There are innumerable mind-blowing things and facts about hinduism , which cannot be explained in short. As a Hindu I’m privileged to answer this question and put forth the awesomeness in the religion.The divine Word “OM” and its significance:The word OM (AUM) is the divinely word that is chanted by the rishis of ancient India. It is the power of potency that keeps increasing. When the reverberation stops and the cosmic retention of breath begins, the Universe will stop expanding.For example, take the soap bubble at the end of a ring. If you keep your breath at a particular rhythm through the air tube behind the ring, the soap bubble continues to remain stuck to the ring in front of the air tube. If you exhale then, the bubble gets dislodged from the ring and goes floating in the atmosphere for sometime and finally the bubble breaks into moisture. Likewise, when the cosmic inhalation begins, the Universe will begin to contract just like the soap bubble in the air and finally merge into its source. This cyclic process of creation and dissolution which takes thousands of billions of years will repeat itself periodically at the Will of the Pure Infinite Cosmic Consciousness. This is what our enlightened sages have told us.comparison of the human body with nature:The sages compared the human body with nature and have described that both inside and outside the human body are one and the same. There are five elements in nature.Air, Water, Space, Earth and Fire.Similar to this in human body we haveearth - on which the stands, the legswater - the portion below the abdomen above the thighsfire - The abdominal portionair - the heart and the lungs along with nose( a typical combo of trio air, water & fire)space - Above the headboth face series of disasters & calamities.The concept of disciplining human body:The Hindu saints have mentioned a lot more interesting facts about the yoga, meditation, pranayama etc. The yoga sutras(collection of books) of Pathanjali date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE although the it became prominent only in the 20th century. Through Yoga one can activate the inner power. There are seven chakras or the power points that can be activated to unleash the full potential of one’s through meditation.they are listed from bottom of the body ie from toe to top in an orderly mannermooladhara- controls sense smellswadhishtana - controls sense tastemanipura - controls sense sightanahatha-controls sense touchvishudha-controls sense hearingaajna- it’s the sense that only human possess, the sixth sensesahasrara-it is beyond any our known senses as it is the seventh sense. Through the seventh sense we can possess supreme commanding qualities ever possessed by humans. It gives access to 64 dimensions of the outer world. the known and visible to human eyes are only 2d and 3d.Ancient Hindus have made contributions to the world in the following fields:-1) MathematicsThe invention of “Zero”, without which there would be no Binary system, no Computers and counting would be have been cumbersome.The present day decimal system in use all over the world was developed by Hindu mathematicians between the 1st to 5th century, but was in use in India since 500 BC. Aryabhatta invented the value of PI to four decimal places, namely 3.1416 & the sine table in Trignometry.Centuries later, in 825 CE, the Arab mathematician Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of PI to Hindus.Brahmagupta gave the first rules for dealing with Zero as a number.His 'Brahma-Sphuta-Siddhanta' (628), an astronomical work, was translated into Arabic in Baghdad as 'Sindhind' (c. 771) and had a major impact on Islamic mathematics and astronomy. It's 25 chapters contain several unprecedented mathematical results and laid foundations for algorithms and algebra.It was Baudhyana who discovered the Pythagoras theoram.This theorem is explained in the Book called 'Baudhayana Sulbasutra' (800 BC), one of the oldest books on advanced Mathematics.The actual Shloka in Baudhayana Sulbasutra that describes the Pythagoras theorem is given below:-'dirghasayak sa naya rajjuh parsvamanitiryaDam manicha yatprthagbhutekurutastadubhaya n karoti'Meaning - The diagonal of a rectangle produces by itself both (the areas) produced seperately by it's two sides.In many ways Bhaskara represents the peak of mathematical and astronomical knowledge in the 12th century. He reached an understanding of calculus, astronomy, the number systems, and solving equations, which were not to be achieved anywhere else in the world for several centuries.He wrote 'Bijaganita' a treatise on algebra, in which he derived a cyclic 'Chakravath' method for solving equations of the form ax2 + bx + c = y, which is attributed to William Brouncher (1657).His book 'Lilavati' covers many branches of:-MathematicsArithmaticAlgebraGeometryTrignometryMensurationHis treatise 'Siddhanta Shiromani' on Astronomy contains results on Trignometry and Influential & Differential Calculus which were unknown to the western world.Described Universal Gravitation in his treatise Siddhanta Shiromani8 (1150 CE).Bhaskaracharya describes that the earth attracts all objects in the sky by it's own force towards itself.He further discusses the forces between the celestial bodies using a question:-Where can the celestial bodies fall since they attract each other ?Bodies fall on the earth because it is in the nature of earth to attract bodies, just as it is in the nature of water to flow'. It founded centuries back even before Newton was born.2) MedicineNagarjuna's dedicated research for 12 years produced a lot of discoveries.His medical books - 'Arogyamanjari' and 'Yogasar' are significant contributions to the field of medicine.Acharya Charak has been crowned as the Father of Medicine.His book - 'Charak Samhita' is considered as an encyclopedia of Ayurveda.Charak revealed the basic facts on:-Human AnatomyEmbryologyPharmacologyBlood Circulation andDiseases like - Diabetes, Tuberculosis, Heart Disease etc.He knew the fundamentals of genetics.In the Charaka Samhita, he has described the medicinal qualities and functions of 100000 herbal plants.He has emphasized the influence of diet and activity on mind and body.His ideas on the correlation of spirituality and physical health contributed greatly to diagnostic and curative sciences. His principles, diagnosis and cures retain their potency and truth even today.Ethical character - He prescribed and ethical character for medical practitioners two centuries prior to the Hippocratic oath.Acharya Sushrutha detailed the first every surgery procedures in his 'Sushrutha Samhita' a unique encyclopedia on surgery.He is venerated as the father of Plastic Surgery and the Science of Anesthesia.When surgery was in it's infancy in Europe, Sushrutha was performing Rhinoplasty (restoration of a damaged nose) and other challenging operations.In the Sushrut Samhita, he prescribes treatment for 12 types of fractures and 6 types of dislocations and also details 300 types of operations.The ancient Hindus were pioneers in: 'amputation, caesarian and cranial surgeries'.Sushrutha used 125 types of surgical instruments including:ScalpelsLancetsNeedlesCathers and Rectal SpeculumsAll these tools are the basis of the modern surgical instruments used by surgeons of today.3) AstronomyAryabhatta was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates round it's own axis and revolves round the Sun in it's orbit in space 1000 years before Copernicus published his Heliocentric theory.Aryabhatta siddhanta circulated mainly through Northern India, and through the Sasanian dynasty (224-651) of Iran, also had a profound influence on the development of Islamic Astronomy.Varahmihira's book - 'Panchsiddhant' holds a prominent place in the realm of astronomy.He notes that the moon and other planets are lustrous not because of their own light, but due to the light from the Sun.In the 'Bruhad Samhita' and the 'Bruhad Jatak', he has revealed his discoveries in the fields of:GeographyConstellationScienceBotany andAnimal Scienceadding to this there are also various mentions regarding -The calculation of occurrences of eclipsesDetermination of Earth's circumferenceTheorizing about the theory of gravitationDetermining that sun was a star and determination of number of planets under our solar systemVarahmihira presents cures for various diseases affecting plants and trees.This great rishi-scientist makes significant contributions also to the field of astronomy.4) ScienceAcharya Kanad, is the pioneer expounder of realism, law of causation, and the atomic theory.He has classified all the objects of creation into nine elements, namely:-EarthWaterLightWindEtherTimeSpaceMindSoulHe says, "Every object of creation is made of atoms, which in turn connect with each other to form molecules".His statement announced the atomic theory for the first time ever in the world, 2500 years before John Dalton.Kanad has also described the dimension and motion of atoms and their chemical reactions with each other, without even having a microscope or modern equipments like such.Nagarjuna's dedicated research for 12 years produced maiden discoveries and inventions in the faculties of chemistry and metallurgy.His books - 'Ras Ratnakar', 'Rashrudaya', and 