Pranam, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam, Pranam.
Interviewer:
Gurudev, your favorite disciple Santanu Roy has been practicing astrology and spiritual worship for a long time. Today, I would like to ask him a few questions. Since he researches and practices astrology, I have a question for Santanu. What is going to happen in the coming days? For instance, you said this year is the "Year of Ketu." Every year is influenced by a particular planet. Which planet is coming next? How will this year go, and what lies ahead? Could you explain this for us and the viewers?
Santanu Roy:
Greetings, I am Santanu Roy. 2023 is the Year of Ketu. During Ketu's year, we must face the consequences of our actions from past lives. Ketu represents the past in astrology, while Rahu represents the future. Our future experiences are shaped by our past deeds. Rahu's energy is driven by Ketu; without Ketu's energy, Rahu cannot function.
Santanu Roy:
This year has been quite unexpected. We didn't anticipate it would go this way. While we've seen disasters like floods in the north, there aren't many more dangerous situations left for the remainder of this year. However, 2024 marks the beginning of the Year of Saturn (Shani), followed by the Year of Mars (Mangal) in 2025. From Saturn's year through Mars' year, we may witness terrible accidents, disasters, and destruction.
Santanu Roy:
The planetary positions are not favorable. When Saturn enters Meen Rashi (Pisces)—currently, it's in Shatabhisha Nakshatra in Kumbha Rashi (Aquarius)—it will eventually connect with Purva Bhadrapada. At that time, the reckoning for our past misdeeds will begin. When Saturn enters its own constellation, it will become extremely powerful and start delivering judgment. 2025, specifically when Saturn connects with Revati Nakshatra and moves toward Mesh Rashi (Aries), will mark the start of a new era. The old era will end.
Santanu Roy:
Meanwhile, Rahu is currently in Mesh Rashi with Jupiter. When Rahu enters Meen Rashi and connects with Revati Nakshatra, there will be a sudden conjunction with Saturn. This conjunction will lead to terrifying disasters—disasters so severe that people won't believe them until they see them.
Interviewer:
Do you mean pandemics, famines, or wars?
Santanu Roy:
Everything. It will bring everything. As Gurudev has already told your viewers, at this moment, simply chant Harinaam (the name of God). There is no other way. Only Vasudeva Jagannath can protect us now.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Exactly. The nine planets are afraid of Vasudeva Jagannath and follow His will. Saturn works with Narayana as a witness to every action. Therefore, perform good deeds. Even if negative thoughts arise, set them aside and chant your Guru Mantra or Harinaam. In this Kali Yuga, there is no other path. The 16 words and 32 names (the Maha-mantra) are your only refuge.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
This is written in the Gita and the Shiva Purana. Lord Shiva Himself said that in Kali Yuga, there is no way other than Harinaam. He advised two things: perform Adya Puja (worship of the primordial power/Mother Durga) and chant Harinaam. Apart from these, other rituals may not be accepted by the deities in this age. This was said by Mahadev Himself.
Santanu Roy:
One more thing: if you perform bad deeds and then chant Harinaam, you won't get the results. You must move from the bad toward the good. You will face the consequences of your previous bad actions, but you must rectify yourself now. If you don't, the age (Kali) will punish you. Destruction has already begun. Recently, 17 people died in a bridge collapse in Maharashtra, and another 17 died in a boat accident. It won't take long for these numbers to escalate.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
It is said that deaths will double during this time. As the year progresses toward its end, we will see more shocking events. "Blood rain" has already started in Kerala. This is the prophecy of Vasudeva Jagannath. After the "blood rain" comes "mud rain," which signifies intense conflict between brothers—brother will kill brother.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
When the sky in the west of the Puri Jagannath temple turns deep red, know that "blood rain" is happening somewhere, followed by "mud rain." This will bring various germs and diseases from the sky. These are the prophecies from the Bhavishya Malika, written by Achyutananda Das under the direction of Lord Jagannath.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
You must remain alert. The coming days, especially 2025, will be terrifying. Saturn is currently very powerful in its Mool Trikona in Aquarius.
Santanu Roy:
In the Mahabharata, Krishna told Arjuna that while Karna's aim was true, his path (cause) was wrong. Because the Pandavas were on the path of Dharma, they were protected. Always remember this: improve your actions and rectify yourself. The Guru sees all your births and will come to save you even after death. If the Guru is displeased, no God can save you; but if God is displeased, the Guru can save you.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Seek the Guru's grace. Avoid hatred and jealousy. As time goes on, these will only increase. Treat people with respect and humanity.
Interviewer:
Gurudev, do you have any specific questions for Santanu?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I don't necessarily "believe" in common astrology, and neither does he. He calls it "astronomy" or scientific prediction.
Santanu Roy:
People are being misled by astrologers. Everywhere you go, they talk about Sadesati, Mangalik, or Kal Sarpa. These terms don't exist in the Vedas or authentic astrological texts. They are used purely for business to scam people.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Exactly. People suffer the results of their own Karma. Astrologers claim they can "cut" or remove these influences for a fee, like 30,000 rupees. It's a scam.
Santanu Roy:
If you have a kidney stone and a doctor operates, he shows you the stone afterward. If an astrologer "cuts" a planetary influence, can he show you a piece of that planet? Use your common sense. Have selfless devotion.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Whoever calls upon God or Mother Durga selflessly will not be harmed by planets. Planets are just reflections of people's actions. Sometimes a person enters your life and ruins everything—that person is your "Rahu" or "Ketu." Avoid bad company, bad thoughts, and bad speech.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I repeat, Lord Jagannath has warned of "mud rain" where brothers will kill each other. Stay safe and avoid sinful acts. Don't be religious only for show; be righteous in your heart.
Santanu Roy:
We are all experiencing our destiny (Prarabdha). Don't go to astrologers or tantriks for advice; they will only mislead you and take your money. If you truly want a remedy, go to places like Trimbakeshwar or bathe in the Seth Ganga in Puri where Lord Jagannath Himself bathes. That is the only way to find peace, not by holding an astrologer's feet.
Interviewer:
Friends, you have heard the wisdom from Gurudev and his disciple. Please follow their advice. Stay well, and may everyone be well. Pranam, Gurudev.
