Speaking at the Golden Jubilee of the Sucharitha Movement, President R. Premadasa said that after he was born, his father had gone to meet the well-known astrologer K. W. Jinadasa and had asked him to cast his son’s horoscope. A few days later, he had gone to see him again to get the horoscope read. He found that the astrologer was reluctant to do so. After much persuasion, the astrologer had said that the predictions are of an unusual nature. “If the birth time of your son is accurate, he would one day rule the country.”
His father had scoffed at that rash prediction, as the country was under the British Raj at the time, with no Independence in sight. The astrologer then said that was what the stars foretold. The President said that this prophecy made in 1924 had come true in 1988, when he became the President of Sri Lanka, adding that he decided to reveal this secret as a tribute to the science of astrology and those who master it.