'Rasendramangal' are his unique contributions to Chemistry.Because of his profound scholarliness and versatile knowledge, he was appointed as Chancellor of the World University of Nalanda.5) civil engineeringIndia's urban civilization is traceable to Mohenjodaro and Harappa, now in Pakistan, where planned urban townships existed 5000 years before. From then onwards, the ancient Indian architecture and civil engineering continued to develop and grow. It found manifestation in construction of temples, palaces and forts across the Indian peninsula and the neighbouring regions. In ancient India, architecture and civil engineering was known as sthapatya-kala, literal translation of which means the art of constructing (something). The oldest temples survive, even the harsh climate and conditions, whereas newly constructed ones are not even withstanding a little time span.Angkor Vat is a living testimony to the contribution of Indian civil engineering and architecture to the Cambodian Khmer heritage in the field of architecture and civil engineering.In mainland India of today, there are several marvels of ancient India's architectural heritage, including World heritage sites like Ajanta, Ellora, Khajuraho, Mahabodhi Temple, Sanchi, Brihadishvara Temple and Mahabalipuram.6) navigation and ship-buildingThe science of shipbuilding and navigation was well known to ancient Indians. Sanskrit and Pali texts are replete with maritime references, and ancient Indians, particularly from the coastal regions, were having commercial relations with several countries of across the Bay of Bengal like Cambodia, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and even up to China. Similar maritime and trade relations existed with countries across the Arabian Sea like Arabia, Egypt and Persia.Even around circa 500 AD, sextants and mariner's compass were not unknown to ancient Indian shipbuilders and navigators. J.L. Reid, a member of the Institute of Naval Architects and Shipbuilders, England, at around the beginning of the 20th century has got published in the Bombay Gazetteer that "The early Hindu astrologers are said to have used the magnet, in fixing the North and East, in laying foundations, and other religious ceremonies. The Hindu compass was an iron fish that floated in a vessel of oil and pointed to the North. The fact of this older Hindu compass seems placed beyond doubt by the Sanskrit word 'Mathsya-Yantra', or 'fish-machine', which Molesworth gives as a name for the mariner's compass".7) metallurgyThe Iron Pillar located in Delhi, India, is a 7 m (23 ft), constructed during the gupta age is notable for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction. The pillar has attracted the attention of archaeologists and material scientists because of its high resistance to corrosion and oxidation, and has been called a "testimony to the high level of skill achieved by the ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron. The corrosion resistance results from an even layer of crystalline iron hydrogen phosphate hydrate forming on the high phosphorous content iron, which serves to protect it from the effects of the local Delhi climate. The pillar weighs over 6,000 kg (13,000 lb).8) GamesThe Game of chess, the martial arts of Kung-fu, wrestling(malla yudham), karathe are orginated in India.the reality of worshipping evrything and maintaining divinity to the coreThere were numerous examples of a hindu considering divinity in anything. Even a stone would turn into a God through the vibrations of Veda Mantras. The practice of kolam in cow dung to keep away micro-organisms from infectious diseases, burning of camphor to get rid of mosquitoes are all in well even today. Today’s Very staunch brahmins neither sip and take water, nor their fingers touch their mouth while eating. They would never perform any rituals whenever a female of the family is in her menstruation.Hindus have never forced to convert anyone to their religion. It preaches universal way of life rather than increase of religion count. never they invaded or conquered or slaughtered or done mass extinctions till date.There used to be a period when India was ahead among everyone in the world. Due to the invasions,convertions, and rivalry among the people had led to the downfall of the nation. But there’ll be a day when India will be a developed nation again and will lead the world nations again.jai hindustan

Thanks A2A.Sanatana Dharama (Hinduism) is eternal (beyond the time).but we can say that Sanatana Dharma is 155.52 Trillion Years (50 years of Brahma) old.The current dateCurrently, 50 years of Brahma have elapsed. The last Kalpa at the end of 50th year is called Padma Kalpa. We are currently in the first 'day' of the 51st year.This Brahma's day, Kalpa, is named as Shveta-Varaha Kalpa. Within this Day, six Manvantaras have already elapsedand this is the seventh Manvantara, named as – Vaivasvatha Manvantara (or Sraddhadeva Manvantara). Within the Vaivasvatha Manvantara, 27 Mahayugas(4 Yugas together is a Mahayuga), and the Krita,Treta and Dwapara Yugas of the 28th Mahayuga have elapsed. This Kaliyuga is in the 28th Mahayuga. This Kaliyuga began in the year 3102 BCE in the proleptic Julian Calendar.Since 50 years of Brahma have already elapsed, this is the second Parardha, also called as Dvithiya Parardha.The time elapsed since the current Brahma has taken over the task of creation can be calculated as432000 × 10 × 1000 × 2 = 8.64 billion years (2 Kalpa (day and night) )8.64 × 10^9× 30 × 12 = 3.1104 Trillion Years (1 year of Brahma)3.1104 × 10^12× 50 = 155.52 Trillion Years (50 years of Brahma)(6 × 71 × 4320000 ) + 7 × 1.728 × 10^6 = 1852416000 years elapsed in first six Manvataras, and Sandhi Kalas in the current Kalpa27 × 4320000 = 116640000 years elapsed in first 27 Mahayugas of the current Manvantara1.728 × 10^6 + 1.296 × 10^6 + 864000 = 3888000 years elapsed in current Mahayuga3102 + 2016 = 5118 years elapsed in current Kaliyuga.So the total time elapsed since current Brahma is155520000000000 + 1852416000 + 116640000 + 3888000 + 5115 = 155,521,972,949,117 years (one hundred fifty-five trillion, five hundred twenty-one billion, nine hundred seventy-two million, nine hundred forty-nine thousand, one hundred seventeen years) as of 2016 ADThe current Kali Yuga began at midnight 17 February / 18 February in 3102 BCE.As per the information above about Yuga periods, only 5,117 years are passed out of 432,000 years of current Kali Yuga, and hence another 426,883 years are left to complete this 28th Kali Yuga of Vaivaswatha Manvantara.What is Kalpa, Manavantara & Chaturyugi?1 Day of God Brahma = 1 Kalpa1 Kalpa = 14 Manavantara1 Manavantara = 71 Cycle of Four Yuga (Chaturyugi)1 Cycle of Four Yuga (Chaturyugi) = 43,20,000 Human YearsAmong the Pitṛs (forefather)Among the Pitu (Forefather or Ancestor)1 human fortnight (15 days) = 1 day (light) or night of the Pitṛs.1 human month (30 days) = 1 day (light) and night of the Pitṛs.30 days of the Pitṛs = 1 month of the Pitṛs = (30 × 30 = 900 human days).12 months of the Pitṛs = 1 year of the Pitṛs = (12 months of Pitṛs × 900 human days = 10800 human days).The lifespan of the Pitṛs is 100 years of the Pitṛs (= 36,000 Pitṛ days = 1,080,000 human days = 3000 human years)1 day of the Devas = 1 human year1 month of the Devas = 30 days of the Devas1 year of the Devas (1 divine year) = 12 months of the DevasAmong the DevasThe life span of any Hindu Deva’s spans nearly (or more than) 4.5 million years. Statistically, we can also look it as:12000 Deva Years = Life Span of Devas = 1 Mahā-Yuga.The Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows:2 Ayanas (6-month periods, see above) = 1 human year or 1 day of the devas4,000 + 400 + 400 = 4,800 divine years (= 1,728,000 human years) = 1 Satya Yuga3,000 + 300 + 300 = 3,600 divine years (= 1,296,000 human years) = 1 Tretā Yuga2,000 + 200 + 200 = 2,400 divine years (= 864,000 human years) = 1 Dvāpara Yuga1,000 + 100 + 100 = 1,200 divine years (= 432,000 human years) = 1 Kali Yuga12,000 divine year = 4 Yugas (= 4,320,000 human years) = 1 Mahā-Yuga (also is equaled to 12000 Daiva (divine) Yuga)[2*12,000 = 24,000 divine year = 12000 revolutions of sun around its dual]For Brahma1000 Mahā-Yugas = 1 Kalpa = 1 day (day only) of Brahma(2 Kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion human years)30 days of Brahma = 1 month of Brahma (259.2 billion human years)12 months of Brahma = 1 year of Brahma (3.1104 trillion human years)50 years of Brahma = 1 Parārdha2 parardhas = 100 years of Brahma = 1 Para = 1 Mahā-Kalpa (the lifespan of Brahma)(311.04 trillion human years)One day of Brahma is divided into 1000 parts called charaṇas. The charaṇas are divided as follows:The Four Yugas4 charaṇas (1,728,000 solar years ):- Satya Yuga3 charaṇas (1,296,000 solar years):- Treta Yuga2 charaṇas (864,000 solar years):- Dwapara Yuga1 charaṇas (432,000 solar years):- Kali YugaThe cycle repeats itself, so altogether there are 1,000 cycles of Mahā-Yuga in one day of Brahma.One cycle of the above four Yugas is one Mahā-Yuga (4.32 million human years)as is confirmed by the Gītā Śloka 8.17 (statement) "sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ rātriṁ yuga-sahasrāntāṁ te 'ho-rātra-vido janāḥ", meaning, a day of brahma is of 1000 Mahā-Yuga. Thus a day of Brahma, Kalpa, is of duration: 4.32 billion solar years. Two Kalpas constitute a day and night (Adhi Sandhi) of Brahma.A Manvantara consists of 71 Mahā-Yuga (306,720,000 solar years). Each Manvantara is ruled by a Manu.After each Manvantara follows one Samadhi Kāla of the same duration as a Kṛta Yuga (1,728,000 = 4 Charaṇas). (It is said that during a Samadhi Kāla, the entire earth is submerged in water.)A Kala consists of a period of 4.32 Billion solar years followed by 14 Manvataras andSamadhi Kalas.A day of Brahma equals(14 times 71 Mahā-Yuga) + (15 × 4 Charaṇas)= 994 Mahā-Yuga + (15 * 4800)= 994 Mahā-Yuga + (72,000 years)[deva years] / 6 = 12,000[deva years] viz. one maha yuga.