الوصف: The monsoon on the Indian subcontinent remains a seasonal occurrence that all inhabitants of the subcontinent desire. Modern scientific knowledge of methods of rain forecasting has originated recently. However, traditional indigenous wisdom is peculiar to our country. In the past, India had a magnificent scientific and technical legacy. Even today, it is common that village astrologers (pandits) are right in a surprisingly high percentage of their rain predictions. Scientists and local traditional farmers have a long history of astronomical research and treatises that predict rainfall. They use different methods to forecast rainfall conditions based on numerous panchangs, almanac bio-indicators (Bhoum method), non-bio-indicators (Antariksh method), and predict the likely behavior of climate in the planting season. Rainfall forecasting also aids in the planning of operations by agriculturists, builders, water supply engineers, and others. All mortals from the subcontinent have looked at it from their own perspective, and it continues to be the subject of intense multi-dimensional engagement. The monsoon has provided a means of life for numerous civilizations while also shaping the drainages and palaeo-geography of the subcontinent. The objective of this article is to document some indigenous knowledge for forecasting climate and environmental dynamics towards community resilience.

الوصف: Sage Varahmihir’s Hora Shastra was compiled on a scientific basis approximately 2000 years ago. Several researchers have developed this and efforts have been made to bring it closer in accuracy in astrology from the prediction point of view. In predictive astrology, initially, the Rasi, forming one-twelfth part of the ecliptic, was the only basis used. As it was found insufficient, Nakshatra 130.20’ concept came in to use as the prime factor of Hora Shastra. Later the Nakshatrapada of 3°.20’ was incorporated by researchers since critical analysis failed by using Nakshatra130.20’, which matches the span of Navamsha. Different divisional methods (vargas) like Hora, Drekkana, etc up to ten such division were developed by many brilliant researchers, which is part of the development of Hora Shastra. South Indian astrologers declared that Navamsha method is the most realistic and closest in delineation amongst all the divisional charts, after thousands of experiments with divisional charts. Because of their firm faith in the Navamsha system, the South Indian astrologers are in the forefront. This paper also examines the importance of Navamsha chart and hidden facts of our life.

الوصف: Navamsha has very high importance in Vedic Astrology. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra while analysing Shotasha Varga (16 divisions of the Rasi Chart) states that Navamsha Chart is the most important one, after the Rasi Chart. While calculating the vimshopaka bala , the Navamsha chart is considered in all the vargas. Rasi Chart gets the maximum points of strength in the calculation and the next divisional chart is the Navamsha Chart. This indicates the position of planets in the Navamsha chart which is very important in any type of predictions. Every astrologer and the books of astrology stress the use of Navamsha. Navamsha is added in every horoscope. Normally it remains over looked and often remains just a decorative chart. Therefore, budding astrologers are at a loss to understand the use of Navamsha. Navamsha chart is of tremendous predictive use. Profound astrologers even say that a prediction given without considering Navamsha is like committing a crime. Although navamsha is seen to predict marriage, this is not the only the use of Navamsha. In fact it has been given more weight than even the birth chart by Parashara. It is a complete chart to assess the strength of planets. It is called the perpetual chart. It helps in confirmation of any promise of birth chart. The understanding of dasha results are finetuned with the help of Navamsha. The religious devotion is also seen from Navamsha.

