Hindu astrologers predicted disaster during the period February 4-5 when five planets, the sun. the moon, and an invisible body called Khentu moved into rough alignment. Predictions of disaster were based on astrological tables. Reaction was so widespread that it prompted Prime Minister Nehru to ridicule the predictions in an address: "I do not know the secrets of nature. We will know them gradually. But what we don't know, we should not accept blindly. At least what strikes our intelligence as completely absurd should not be accepted."
