Over the past forty or more years, K.N. Rao has taken on the
task of researching the classical texts of Jyotish and testing
the principles in modern times. In this way, he has kept alive
many of the rarely used predictive systems, and demonstrated,
in a scientific manner, their incredible accuracy and validity.
One area of research that has become his specialty is weather
forecasting. Over the years many of his predictions about the
timing of earthquakes, drought, and climate change have been
accurate. For instance, on January 27, 2001 the Deccan Chronicle
reported, "It seems that that quake was fated. Astrologer
K.N. Rao author of the best selling, Astrology, Destiny,
and the Wheel of Time, in his forecast for 2001 had predicted
the country would face crippling natural calamities in the first
fortnight of January and also particularly after March. Rao
was unfortunately correct."
Most recently Rao predicted on TV (AAJ TAK channel), in June
2006, that there would be snow fall and snow storms in February
2007, due to the Sun-Saturn opposition, which reached its climax
in mid February. This again proved correct. India
eNews reported that, "Many places in India's northern
and eastern regions received rain for the fourth consecutive
day Tuesday (Feb 13th) while it snowed in hilly areas..Simla
was under deep snow after it received the heaviest spell of
snowfall for February Sunday since 1990." K.N. Rao
was invited back on TV and was shown side by side with the weather
forecaster discussing Simla's snowfall and proving the validity
of his prediction.
Rao is one of the few astrologers defending astrology before
the scientific community, which is a noble work that he receives
criticism for. "Intelligent and sensitive astrologers
must not pay any attention to the criticism of astrology by
irrational scientists and ignorant astronomers. The rishi tradition
must be kept alive," he says. For more info see Rao's
article, "Blind
Scientists and Astronomers."
