Hidden meaning behind destruction of Ashoka’s Rampurva Lion

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” — Lao Tzu

In Kolkata, a priceless statue of a lion, over 2000 years old, has been broken while it was being relocated in the Indian Museum. The sculpture that has been severely damaged is of the Rampurva Lion Capital , built in the time of Ashoka the Great, and acknowledged as a rare specimen of Mauryan culture. West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan, who is the chairman of the museum's board of trustees, denied there was any breakage when asked about it on Thursday. "Nothing has broken as far as I know, " Mr Narayanan told NDTV.

Shown here is the Solar Eclipse of 10 May 2013. This eclipse is conjunct the South Node.

South Node equals the past. The New Moon eclipse equals beginnings. Confusing?

There’s still going to be a new chapter. It’s unavoidable; eclipses set the agenda, like it or not. But the SN energy suggests you’ll be revisiting a past habit (Taurus) or scenario. [1]

The eclipse [19ta31] is conjunct Mercury [17ta17] and S.Node [16ta52]. This is conjunct delta Caelum [20ta10] – a star in the constellation Caelum, [2] the Sculptor’s Chisel and by association  to stone and statues. On the IC [21le03] of the eclipse chart are the stars of the Lion – Algenubi [20le52] and Raselas [21le36].  The MC [21aq03] is aligned with Castra, in the Sea Goat’s tail.  Under stars in this area  Diana Rosenberg lists “destruction of ancient artifacts” and the essential reason for this she summarizes as follows [3]:

The land-sea symbol of the Goatfish becomes a metaphor for a great divide in humanity’s social hierarchy, a head-on collision between any old and new order, between rock hard social and political conservatism that clings to past verities and the fresh sea-winds of freedom and transformation.

Progressing the angles of the eclipse charts aligns the meridian axis with the Uranus-Pluto square. Ebertin’s key phrase for this square is “the collapse of  the old order and the construction of the new”.  In the light of the foregoing we can perceive a deeper meaning behind a relatively small incident.
