads in the software industry and their entertainment industry. Having said this you also must accept the fact that the economy maybe the best in the world yet if its benefits do not reach the masses and lays concentrated in few hands then it is like a treasure box buried somewhere with no map to locate it. Indians masses are poor, hungry and homeless, whereas their government maybe very rich or a couple of dozen families maybe having billions of dollars stashed away. No one can deny that US is the Nos.1 Super power, read the yesterdays news and you will be shocked to know that in spite of their world best economy their citizens are suffering from what I claimed India is:

I could provide more such links, but I feel they should suffice enough to let you feel the drift

Please let me assure you that I have no heartburn for India or the Indians. I personally believe that it is in the best interest of both the neighboring countries and the whole region, to co-exist in a peaceful and harmonious manner. I personally am a great believer of freedom and justice and human rights.
