Vedic Horoscope for Akbar The Great
Turkish-Persian mogul, the most famous of Indian monarchs. A great sportsman, rider, hunter and warrior ambitious for conquest, he was an economist and superior ruler. Deeply religious, a Hindu pantheist who later became a monotheist, he had a type of epilepsy and during his attacks had mystical visions. After a profound mystical experience in 1582, he was convinced that he was divine. Vincent A. Smith "Akbar, The Great Mogul" (1917, p.14-19), discusses "The Memoirs of Jahangir", the personal attendent of King Humayun who was present at Akbar's birth. The Persian mms was translated in 1863 and published in 1917, now in British Museum. It gives "Shaban 14, A.H. 949" which equates to 11/23/1542 noted as OS on p.449, at Umarkot, between Hindustan and Sind. The L&L is given in a footnote on p.14. Jahangir makes note that the official date is given as 10/15/1542 (Sunday 5 Rajab) "to confuse hostile astrologers, with that date chosen as it was reputed to be the conception date of the prophet Mohammed." The time is given as "the night of the full Moon", spec time from LMR.
