Amazing Truths Of The World Part-I
The Ancient thinkers of India were not only Greatest Scientists and
mathematicians, but also deeply religious, esteemed saints of their times. While it may surprise some to think of religious
sages as mundane scientists, the Indian view is that religion (universal) and science are but two sides of the same coin -
in short…semantics. Whether one calls a natural phenomena wind or the wind god - Vayu - one is speaking of the same
thing. Yet it seems that having a spiritual foundation not only brought out important discoveries still in use today, but
these discoveries also were helpful without causing harm or destruction like toadys science is doing to environment,living
beings & mother earth. In fact this article will cite the origins of some amazing and here-to-for mis-credited discoveries
as coming from India. Some examples include so-called Arabic numerals, the concept of the zero, so-called Pythagorean theory,
surgery and more. It may seem astonishing, but the ancient texts are there to show the thinking and writing of these great
Indian thinkers. Why is India not credited? It seems that in the West we have a condescending, Euro- or Greco-centric view
that civilizations older than Greece were uncivilized barbarians.But I digress. The point is that westerners have been brought
up for decades incorrectly viewing ancient civilizations as intellectually and culturally inferior to modern man .
So
it is no surprise to be surprised in learning some of the greatest discoveries not only came from India, but from ancient
India. It shakes the very foundations of prejudicial beliefs. Here are but a few examples of India's enlightened thinkers.
Cosmology
& Psychology
According to India's ancient texts, around 3000 BCE sage Kapil founded both cosmology and psychology.
He shed light on the Soul, the subtle elements of matter and creation. His main idea was that essential nature (prakrti) comes
from the eternal (purusha) to develop all of creation. No deeper a view of the cosmos has ever been developed. Further, his
philosophy of Sankhya philosophy also covered the secret levels of the psyche, including mind, intellect and ego, and how
they relate to the Soul or Atma. Maharishi Patanjali again showed the great path to perfection of the human mind & codified
it in his works in which he mentions the mind boggling perfections/Siddhis & knowledge man can achieve by following
the laws of the universe.
Medicine (Ayurveda), Aviation
Around 800 BCE Sage Bharadwaj, was both the
father of modern medicine, teaching Ayurveda, and also the developer of aviation technology. He wrote the Yantra Sarvasva,
which covers astonishing discoveries in aviation and space sciences, and flying machines - well before Leonardo DaVinchi's
time. Some of his flying machines were reported to fly around the earth, from the earth to other planets, and between universes.
His designs and descriptions have left a huge impression on modern-day aviation engineers. He also discussed how to make these
flying machines invisible by using sun and wind force. There are much more fascinating insights discovered by sage Bharadwaj.
Medicine, Surgery, paediatrics, gynecology. Anatomy,
physiology, Pharmacology, Embryology, Blood circulation
Around
this era and through 400 BCE many great developments occurred. In the field of medicine (Ayurveda), sage Divodasa Dhanwantari
developed the school of surgery; Rishi Kashyap developed the specialized fields of pediatrics and gynecology. Lord Atreya,
author of the one of the main Ayurvedic texts, the Charak Samhita, classified the principles of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology,
embryology, blood circulation and more. He discussed how to heal thousands of diseases, many of which modern science still
has no answer. Along with herbs, diet and lifestyle, Atreya showed a correlation between mind, body, spirit and ethics. He
outlined a charter of ethics centuries before the Hippocratic oath. Sage Thirumular lived for hundreds of years by using the
following the path of yoga & ayurveda without getting any disease & prolonging his life for hundreds of years. continued...........
