There is a news item stating that the Bhavishya Purna predicted the onslaught of the Floods in Uttarakhand and the near destruction of Kedarnath Temple(the Temple ,remains more or less in tact though).
This follows a set pattern.
An event occus.
People come up and say that this has been predicted in the Kalki Purana, Bhavishya(means Future) Purana,Vishnu Purana and the like.
The detractors say that if the references are there, people should have made it Public before the event and not after it had taken place,
Seems to be valid argument.
The problem is who would believe if such things were informed in advance..
Take the case of Pushpaka Vimana, a sort of Flying Chariot, used by Ravana to abduct Sita.
Or the assertion in the Kalki Purana that children of around 9 to 10 years would conceive.
That men would live from the earnings of a woman.
Men would become closer to their wife’s parents and distance themselves away from their parents.
Merit would not be the criterion in the Society but Money.
Power would belong to the Rich.
Women would lust after men openly.
Men would look at even their daughter with lecherous intent.
Teachers would elope with students.
Men would marry older women.
Children would not be born out of Intercourse.
Children would not be conceived and nurtured in the womb.
Children would be born in a Vessel.
Lamps would burn upside down.
Unseasonable floods, and change of Seasons would occur.
That the Dog Star days are accurately predicted when the Summer heat is at its fiercest.(Dog Star is Sirius).
That there are only Nine planets,Pluto and Neptune are Chaya Grahas,, not among the Planets.
Now Scientists say that Neptune/Plato can not really be called planets,after redefining what a Planet is.
There is a Mysterious energy which one can not perceive and it would drive the Universe.
That the Universe has no limitations, it expands and we can perceive what we can for we are limited.
There are particles that travel faster than Light.
Man will attempt to find the Ultimate Matter, would fail , find another fundamental Unit((CERN says exactly this on God Particle)
Very little will be revealed or known about the Gravitational Force and we will never comprehend it in full, which is the case even now.
Discoveries made earlier my Man will be reversed., theories will change.
1. Venus and Rain: Tamil literature and Sanskrit literature associate Venus with the rains. Astronomers and meteorologists will discover that Venus has a link with the rains in future. If Venus goes towards south, the world will have a drought (going south is an astrological jargon to denote appearing towards south). The Vedas and Tamil literature talk about twelve year long droughts. So the scientists will find out that the position of Venus has an impact on world’s weather.
We know that the sun has a big role in the growth of plants. We read plants make food by photosynthesis using sun light. But Sanskrit literature is very clear and loud in saying moon’s rays give energy to the plants. So biologists will find out soon the link between the moon and the plants. But Hindus never denied Sun’s role.
Sanskrit Navagraha Stotras (hymns on nine heavenly bodies) gives the relationship between the planets. Hindus have already found out that Jupiter is the largest and heaviest planet and named it GURU appropriately. Guru means leader, teacher and heavy in Sanskrit. Mars is called Red planet by Tamil and Sanskrit poets. Mars is already confirmed red by scientists. Mars is called Bhumi Puthra/ son of earth. Scientists also believe Mars may have water and life.
Saturn is called a black planet by Sangam Tamil poets and Sanskrit poets (Maim meen in Tamil and Neela in Sanskrit). Saturn will be confirmed black by scientists in future. It is also called chaya puthra (son of shadow as well as son of sun). Hindus said that Saturn has a son called Manthi. It corresponds to the ring (Mantle) around it.
Time is Cyclic and Not Linear.

In recent years physicists have had to address the interplay of consciousness and the physical world. In Quantum Physics much has been made over Bell’s Theorem. The implications of this theorem and the experimental findings that flow from it are staggering. They force us to consider that the entire notion of a purely objective world is in conflict not only with the theory of quantum mechanics, but with the facts drawn from actual experiments. These findings point insistently to a profound interaction between conscious mental activity and the physical world itself.
The Rishi’s vision
The Rishi’s vision of a world in which man participates in a seamless existence, indivisibly united with the universe around him, resonates through a discovery called “BELL’S THEOREM”. This discovery, first proposed in 1964 by the physicist John S. Bell was first confirmed by experiment in 1972 by Professor John Clauser at Berkley. It is an almost unbelievable result – unbelievable because the logical mind has great difficulty in comprehending how it can be true. Its impact on the physics community has been enormous. Professor Henry Stapp, a physicist at Berkley and an authority on the implications of Bell’s Theorem, …

When predictions are made at a time when they look far-fetched , they are dismissed as Myths.
When it is said after the incident, it is ridiculed saying that it could have been said earlier.
I have quoted some predictions that has come true and some yet to be proved.
Please read the Puranas to find what is said.
The Puransa are vast and these subjects are not dealt with in a separate chapters, except in some case; they are interspersed throughout the Puranas and the Atharva Veda.
To find more on the Occult, one may refer the Atharva Veda and the Book the Shakti and Shakta by Sir John Woodroffe.

It is true that our scriptures contain references about Badrinath becoming inaccessible,” says BD Singh, CEO of the Badri-Kedar temple committee, although he denies any such prophecy about Kedarnath. “In the Sanath Samhita, it is mentioned that when the arm of the Narasingha idol at Joshimath falls off and the mountains of Jay and Vijay near Vishnuprayag, making the present shrine of Badrinath inaccessible, the worship of Lord Vishnu as Badrinath will begin at Bhavishya Badri near Joshimath.”
Great research..
All shall be true…
