Vedic AstroMeteorology based Weather Forecast by S. Ramachandran

Vedic Astro-Meteorology is the science of using the vedic sutras (aphorisms) on astronomy to forecast global weather conditions. An astro-meteorologist, S. Ramachandran from Tamil Nadu has been researching this field since 1997 and has successfully published Weather forecasts with the ancient Vedic knowledge system as the basis.

Introduction

‘I predict natural disasters using vedic knowledge’, says S. Ramachandran on Technology News.

Ramchandran’s interest in astrology began in early ’90s that led him to explore deep into ancient texts like Jyotida Vishayamritham later, moving into astro-meteorology where he studied texts like the Brhat Samhita. Vedic astro-meteorology is a geocentric study ie. it keeps Earth as the central point of study. S. Ramachandran prepares a geocentric planetary graph every year using data from the NASA website and juxtaposes it with the veidic sutras (aphorisms or formulae available in Vedic texts) to forecast weather and earthquakes. According to him, these texts explain inter-planetary relationships, the struggle between their orbiting positions and the effect of their disturbance on the sun and the earth. Explaining further he says,

"In Vedic astro-meteorology the geocentric study has divided the solar system into two parts for studying the behaviour patterns — one among the planets between sun and earth and the second among planets beyond earth. They also provide significance to the alignment of plants with a particular star in the zodiac. For instance, the 2004 tsunami in Chennai which occurred on a full moon day, was owing to a particular inter-planetary struggle and the effect was delivered by moon aligning with Mrigasrisham (Orionis)."

Transcription of S.Ramachandran's Interview

Interviewer: There were floods in Kerala recently. You had already predicted these floods. What kind of prediction was it ? When did you give it and on what basis ?

S.Ramachandran: I publish my weather forecasts in the previous year itself. For instance, the annual weather forecast for the year 2018 was ready by the end of July, 2017 and was published by August, 2017. In that, I have specified the dates of rains, when the monsoon will set, it will be sluggish, etc. I my forecast I have clearly given date specific data on how on certain dates there are possibilities of floods due to heavy rains. However, I have failed in one thing. I said that from the end of June until August will witness the best rainfall in the South-West monsoon period. I had also mentioned that South and North-west will have deficit rainfall while east, central and north India will get good rains. That is my short coming. However, the calamity struck on the dates provided by my forecast. I have learnt what my mistake was - the rains now were depression related. At the time of depression, its outer wing became extremely powerful giving heavy rains in the catchment areas and hills in the westcoast. There have been rains and related problems in Orissa and Madhya Pradesh where I predicted also. Ofcourse, I didn't expect loss in such a huge magnitude but heavy rains and flooding has occurred on the dates predicted by me.
