Makar Rashi and the background of  Ayodhya Ram Mandi dispute

The Ram  Janmabhoomi  or Ayodhya dispute is a long pending socio-religious, legal and political matter in India. The issue revolves around the claim of Hindus to a plot of land in Ayodhya , that is traditionally consider as a birthplace of lord Ram , which at present is disputed due to the location of the  ruins of demolished Babri Mosque at the site. In 1528 AD , the Babri Mosque was constructed by Mir Baqi, then governor of the  Awadh region,  at the order of Babur himself allegedly after destroying a pre-existing temple of lord Ram at the site. This Mosque came to known as Masjid-e-Janamasthan (Mosque at the birthplace) and later as Babri Masjid (Babur’s Mosque). Interestingly during the year 1528 AD the Jupiter was transiting from Cancer giving aspect to the Capricorn i.e. Makar the sign which signifies the India as per great astrologer Varahamihira. The transiting Saturn was in Aries then influencing the Capricorn from its 10^th aspect.

In Ayodhya dispute the first recorded issue of violence between the Hindus and Muslims over the matter of Ram Janmabhoomi in modern times took place in 1853 when a Hindu sect called Nirmohis claim the structure for building a Ram temple there. After the numerous incidents of violent clashes between the two communities during 1853-55 the British government, ruling India then, put up an outer enclosure in front of the Masjid in 1859 and thus forbidden the access of Hindus to the inner yard. Thereafter, the Hindus could only make the offerings (Prayers) on the Ram Chabootra that they have raised outside the Babri Masjid earlier. During the year 1853, the transiting Saturn was in Aries influencing the Makar (Capricorn) the zodiacal sign of India. Jupiter came to the sign Capricorn in year 1854 only.

In the independent India, the Ayodhya dispute ignited for the first time when on the night of 22 December 1949 some Hindu nationalist broke into the Babri Masjid and placed idols of Ram inside. People led to believe that the idols of Ram have appeared ‘miraculously’. Then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru insisted that the idols of Ram should be removed. However, the local administration refused to carry out orders citing the concern of a possible communal riot between Hindus and Muslims. The police locked the gate of Babri Masjid but the idols of Ram remain inside and only Hindu priests were allow to entry for daily worship. Since then the Babri Masjid became a de facto temple and both parties (Hindus and Muslims) filed civil suits staking their respective claim at the cite. At the time of this important event the Jupiter was transiting from Capricorn the 9^th house of Indian Independence chart given here. In Vimshottari the Saturn-Mercury period was in operation then. Saturn is the lord of 9^th house in the Indian Independence chart. Mercury is place in the 9^th house in the Navamsha.

On 1^st February 1986 a Session Judge of Faizabad court ordered to open the locks of Babri Masjid allowing Hindus  to worship at the site. This ignited the Muslims and they formed the Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC) in protest. At the time of this event, the Saturn was transiting in Scorpio giving aspect to the 9^th house Capricorn in the horoscope of India. Transiting Jupiter had just moved to the Aquarius sign leaving the 9^th house Capricorn few days back.  It was maha dasha of Ketu (September 1982 to September 1989)  at that time in the horoscope of India. Ketu, signifying religious and spiritual matters, is in the 7^th house of war like situation. India was struggling from Sikh insurgency in Punjab then and also from the cross border terrorism in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

On 6^th of December 1992, thousands of Karsevaks (volunteers) gathered in the city of Ayodhya , at the behest of saffron organization RSS and VHP, and demolished the Babri Masjid. This sparked the nation-wide communal riots between Hindus and Muslim at many places. The transiting Jupiter was in Virgo sign influencing the 9^th house Capricorn, from its 5^th aspect, and the Saturn was transiting from Capricorn itself. The communal riots thereafter broken out in many parts of the country led to the deaths of more than 2000 peoples in the next few months. The demolition of Babri Masjid had strong international reactions as many countries criticized government of India for its failure to stop the demolition and subsequent inter-community riots. In Pakistan and Bangladesh, scores of Hindu temples destroyed and properties of Hindu’s put to fire by mobs of Muslims in retaliatory attacks.
