Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 The following article appeared in the Indian National Express a national daily and was originally posted by K.N.Rao .Neither he or myself will vouch for the accuracy of the contents. Your Servant Yadu Srestha 1999 Nostradamus on BJP, Sonia and ... Francois Gautier Michel De Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus (1503-1566), was a famous French astrologer whose predictions - which included the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the premature death of the previous Pope - have proved infallibly accurate. Last month, unpublished manuscripts of Nostradamus have been discovered (and authenticated) in an old trunk in the French city of Lyon. Curiously, there are two full pages which deal at length with India, particularly with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the just concluded elections. I am giving here the first words in Latin, the language which he used, along with a rough translation in English. “Politicus Bharatus Janatus Indicus veni grandus est vingtus unus centurus - Congressus oublium est” The Bharatiya Janata Party will come to dominate India in the 21st century as the Congress will slowly sink into oblivion. “Malheureusus, duo annum millenium trahisonus idealum est Congressus ressemblum, fautum adoptus est. Electionirium Blanca Madamusattaquum...” Unfortunately, to achieve power, the BJP may gradually forsake most of its idealism. In the 1999 elections for instance, (Nostradamus made here a prediction error : he said duum millenium - 2000), instead of concentrating on real issues - water, sanitation, education - it will waste all its energies on attacking the White Lady (Sonia Gandhi, we suppose). But more than these basic issues, which any sincere politician should have at heart, it will not address the real burning changes which India needs to adopt so as to become again a great power. And Nostradamus goes on to enumerate these changes: “Congressus independantum Blancum copium est; necessarus changum indianus cumum facus est” As the Congress had heavily borrowed from the White Man (British) at Independence, it will become necessary to “Indianise” the nation so that it may manifest again its true unique soul. “Panchayatum villagum empruntus. Sanskritus introdum est. Historicum ecritum manus, daemonus est.Yogum, respirationnus introdum est” Give back the power to the villages in the form of Panchayat. Reintroduce Sanskrit as the national language. Rewrite Indian History, which had mostly been devised by White Masters. Revive ancient traditional systems such as pranayama, yoga, and incorporate them in the education system and everyday life. Change the Constitution so that democracy may not be perverted as it will be. Privatise the over-staffed iron bird (Indian Airlines), which will have the most expensive fares in the world. “Malheureusus, secularus montrarus Congressus devenium est, corptionus introdus cancerus est...” Unhappily again, Nostradamus goes on, the BJP in its eagerness to prove itself secular (secularus is originally a Latin word), will tend to become like the Congress: corruption, bureaucracy, the VIP plague, the madness of subsidies and the hunger for power may eat its inner core as a cancer. “Americanus octopussus contentus summum est; jaunus manus menacus ignorumest, Gaullus manum oublius est. Aurbindus Ghosus Propehetus ignorum est” It will try to please the American octopus at the cost of India’s integrity, will ignore the great danger of the Yellow Hand (China), will forget that a reunion with Pakistan is utmost importance for the stability of the subcontinent, will shun the friendship of the Gauls (France) and will also disregard the words of its Great Prophet, Aurobindo Ghose. And this is Nostradamus’ scoop - if we may say so: “Politicus Bharatus Janatus interminum dividus duum et novus politicus formus” After some time, the Bharatiya Janata Party may split into two. Sincere idealists will form a parallel party which will have as its political platform many of the ideals which the BJP had forsaken. “Indianus pretus reformus est, Grandus nationus manum” India by that time will be ready for the Big Change and the new party will sweep the polls and implement these reforms. “Sanskritus savantuus nationalum languus, decentralisumgovernmentus, aryanus theorum mortuum est, dharmum hinduus devenum. Christianum, Islamus influencum” Scholars will sit down to modernise and simplify Sanskrit; government will be decentralised; India will strive to form of a federation of SAARC countries; the theory of the Aryan invasion will be proved false and it will be shown that Indian civilisation is at least ten thousand years old and has influenced all great ancient civilisations and religions such as Christianity and even Islam. And finally : “Aurobindus Ghosus realisum est, Indianum Agus ancientus mortum non est”... And the prophecy of Sri Aurobindo will be fulfilled : “India of the ages is not dead nor has She spoken Her last creative word. And that which She must seek now to awake, is not an anglicised oriental people, docile pupil of the West and doomed to repeat the cycle of the Occident’s success and failure, but still the ancient immemorial Shakti recovering Her deepest self, lifting Her head higher towards the supreme sourceof light and strength and turning to discover the complete meaning and vaster form of Her Dharma”. 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd. ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------- To email: majordomo (AT) world (DOT) std.com In the message put: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