= 994 Mahā-Yuga + 6 Mahā-Yuga= 1,000 Mahā-YugaThe Surya Siddhanta definition of timescalesThe Surya Siddhanta [Chapter 14 Mānādhyāyah (मानाध्यायः)], documents a comprehensive model of nine divisions of time called māna (मान) which span from very small time units (Prāņa [प्राण] - 4 seconds) to very large time scales (Para [पर] - 311.04 Trillion solar years)The Surya Siddhanta is the most ancient literature after the Vedas, in India and the World. It is written about the Astronomical Science and Mathematics. It is based on the calculations of the Kalpa and the Manavantara Math.It's year of writing is given in the book itself, which is 1,97,29,492nd year, at the end of the Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga.DetailsIn India before BCE 7500, total 18 original theoreticians were frequently mentioned in the field of theoretical astronomy knion as SIDDHNTA, but Varaha Mihira could get tangible proofs of only five, which he mentioned in his Panch-Siddhantika ('Of Five Theories'), among which the Surya Siddhanta is the only theory which was complete in itself and therefore highly regardes by Varaha Mihira as the accurate among all theories about heavensThe present Surya Siddhanta book is considered a direct descendant of the text available to Varahamihira (A.D. 497 - A.D. 589)Varahamihira composed pancha-siddhantika in the 6th century A.D, five stronomical canal.Paulisa Siddhant (Pulisa)Romaka Siddhant (Romak)Vashishtha Siddhant (Latadev)Surya Siddhant (Varahamihira)Paitamaha Siddhant (Latadev)The present version of Surya Siddhanta is modified by Bhaskaracharya during the Middle Age. It is based on Vedanga Jyotish, which date back to the BCE 3000.The Surya Siddhanta is the name of the multiple tretises (Siddhanta) in Sanatan Dharma's Astronomy.Surya Siddhanta is sole book which can be said to constitute of the bedrock of India's traditional astronomical/astrological mathematics.Earlier, in the late 4th Century or early 5th Century, the anonymous Sanatan Dharm's Bharatiy Author of an astronomical handbook.Surya Siddhanta is 2 Million years old book and it is first on astronomy in Sanatan Dharma. Surya Siddhanta is the first among the traditional doctrines.According to Surya Siddhant Kaliyuga is started on mid night of 18th February, BCE 3102, 00:00 A.M.So, Kali Yuga has been completed 5518 years in A.D. 2016.The cycle of four yuga will be start again after complete Kali Yuga which is called Mahayuga.Surya SiddhantaSurya Siddhanta has ruled laid down to determine the true motions of the luminaries, which conform to their actual postition in the sky.It gave location of several start over than the lunar Nakshatras and treats the calculation of solar eclipses as well as solstices, e.g., summer solstice 21/06. Significant coverage is on kinds of time, length of the year of gods and demons, day and night of God Brahma, the elapsed period since creation, how planets move eastwars and sidereal revolution. The earth's diameter and circumference are also givenn. Eclips and color of the eclipsed portion of the moon are mensioned.ContentsThe table of contents in this text are:-The mean motion of the planetsTrue places of the planetsDirection, place and timeThe moon and eclipsThe sun and eclipsThe projection of eclipsPlanetary conjuctionsOf the starsRising and settingThe moon's rising and settingCertain malignant aspects of the sun and moonCosmology, geography, and dimention of the creationThe gnomonThe movement of the heaven and human activityMathod for accurately calculating shadow cast by a gnomon are discussed in both chapter 3 and 13.Surya Siddhnata is 2 Million Years old book is first on Astronomy in Sanatan DharmaSurya Siddhant is first amomg the traditions or doctrins (siddhanta) in archelo-astronomy of the Vedik era.Infact, Surya Siddhanta is the oldest boom in the world which describe earth as sphere but not flatz gravity being reason for objects follong on earth etc.This is the knowledge that the Sun god gave to Asura called Maya in Treta Yuga. ThisMaya is father-in-law of Ravana, the villain of the first ever epic poem, Ramayana. Going by calculations of Yugas, first verson of Surya Siddhanta must have been known arround 2 million years old.However, the present version available is believed to be more than 2500 years old, which still makes it the oldest book on the earth in AstronomySatya Yuga:- 17,28,000 YearsTeta Yuga:- 12,96,000 YearsDwapara Yuga:- 08,64,000 YearsKali Yuga:- 04,32,000 YearsTotal:- 43,20,000 Years according to Sanatana Dharma.Ramayana was at the end of Treta Yuga (BCE 17,50,000). For detail please check my answer on the question:- Was Ramayan, a myth, mithya, mythical, fable, fictional, flight of fantasy, tale, or mythological work or script(ure) only?Mahabharata War was fought at the end of Dwapara Yuga (BCE 3139)Kaliyuga was started at 17th February,3102 BCE.Many believes this numbers are the imaginary and based on mythology.Life Span of Human in Each Yug:-The life span of Human being is decaying.Due to yuga dharmas, Human's ife decays when time passes away.(1). Satya Yuga:-Devine Years:- 4800 YearsHuman Years:- 17,28,000 YearsSatyayuga is the first Yuga in cycle of four Yuga.Human's life span was 1,00,000 years in starting of Satyayuga.Human's life span became 10,000 years in end of Satyayuga.(2). Treta Yuga:-Devine Years:- 3600 YearsHuman Years:- 12,96,000 YearsTreta Yuga is the secong Yuga in the cycle of four Yuga.Human's life span was 10,000 years in starting of Tretayuga.Human's life span became 1000 years in end of Treta Yuga.(3). Dwapara Yuga:-Devine Years:- 2400 YearsHuman Years:- 08,64,000 YearsDwapara Yuga is the third Yuga in the cycle of four Yugas.Human's life span was 1000 years in starting of Dwapara Yuga.Human's life span became 100 years in the end of Dwapara Yuga.Pitamaha Bhishma lived 191 years.Guru Kripacharya and Guru Dronacharya lived 175 years.Dhritarashtra & Vidura lived 161 years.Mother Kunti lived 156 years.Yuddhisthira lived 127 years.Bhima & Sri Balarama lived 126 years.Arjuna and Sri Krishna lived 125 years.Shahadeva & Nakula lived 124 years.Parikshita lived 96 years.(4). Kali Yuga:-Devine Years:- 1200 YearsHuman Years:- 04,32,000 YearsKaliyua is the fourth Yuga in the cycle of four Yugas.Human's life span was 100 years in starting of Kaliyuga.Gautama Buddha lived 80 years.Mahavir Swami lived 72 years.Mahapadma Nanda lived 88 years.Chanakya lived 96 years.Ashoka lived 76 years.Human's life span will become 20 years in end of Kaliyuga.We are in 5119th year of Kaliyua in A.D. 2016.Kali Yuga was started on midnight of 17th February, BCE 3102.Kali Yuga will be end in A.D. 4,28,898.God Shri Rama was born before 17,50,000 years:-Clan:- IkshvakuGothra:- KashyapaGuru:- Vashishtha​Sri Rama Setu is built somewhere between BCE 17,50,000 to BCE 1500.​​​​Inprogramme called "Project Rameshwaram", the Geological Survey of India (GSI) concluded though the dating of corals that Rameswaram Island evolved beginning 1,25,000 years ago.Radiocarbon dating of samples in this study suggested that the domain between Rameswaram and Talaimannar may have been exposee sometimes between 7,000-18,000 years ago.Thermouluminescence dating by GSI concludes that the sand dunes between Dhanushkoti and Sri Rama's Setu started formung about 500-600 years ago.Investigation by the centre for Remote Sensing (CRS) of Bharathidasan University, Tiruchi, led by Professor S.M.Ramasamy dates the structure to 3,500 years.In the same dates back to 6,000 years and Koditakarani arround 1,100 years ago.Another study suggest that the appearance of the reefs and the other evidence indicate their recency, and a coral sample gives a radiocarbon age of 4,020 +/-160 years.​​​​Sri Rama Setu:-​​​​Length:- 18 mile (30 KM)Width:- 3 KMSea Lavel:- 4 feet (1.2 meter)Sri Rama Setu took 5 days to built by 10 Million Vanaras (Monkeys) under the supervision of Architects Neela and Nala.Age and Structure of Sri Rama Setu is 1.75 Million years old.It is belived that Sri Rama Setu is made of a chain of limestone shoals.It is 30 KM long and 3 KM wide.It starts from Dhanushkodi tip of India's Pambam island and ends at Sri Lanka'sMannar island.Sea in these areas is very shallow.The places mentioned in Ramayana exactly matches to the current location of the Sri Ram Setu.Temple record says that Sri Rama Setu was completely above sea level until it broken in a cyclone in A.D. 1480.Sri Rama Setu was walkable till A.D. 1480.NASA says what had been captured by satelite is naturally occuring chain of sandbanks.