"Gravitational Pull of Sun, Moon and Planets and Major EarthQuake Prediction"
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I, Santosh Phadnis, software professional and (philosopher) have re-searched the 
  co-relation between the planetory positions & Major Earthquakes. 
  I was inspired to do this search after the 1993 Latur quake.
  Famous Astrologer Respected Mr. B.V.Raman from Bangalore,India. He used to mention that 
  quakes can be predicted using "Astrology' as ancient Rishis have mentioned about this;
  but people and scientists did not listen to him as somehow he could not give 
  any scientific reason behind it and scientists rejected the very foundation 
  that "Planets can cause EarthQuakes".
  When I contacted him before 1998 ,about this subject, he asked me to do more research 
  on this and alert people if I can. So my regards to late Mr. B.V.Raman for inspiration.
  
  Till now, world has paid very heavy price with millions of lives lost due to
  Major quakes and Tsunamis occuring after many of the quakes. The last such 
  quakes were on 26th Dec. 2004 , 28th March 2005, 24th July 2005 in Indonesia and nearby sea area.
  This theory suggests that more major quakes are likely around 14th Jan. 2006
  and around 13th to 28th Feb. 2006.
  
  So I , Santosh Phadnis, is giving my theory for publishing to TIME magazine . 
  This theory can be used by any person, research institute OR Government of India or by any Govt. 
  on Earth in future ; with condition that no one should take patent of it for making money or 
  for any political use.
  
  This theory can give accurate answers if super computer is used to search more
  prefect co-relations plus if scientific instruments are used to get seismic data and 
  then co-relation can give more perfect answers. 
  
  Please note that there can be some other quakes which do not occur as per this theory 
  and it is more due to very active seismic zone ( like Japan's quakes ).
  
  I do my calculations using "Panchang" (Astrological almanac) & simple calculator
  only & I do not have any seismic data available ( except when Major quake news
  are published on reliable net sources in U.S  / Indian newspapers ).
  
  I started tracking of Major quakes & planetory positions , it's patterns
  and got the initial idea in year 2001 that there is a specific pattern. 
  After that I searched out the scientific reason behind it last year, 2004.
  With latest Quakes in Dec. 2004 in Indonesia supporting my theory , I am sure that this theory
  will work in near future centuries. Also as till then present tectonic
  plates configuration on Earth is similar. 
  Major Earthquakes can be predicted in advance for any month & year with 
  4 to 8 days error margin.
  Please note that it is still very difficult to predict "the place of earthquake/s "
  as tectonic plates and it's movements are complicated , 
  This theory can give "most likely lattitudes" only and more research is needed for 
  perfection. Generally Major Quakes occur in 
  quake-prone areas ( example California, U.S.A )  or where tectonic faults have 
  stress accumulated ( example Indonesia & region ) or where many tectonic plates 
  meet ( example Japan ) . 
  
  Now about this theory - 
  All Planets' combined gravitaional pull when they are closest to Earth is maximum 
  1.63% of Moon's gravitational pull on Earth. Out of those only 4 planets play 
  "important" role when gravitational pull is taken into account. They are Jupiter 
  0.963% , Venus 0.569% and Saturn 0.069% , Mars 0.020%  ; of gravitational 
  pull (when compared to Moon's gravitational pull) . 
  Two very important additional factors are, Sun & Moon's gravitational force affect
  Earth. Earth comes closest to Sun every year in first week of January . 
  Also full moon day, no moon day  & Chaturthi days have more or angular 
  gravitational pull by Moon. Tidal effect also supports quake activity about which
  Russian scientists are doing research. Moon's closest approach to Earth also 
  matters as it exerts more gravitational force than normal.
  
  These gravitational effects triggers the quakes on Earth (provided the other 
  parameters are active in quake-prone areas like tectonic pressure , earlier quakes 
  , how many years passed to earlier quakes in that region etc) .  This theory can 
  also predict the possible R. scale of quakes depending on the angles of planets & 
  their proximity (closest approach) to earth , any oppositions to each other , 
  Moon's position with respect to Sun etc. and with use of some past data for that area.
  
  Now the Major quakes have happened when Sun, Moon and Planets were in 3 axis 
  positions.  
  This way , Sun, Moon, Earth , Jupiter , Venus , Saturn ,  Mars
  need to form 3 axis pattern . 
  Also atleast one or more of the 3 important planets must be closer to Earth by 
  Distance. This way we can calculate the gravitational pull by these planets.
  Also take into account the pattern ( angles made by planets ).
  
