Mahatma Gandhi
From out of the ordinary clay of the Indian earth, Mahatma
Gandhi moulded leaders after leaders who led our freedom struggle
for four decades. World history has no parallel to show such
a leader of leaders whose immortality in history is assured
inspite of whatever controversy may surround his reputation.
In no other horoscope of any Indian leader since can we see
such an excellent Gajakesari Yoga (Jupiter on an
angle from the Moon), so powerful, so well-placed as to generate
a great national patriotic fervour with the ideal of non-violence
and an indomitable power of truth. This is what Gajakesari
yoga does.
Features of Gandhi's Gajakesari Yoga
1) The Moon is with Rahu in a kemadruma yoga (no
planets on either side of the Moon) but as the 10th lord in
the 10th house, without any malefic aspect. This aroused in
him the spirit to serve the poor and down-trodden. He lived
in a Harijan (untouchable caste) basti wherever
he went and even named the weekly he edited, the Harijan.
2) From the Moon, four planets are in kendras (angles),
one of them is Jupiter in the 10th house forming the Gajakesari
Yoga. This gives him a spiritual aura also.
3) The aspects of two benefics, Mercury and Venus, though
the enemies of Jupiter, and Mars, the planet of violence clearly
shows his inspiration to do work which will endear him to
many, but provoke attempts on his life.
4) He got the dasha of Jupiter from January 1940 and was the
nationally acclaimed leader with international admiration.
What the Kemadruma Moon had not given him, Rahu in the 10th
house and Jupiter in the 7th gave him. In Jupiter-Saturn-Mercury
he launched his famous 'Quit India Movement' on 9 August,
1942 which together with the heroic deeds of Subhas Chandra
Bose outside India and the naval revolt of 1946, won India
her freedom.
5) The extraordinariness of this Gajakesari yoga is that it
is occuring both from the lagna and the Moon and here Jupiter
is in a kendra from four planets.