​​​​A Scientific Possibility:-If air is trapped within a shell of silica it would look a stone but would actually be very light and would thus float.Another example is Ice. When it put into glass having liquid, ice floats on liquid a& after some time it sinks.Another prime example is "Pumice" stone.Pumice is one such stone floats on water.Pumice is the name given to the hardened foam of lava when it comes out of a volcano.The inside of a volcano has very high pressure, and can be as hot as 1600° C.When the lava comes out of the volcano, it meets the cool air (and some times sea water), which is arround 25° C.Air and water were mixed in the lava bubble out, as pressure falls.The huge difference in temperature gives the lava cold shock, so it freeze almost immediately.So the bubble get trapped in the freezing stone, giving it a very spongy appearance.In some case of pumice, the bubbles can make upto 90% of the volume.NASA Images Discover Ancient Bridge between India and Sri Lanka:-Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka.The recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam's Bridge is made of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long.The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made.The legend as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the primitive age,about 17,50,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent.This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in Treta Yuga (more than 17,50,000 years ago).​Sri Lanka History:-The first sign of human inhabitation in Sri Lanka date back to the Stone Age, about 17,52,000 years ago.These people are said to have come from the South India and reached the Island through a land bridge connecting the Indian Subcontinent to Sri Lanka.This is related to so in the epic Hindu book of Ramayana.For more detail please read my answer on:-(1). Was Ramayan, a myth, mithya, mythical, fable, fictional, flight of fantasy, tale, or mythological work or script(ure) only?(2). What are some unbelievable facts of Mahabaratha and Ramayana?32,000 year old underwater city found - Dwarka. In Northern India the remains of a city claimed to be Dwarka the City of "Lord Krisha" was found.Submersion into the SeaAfter Krishna left the earth for Vaikuntha,about 36 years after the Mahabharat War (3138 BC), and the major Yadava leaders were killed in disputes among themselves, Arjuna went to Dwarka to bring Krishna's grandsons and the Yadava wives to Hastinapur, to safety. After Arjuna left Dwarka, it was submerged into the sea. Following is the account given by Arjuna, found in the Mahabharata:The sea rushed into the city. It coursed through the streets of the beautiful city. The sea covered up everything in the city. I saw the beautiful buildings becoming submerged one by one. In a matter of a few moments it was all over. The sea had now become as placid as a lake. There was no trace of the city. Dwaraka was just a name; just a memory.The Vishnu Purana also mentions the submersion of Dwarka, statingOn the same day that Krishna departed from the earth the powerful dark-bodied Kali Age descended. The oceans rose and submerged the whole of Dwarka.A follow-up investigation was conducted by NIOT in November 2001, which included dredging to recover artifacts and sonar scans to detect structures. Among the artifacts recovered were a piece of wood, pottery sherds, weathered stones initially described as hand tools, fossilized bones, and a tooth. Artifacts were sent to the National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) in Hyderabad, India, the Birbal Sahni Institute of Paleobotany (BSIP) in Lucknow, Germany, and the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, India. The piece of wood was carbon dated to an age of 9,500 years old.NIOT returned for further investigation in the Gulf from October 2002 to January 2003. During these excavations, NIOT reported finding two paleochannels flanked by rectangular and square basement-like features. Artifacts were recovered by means of dredging, including pottery sherds, microliths, wattle and daub remains, and hearth materials. These artifacts were sent for dating at the laboratories of Manipur University and Oxford University. The wattle and daub remains are composed of locally available clay, reed, husk, pottery pieces, and pieces of fresh water shell. The wattle and daub also shows evidence of partial burning.The most recent work in the Gulf of Khambhat took place from October 2003 to January 2004 and was primarily a geologic study. Techniques used during this investigation include bathymetry survey, sub-bottom survey, side-scan survey, and magnetic survey. One of the major findings from this investigation concerns the orientation of sand ripples at the site. NIOT researchers claim that there are two sets of ripples visible at the site; One set is a natural feature formed by tidal currents while the other set has formed in relation to underlying structural features.===========Diving into Dwarka's RuinsNow evidence surfacing in the ocean environs around the current city points to an origin of Dwarka within prehistoric times, found at depths of 40 meters and off shore more than a km away over a 9 km stretch. Such a distance suggests very old dates for the structures to have been flooded, stretching as far back as the last Ice Age, nearly 12,000 years. The NIOT (National Institute of Oceanography and Technology of India) led by India's Union Minister for Human Resource Development, Science and Technology division, Murli Manohar Joshi spotted the structures using side-scanning sonar quite by accident while monitoring the seafloor for pollution. The buildings are evenly spaced and contain deep foundations within the seabed; a number of regular steps seem apparent within a number of the structures. A feature called the "fortress" is nearly 98 meters in length (321 feet). Joshi also calls to attention other buildings underwater, including a granary, drainage system, and public bath. There can be no doubt that the features are man-made.Computer simulated underwater image of sonar-scanned "fortress" at the Gulf of Khambat off the coast of the Gujerat Peninsula 131 feet below the water surfaceRadiocarbon dating of recently found artifacts confirm the date by archaeologists diving in the areas of the stone monumentsbeneath the waves. A piece of wood found amongst the ruins gives a date of about 9500 years into the past. Minister Joshi of Ocean Technology announced these findings along with other organic artifacts which place the site at 7500 years old and older. Within the past few months before the Ministers official announcement, engineers had begun extensive dredging operations there and pulled up human fossil bones, fossil wood, stone tools, pieces of pottery and many other things that indicated that it indeed was a human habitation site around the stone ruins. The pieces of pottery that have been found do not seem to contain any similar characteristics of inland pottery, even those of the Indus Sarasvati civilization dating around 2500 BC and earlier.Archaeological Finds: Truly Ancient PotteryA thin piece of reddish and brown ceramic pot shard was taken to the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmadabad, Gujarat State, using standard Thermoluminescence based pottery methods to place the age of the sample. The pottery piece gave a date of 13000 ± 1950 BP. Another pottery piece, which was ill fired, on OSL dating (Location 21 o12.54’ N; 72 o 30.370’ E) by Oxford University gave an age of 16840 ± 2620 BP. These are indeed old, giving them an age c. 17000 BC. Other pieces of fired clays (for making pottery), were found giving ages of 20130 ± 2170 BP (Location 21 o 13.720’ N; 72 o 26.190’ E) and 16600 ± 1150 BP (Location 21 o13.80 ‘N; 72 o 26.10 E), by OSL as determined by the Oxford University dating lab. The well fired 3 potteries in the northern palaeochannel gave ages of 7506 ± 785 BP, 6097 ± 611 BP (both by Manipur University) and 4330 ± 1330 BP by Oxford University. Hearth materials that were gathered in the dredging efforts from the southern township (Location 21o03.04 N 72o30.70 E) by TL dating from PRL, Ahmedabad gave an age of 10000 ± 1500 BP whereas the hearth material near the top in the northern township nearer to the shore gave an age expectantly earlier resulting of 3530 ± 330 BP by OSL, Oxford University.More miraculous even is the discovery of ceramic plates that contain eroded "impressions"; Joshi believes the tablets may be evidence for the some of the first writing in the world.As of today, the NIOT or any other agency has yet to actually conduct careful underwater marine archaeological digs of the site with manned dives. The legislation required to do so is complicated and requires on average much more funds than regular land-based digs and surveys. This is another reason why such places as Dwarka in other parts of the world's inundated vast coastal ocean shelves remain unstudied and elusive to archaeologists.God Shri Krishna’s Birth Year:-Sri Krishna was born 38,87,874th year of 28th Chaturyugi.Dwapar Yuga comes at third sequence of cycle of Four Yuga.Dwa= twoDwaparyuga is 02 times longer then Kaliyuga.Kaliyuga is 04,32,000 years long.Dwaparyuga is 08,64,000 years long.Sri Krishna was born in end of Dwaparyuga.When Sri Krishna born only 126 years of Dwaparyuga were remaining.Sri Krishna lived 125 years 08 months and 07 days.Kaliyuga was started on same year when Sri Krishna goes to his Devine abode.Kaliyuga was started in midnight of 17th February BCE 3102.5,117 years of Kaliyuga are completed now (in A.D. 2015)5,118th year of Kaliyuga is running now (A.D. 2015)God Sri Krishna was born 38,87,874th year of 28th Chaturyugi.1 Chaturyugi = 1 cycle of four Yuga.Yugas are four.(1) Satyayuga = 17,28,000 years(2) Tretayuga = 12,96,000 years(3) Dwaparyuga = 08,64,000 years(4) Kaliyuga = 04,32,000 years.God Sri Krishna was born in end of Dwaparayuga.When God Sri Krishna was born, only 126 years of Dwaparyuga were remaining.08,64,000-126= 08,63,874 years17,28,000 + 12,96,000 + 08,63,874 = 38,87,874 yearsSri Krishna was born 38,87,874th year of 28th Chaturyugi.For More Detail Please Read My These Answers:-How many years after starting 28th Chaturyugi Sri Krishna was born?In Which year of Dwaparyuga Sri Krishna was born?In Which Yuga Sri Krishna Born?In Which Chaturyugi Sri Krishna Born?In Which Yuga Sri Krishna Born?In Which Kalpa Sri Krishna Born?

