SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR VEDIC ASTROLOGY - By Dr. Pranav Jyoti Deka
Superimposition
of stellar classification on average 27-day cyclic variations of geomagnetic
index Kp:......
The statistical probability of 4 specific numbers (4, 12, 21, 26) in a 27 number series falling into one and the same group (high or low) is one in ten thousand by random selection.
The specific positions 4th, 12th, 21st and 26th if had to be maintained only for a single character (high or low) the probabily will go further down . Four definite sequential positions in a 27 position series can be obtained in four hundred thousand tries.
Under a less strict statistical condition if the Chara class is removed as 'unpredictable' from the reckoning and the rest are considered as behaving ideally, that is correspondence among the rest of the 22 points are hundred percent, the probability of obtaining such an ideal synchronization by random selection is 10-34 which is vertually impossible to achieve.
The chances of achieving, by the process of random selection, the correspondence obtained between the Naksatras of various class and the level of geomagnetic disturbances in particular date, as shown in the Diagram-1 will be half of 10-34, which indicates that such coincidence is possible only if concious attempt has been made to synchronize earthly happenings with the periodicity of lunar occultation with various Naksatras.
To minimize controversy even if only the Dhruba class of Naksatras and their periodic positions are taken into account, the possibility level of one in four hundred thousands, rules out any chance formulation of stellar classification as given by Varahamihira.
The final hurdle in establishing our postulation is that question may be raised, how one can be sure that the 27-day cycle of magnetic disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere is in fact generated by the 27-day solar energy variations?
As early as 1967, T. Obayashi observed, 'In spite of these different hypotheses, all theories postulate solar active centres, and they admit that enhanced beams of solar particles are the cause of recurrent geomagnetic disturbances" (P. 115. Solar Wind-Geomagnetic Field Interaction : Disturbed). In the last thirty years nobody seriously challenged this statement. It implies that the sequence or periodicity of the electromagnetic disturbances on the Earth's atmosphere will be that same as the increase and decrease of solar energetic particles reaching the earth's atmosphere, and that in turn will follow the sequence of 'Solar active centres' showing different intensity of energy emission facing this Earth. The first two will be synchronous but there will be a time lag between the Third and the first two, extension of which will depend upon the distance solar wind had to cover and speed at which it travelled.

Solar energy manifests on the earth's surface in the forms of light, heat, solar particles and plasma, and from these multiple constituents, we had to select one as a measuring medium which will be extremely sensitive to solar energy protons MeV range. IMP 8 measured as concentration per cubic centemeter serves our purpose best, as it shows wide variation 0.01 to 80 protons per cubic centemeter depending upon the level of energy flow (R. Lust -The Properties of Interplanetary Space 1967).
The choice of time for attempted correlation was determined for us by availibility of continuous data on solar activities, published as 'Solar Geophysical Data comprehenshive Reports National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Data and information Service. Boulder, Colorado. U.S.A. in our library.
To keep our selection of time as far as possible unbiased, three cycles of 27-day has been taken. Two of them are consecutive, within the period from Ist of May to 30th June 1980. Then moving backward, skiping two cycles (54-days) again considered 27-days comprised of parts of two different cycles. Such selection has been made with two intentions: first, to find out that even though the solar energy quantum reaching the earth's atmosphere for a periodic position (day) within the 27-day cycle is not same, stil whether they maintain the periodicity of high and low energy. Secondly, whether the correspondence of periodicity is maintained in two consecutive cycles or not, and then after a gap of two cycles (54-days) whether the periodic sequence will be still maintained?
The results of such superimposition is shown in Diagram -2 and Diagram-3.
From these diagrams it become evident that :
1. Though average energy level (density) is different in each individual cycle, the periodicity of high and low is maintained in different cycles in unaltered pattern.
2. Some Naksatras are not constant in following the dictum of astrology. As for example, Bharani (No.2) belonging to Ugra class of Naksatra should have shown coincidence with high density protons, but the four positions of Bharani indicated in our diagrams only in one position Bharani, (7th May), show high energy, on 3rd and 30th June it coincides with low and on 16th May it shows medium density. Such inconsistancy has confused the ancient astrologers too. While Varahamiira considered birth 'under' Bharani Naksatra as auspicious, according to Parasara, a 'Bharani native will be cruel, untruthful, fickleminded, thief etc. This indicates that Varahamihira accepted that Bharani's position in the Naksatra series coincides with a low energy and low disturbance day, whereas when Parasara collected data, Bharani must have coincided with high energy day periodicity.
The coincidence of periodicity of 'high energy' Naksatras with higher concentration (density) of protons and 'low energy' Naksatras with low proton density during the period between February 1980 and July 1980 is too obvious to need any elaboration, but when this attempt of synchronization was extended cycle after cycle, the stars started to slide ahead. The rectification of this 'sliding' is intricate and beyond the scope of the present work.
It may be asked, how far the coincidence of the days and Naksatras as indicated in the diagrams can be used as a tool in the applied astrology for the purpose of prediction? The answer is, 'pretty little'. Any person curious enough to pick up any standard almanac for the year 1980 and ckeck the position of the Moon on the 7th June will find that Moon is sighted near the Naksatra Purbavadrapada (No.25) and not Ardra (No.6) as it should have been if synchronization is fully effective, but there is a discrepancy of 19 Naksatras.
It would have been a miracle of first order if the Moon conjuncted Ardra on the 7th June 1980, just to support our thesis. Our contention is that the stellar classification follows the same periodicity pattern as the solar energy variation pattern within the 27-day cycle and not about indefinite stability of such synchronization. In fact, the post Vedic Indian astrologers renegated stellar-lunar astrology to a secondary position and opted for zodiacal-ascendant, 24 hours solar energy variation cycle generated by the revolution of the Earth on its axis, where rectification of the positions are much easier as it is done on strength of optical observations of actual positions of the celestial bodies. Whereas in the stellar-lunar astrology the coordination must be done on the basis of 'appreciable effects on the mundane affairs', as the segments of the Sun facing the Earth cannot be discerned with naked eyes.
Astronomical reasons why coordination between lunar occultation with
particular Naksatra and the energy regime on the Earth's surface,
generated by solar wind energy stream cannot be maintained for an
extended and continuous period of time have been discussed in another
part of this book. The synchronization will get gradually lost to
regain it then to lose again. When the two cycles are in synchronized
position, the elective astrology will give near perfect predictions
and when they are in discordance, the elective predictions will become
ineffective.