الوصف: Sarvatobhadra Chakra is a tool used as a part of Transit of Planets. The term Sarvatobhadra means overall auspiciousness. Sarva - overall, Bhadra - auspiciousness. It is taken from the factors of Vedic astrology for 28 Nakshatras, 50 Nama Akshara’s in Sanskrit, 12 Rasis, 30 Titihis for Krishna baksha and Suklabaksha, 7week days. The focus of SBC main stream is planetary analysis. It can be used forVariety of planetary analysis. It can be used for natal horoscope and Dasa analysis. The SBC usedthe Nakshatra to draw the minute predictions, making a microscopic study of the native chart. It is one of the most ancient methods of prediction, as it considers Abhijit Nakshatra. Abhijit Nakshatra is not in consideration under the other modern or later developed methods of Prediction.Veda means a special relationship between Graha in motion & other celestial bodies, which are fixed in the SBC of the native. Aspect by Graha play an important role in influencing human life, nations, and market fluctuations in commerce, trade, industries, and agricultural products. In Navamsa Veda every Nakshatra has 4 padas, for all the 28 Nakshatras, including Abhijit, have 112 Navamasa in SBC. Graha cause Veda of these Navamsa, by their opposite (front) direction, for example a Graha in 1stPada of Krittika will cause Veda of 4thPada of Sravana, including Pada’s vowels, consonants and Nakshatra. This Navamsa Veda gives strong results when the Navamsa Rasi has also Veda.

الوصف: Man born in the earth, in his life period, used everything created by nature according to his desire, either by reforming them or not reforming them. Also, right from the beginning, he has made developments for somethings in nature and brought few things in the nature in a new shape by destruction. Nature has attained evolution either by natural means or by artificial means by the mankind for his needs. As long as the sun family and mankind exit.This will continue. The rituals and customs are also subjected to this evolution. Traditionally whatever discovered by the mankind and as per the circumstances, the Astrological science has been improved without reforming its taproot. This astrological science has many subsects within it. But prediction in all the subsects of astrology is given by position of Sun, Moon other five planets, and Ragu, Ketu. To find out when and where the obstacles will come in the life time, how to cross over, what is the karma in this birth, how to handle this karma carefully, what are the responsibilities in this birth, Dimba Chakra is helpful by considering the Rasi Chart as body and by the help of Planets and position order of the stars.

Ventral median carina of telson vesicle weakly granular (Fig. 19E) as opposed to moderately granular in I. amboli and strongly granular in I. tamhini. 8. Spiniform granules of promedian carina of pedipalp patella weakly developed as opposed to moderately developed in I. tamhini, I. amboli, I. sankeriensis and I. kovariki, and strongly developed in I. thurstoni (Figs 24–25). For comparisons of I. nakshatra sp. nov. with I. wayanadensis sp. nov., described below, refer to the diagnosis section of the latter. Etymology The species epithet is a noun in apposition, derived from the Kannad word ‘nakshatra’ (= ‘star’). It refers to the star-shaped fort named ‘Manjarabad’, very close to the type locality. The fort was built in 1792 by Tipu Sultan, the then ruler of Mysore, using French military architects. The sultan wanted to build a highway between Mangalore and Coorg for his expansion programs. As he was allied with the French at that time against the British, he sought the help of French engineers to build this fort in European style.

Distribution, habitat and ecology (Figs 12, 26) Isometrus nakshatra sp. nov. is only known from its type locality, Kadmane Tea Estate, Sakleshpur, Hassan District, Karnataka State, India. Specimens were collected from undergrowth and tree bark in a small patch of disturbed evergreen forest on a hill slope adjacent to the crest line of the WG. Unlike other species of Isometrus from India, this new species was also observed in shrubby undergrowth along with tree bark. The forest patch here is disturbed and fragmented due to the infrastructure of the Kadmane tea factory and large scale agriculture (tea, coffee and pepper plantations). The ecology of the new species is congruent with that of bark scorpions.

الوصف: Vedic astrology which is one of the most important study in India. Since ancient times, in India rituals were suggested as per the planets and other cosmic influences. Planets have the influence at cell level, eukaryotic, prokaryotic as well as viruses. Beside the concept of nakshatra tree, in this paper emphasis is given on the role of microorganisms in astrology. As a part of ritual, we are using the microbial products or processes. Microorganisms are also mentioned in Vedas. Biomineralization derived crystals has been suggested for healing practices. Meteroite-microbial interaction has also been reported which suggests extra-terrestrial existence of microorganisms.