Lemon, Chili and Needle hangingIf you observe some houses still hanging the Lemon, Chili and Needle, says it will save our house from badluck, buri najar, kanna drushta... so on.but the fact is, in Ancient India, there were no resources for commutation so they use to walk from city to city, also they need to cross some dense forest area some times in day and some times in night as well.if you check some more about benefits Lemon and Chilli's you will find Lemon keeps your body cool and will not allow you to dehydrate so whenever people walking near by and some sun strokes or something like this, they used Lemon to cure it, this is just an example there are many benefits.Let's come to Chilli, Chilli is nothing but one kind of poison (very mild), whenever and whoever get fits (strokes) they use to smell chili to cure the people and another best example is if snake bites or any poisons insect bites, then people use to try to eat chili, if it taste hot then it's okay if it didn't taste it like normal chili then poison's insect bite comes positive.Needle, In India people use to walk by bare legs no chappals or shoes, so there may be a chance of thorns on the road, so they use needle to take out the thorns from foot.Baudhāyana SulbasūtraPythagorean theoremIt is also referred to as Baudhayana theorem. The most notable of the rules (the Sulbasūtra-s do not contain any proofs for the rules which they describe, since they are sūtra-s, formulae, concise) in the Baudhāyana Sulba Sūtra says:दीर्घचतुरश्रस्याक्ष्णया रज्जु: पार्श्र्वमानी तिर्यग् मानी च यत् पृथग् भूते कुरूतस्तदुभयं करोति ॥dīrghachatursrasyākṣaṇayā rajjuḥ pārśvamānī, tiryagmānī,cha yatpṛthagbhūte kurutastadubhayāṅ karoti.A rope stretched along the length of the diagonal produces an area which the vertical and horizontal sides make together.[6]The lines are to be referring to a rectangle, although some interpretations consider this to refer to a square. In either case, it states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the sides. If restricted to right-angled isosceles triangles, however, it would constitute a less general claim, but the text seems to be quite open to unequal sides.If this refers to a rectangle, it is the earliest recorded statement of the Pythagorean theorem.Baudhāyana also provides a non-axiomatic demonstration using a rope measure of the reduced form of the Pythagorean theorem for an isosceles right triangle:The cord which is stretched across a square produces an area double the size of the original square.Sequences of Pythagorean triples used in cryptography as random sequences and for the generation of keys have been dubbed "Baudhayana sequences" in a 2014 paper.[7]Circling the squareAnother problem tackled by Baudhāyana is that of finding a circle whose area is the same as that of a square (the reverse of squaring the circle). His sūtra i.58 gives this construction:Draw half its diagonal about the centre towards the East-West line; then describe a circle together with a third part of that which lies outside the square.Explanation:Draw the half-diagonal of the square, which is larger than the half-side by .Then draw a circle with radius , or , which equals .Now , so the area .Square root of 2Baudhāyana i.61-2 (elaborated in Āpastamba Sulbasūtra i.6) gives the length of the diagonal of a square in terms of its sides, which is equivalent to a formula for the square root of 2:samasya dvikaraṇī. pramāṇaṃ tṛtīyena vardhayettac caturthenātmacatustriṃśonena saviśeṣaḥThe diagonal [lit. "doubler"] of a square. The measure is to be increased by a third and by a fourth decreased by the 34th. That is its diagonal approximately.[citation needed]That is,which is correct to five decimals.[8]Other theorems include: diagonals of rectangle bisect each other, diagonals of rhombus bisect at right angles, area of a square formed by joining the middle points of a square is half of original, the midpoints of a rectangle joined forms a rhombus whose area is half the rectangle, etc.Note the emphasis on rectangles and squares; this arises from the need to specify yajña bhūmikās—i.e. the altar on which a rituals were conducted, including fire offerings (yajña).Voltaire, the famous French writer and philosopher, stated that “Pythagoras went to the Ganges to learn geometry.” Abraham Seidenberg, author of the authoritative “History of Mathematics,” credits the Sulba Sutras as inspiring all mathematics of the ancient world from Babylonia to Egypt to Greece. As Voltaire & Seidenberg have stated, many highly significant mathematical concepts have come from the Vedic culture, such as:• The theorem bearing the name of the Greek mathematician Pythagorus is found in the Shatapatha Brahmanaas well as the Sulba Sutra, the Indian mathematical treatise, written centuries before Pythagorus was born.• The Decimal system, based on powers of ten, where the remainder is carried over to the next column, is first mentioned in the Taittiriya Samhita of the Black Yajurveda.• The Introduction of zero as both a numerical value and a place marker.• The Concept of infinity.• The Binary number system, essential for computers, was used in Vedic verse meters.• A hashing technique, similar to that used by modern search algorithms, such as that of Google, was used in South Indian musicology. From the name of a raga one can determine the notes of the raga from this Kathapayadi system.1. Were the ancients more advanced?Mythological stories are normally treated as a literature material or sometimes a science fiction. But there is a huge possibility that mythological stories in any religion may not merely be a legend or a piece of literature. In this blog, I would discuss some unbelievable correlation between some Hindu mythological stories and well established scientific facts. Take a look…2. Strange Narrations in MahabharataThere are certain narrations in Mahabharata that defies any rational explanations. Some examples are explanations about flying vehicles (Vimanas), Arjuna's travels in a flying chariot across the Himalayas, his visit of the Deva territories (ancient alien base-camp in Tibet?), his battle with the Nivata Kavachas (men in space-suits?), Salwa's attack of the city of Dwaraka in a flying city named Saubha, the triple space-cities of Asuras that revolved around Earth in three circular orbits that was destroyed by Siva using a single projectile weapon, and many more…3. Nuclear weaponsA few excerpts from the Mahabharata have caused doubts in the minds of historians, indicating the possibility of nuclear weapons being used in the Mahabharata war or post-war. This fire of suspicion has further been fuelled by the recent discoveries of green glass and many radioactive samples in certain excavations, in India, which apparently were associated with the Mahabharata war. Green glass is said to form when sand melts at very high temperatures prevalent in Nuclear Explosions.4. Nuclear weaponsIn the Mahabharata the total death toll amounts to around 1.6 billion in a matter of 18 days. How could this be possible unless and otherwise there is an involvement of weapons of mass destruction. Modern archeological surveys have slowly started to provide us valuable clues of the war. The vast amount of devastation found at the site of Mohenjo Daro corresponds exactly to Nagasaki.5. An example of cloningIn Srimad Bhagavatam, it has been mentioned that when His Excellency Nimi was dead, the seers by process of Mantha, (perhaps, human cloning in modern idioms) created a new baby from his dead body. The baby was called Janaka, as it was out of (mantha) cloning of his father. It was called Videha, as it was born out of a non-sexual process. As the baby was born out of a process of mantha it was called Mithila and his kingdom was also named as Mithila.6. An example of cloningIn another episode when Sita and Rama’s son “Lava” was lost, Valmiki produced "Kusha" from grass, which is analogous to cloning. Apparently again, the cloning he did was far more advanced than the cloning techniques of today. “Raktabij” is another similar citing, where every drop of his