  1. COVID19 RELATED WOES IN INDIA DURING APRIL 2021.
    This Vedic astrology writer had at different stages of time, covered VOVID-19 or mutated variant of coronavirus , calling upon people to take more care and appropriate strategy. Such coverage is brought out here at one place, as follows:-
    (A). When is the world coming out from the dreadful grip of COVID-19? W.H.O chief said on 21 April 2020 – “The worst is not yet over” , published at astralis.it/kumar06.htm on 16 May 2020.
    “One more alert prediction here for exercising more care and appropriate strategy. A period of nearly one and a half month from mid-April to 31 May in 2021 , particularly last eleven days of May 2021 would call for more alertness and appropriate strategy. In the absence of alertness and appropriate strategy , COVID-19 can re-emerge with greater strength and increased mischief in vulnerable most parts of the world. The planetary impact appears to be prone to suggest another reading covering mid-April to 31 May in the coming year 2021 – full-fledged war somewhere , could even be something most dreaded WW3 besides crisis in economy , trade and food sectors”.
    (B). India in the year 2021 –planetary impacts interpreted:kushal kumar , published at theindiapost.com on 7 September, 20220.

    “( 5 ). The time – period of one and a half month spawning over second half of April to full May ( 15 April to 31 May ) in 2021 , looks to be one of strategy to vitalize farmers , agriculture and crop-shortages. Cost of energy resources like gas , oil , power , can either jump or some issues concerning production , storage , and distribution of these may get obstructed. Shortages of food , eatables and life-saving medicines can be in close focus. The right course can be to get involved on war footing as soon as any related issue comes to notice. Advice of best and credible experts in the related field may be had without loss of time , and acted upon to provide cover. Within this period of 15 April to 31 May , the one of 11 days from about 21 May to 31 May seems to be calling particular attention. The compulsive and restrictive nature of times may present situations before Delhi to either bear the enormity of worrisome concern or to take recourse to a bit contrary to certain principles or policies hitherto pursued. A decision to be taken may be hard but there may not be a broad choice available. War or war-like postures of hostile countries can cause worry. It may be in the fitness of things to allow this period to pass without giving a push to major initiatives about partnership deals with other countries. A time when maintaining independent or exclusive decision-making may be harder”.
    (C). “Major worrisome concerns in India during a period of nearly two months from about 7 April to 31 May 2021 calling for more care and appropriate strategy . Such strategy may have to be continued as long as 10 August 2021 in some form or the other” – published at english.nirpakhawaaz.in on 3 April 2021.

    “(5). Major worrisome health concerns look to be mounting. While COVID-19 pandemic seems to be getting expansive strength to cause worry, the mutated form or one came from other countries may be needing better attention. Besides, such health complaints as headache, eye-ache, body-fever, encephalitis , loss of appetite may call for increased and focused attention during the period”.
    The predictive alerts in (A) to (C) are self-speaking, being confirmed fully by actual happenings on the ground.
