Якобы королевский астролог Mangal Raj Joshi (чья семья работала
на Непальских королей 20 поколений) утверждает, что никто не
ожидал такого и что и сейчас он не способен обьяснить.

Что о предсказаниях (35 лет и т.д. - см. мое предыдущее письмо -Д.М.)
он знает только из газет. И что он потерял !! гороскоп короля Birendra.
(Joshi confessed to having lost King Birendra's horoscope, a complex 
symbol of geometrical diagrams and Sanskrit symbols, prepared on
the basis of the exact time and place of his birth. The chart would have
mapped out the dead king's life in detail).

Astrologer unable to foresee royal
massacre

Kathmandu under new curfew as riots go on

  A NEPALESE Royal Astrologer confessed yesterday that the massacre of 
the royal family in a hail of bullets had been "unforeseen".

  Mangal Raj Joshi, the court astrologer, said
yesterday: "No one expected it. I am not able to
explain what happened but it is terrible." The
81-year-old astrologer was sitting cross-legged in a
dingy room in a suburb of Nepal's capital,
Kathmandu, surrounded by astrological charts,
horoscopes and faded pictures of the murdered
King Birendra and Queen Aishwaraya.

  He added: "Heavenly planets control the situation on the ground and
sometimes we are unable to
explain them adequately." Joshi, whose family has
worked for Nepal's Shah kings for more than 20
generations, continues as the new King
Gyanendra's astrologer and as head of the National
Calendar Committee. His first task for the new monarch is to determine
the
most auspicious time for his crowning on Monday morning.

 Nepal's royals, like the rest of the country, are dependent on
astrologers,
palmists and soothsayers. They rely heavily on their star-reading skills
and ability to "manage" planets to help them navigate their private and
public lives.
Joshi said he had not consulted with the two other royal soothsayers
after last
week's killings because the 10 deaths had "numbed" them all. 

  He claimed no knowledge, other than from newspaper accounts, of the
astrological prediction that cautioned King Birendra's son and heir
Dipendra
from marrying before he was 35 years old, as that would spell the end of
the
Shah dynasty. The prince is believed to have gunned down his parents and
seven relatives after a row over his choice of bride.

    However, Joshi confessed to having lost King Birendra's horoscope, a
complex symbol of geometrical diagrams and Sanskrit symbols, prepared on
the basis of the exact time and place of his birth. The chart would have
mapped out the dead king's life in detail.

   But the court soothsayer, who also teaches astrology at Kathmandu's
Tribhuvan University, admits that determining any person's date of death
requires "deep and intense study". Joshi also taught Crown Prince
Dipendra
geography in his MA besides giving him "celestial" advice. Joshi, a
valued
aide, was awarded the coveted Right Hand of the Gorkha medal by the dead
king.

His duties at court include deciding the date and time for all major
royal
events and presiding over the monarch's birthday celebrations
