I AM ALIVE!

When "Nothing" Happens.

I had always this confusion.

From the very beginning, when I was admitted in the school.

Now at 72, I think, maybe, this happens to everyone. Most of us just don't know that we don't know! We are even quite unaware also that we were not aware.

This is going a bit messy. 

So let me come straight to the point.

The title could either mean - 

Nothing important happens, 

Or,

Anything whatever, that is expected or likely to happen doesn't take place.

For example you do some experiment, and you know nothing about what you want to do or find out by doing this.

Or, you're in a new situation you never had been before now.

A single example may help in what I want to say. 

My elder brother took me to the school where there were boys of my age and only a few of them were acquainted with any other. All were just alone, new and no one knew what to talk about another. So all we were sitting silent. Then the teacher gave us an exercise to do. It was simple for me, because I had been doing it at home since a week ago.

Simply I had to write down the alphabet. Some of them had never done this before coming in the class. They too were just silent, may be waiting for when the class is over and they return to home.

Fortunately for me, soon the class was concluded and we rushed to go back to home.

This was to go on like this the next few days. But from the next day we started to know one another by name. We opened up by and by and started to play and talk with others. Soon we formed groups of 2 or more, of our own. We soon knew who lives where and who can we come with.

We finished a week and then there was a holiday. Occasionally there would be so many school days and a few holidays in between. Summarily, we got accustomed to the regime.

In the end of the year, there was exam. We didn't have any idea about what it meant. But later on it turned out it was but an exercise in writing the alphabet, a few words and small sentences, giving answer to simple questions about our day to day life. There was a oral session and we all passed the exam.

Then we used to utter the phrase -

Nothing happened! 

In this way I passed the school and had to join the college. Then there I passed the graduation but Nothing happened. 

Then I tried hard to get some suitable  employment but Nothing happened.

Finally I got a clerical job. I learned the practices I had to perform in the office.

But nothing happened!

I was but flowing in the stream, trying to somehow survive and return to home in the evening. This went on like this for a few years, but Nothing happened. I was not even aware what I was expecting to happen. In comparison, all my friends knew well and were certain about what they wanted to do and had been working cleverly to attain their immediate goal. They were living in the "Now" howsoever small or long interval of their own time. They may have been successful, failed or frustrated, happy or unhappy. They knew what is meant by achievement. I, on the other hand was just waiting and passing the time. I couldn't see what worthwhile may "happen"  and what I should expect. Then I realized, everyone in life keeps on dreaming all the time in the life. Either about the past or about the future.. I, on the other hand never knew about what exactly I have to achieve in the imagined future that would not be "Nothing".

Really, Nothing whatsoever happened.

My well-wishers, friends and others who knew me began to tell me that I was just useless and disgruntled and don't know 

What Life / World is all about.

Be serious, get married, run the life if a normal person.

You are just wasting away your precious life and opportunities to achieve success. Maybe you are going to end up your life in aimless pursuations and making out yourself a laughing stock for all those others who are concerned of you.

I was really so, I attended only all those immediate things like my job and how to make myself happy all the times. It's not that I was a kind of a stoic, an ascetic or one inclined to find out about God or the one who aspired to become a religious or spiritual teacher -vwhatever this means. Now I see I was just driven by the flow of life and not even I was curious enough to find out answers to those questions like -

What Life / World is all about,

If really there is someone a person or an agency be whatever its name and form that might have built / created all this existence around myself and  the world where I find myself day to day.

It never occurred to me that I really need such a God at all. It was just a superficial idea that I felt a useless and irrelevant one.

But just as I told you in the earlier lines, I was somehow just flowing in and along the stream of life that was not "my" or of "others" but was there just because of some coincidence or a chance I had fallen into.

Till now "Nothing Happened!"

Then my attention was drawn to the reality, the situation that I was, and then this question arose in me that had been really forcing me so for all the time. It was like the undercurrent and I was just floating in the surface. Then for the first time I was serious. The question causing a deep gorge in me where I had to go through a free fall within it. But I wasn't scared at all. Not a bit. This free fall took me to meditation. The aimless purposeless following the force that was drawing me within myself. Involuntarily all my mental wanderings came to stop.  I was in a vacuum. This vacuum was indeed splendid, literally gorgeous.

So, there was a deep gorge that was swallowing me,  and I had no control over the situation.

This was a fantastic silence, full of wonderment, tranquility, stillness and Peace.

Still I survived but all my recognition and recognization of myself was just lost, vanished irretrievably.

In the beginning, initially there was also a great consternation because I didn't know what was really going to "happen". However the Silence, the vacuum and the Peace prevailed and I was drenched and soaked into it. I became the very thing, merged into, dissolved into it that had swallowed me alive

I AM ALIVE. 

Still "Nothing Happened!"

Life continues though.

I am alive.

Astrology : State Nations.

Birth and Death of the Geo-Political State-Nations.

A proposed Criteria and an Algorithm.

Presently, let us start with Nepal as a case for a study-model.

On the 08-09-2025 or a day before, I had posted a preview of the date : 09-09-2025 (Tuesday) with a Numerological point of view of Astrology.

Obviously and evidently, It was Tuesday - day of the week, the date, and the month  were 09, and the year 2025 too summed up to 09. I just felt it was an indication of violent events throughout the world. I do agree I couldn't point out a place where it may happen.

We are all observing how this year from the very beginning us turning out to be a year of turbulent geopolitical and global unprecedented events. 

Observing whatever is going on all over the world, I just focused my attention on Nepal. I was trying to study the past of this State-Nation. In the year 2008, the Kingdom had turned from being the only Hindu Nation into a Democratic Secular State owing to the pressures of the China and its Communist Party.

The interim and the ad hoc Government of Nepal under the prime-ministership of Sushila Karki has declared the due dates of elections at the in the next year 2026, at the earliest.

From 2008 to 2026, it has been 18 long years when instability and uncertainty ruled over Nepal.

Taking a clue from this, I felt it was a period of Rahu considering vinshottarI dashA point of view. The dark Times of 18 long years of Nepal are going to end with the beginning of the year 2026. The next vinshottari dashA will be of Jupiter. I can predict that Nepal would regain its State of being a Sovereign Hindu Nation-State again. The days of the Royal state of the Government may never return.

There is ample chance that this will help ignite a spark of Global Hindu SanAtana Dharma resurrection where BHarat will be at the helm of vast transformations at the workd-level.

Then I just out of curiosity, traced back the past vinshottari dashA periods of the Nation-State Nepal. I could extrapolate the different vimshottari dashA periods in the earlier post.

As follows here-under :

Mars 7

Moon 10

Sun 6

Venus 20

Ketu 7

Mercury 17

Saturn 19

Jupiter 16

Rahu 18

(In the reverse direction)

राहु 18

बृहस्पति 16

शनि 19

बुध 17

केतु 7

शुक्र 20

सूर्य 6

चंद्र 10, और

मंगल 7

This sums up to a 120 year-cycle.

During such 16 cycles, Nepal

went through 1990 years in the past, before 2008.

From the available History of Nepal,  maybe, we can find out a pattern and try to foresee what is there in the future of Nepal.

This is just a study-model only.

The only purpose of this post is to draw attention of those far more experienced, competent and capable Astrologers, they can perhaps better evaluate how for my study model is useful or is just a trash!