blood on earth produced his “Adult clone”.7. The birth of KauravasThe science of cloning was well known and practised during the Mahabharatha times. As per Dr. B.G. Matapurkar, the Kauravas "were products of technology that modern science has not even developed yet". He said that according to the description in Mahabharatha, the Kauravas were created by splitting the single embryo into 100 parts and growing each part in a separate container. In other words, "they not only knew about test-tube babies and embryo splitting but also had the technology to grow human foetuses outside human body."8. Romans used nanotechnologyThe Lycurgus Cup is a 1,600-year-old jade green Roman chalice that changes colour depending on the direction of the light upon it. It baffled scientists as they could not work out why the cup appeared jade green when lit from the front but blood red when lit from behind. The mystery was solved in 1990, when researchers discovered that the Roman artisans were nanotechnology pioneers: they had impregnated the glass with particles of silver and gold, ground down until they were as small as 50 nanometres in diameter.9. Embryo transfer and the birth of BalramaEmbryo transfer is done today as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Zygote IntraFallopian Transfer (ZIFT) and in both processes embryo is developed outside the womb and then placed inside. When Kansa had killed six foetuses of Devaki and she got pregnant for the seventh time, transfer of foetus was arranged by Vishnu. He ordered Yogamaya to take out the foetus of Devaki and place it in the womb of Rohini, another wife of Vasudeva who then resided in the house of Nanda in Gokul.10. Abhimanyu, A warrior in the wombIn Mahabharatha, when Subhadra was pregnant, Arjun told her the secret of entering the chakravyuh. When he was explaining the exit procedure, Subhadra fell asleep. Hence Abhimanyu learned the entrance procedure while he was in Subhadra's womb but did not learn the exit strategy. There was a time when people criticized this concept. But modern science says that it is very much possible. In his book "Right Brain Education in Infancy" Dr. Makoto Shichida, says, the right brain is active during gestation.11. Ram Setu was built by Lord RamaRamasethu is an engineering masterpiece. From scientific point of view, the technology once existed to make stones float on water and the architect like Nal and Neel were two architects advanced in building a bridge from India to sri lanka within 5 days with the help of dedicated work force of million Vanaras. Even in Valmiki Ramayana, there is a concept of civil engineering in building this bridge. This bridge was not constructed just by throwing stone with lord name but there were many engineering methods.12. Organ transplantsWe know that there are two types of replacement of body parts: First there are parts like hands, arms, and legs, which are not vital organs. Then there are the transplants of vital organs. The one instance where one can conceive of a combination of the two is transplanting the entire head, which is both an external appendage and the storehouse of the most important organ in the body, namely the brain. Thus, head replacement would be the most sophisticated organ transplant one can imagine.13. Organ transplantsWe find an instance of this in the story of Ganesha. There are several accounts of how Ganesha received his head. According to one, Shani was among the guests at Ganesha's birth. When Shani looked directly at the child, the baby's head turned to ash. Parvati began to wail. When this happened, Vishnu, flew off in search of a substitute head. He found on the bank of a river a sleeping elephant. He severed the beast's head and affixed it on to the body of Ganesha.14. Live TelecastAs Dhritarashtra was blind but wanted to know what was happening at the battlefield, Krishna gifted Sanjay with "Dibya Drishti", so that he could see a “Live Telecast” of “Kurukshetra” and describe that to Dhritarashtra. “Dibya drishti” is analogous to modern television set in the sense that Krishna could not give it directly to Dhristarastra but needed Sanjay.15. Live TelecastImagine a central computer system with wireless links that can accept voice commands or thoughts, then you can understand how cameras in the heaven, as in satellites of these days, would point to the locations which Dhritarashtra asked Sanjay to describe about. Therefore, “Dibya drishti” in modern description is a television set with a wireless link to the satellite and an access right to the system to control the cameras. The access permission was granted by the System Administrator, Krishna.16. Time TravelIf we look into ancient texts we can find a number of references to time travelling. In Hindu mythology, there is the story of King Raivata Kakudmi who travels to meet the creator Brahma. Even if this trip didn’t last long, when Kakudmi returned back to Earth, 108 yugas had passed on Earth, and it is thought that each yuga represents about 4 million years. The explanation Brahma gave to Kakudmi is that time runs differently in different planes of existence.17. Time TravelSimilarly, we have references in the Quran about the cave of Al-Kahf. The story refers to a group of young Christian people, who in 250 AD tried to escape persecution and retreated, under God’s guidance, to a cave where God put them to sleep. They woke up 309 years later. This story coincides with the Christian story of the seven sleepers, with a few differences.18. Tele-visionSanjaya received the faculty of distant vision especially for performing the task of reporting what was going on in the battlefield. Conceptually, it was as if he was watching the unraveling of the scenes on a television screen. It was more than that: He was endowed with full knowledge of history and geography which enabled him to recount to the king in details of the topography of the entire country, and narrate everything that was going on in Kurukshetra.19. Life-principle from the stars: Akash GangaIn Hindu lore there is an interesting account of how the sacred river Ganga which has its origins in the Himalayan range, actually arose. In Ramayana it is stated that the river "rose from the skies and finally came down to earth in the form of a terrestrial stream that has the power to rid us of worldly sins." In this vision, the river's pristine presence in the universe may still be seen as the Milky which is known as Akash Ganga or the Celestial Ganga.20. Life-principle from the stars: Akash GangaWe note that this is perhaps the first instance in history where one put forward the idea of a material something reaching us from the stellar world. The extra-terrestrial origin of meteors was not discovered until the eighteenth century. And it was only in the twentieth century that we became aware of the ceaseless shower of cosmic rays which reach us from the sun primarily, but also from beyond our solar system.21. Sexual orgasmIn a conversation between Yudhishtra and Bhisma, Yudhishthira said, “O king to tell me truly which of the two viz., man or woman derives the greater pleasure from an act of union with each other. Kindly resolve my doubt in this respect.” Bhishma while replying his questions explains a story where a king transformed into women later given an option to again opt for whichever sex he/she likes opts to remain as women with the following explanation for it.22. Sexual orgasmThe lady said, 'I desire to remain a woman, In acts of congress, the pleasure that women enjoy is always much greater than what is enjoyed by men. It is for this reason, O Sakra! that I desire to continue a woman” This is very much acknowledged by modern sexologists.23. Aircrafts of those timesGoing into the history of the Indian sub-continent and the ancient science that prevailed, the hypothesis of "vimanas existed" comes close to true. The Vaimaanika shasthra of Maharishi Bharadhwaja gives description of aircrafts that are much more advanced than our present generational aircrafts. According to the Dronaparva, Vimanas are described as shaped like a sphere and can move along at great speed on a mighty wind generated by mercury. Section XLIII of Vana Parva describes about Arjuna's arival at the city of Indra 'Amaravati' wherein vimanas are mentioned.24. Distance of Earth from SunTwo lines of “Hanuman Chalisa" computes the distance of earth from sun with great simplicity and that too quite accurately - जुग सहस्त्र योजन पर भानु, लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू (Juug Sahastra Yojan Par Bhanu, Lilyo taahi madhur fal jaanun). This means that Sun (Bhanu) is at a distance of Juug Sahastra Yojans (जुग सहस्त्र योजन- Distance Unit in Hindi).25. Distance of Earth from SunAccording to conversion practices that are in use as per Hindu Vedic Literature - 1Juug= 12000; Sahastra= 1000; 1Yojan=8 Miles. Thus 12000 X 1000 X 8 = 96,000,000 miles. 