When Lord Shiva Lets loose the Ganga

340 mm of rain fall on the 15th June,2013,375% higher than the normal monsoon rainfall caused the divine river Ganga and its tributaries to flood  the state of Uttarakhand.About 60,000 people are stranded at various holy places and thousands are missing till date and many declared dead. Nothing was left behind at the Kedarnath temple area apart from the holy shrine.Many hotels,building,bridges and roadways collapsed across the state.Following is a writeup on the floods and the damage caused on wikipedia.

On a study of the astrological factors which contributed to the devastation we can see Neptune and Saturn playing a significant role in the event. All the airy signs Gemini,Libra and Aquarius are afflicted currently. Gemini is afflicted by the presence of an Atichara Jupiter who is in a multi planetary conjunction with Mercury,Venus and Sun.Libra is afflicted with a Retrograde Saturn and Rahu conjunction.Saturn which is conjunct with Neptune in both Trimsamsa and Khavedamsa Charts is about to turn direct within a few days.

In addition following are the contributing factors : 

1.In the Rasi Chart,Neptune, the God of waters, is currently transiting in the constellation of Satabhisha.,in the sign of Aquarius,which is an airy sign.

Rahu is the lord of Satabhisha and  presiding deity of the constellation is Varuna.

This combination of an airy sign and Neptune is the trigger for the storm.

In addition to this, Neptune, who is transiting satabhisha as said above, has turned retrograde on the 5th of June.
Retrogression of Neptune in the star lorded over by  Rahu shows strong karmic forces in action which were long overdue.
Neptune placed as above in the Rasi chart is supported by explosive formations in the Trimsamsa and Khavedamsa.

2.In the Trimsamsa chart for 15th June, we can see Retrograde Neptune conjunct with Retrograde Pluto and Retrograde Saturn over the Galactic centre. If we observe the longitudes in the Trimsamsa chart both Neptune and Saturn being retrograde are in the constellation of Moola.Which is lorded over by Niritti,the goddess who delivers the curses of  Gods.

3.In the Khavedamsa chart for the day, we can see both Neptune and Saturn being conjunct in the Watery sign of Cancer.

4.Most importantly,the Constellation of Satabhisha where Retrograde Neptune is transiting,signifies North Indian regions of Kailash,Tibet,Himachal Pradesh as per Brihat Samhitha of Varahamihira.

Human intervention with the nature by way of diverting several rivers and tributaries to fuel many hydro power plants and rapid deforestation in the name of development should have caused the supreme Lord shiva to let loose the Ganga without stopping it !!!
