Bangladesh: The Echoes of Surya Putra, Karana

|| om Hrim Suryaya Namaha ||

Anga, the kingdom allotted to Karana by Duryodhana in order to officially declare him a kshatriya and thus eligible to fight Arjuna, is still reverberating with the energy of its once king, Surya Putra, Anga Raja, Karana.

The kingdom expanded with the addition Vanga, Kalinga, Malava, and Magadha notably under his rule. The capital city of the kingdom, Champa, was also marked by Varahamihra as the capital of the kingdom that was ruled by Surya. Today this part of the world is the state of West Bengal and parts of Bihar in Bharat and the nation of Bangladesh. The nation of Bangladesh, previously East Pakistan, was formed post the surrender of the Pakistani army to the Indian Army in the 1971 liberation war. The Instrument of surrender was signed on the 16th of December 1971 at 4:30 PM at the Ramna Racecourse in Dacca (now Dhaka).


A Nation Born

There are many points in time that we can attribute the creation of Bangladesh to, from the official declaration of the ruling party in March of 1971 to the International recognition of Bangladesh in Feb of 1972. However, we will look at the timing from the signature of the Instrument of surrender handing over power to the people of Bangladesh as the creation point for our purpose.

We can see that the 81st varga lagna is in perfect trines to the Rashi Lagna. Saturn in lagna in the 3rd Navamsha giving the first akshara of ‘Ba’ for the formation of the new Nation. Further confirmed in the Navamsha and Shashitiamsha.


DARKNESS Descends on the Nation

We should also look at the chart of the Nation of Pakistan to better understand the circumstances in the creation of the Nation of Bangladesh in 1971.

    • 4th house has an Amavasya yoga in Cancer.

    • Sudarshan chakra Dasha of Aries | Cancer | Cancer in Dec 1971 activating the Amavasya yoga

    • 4th house has Rahu in Aquarius

    • D9 Ketu (war/army) is lagna lord, conjoins D1 4th Lord Chandra and is in Parivartana with Surya.

    • Vimshottari dasha of Budha>Surya gives the results of Ketu from D9. War.

    • Moon effectively conjoins sun from Parivartana and creates a temporal Amavasya yoga also in D9

    • MKS Shani (Swa) in Lagna indicating strong but death like disposition towards homeland

    • 4th house with Surya in Ucha bhanga as conjoined debilitation lord Shukra

    • Vimshottari antardasha of Surya activating 4th house.

    • Varga Narayana Dasha of Chaturthamsha in Dec 1971 is Taurus > Pisces showing the sharing of property as Paka of Taurus is 4th house and Pisces as the 3rd house of loss of property shared with co-born (Bangladesh)


The smoldering battlefield 

The troubled son of Surya left his mark on this event with a Surya in Moola gandantha, Sandhi with a Sankranti dosha. This ensures that the houses lorded by the Vara lord Guru are effectively destroyed. Dhanu rashi, ruled by Guru, houses the gandantha Surya and also happens to be a Daghdha rashi, burning up its residents. The lagna lord Shukra is conjoined this Surya and consumed in the flames, not of combustion, but of the kshetra.

Shukra is also the tithi lord of a Krishna-chaturdashi Chandra and has 4/6ths consumed the Tithi creating a destructive force aimed at “maternal relatives”. Karana’s spite for his mother’s side of the family is still active and echoing through time. The battlefield represented by Sagittarius is still burning, smoldering, millenniums after his departure.


The Story

With mutual drishti, Shani and Mangal are in a Yama yoga with a cursed Mangal and a blessed Shani. Shani is the Yogakaraka for Vrishabha lagna however here in Maranakaraka sthana. This complex relationship further adds to fuel to the burning embers in the battlefield.

Moon and Ketu are in Rashi Parivartana bringing some maranakaraka energy to Jupiter. This yoga is very crucial for the chart as it is part of the Jaata rashi, in trines to the arudha lagna and kendra to the moon. The story of the nation unfolds with this yoga of Moon and Ketu. The Jagannatha dreshkhana shows this same combination in the 3rd bhava.

Rahu in Maranakaraka sthana complicates the religious dynamics of the nation as we can see the significant change in demographics from creation of the nation till today.


The next chapter

Recent unrests and the events of August 2024 culminating with the ouster of Sheikh Hasina and the shift in power dynamics within the nation can be observed from the transits and dashas unfolding on this formation chart.

From the transits we can observe three key points

  • The Yama yoga is enforced and activated with a Retrograde Shani and Mars transition over each other in perfect replication of a Parivartana

  • An Amavasya yoga on the critical yuti of Moon and Ketu in Parivartana unfolding the main story arc of the Nation.

  • Rahu’s transit in the 5th house of Sheikh Hasina’s chart (not shown here) removing her from power.


Trigger Points

From the Dashas we can observe that

  • The Vimshottari Surya Mahadasha and the Shukra antardasha starting in Dec 2023, just prior to the election, where due to the conjunction, Shukra gives the results of the Gandantha Surya bringing on the instability and transition of power.

  • This lines up well with the in the Narayana Rashi dasha of Sagittarius and antardasha of Sagittarius starting in Jan 24 again reinforcing the situation of the Gandantha Surya in a Dagdha rashi igniting the battleground


The transits and prevailing dashas are ushering in the next chapter in the Nation’s story tied to the battleground still left burning from its once troubled king. Though the fingerprint of Anga Raja Karana is visible here for the nation of Bangladesh, we can expect a similar environment in what is today Bharat’s West Bengal which however, under the aegis of Bharat, is somewhat shielded.
