Man goes wrong on own death prediction!
Reuters
Bhopal, October 21, 2005
Hundreds of people flocked to a village in India on Thursday to see
if an astrologer who forecast his own death would indeed die as predicted.
But the 75-year-old man survived the day.
Kunjilal Malviya, who lives south of Bhopal, had been meditating in
his house after announcing he would die on Thursday between 3 p.m. and 5
p.m (0930-1130 GMT).
A police official confirmed the astrologer was fine and quoted his
family members as saying the prediction failed because many of those
gathered had prayed for him to live.
"We are afraid of his prediction coming true because all his
predictions till date have been correct," his son Anirudh said by phone
earlier on Thursday.
"My father had predicted the death of my grandfather 15 years ago
and it came true exactly like he calculated."
Police have been posted near the house to prevent the astrologer
from killing himself, authorities said.
Millions of Indians consult astrologers about their futures as well
as marriage and job prospects.
Malviya's prediction is not the first of its type by an Indian
astrologer. But in the past, crowds have beaten up astrologers when their
predicted demise failed to occur.