1 miles= 1.6 kms. This means 153,600,000 Km. In the 17th century two scientists Giovanni and Richer have calculated the distance of sun from earth accurately and real close (at 140 million kilometers) to now officially declared figures.26. TeleportationConsider the story of Usha and Chitralekha, which appears in "Srimad Bhagavatam." The beautiful Princess Usha, single and longing for love, had the experience of a handsome youth in her dream one night. The dream was interrupted, and she woke up and exclaimed, "Oh, beloved one, where are you?" She confided the dream to her close friend Chitralekha. Chitralekha said she would find who the young man was and get him to her. But how was she to recognize him?27. TeleportationChitralekha began to draw a series of faces, and asked Usha if any of them resembled the man of her dream. Usha came upon a drawing which was of Aniruddha, a grandson of Lord Krishna. That night, Chitralekha transported herself to Dwaraka where she found Aniruddha. Two aspects of today's world are implicit in this story. First there is the idea that one can identify an unknown person through sketches, a matter that is routinely done in criminal investigations. Then, of course, there is the notion of teleportation.28. Successful Brain SurgeryScientists have discovered the world’s oldest known case of a successful human brain surgery after unearthing a 4300 year old skull from the site of an ancient Civilization site. This discovery was done by the scientists from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) who found evidence pointing this to be the oldest known case of Trephination in the world meant to treat a skull injury. Trephination is the process of drilling holes in the damaged skull to remove shattered bits of bone from a fractured skull.29. Where did all that technology vanish?The natural question that comes up is that if this were so, where did all that technology vanish? My guess would be that the Mahabharat War was Nuclear in nature and the use of all those divine Astras (aka Nuclear weapons) led to the decimation of not only a large portion of the world population but also the technology and civilizational progress that mankind had achieved till then. Imagine if such a war breaks out today, what would be the condition of humanity in the decades to come?I would like to take this opportunity to mention the most misunderstood myth or truth about Hindu gods, as 33 Core, it’s not 33 Core it’s 33 types.33 Koti Devata ~ The Concept Of 33 Koti Devata( From Veda)The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly."Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”.(Atharva Veda)Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world.In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1)The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2)They are: 8-Vasu, 11-Rudra, and 12-Aaditya, 1-Indra and 1-Prajaapati.8. Vasus are ~ Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Moon, Sun, and Star. They are called Vasus, because they are abode of all that lives, moves or exists. (also mentioned in Mahabharat, 1/66/18)11. Rudras ~ The ten Pranas (Praana, Apaana, Vyaana, Samaana, Udaana, Naag, Kurma, Krikal, Devadutta and Dhananjaya) i.e. nervauric forces which live in the human body. The eleventh is the human soul. These are called ‘Rudras’ because when they desert the body, it becomes dead and the relations of the deceased, consequently, begin to weep.Rudra means one who makes a person to weep. { also mentioned in Harivansha 13/51-52})12. Adityaas ---the twelve months of a year called Adityaas, they cause the lapse of the term of existence of each object or being. (also mentioned in Mahabharat)1. Indra which is also known as the (all-pervading) electricity, as it is productive of great force.1. Prajaapati , also called the “Yajna” because it benefits mankind by the purification of air, water, rain and vegetables and because it aids the development of various arts, and in it the honor is accorded to the learned and the wise.The master of these 33 Devatas is the Mahadeva or Ishwar who alone is to be worshipped as per 14th Kanda of Shatpath Brahman.1. Indian Scriptures have answers that modern science needs?During the growth of the ancient civilizations, ancient technology was the result of incredible advances in engineering in ancient times. These advances in the history of technology stimulated societies to adopt new ways of living and governance. However, many ancient inventions were forgotten, lost to the pages of history, only to be re-invented millennia later. Here are the best examples of ancient technology and inventions that demonstrate the ingenuity of our ancient ancestors. So, get ready to be awed...2. Saints or scientists?The land of India is known to be the land of saints and Gods. It is filled with various types of unexplainable things. In ancient times, various saints after doing years of hard meditation, their work and with their patience found the secrets hidden in the Vedas 1,000 years ago. These inventions later came to be known as modern science. Some of the saints came out with such amazing inventions that shocked the kings of those times as well. Click on to know…3. The Indian Sage who developed Atomic Theory 2,600 years agoJohn Dalton (1766 – 1844), an English chemist and physicist, is the man credited today with the development of atomic theory. However, a theory of atoms was actually formulated 2,500 years before Dalton by an Indian sage and philosopher, known as Acharya Kanad. Acharya Kanad was born in 600 BC in Prabhas Kshetra (near Dwaraka) in Gujarat, India. His real name was Kashyap. It was Kanada who originated the idea that anu (atom) was an indestructible particle of matter.4. The Indian Sage who developed Atomic Theory 2,600 years agoAn interesting story states that this theory occurred to him while he was walking with food in his hand. As he nibbled at the food in his hand, throwing away the small particles, it occurred to him that he could not divide the food into further parts and thus the idea of a matter which cannot be divided further came into existence. He called that indivisible matter anu, i.e. molecule, which was misinterpreted as atom. He also stated that anu can have two states - Absolute rest and a State of motion.5. Newton’s Law, 1200 Years before Newton“Objects fall on the earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. Therefore, the earth, planets, constellations, moon and sun are held in orbit due to this attraction.” The meaning of these lines is parallel to that of Newton’s Law of Gravity. But these lines are not said by the European scientist. They are said by an Indian - in Surya Siddhanta, dated 400-500 AD, the ancient Hindu astronomer Bhaskaracharya states these lines. Approximately 1200 years later (1687 AD), Sir Isaac Newton rediscovered this phenomenon and called it the Law of Gravity.6. Acharya Charak: Father of medicineAcharya Charak has been crowned as the Father of Medicine. His renowned work, the "Charak Samhita," is considered as an encyclopedia of Ayurveda. His principles, diagnoses, and cures retain their potency and truth even after a couple of millennium. When the science of anatomy was confused with different theories in Europe, Acharya Charak revealed through his innate genius and inquires the facts on human anatomy, embryology, pharmacology, blood circulation and diseases like diabetes, tuberculosis, heart disease, etc.7. Charak SamhitaIn the "Charak Samhita" he has described the medicinal qualities and functions of 100,000 herbal plants. He has emphasized the influence of diet and activity on mind and body. He has proved the correlation of spirituality and physical health contributed greatly to diagnostic and curative sciences. He has also prescribed and ethical charter for medical practitioners two centuries prior to the Oath. Through his genius and intuition, Acharya Charak forever remains etched in the annals of history as one of the greatest and noblest of rishi-scientists.8. Sage BharadwajIn 1875, the Vymaanika-Shaastra, a fourth century BC text written by Maharshi Bhardwaj, was discovered in a temple in India. The book dealt with the operation of ancient vimanas and included information on steering, precautions for long flights, protection of the airships from storms and lightning, and how to switch the drive to solar energy, or some other “free energy” source. Vimanas were said to take off vertically or dirigible. Bharadwaj the Wise refers to no less than 70 authorities and 10 experts of air travel in antiquity.9. Rishi KanvaThe science of wind has been explained by Sage Kanva in Rigveda sections 8/41/6 in Jagati meter of God wind. Sage Kashyapa has described the features and properties of this substance in Rigveda 9/64/26 in the hymns of God Pavamana Soma in meter Gayatri. Kanva was a great Rishi, a descendent of Sage Angirasa. He looked after Shakuntala when she was abandoned by her mother and father (rishi vishwamitra). Bharat, the son of Shakuntala was also brought up by him.10. Sage Kapil Muni: Author of the Sankhya DarshanKapil muni was born equipped with rare intellect, dispassion and spiritual powers. He authored Sankhya Darshan that defined the term "Dhyaan or Meditation" as “the state of mind when remains without any subjectivity / objectivity i.e. without any thought (when the mind is away from worldly objects), is called the "Dhyaan or Meditation”. He teaches that there is an unbroken continuity from the lowest inorganic to the highest organic forms. The source of world according to him is Prakriti (fundamental nature).11. Kapil Muni: Finding how the Universe