Astrology & Vastu

See how an Indian Government Department, on which expenditure of billions is made, is much worse than Astrologers, in deliveries.
A few years back, we had read news about an astrologer from Gujarat, who was arrested by Police on the charges of creating panic and fear among general public. What was crime of the poor astrologer? He had predicted about a possible earthquake. Since, success rate of his predictions was quite high, people believed on the same and fled from the city. Due to misfortune of the astrologer and fortune of public, earthquake did not materialize and the astrologer was arrested due to obvious reasons.
What if the same phenomenon, albeit at a much larger level, was created by a Government Department, on whose billions of taxpayers’ money are expended?
Elaborating the matter, we want to draw the attention of our esteemed members towards an earlier interesting posting on this web page i.e. Meteorology vs. Astrology – Why this hypocrisy by Media.
In that post, we had informed that how ‘Meteorology Department’ of ‘Government of India’ had informed whole of India that Monsoon will arrive on June 10 and as per prediction of team headed by Āchary Kalki Krishna, the said date was after June 27. However, Monsoon actually arrived on June 28.
One may ask why we are making such a big issue of monsoon predictions. The reason is very specific. Despite of high growth in industrial and service sector, Indian Economy is still agro based. Two third of Indians depend on Agro income and 65% of Indian agriculture depends on Rains. Rains in India are Monsoon driven, hence, this big issue.
However, the story of Monsoon prediction does not end with the prediction of date of its arrival. For knowing the actual story, we have to go through the predictions made by Meteorology Department. They predicted that:

1. The Monsoon will arrive on time,
2. Majority of rains will be in the month of June,
3. The quantum of rains will be less than average. Even drought like situation was predicted;
4. Latter half of August and especially September will be completely dry;
5. Scant or no rains in Western part of India.
Against above prediction of Meteorology Department, which sucks in billions of taxpayers’ money, what the team headed by Āchary Kalki Krishna did predict? Just see:
1. Rain in totality will be above average.
2. Monsoon will only arrive after 27 June.
3. Majority of rain will occur, while Monsoon will start to return.
4. Good rains will occur in Eastern and Western India.
5. Major rains in the period between August 15 to August 30.
What was the impact of these predictions?
Impact of predictions by Meteorology Department:
1. Prediction of drought created panic like situation all over India;
2. Price of commodities, especially food grains and oil seeds started to touch new heights;
3. Hoarders of these commodities became active creating scarcity like situation;
4. Farmers either did not made any preparations for sowing or if made some sowing, it was made in the months of June and July;
5. Crisis management plan to face the so called drought was implemented in at least 13 states of India;
6. All the states, especially of Western India made huge preparations to face the so called drought. For example, only Gujarat demanded 1,86,734 millions, a mind boggling figure, from the Central Government for facing the drought;
7. Some states resorted to unusual means to tackle the crisis of drought, e.g. State of Karnataka spent 170 Millions in worshiping Rain God to avoid the so called drought;
8. Four states officially declared themselves in the grip of drought;
9. Funnily, our brethren in the field of astrology also were swayed by the predictions made by the Meteorology Department. They also started to hum the same tune. In those days, when we heard a very famous astrologers telling media that there will be acute drought in North Western India, It became very difficult for us to hide my grump and disdain.
Impact of predictions by the team headed by Āchary Kalki Krishna:
As usual, no one took cognizance of the predictions. For obvious reasons, no one takes seriously the predictions made by astrologers on mundane affairs, except their entertainment or at best curiosity value.
What actually happened?
1. Very meager rains in June and July. All the sowing made in this period, heeding the advices of Meteorology Department got wasted. Very depressing for the farmers;
2. Just when, Meteorology Department started to clap seeing that their drought predictions have become true, rain Gods thundered and water started to pour from the sky in the month of August;
3. As predicted by the team headed by Āchary Kalki Krishna, majority of rains arrived in the period August 15 to August 30. Actually, Hindustan times dated August 30 reported August this year to be second wettest August in 12 years;
4. Beyond all expectations and calculations, returning Monsoon, as already predicted by that team, made a lot of rains, surprising all and sundry;
5. Out of 36 meteorological sub divisions of India, 23 recorded normal or more than normal rains. No sub division reported highly deficient rains;
6. A lot of States, which were ready to face the drought, were caught in surprise by this out-pour;
7. Flood like situations happened in many states, especially from Western India, in which acute drought was predicted;
8. Most pathetic condition was in Gujarat and Rajasthan, where highest rains in the last decade were recorded. They were caught off guard. Many lives were gone. A lot of property and assets were destroyed. In many areas, military has to be enforced to handle calamities and to undertake rescue operations;
9. There were no preparations for late sowing. All the water went into empty fields. Farmers are repenting for heeding the advice of Meteorology Department;
10. While rates of consumer goods were gone high in the expectation of acute drought, now there is excuse of late rains, no sowing by farmers to keep the rates at high level;
Against this backdrop, we want to question all the think tanks of India, had such type of predictions have been made by an Astrologer, what would have been treatment of society with him?
We want to reiterate here that Astrology is a science, just like other sciences. Just give it some space; and also some support, so that it could come out of cheats, frauds and imposters. It is a full time profession, just like other professions. If you approach a person, who is pursuing astrology as a hobby or pastime, what will you get is only half baked knowledge and nothing else.
Before concluding this post, we want to compare the performance of above two:
Performance of ‘Meteorology Department’ of ‘Government of India’:
Times of India reports that predictions of ‘Meteorology Department’ for the years 1994 to 2009 have been analyzed and all have been found wrong. Hindustan Times reports that in the blast 25 years, its predictions has gone wrong almost half the time. And this dismal position is only when it shamelessly revises it predictions innumerable times, every year.
Performance of the team headed by Āchary Kalki Krishna:
Since 2002, working on the dates for arrival of Monsoon is being done and results are always better than those provided by Meteorology Department. In majority of cases, there was not a variance of more than two days. Even, deadly floods in Kosi River flowing in the Bihar State were clearly predicted. It was only this time that they tried to give sanctity to these predictions by their prior release to the media.
However, they are still lacking in providing place specific quantum of rains, as their predictions are not getting desired results on this test.
What is way out:
The Government of India and all the concerned departments should awake to the grim realty on this front and should take help of all the serious and professional astrologers, who are doing serious research in the area of Monsoon prediction.
For best predictions on any subject,
