  • An Innovative Model to Predict Earthquakes in Indian Peninsula Y
    British Journal of Earth Sciences Research Vol.3, No.1, pp.42-62, September 2015 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) AN INNOVATIVE MODEL TO PREDICT EARTHQUAKES IN INDIAN PENINSULA Y. V. Subba Rao Visiting Professor, Department of Jyotish Rashtriya Sanskrit University, Tirupati, A.P., India ABSTRACT: Can earthquakes be predicted? So far, the answer is no. Scientists are unlikely to be ever able to predict earthquakes with any amount of certainty, according to the United States Geological Survey Apr 25, 2013. An Innovative Model for Earthquake Prediction (IMEP) proposed in this paper is a combination of Vedic Astrology (Vedānga), Varāha Mihira’s Brihat Samhita and scientific data of magnetic variations, structural geology such as fault zones, tectonic plates’ directions, loose soil areas of all the earthquakes occurred in Indian Peninsula shield over a period of 200 years. In the course of preparation of this paper, it is observed that the earthquakes occured at regular intervals of about 11 years and mostly during bright fortnight due to extraordinary astronomical phenomena occurring in the planets and special movements of the heavenly bodies. Vedānga and Brihat Samhita state that earthquakes are caused by eclipses of the luminaries. It is, therefore, plausible to predict earthquakes in a specific locality within a specific time limit utilising this model. However, as an initial step, the present model has been designed for application for India. The next earthquake in Indian peninsula is predicted to occur on Wednesday, the 16th March, 2016 on the basis of the proposed hypothesis model.

  • Possible Period of the Design of Nakshatras and Abhijit
    Possible period of the design of Nakshatras and Abhijit Sudha Bhujle1 and M N Vahia2 1 Raheja Vihar, Powai, Mumbai, [email protected] 2Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, [email protected] Abstract The Nakshatras were designed to keep track of the moon’s path in the night sky. The ancient literature does not give the exact position of these Nakshatras but there are many stories associated with each Nakshatrā. There are a total of 27 Nakshatras spanning the night sky and the Moon takes and average of one day to cross each Nakshatra. The earliest mention of Nakshatras is in Vedas. Some of the Vedic literature mentions 28 Nakshatras. The Nakshatra Abhijit gets dropped in the later on documents. However, as per the present association of stars with these Nakshatras, several of them are as far as 25º away from the ecliptic where as Moon travels only about 5º on either side of the ecliptic. The possibility that in the remote past the ecliptic could have been 25º north to the present is not likely. We study the sky pattern from 3500 BC to 2005 AD and show that the Moon’s path was closest to the maximum number of Nakshatrās around 3000 BC. To account for 28 Nakshatrās we also looked for the likelihood that a transient star may have existed in the region of Abhijit around the time when the Nakshatrās were defined. We did find a Supernova of apparent magnitude brighter than the brightest star that must have been visible in the region where Abhijit was supposed to be around 3000 BC.