  I will give few Example of Major Quakes which occured as exactly as theory 
  could have predicted (if it would have been developed earlier, unfortunately theory 
  was not developed that time ! ) -> 
  30th Sep. 1993 Latur, in Maharashtra quake (on Anant Chaturdashi day), India ,
  26th Jan  2001 major quake ( dwitiya day after no moon) in Bhuj in Gujarat, India,
  
  26th Dec. 2004 (full moon day) Severe Quake of 9.1 R.scale in Indonesia ,
                 ( Sun, full Moon and Saturn are in 1st axis, Jupiter in second axis approx. 90  
                   degrees from Sun, Venus and Mars in 3rd axis approx. 30 degrees away from Sun.)
                 This was also near 1st week of Jan. !
  
  28th Mar. 2005 (chaturthy day after full noon) quake in Indonesia ( Jupiter closest
                  to Earth and Saturn approx. at right angle, Mars is forming 3rd axis).

  24th July 2005 (chaturthy day after full noon) quake near Nicobar Island (undersea)
                 ( Sun and Saturn on one axis, Jupiter and Mars on second , Moon and 
                   Venus on third axis ) ( see chart attached).
  
  You may quickly notice Full Moon day or nearby days with India/Indonesia region
  quakes.
  
  Future Quakes which this theory can predict ( note - location can not be 100% correct ).
  
  Now, I will give example about 14th Jan. 2006 when 2 planets are near closest
  to Earth . They are Venus and Saturn. Other 2 i.e Jupiter & Mars are almost near at right
  angle from Saturn and they are exactly opposite to each other.
  These Planets will exert around 1.2% of gravitational pull of Moon's average pull 
  which is highest if compared to many years in Jan. month ,when Earth is closest 
  to Sun. This will result in most deadly quake of 8 to 9.5 R. scale quake/s on 
  Earth on 14th Jan.2006 or nearby 4 days or on 13th Feb. 2006. Please note that predicting 
  location of Earthquake is still difficult & I have tried to check for it to some extent .
  ( note - location can not be 100% correct ).

  8th  Jan. 2006 or around days ( most likly Japan region, east Russia, China region  ) 
  
  *** 14th Jan. 2006 and around days or around *** 13th Feb. 2006 (most likelt Indonesia,
  India region that is 8 degrees from north of equator to 28 degrees on earth ) 
  Now these quakes may or may NOT generate Tsunami waves . It is difficult to predict Tsunami.
  But people can stay 2 to 3 kms away from sea shore on 14th Jan. 2006 and also stay alert 
  for any major quake of 8 to 9.5 R.scale .
  
  *** 27th Jan. to 31st Jan. 2006 OR 26th Feb. to 2nd March 2006 - ( most likely 
  California region & Mexico / Gulf region ) - Now these quakes may or may not 
  generate Tsunami waves . It is difficult to predict Tsunami.
  
  Here take example of 26th Dec. 2004 - Sun & Moon were on opposites with Saturn 
  quite closer to Earth, Jupiter was around right angle . Mars & Venus were near
  Sun within 30 degrees angle. It was a full moon day and Earth was quite closer 
  to Sun as Jan. month was 6 days away. Planets were exerting approx. 0.7% 
  gravitational pull of Moon's average gravitational pull .
  Moon added a lot in it , also with tidal effect and tectonic pressure around 
  Indonesia and India plates was very high.
  All things combined it gave 9.1 R. scale quake which actually made Earth wobble
  a bit.
  
  **With above examples it is clear that planet's pull around 14th Jan. 2006 is quite
  higher than on 26th Dec. 2004 ! It is more likely to result into catastrophic earthquake
  and people need to be ALER around 14th Jan.2006 & 
  also around 13th Feb.2006 ? ( similar but little less powerful quake likely in Feb.) .
  
  
  Around month May 2006 Jupiter is closer to Earth, Saturn is nearly right angle and
  Mars nearby to it.  Sun is 8 degrees to the North of Equator ; scientists may please 
  check by applying my theory and whether it may give major quake ?! 
  
  ( When God has designed this world , He has beautifully kept the ways to find
    about it's every step,  as world runs more perfectly than any machine ! It 
    is indeed a machine created for all souls to learn more towards self realization.
    And hence Human race found the science of all things and search goes on ! 
    Smallest of things do change the world mysteriously . Same is true for small 
    gravitational pull by Planets, finally create a great effect. )
