ACKNOWLEDGEMENT :
The author expresses his gratitude
to Emeritus Professor J. Medhi, a renowned expert on the science
of statistics who personally did all the statistical calculations
included in this work. We are equally obliged to Prof. A. K. Barbara
and Prof. M. Devi who provided us with most of the essential data
on solar energy variations and being astrophysicists they had to
patiently suffer discourses on astrophysics made by a geologist.
The author is thankful to son Ravi, who with his
'not so generous' allowances purchased many books and journals on
'border line sciences' in his college days which have been subsequently
found 'useful' by us.
Most of all we are thankful to the humble astrologer Shri Akshaya
Deva Sarma Sastri whose unshakable faith in astrology, and at the
same time candid admission of his ignorance persuaded us to search
for scientific basis of astrology.
