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 which occurred on a full moon day, owing to a particular inter-planetary struggle and the effect was delivered by moon aligning with Mrigasrisham (Orionis)."
