Description :
Tsunami: is the word of Japanese origin. It means “a huge wave in the bay”. Science today recognizes Tsunami as long sea waves generated by the sources that are other than that of meteorological origin. Such as – Earthquakes, submarine volcanic eruptions, submarine & surface landslides and rock falls. Vulnerable areas for Tsunami occurrence are seashores having ports and infrastructure facilities. Most vulnerable areas are lowlands, steep bays, lagoons, estuaries, deltas etc. Vedic astrology has developed a method, few thousand years back in time, to time, the natural disasters occurring due to Earthquakes, Volcanic eruptions or Tsunamis that occur because of earthquakes deep inside the sea-bed. If this knowledge is applied properly we may time the events like Tsunami. These can be timed one year in advance. Vedic astrology considers The tides of Moon. It is an established fact that the high and low tides of the sea are controlled by waxing and waning phases of the moon. The peaks of the tides are during full moon(waxing) and new moon(waning). This phenomenon occurs due to gravitational force exerted by the moon, causing the tides to rise and fall. Astrological theory states one more thing that, more planets on either axis of the Moon or the Sun during such full or new moon, increases gravitational force and causes the tides to increase proportionately in the size. Maharshi Jaimini& Varahamira advocate certain sutras in their treatises. Based on these sutras that are given by them I have fixed 15 main things that one needs to study. Now these become the 15 rules of study. There is a main chart/horoscope for the event of Tsunami & special chart that deals with these disasters called Rudramsa divisional chart based on the main chart. Depending upon the number of rules that become applicable out of 15, 6 points per rule are given. This totals to 90 points. Percentage is calculated based on total score of points, out of total 90 points. Total 20 events have been analysed. 19 events out of 20 have shown a percentage more than 50% rules can be applied as has been suggested in the Vedic Astrology. This really is encouraging to pursue research in this direction in future. Ultimately based on these the final conclusion is drawn.
