While going through the news papers and internet my attention was caught about a movie on Masterda Suryasen, the great martyr of the Chittagong armory raid, who is one of the great patriots who still generates inspiration and love for the mother land in Indians. The movie is named as ‘Chittagong’ and the director cum producer cum screenwriter for the movie is one ex-scientist Bedabrata Pain. While going through the life story of this director I am really enthused to know how the planets are going to explain these incidents in his life and to my surprise everything came out crystal clear by using the nandi nadi system of analysis.

27^th March 1963

Bedabrata was born on 27^th Match 1963. The chart presented here is cast at 6:00 at kolkata. As explained earlier there is no need of ascendant in nadi system of analysis. I request the readers to ignore the ascendant. In this case Moon will also be in the same sign throughout the day.

Jeevakaraka Jupiter occupies his own sign with Sun and Mercury indicating high level of intelligence, academic excellence and recognition from that. Mercury, the planet ruling over education, joins Jupiter and Sun in a sign of Jupiter indicating highest education and intelligence. The 2^nd from Mercury is occupied by Moon who has exchanged signs with Mars. Therefore Mercury will have the influence of both Moon and Mars in the 2^nd. Moon in the 2^nd from Mercury and Venus in the 12^th to Mercury indicates interest in artistic pursuits while influence of Mars indicates technical education like engineering etc.

Karmakaraka Saturn occupies his own sign with Ketu having Venus in the 2^nd, Jupiter-Mercury-Sun in the 3^rd and Mars-Rahu in the 7^th. Venus in the 2^nd should give good finances and wife will add to the native’s wealth. Saturn-Mars opposition involving the nodal axis indicates that the native will do a job related to engineering and machinery which involves research and inventions. Mars has exchanged signs with Moon and hence Saturn gets Moon opposition in Cancer. This indicates the native will be settled in some foreign countries for his job. Saturn having a planet in the 7^th who has exchanged signs with another planet will generally indicate change of profession. Saturn having Venus in the 2^nd and Mercury in the 3^rd, Moon in the 4^th and exchanged Moon-Mars-Rahu in the 7^th indicates native taking up to some profession involving art, writing, photography and technology which is cinema field.

Mars who indicates the male relatives like brothers, sons etc is debilitated and joined with Rahu. Nevertheless, he has exchanged signs with Moon thereby indicating some relief. However, Mercury another planet indicating a male relative is debilitated and joined with his enemy Jupiter. Further Mercury has Moon-Mars association in the 2^nd and meets Moon, Mars-Rahu first during his transits. This is ominous.

Bedabrata Pain did his schooling in St.Lawrence High School in Calcutta & South Point High School and then studied Electronics & Electrical Comm. Engg. (ECE) in IIT Kharagpur between 1982-1986 and was one of the good students. Later he went to Columbia University for M.S and Ph.D in early 1990.

During 1982-86 he was running his 19-24 years and Jupiter was transiting from Virgo to Pisces and Saturn would be transiting Virgo and Taurus. The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in transit opposite to the natal Jupiter-Mercury-Sun combination indicates beginning of a highly academic and research oriented life. After 1986 Jupiter moved from Aries to Cancer activating the natal Moon in Aries who is involved in sign exchange with Mars in Cancer. This explains his going to a foreign country. Meanwhile Saturn transiting Libra opposite to the natal Moon in Aries also explains his foreign travel. The purpose of travel is explained by the fact that both transit Jupiter and Saturn have got the influence of natal Jupiter-Mercury combination indicating education and research.

In the university he wrote plays, composed songs, organized cultural events, participated in protests against the Gulf War and demonstrations against human rights violations, and even wrote a booklet on the Kashmir conflict.

Saturn having Venus in the 2^nd, exchanged Moon in the 7^th, Mercury-Jupiter in the 3^rd explains these activities of writing and composing songs and organization of cultural events. Mars-Rahu association in the 7^th to Saturn also colored the activities with protests, agitations and conflicts.

His future wife Shonali Bose also did her Masters Degree in Political Science from Columbia University. Then he along with his four friends invented the active pixel sensor technology that produced the world's smallest camera and has been inducted to the US Space Technology Hall of Fame. Now it is used in mobiles.

The year 1990 seems to be significant for Pain as far as his research career is concerned. He along with a team invented the pixel sensor technology which bestowed upon him a place in the US Space Technology Hall of Fame and he got inducted into NASA. During 1990 he was in his 27-28 years. Jupiter was transiting Gemini and Cancer while Saturn was transiting over Sagittarius. Transit Jupiter was opposite to the natal Saturn while transit Saturn was having the natal Saturn, Venus, Jupiter-Mercury-Sun combination ahead. Added to this there is the opposition of the transit Saturn and Jupiter. All these factors indicate a significant and favorable period with fame and professional gains.

Now coming to his marriage, Venus in the 2^nd to Saturn and 12^th to Jupiter-Mercury indicates that the native will get prior acquaintance with his wife during their education and she will bring luck to the native. She will be intelligent, devoted and spiritual while adding wealth to the native.

Later he worked for NASA for 18 years as senior research scientist before quitting the job in 2008. Pain has 87 invention patents to his credit.

He worked for NASA for 18 years throughout the transit of Saturn from Sagittarius to Cancer. During this period the Jupiter-Mercury-Sun combination influenced by transit Saturn made him to achieve 87 inventions. Once Saturn reached Cancer during his 45^th year he got the contact of Mars-Moon exchange influencing the natal Saturn and hence he decided to change his profession. Next in 2008 transit Saturn moved into Leo receiving the aspect of natal Venus who has Mercury-Jupiter-Sun in the 2^nd. The native now ventured into making films.

Bedabrata was the executive producer of the award-winning film Amu in 2005.

In the year 2005, Pain was running his 42-43 years when Saturn was transiting Cancer over natal Mars-Rahu and exchanged Moon while Jupiter was transiting Virgo and Libra opposite to the natal Jupiter-Mercury-Sun and Moon. These transits indicate the forthcoming turn in his professional life.

While he was busy in making the film Chittagong, his son Ishan was killed in a freak electrical accident on September 13, 2010. In a shocking verdict, a court in Los Angeles recently refused to hold the electrical razor company responsible for Ishan's death.

As explained earlier, Mercury with Jupiter and in the 2^nd to Venus indicates the son of the native. Mercury is debilitated and has Moon and exchanged Mars in the 2^nd, both his enemies. Further Mercury will come in contact with Moon and Mars-Rahu in his transits indicating short life to the Son. Mars-Rahu and Saturn-Ketu opposition indicates the unnatural death by electric shock. On the fateful day of the accident Jupiter was transiting over Pisces and Saturn was transiting opposite in Virgo, both activating the natal Mercury confirming the incident.

13th Sep 2010

15^th Oct 2012

His first film Chittagong, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, release in India on October 12.

Natal Saturn having the association of Mars-Rahu explains the subject of revolutionary Suryasen for the movie. The movie has been released when Saturn and Jupiter were influencing the natal Moon-Mars association in Aries (Retrograde planets get the position of previous sign). Both Moon and Mars are inimical to Saturn. This indicates mental tension and disappointment. His good times will start again once Saturn moves to Sagittarius during his 57-58 years. Meanwhile, Jupiter transiting from Cancer to Virgo (52-54 years) will give him some respite.