was createdAccording to Kapil Muni, there are twenty-five principles responsible for the manifestation of the Creation (Samasara), out of which Purusha and Prakriti are eternal and independent of each other. Kapila is not concerned to deny the reality of personal God or Maheshwara. Yet his assertion is that, no arguments can irrefutably establish God's reality. Therefore, in his model of creation the Purusha (Spirit) and Prakrity (matter) are held solely responsible for creation, without acknowledging an Almighty and intelligent Creator, the God.12. Patanjali: The father of YogaThe Science of Yoga is one of several unique contributions of India to the world. It seeks to discover and realize the ultimate Reality through yogic practices. Acharya Patanjali, prescribed the control of prana (life breath) as the means to control the body, mind and soul. This subsequently rewards one with good health and inner happiness. His 84 yogic postures effectively enhance the efficiency of the respiratory, circulatory, nervous, digestive and endocrine systems and many other organs of the body.13. AryabhattHe was a master Astronomer and Mathematician, born in 476 CE in Kusumpur (Bihar). In 499 CE, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called "Aryabhatiyam" He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space - 1,000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory.14. SushrutaBorn to sage Vishwamitra, Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago, he and health scientists of his time conducted complicated surgeries like cesareans, cataract, artificial limbs, Rhinoplasty (restoration of a damaged nose), 12 types of fractures, 6 types of dislocations, urinary stones and even plastic surgery and brain surgery. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India. He is the author of the book "Sushruta Samhita", in which he describes over 300 surgical procedures and 125 surgical instruments.15. BhaskaracharyaHe calculated the time taken by the earth to orbit the sun hundreds of years before the astronomer Smart; Time taken by earth to orbit the sun: (5th century) 365.258756484 days. Born in the obscure village of Vijjadit (Jalgaon) in Maharastra, Bhaskaracharya's mathematical works called "Lilavati" and "Bijaganita" are considered to be unparalleled. In his treatise "Siddhant Shiromani" he writes on planetary positions, eclipses, cosmography, mathematical techniques and astronomical equipment. In the "Surya Siddhant" he makes a note on the force of gravity.16. VarahamihiraVarahamihir's book "panch siddhant", noted that the moon and planets are lustrous not because of their own light but due to sunlight. In the "Bruhad Samhita" and "Bruhad Jatak", he has revealed his discoveries in the domains of geography, constellation, science, botany and animal science. In his treatise on botanical science, Varahamihir presents cures for various diseases afflicting plants and trees.17. The galaxy is oval, Earth is sphericalYajur Vedic verse: "Brahmaanda vyapta deha bhasitha himaruja..." describing Shiva as the one who is spread out in Brahmaanda. Anda means an egg depicting the shape of the galaxy. It was the middle east Europians and Greeks who wrongly believed that earth was flat. But Indians, since long have always known that it was spherical. In many scriptures, the word Bhoogala is used, Gola meaning round.18. Existence of Atomic and Sub atomic particlesThe world accounts discovery of atoms and sub atomic particles to Western scientists who coined these words and theories only in the early 17th century. An excerpt from Lalitha Sahasranama, told by Hayagreeva to Agasthya muni, dating back to the distant ages of the past,describes the Goddess as the super consciousness/Brahman that pervades even the sub atomic particles within matter. "Paranjyotih parandhamah paramanuh paratpara". The word "anuvu" means atom. Paramanu is sub-atomic particle, finer than the finest of atom, meaning electrons and the others.19. Ancient times and nuclear weaponsRadiation still so intense, the area is highly dangerous! A heavy layer of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, covers a three-square mile area, ten miles west of Jodhpur. For some time it has been established that there is a very high rate of birth defects and cancer in the area under construction. Scientists have unearthed an ancient city where evidence shows an atomic blast dating back thousands of years, from 8,000 to 12,000 years, destroying everything most of the buildings and probably a half-million people.20. Ancient times and nuclear weaponsThe Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked the continent. "A single projectile charged with all the power in the Universe...An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all its splendor...it was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race.” Historian Kisari Mohan Ganguli says that Indian sacred writings are full of such descriptions.21. Ancient ultrasound machines?Using a variety of complicated instruments, gynecologists have gradually come to know how the embryo grows during the period of pregnancy. But the Shrimad Bhagavatam, 3rd canto, 30th chapter, gives a vivid description of the growth of the embryo in the mother's womb. If we compare the information given therein with the information given in a standard textbook such as the embryology section of Gray's Anatomy, there are striking similarities in the information obtained from the two sources.22. Ancient science knows more than modern science?The Vedas claim that there are living entities everywhere - even in fire. Modern science, however, presumed that no life could exist in fire. This presumption is in fact the basis for the process of sterilization. But recent advancements in the field of medicine have shown that microbes called 'fire bacteria' survive even in fire.23. The incredible powers of the ancient Siddhars!Siddhars are a type of saint in India who are said to have had many powers and achieved a ‘god-like’ state through specific secret practices that were known only to them. These powers spanned from controlling time and space, to transforming the body, manipulating matter at the molecular level and achieving immortality. The Siddhars were followers of the God Shiva and according to different texts there were 18 of them. Their teachings and findings were written in the form of poems in the Tamil language.24. Who were Siddhars?There is a debate as to who was the first Siddhar. Some legends talk about Sri Pathanjali, who was considered to be an incarnation of Adiseshan, the celestial five-headed snake associated with God Vishnu. But the prevailing tradition refers to Agasthya (or Agasthyar) as the first Siddhar, one of the seven sages (or Saptarshis) as mentioned in the Vedic texts, and he was the son of the god Brahma of the Hindu creation story.25. Siddhars or scientists?Agathiyar is considered to be the author of a lot of the first Siddhar literature and he was supposed to have lived in the 7th century BC. About 96 books are attributed to him and that includes writings in alchemy, medicine and spirituality. Apart from the legends that exist, the beginnings of the Siddhars’ are lost in time.26. Ashta Siddhis of SiddharsThe powers that the Siddhars possessed were separated in categories. The main category included 8 powers called ashta siddhis: To become tiny as the atom within the atom (Anima); To become big in unshakeable proportions (Mahima); To become as light as vapour in levitation (Laghima); To become as heavy as the mountain (Garima); To enter into other bodies in transmigration (Prapti); To be in all things, omni-pervasive (Prakamya); To be lord of all creation in omnipotence (Isatvam); To be everywhere in omnipresence (Vasitvam)27. Ten Siddhis of SiddharsThere are ten secondary siddhis as described in Bhagavata Purana that include the following: Being undisturbed by hunger, thirst, and other bodily appetites; Hearing things far away; Seeing things far away; Moving the body wherever thought goes (teleportation/astral projection); Assuming any form desired; Entering the bodies of others; Dying when one desires; Witnessing and participating in the past times of the gods; Perfect accomplishment of one's determination; Orders or commands being unimpeded28. Ancient science and SiddharsA famous Siddhar was Tirumular, who was a Tamil mystic and writer of 6th century AD and was also one of the 18 Siddhars according to the Tamil Siddha tradition. His main work is named “Tirumantiram”, a 3,000 verse text, which is the foundation of the Southern Shaiva Siddharta School of philosophy. Another Siddhar, Bhogar (Bhoganathar), who lived between the 3rd and 5th century AD is said to have discovered the elixir of immortality – one his main works is the Pharmacognosy.29. The mystery remains…!Due to the closely-guarded nature of the Siddhar records, the original knowledge of this enigmatic group of saints has remained shrouded in secrecy. The question remains whether their powers were real and, if so, how they managed to attain them. Manipulating space, time and matter would require knowledge far beyond what we have today.source : Shocking scientific inventions by ancient Hindu saints!Our India is great.Thanks for all upvotes.
