According to Vedic Principals, world consists of Agni i.e., fire or heat and Soma (Varun) i.e. water, 12 forms of Sun (Surya – aditya ) and is the soul of all for those are being and for those who aren’t living being.

Nature controls by Indra who is most powerful god and who kills Vritra, the symbol of cloud to free waters. Vritra means one who covers and is derived from the root vri, to cover.  According to R.R.M. Roy the main force of expansion in the Vedic cosmology is Indra,

and his chief adversary, the main force of contraction, is Vritra and Maruts are Indra’s associates.

Vedic seers pray boldly to these natural forces and aspects for bestowing plenty and prosperity on them.

According to Rig-veda the water (‘APAH’ ) as a part of human environment occurs in five forms:

1. Rain water (Divyah)
2. Natural spring (Sravanti)
3. Wells and canals (Khanitrimah)
4. Lakes (Svayamjah)
5. Rivers (Samudrarthah)

It is the essential consituent of the universe and is at the basis of all the activity of the creation.

In sankhya philosophy prakrti is comprised of eight elements: earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect and ego.

It is characterized by the three gunas: sattva, rajas and tamas. prakṛti is female while purusa is male.

This way we can understand how vedas has presented Prakarti in scriptural form and how 5 elemental properties are binds with nature, we see patterns in weather.

For understanding nature and its impacts wrt earth one must be expert in observing Astronomical principals occurring or triggering in above our sky just to see how these alignments and relations have Direct/Indirect relations with the earth.

for e.g Many people says Planetary movements have no impact on Mundane events occurring on earth- My Question to them, if it is the reality and the only reason than why during the eclipses we see high tides, Heavy Rainfall soon after Eclipses within a day or in week,

why we observe Sudden weather changes in atmospheres, why Sand storms hits, why Rain storms occurs, why cyclones near coastal areas triggers during eclipses and many a time why we observe certain seismic activities soon after eclipses.

Why most of the mudane events occurs after retrogression phases of slow moving planets. why fiery and watery trine conjunctions produces Cyclonic or Supernova like explosions in both ground and in space.

Let me give you a simple Example how vedic seers observed Factors for Electric charge production in the Clouds during vedic periods:

Electric charge and Mechanism of Rainfall and Clouds formations based on Vedic Meteorology

Now question is What actually is natural electric charge ?

In simpler language Mechanism by which the Apah (Moisture based water i.e form of water in air (Vayu)) undergo in the clouds produces Vidyut (electric charge) and according to modern Meteorologist during occurrence of

very violent motions within a large cloud produces Electrical charge. When two substances are in violent motion with respect to each other, the parts are often found to be electrically charged, thus reason for producing lighting and heavy rain.

According to Vedic Meteorologists all sorts of clouds have no tendencies to produces electrical charges only the clouds formed via vapours evaporated by the radiation heating from the sun become electrically charged.Reason waters on being evaporized by radiation

heating from the sun get electrically charged that’s why we called Apah.
Further far better explanation has Been clearly mentioned in Atharveda :

” Because you are sent forth (Evaporized) by the Varuna (Radiation heating from the sun) and you have condensed so well.

Indra ( Electrical Charge) possess you, you are, there fore called Apah ( Charged clouds) “When these Apah set to move violently are called Pravatas (floating clouds). Since the electrical charge is produced in the floating clouds ( Pravatas), vedic seers named as Pravatonapat

In Rig Veda further references are mentioned as: O the Daughter of floating clouds, the electrical charge ! let me salute you and your forms – Hetu/Agneya or Negative charge as well as Vapu/Somiya or positive Charge.

We know your residence which are Apah. Hiding therein. You act as Nucleus for gathering clouds, From all these explanation it is easy to conclude why Vedic Seers Called the electrical charge produced in the clouds formed from vapours evaporated by radiation heating from the sun

as Indra. Reason is, Here Indra is acting as representative from the sun to act as charge producing agent in moving clouds to produce heavy rains. This is the only reason why lord Indra called as Rain God since from vedic era and in modern language it is the most important

physical force required for the heavy rain for producing thundering at same time because of its charging ability and sometime it is act as main factor for triggering heavy earthquakes when eclipses triggers in Indra and Varuna Mandala Nakashtras.

I Hope this will helps to understand why Seers were pure in sync with nature for understanding deeper meaning of nature occurring in space and sky as well.
