I heard the impish laugh of Karna Pisachi in my left ear, as soon as I sat down to write this post.
'How come you are not seen nowadays, like before? - I demanded somewhat angrily.
'You have suddenly become a very good boy nowadays and not trying your hand at controversial topics like before' - She countered with the tenacity of a true devil.
'You know, I was busy in shifting to Hyderabad and could not find time to write the posts. Leave it. May I ask you the reason for your devilish laugh?' I asked her.
'I laughed thinking about the possible reaction of your loving critics when they read this post' - It said with its characteristic mischievous smile.
'What do you think my critics will say about this post? I asked her.
'Your critics? They will shout that you will always analyse everything post-facto, but never before an incident happens.'
'Let them think as they like. Who am I to regulate their thoughts? Moreover, when our country embarks upon something big like landing on the Moon, why should I say that it would fail in the end? And who will care, even if I say so? That is the reason why I kept quiet'. I replied her.
'So, you know this beforehand?' - She glanced at me curiously.
'Yes I know. You know what, last night the whole of India was awake glued to the TV sets, except me. I slept happily and got up leisurely and never bothered to know, because I already knew. It is so simple. Let me explain it to you.' I said.
'Ok Go ahead. I am listening' - It said, sitting beside me on the bed and peeping into my laptop.
I started to explain.
Chandrayaan - 2 was launched on 22-7-2019 at 14.43 hours from Srihatikota in South India. You can see the chart cast for that time and the position of planets therein.
Scorpio was rising at that time with retro Jupiter indicating that the event has no blessings from Jupiter. Now, we all know that Jupiter being the preceptor of gods must bless any important event for its smooth finish. However, Jupiter is a benefic for this Lagna and hence the launch happened without facing any hurdle. It is better to remember that the first launch was aborted due to a technical snag and it became a success on second attempt. That is what retro Jupiter indicates sitting in the Lagna.
It is desirable to have a movable Ascendant when we start on a long journey. However, Scorpio being a static Ascendant is not at all good, and I don't know who selected this time for the launch. Most of the mediocre astrologers and priests commit such mistakes which cost the mission very dearly. People say that Sun in 11th and Jupiter in Ascendant nullifies all the blemishes of a chart, which is far from truth. It never happens in reality !

We all know that the Ninth house rules over long journeys. Now, we have three planets in the 9th viz., Sun, Mercury and debilitated Mars. Among them, Mercury, being the lord of communications, is deeply combust indicating communication failure in the last minute. Mars is Ascendant Lord in debility in 9th house showing that the work undertaken will fail in last minute. And Sun is 10th Lord with 8th Lord Mercury showing failure of the mission.
At the time of launch, it was Saturn- Saturn- Rahu- Sun-Mercury Dasa which was running. We all know that Saturn Rahu combination is not at all good as it is called a cursed Yoga. Sun and Mercury who are the Lords of 4th and 5th levels of the Dasa, were in 8th house, showing that the mission will fail.
Yesterday night, at the time when they tried to land on the Moon, it was Saturn- Saturn- Jupiter- Jupiter - Rahu. No time could be worse than this, because Saturn-Jupiter-Rahu combination joins in it, two most dreaded Yogas viz., the Shapitha Yoga and Guru Chandala Yoga, indicating sure failure.

One need not be a great expert in Astrology to understand all this. What I am explaining is basic Astrology. Anyone with a moderate knowledge in Astrology can understand this logic easily. I don't understand which Pundit had set this Muhurta for the rocket launch.
Never have any doubt that 'Do they fix a Muhurta for Space missions also?' Such things are not rare in our country, though we will never know who did all that. Somebody even told me that they bring some parts of the rocket secretly to Tirumala and touch them to the feet of Lord Balaji's idol to receive divine blessings for the mission. I don't know how far this information is true, but I cannot doubt it either, going by the strange things that happen in our country unnoticed.
Sometime after the launch on 22nd of July, there was a rumor in the Internet circles that ISRO took the help of Shankaracharya of Dwaraka in their mission. It said that the Shankaracharya, being an expert in Vedic mathematics, helped ISRO in deducing the correct distance between the Earth and the Moon. I could not help laughing when I first heard this news. With the help of science we know the exact distance between the Earth and Moon. There is no need at all to consult Shankaracharya to know this data from the scriptures.
Last but not the least, we should have done the job silently, without attracting international attention. Our achievement should speak about our ability, not our web sites and channels, that too, before we reach the destination ! It is better to do the work silently and achieve silently, rather than bragging about what we are going to do and fail ultimately.
Prime Minister Modi Ji, with a big heart, consoled the crying ISRO Chairman. This scene made the whole nation to cry, in support of them. Our PM, who is the best of all PMs India ever had till now, stood behind the scientists of ISRO and boosted their sinking morale. He urged them to do better next time.
In space missions, failures are the stepping stones to success. Let us hope ISRO will surely fare better next time. Let me say, along with our PM, - 'This is no mean achievement. Have courage and try again. Don't get disheartened. We are all behind you'.
Let us all unite and pray and work hard to make India rise again and attain its rightful place among world's great nations!
