Vedic sciences defined methodologies to predict Earth Quakes

[Guest guest]

PUNE:

Do ancient eastern sciences hold the key to earthquake prediction on the basis

of unusual cloud patterns?

 

It may seem likely as the ancient theory of 'earthquake clouds', which finds

mention in the 6th century astronomermathematician Varahamihira's Brihat

Samahita, is also the subject of research at the Earthquake Prediction Centre,

California, and under scrutiny in Pune.

 

According to US-based quake researcher Zhonghao Shou, who has been using

satellite imagery to predict quakes on the basis of peculiar cloud formations,

ancient Chinese and Italians studied special clouds which were indicative of

impending earthquakes.

 

A website on earthquake clouds and short term prediction maintained by him —

'Earthquake clouds and short term prediction' homepage

(http://quake.exit.com/index.html), states that he had predicted "a China or

Neighbour EQ Cloud" more than 24 hours before the Pakistan quake happened.

Closer home in Pune, Vedic scholar S.N. Bhavsar has been pleading for wider,

multi-disciplinary scientific investigation into chapter 32 of the Brihat

Samahita, which correlates earthquakes with unusual cloud formations,

underground and undersea activity, abnormal behaviour of animals and cosmic and

planetary influences.

 

According to him, Varahamihira speaks of unusual cloud formations a week before

the occurrence of a quake.

 

Incidentally, a Varanasi-based 'cloud reader' has also claimed that he had

predicted Saturday's quake and had even alerted the International Strategy for

Disaster Reduction Secretariat, five days in advance.

 

Asked about the 'earthquake clouds' theory, Pune-based seismic researcher Arun

Bapat told TNN that it could not be ruled out as changes in the earth's magnetic

field before a quake could have an impact on clouds and other atmospheric

phenomenon.

Jai Srimannarayana,

Another interesting fact:

In the 'Panchangam' published by JET, it is said that the month of

'Aaswiyuja' may see earth quakes as there are Five-Tuesdays in that

month!

 

Jai Srimannarayana!
