Since Long people have attempting to induce rain by a veriety of methods such as rain dance, singing songs of rain, offering prayers, sacrificing men or animals, lighting of fires, firing of canons, and production of electric discharges by kites, but none of these methods stands to the test of time and so by and by receded to the background and went out of vogue. In the modern times also meteorologists are seeking the possibility of producing rain from super-cooled clouds sometime by introducing solid carbondioxide (dry ice) and silver iodide as a cloud seeding material by air plane, sometime by sending the smoke of silver-iodide from the ground itself with the help of ground generators or surface burners. This idea was conceived from the Indian tradition of performing Yajnas. The technique of seeding clouds with the help of surface burners is very effective, having only one drawback that one has to rely on the air currents to carry the smoke up into the atmosphere. To overcome this problem the smoke is going to be dispersed from surface burners in aircraft.

India is the country in the world who invented the system of agriculture first of all on this globe. Agriculture is based upon timely rains. So the science of Rainmaking was developed in India during the Vedic period itself when the invention of agriculture took place. The rain in ancient India used to be induced as per requirement of the people or the agriculture with the help of Yajnas, or in crude sense, by burning a particular type of herbal material in fire conducive to rainfall. The smoke of burnt herbal material when carried by air currents into the atmosphere induced rains. In view of the fact that no control over transport of the smoke into atmosphere can be exercised, and no reliable estimate of the smoke reaching into upper spheres is possible, the problem seemed to have overcome by dispersing the smoke from surface burners in aircraft as has been revealed in the Brihadvimanasastra , an ancient Indian treatise on the science of aeronautics. Airplanes were equipped with the Dhumodgama or Dhumaprasarana instruments to disperse the smoke in the atmosphere.

RAINMAKER'S EFFORTS

Thus having taken cues of rainmaking with the help of Yajna from the Vedas, Upavedas, Vedangas and Dayananda's works and having acquired the knowledge of the properties of the matter as described therein, the Rainmaker all set, some 35 years ago, to perform Yajnas in a particular direction. It was to see the change of weather, change of airflow in terms of direction and speed, to induce rains and to prevent the same, to remove famines, to prevent deluges, diseases and to beat the pollution. The experimental Yajnas were performed strictly in conformity or in tune with the Vedic principles and surprisingly enough everything was witnessed taking place actually which was considered sometime ago a fallacy or mythology.

In continuation of his research, the rainmaker conducted over two hundred successful Rain-experiments in different parts of Indian sub-continent including the Thar desert called Ran of Kaccha to stimulate rains. And over 100 successful Anti-rain experiments to ward off the rains including the state of Agartala falling in the area of highest rainfall. During the course, the rainmaker has also experimented to make the winds change their direction and speed.

Get Rain and get rid of scarcity of water

This thrilling idea of rainmaking or anti-rain with the help of Yajna is not only cherished by the Vedic Science Foundation or the Rainmaker, but modern scientists have also reached to some nonetheless thrilling conclusions, such as (1) the better effectiveness of silver-iodide as a cloud seeding material when introduced in the sky in the form of smoke from the ground with the help of surface burners or ground generators than when delivered by airplane. (See Herbert Riehl : Introduction to the atmosphere, 3rd Ed., McGraw-Hill Kogakusha Limited, 1965, P. 115).

(2) Burning sugar cane in eastern Australia is thought to have reduced precipitation near the burning areas through over-seeding. ((See Herbert Riehl : Introduction to the atmosphere, 3rd Ed., McGraw-Hill Kogakusha Limited, 1965, P. 111).

These conclusions of modern meteorologists also validate the authenticity of the idea of rainmaking and anti-rain with the help of Yajna.

To sum up, it can unhesitatingly and safely be said that the Vedic science of Yajna is based on concrete and scientific ideas which needs to be revived and revitalized.

Through these lines the we would like to invite the attention of the people in the world to come forward to help the Foundation eradicate the scarcity of water of water and to come over the excess rain by conducting Rainmaking and Anti-rain operations as the need be in their respective regions of the Globe.
