I listen to astrological advice
Mulayam Singh Yadav
---- By D.Anoop Kumar

Both Jupiter Mount and Sun Mount are well-developed bestowing power and
finance. The large palm is indicative of good administrative power.
Personally I do not meet astrologers. Some astrologers do come and meet me,
through my friends. In some cases, the predictions have come true.
EST met Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav, leader, Samajwadi Party, amidst his busy
election-schedule. Some excerpts from the interview follow here :
EST : Do you believe in astrology and its predictions?
Mr. Yadav : I dont believe in astrology, but I certainly know
that astrology is considered as wealth (prasad, sampathi) in India.
EST : Do you think of it as a science?
Mr. Yadav : It is definitely a science which is not been explored
and utilised to the full extent.
EST : Has your career ever been influenced by astrology?
Mr. Yadav : My Career is not influenced by it. I only listen to the
advice given by my friends who consult astrologers.
EST : Have you come across astrologers?
Mr. Yadav : Personally I do not met astrologers. Some astrologers do
come and meet me, some through my friends. In some cases, the predictions
have come true and sometimes not, I cannot recall them. I dont even
know my date of birth accurately. I dont posses a horoscope.
EST : Do you believe in God?
Mr. Yadav : I am a wrestler and I offer prayers to Lord Hanuman
regularly.
EST : What is your opinion on astrological magazines coming with
predictions?
Mr. Yadav : If there is a good clientele, there is no harm in
publishing such magazines but they must ensure that useful information is
provided to the readers.
EST : Why has the ancient Indian subject astrology been ignored?
Mr. Yadav : Lack of knowledge on the subject by astrologers is the
main cause for such a situation. A thorough research should be undertaken
and highlighted in the media.
Readings...
Life Line : The well-started Life line goes down
upto the age of 60 and then stops. Another line continues by the side of it
and goes upto the age of 75. The break in the Life line (found in both the
palms) indicates sickness around the age of 60 but the native will recover
definitely and live upto age 75.
Head Line : Well-formed Head Line goes up to the
mount of Moon. The native will never remain idle. It also indicates strong
will-power, knowledge and hard, unyielding nature. There runs a cross-line
from Head line to Heart line at the beginning of Life line indicating
problems in life.
Heart Line : Well-formed Heart line starting from
the mount of Jupiter and well-formed mount of Venus ensure happy family
life.
Fate Line : It starts on the Life line. The
native is evidently a self-made man. Fate line forks into 2 lines one going
to the mount of Jupiter and the other to the mount of Saturn. The native may
pursue more than one career at a time.
Mars Line : It is seen in both the palms running
parallel to Life line till the age of 55. The native must have been very
energetic till that age.
Sun Line : The presence of 3 Sun lines denote
three sources of income at different ages. 2 lines have started on the Heart
line at the age of 35 and the other at the age of 40. There runs another
line under Appollo finger upto the edge of Sun mount assisting the native
financially till the old age when the other Sun lines get stopped.
Mount of Mercury : There are many vertical lines
on this Mount which check his progress and limit the chances of success.
Mount of Venus : There is a black dot on this
mount indicating serious sickness to one of the family members.
Both Jupiter Mount and Sun Mount are well-developed bestowing power and
finance. The large palm is indicative of good administrative power. A curved
line in the shape of a semi-circle at the base of the Jupiter finger confers
occult powers. Isolated Mercury finger indicates partnership difficulties.
Thumb : Long, large thumb indicates that the
native is governed by the head and not the heart. The length of the thumb
speaks of his steadfastness and consistency. Both the first and the second
phalanx are quite large indicating self-reliance and good decisive power.
