Astrologer predicts own death, draws crowds

Bhopal, October 20: Hundreds of Indians flocked to a village in Bhopal on Thursday to see if an astrologer who forecast his own death would die as predicted.

Kunjilal Malviya, 75, who lives in Sehara village, about 200 km south of Bhopal, was meditating in his house after announcing he would die on Thursday.
His family fears his forecast will come true.
“We are afraid of his prediction coming true because all his predictions till date have been correct,” his son Anirudh said by phone.

“My father had predicted the death of my grandfather 15 years ago and it came true exactly like he calculated.”
Television footage showed relatives and friends seated around Malviya, singing religious songs and reading Hindu texts.
Policemen have been posted near his house to prevent the astrologer from killing himself, authorities said.

'Aa'eshah reported that when she asked Allaah's messenger (pbuh) about fortune-tellers, he replied that they were nothing. She then mentioned that the fortune-tellers sometimes told them things, which were true. The Prophet (pbuh) said: "That is a bit of truth which the Jinn steals and cackles in the ear of his friend; but he mixes along with it a hundred lies." (al-Bukhari, Muslim)

Re: Astrologer predicted his own death

I forget the name of the person in history that also predicted his death but when the day came he was healthy and fine. So to make himself look good he killed himself. I think this guy also poisoned himself prior to the police...or went to the bathroom and did something so he would die looking good.
