‘Hindu cosmology’s time-scale for the universe is in consonance with modern science’

Carl Sagan, the distinguished Cornell University astronomer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, who succumbed to his battle against cancer on December 15, in fact lived for millions of years in the relative time scale of experience.
This legend in his own lifetime was a first grade philosopher, poet, scientist and a splendid example of human greatness all rolled into one.
His true genius lay in the many esoteric philosophical and scientific endeavours which only specialists can really appreciate. But he became an instant pop science icon when he co-authoredCOSMOS, a television series devoted to astronomy and space exploration.
A part of that awesome series was shot in India. In the early eighties, Sagan met then Indian diplomat Placido P D’Souza and in a conversation explained the India connection and the relevance of Gandhi.
You have been host of the television programme COSMOS which deals with astronomy and science exploration. And yet India figured in this programme. Could you tell us how India fits into this series?Let me first say something about the series in general, and something about the Indian part of the series. The television series COSMOS is designed to breach the barrier that many people feel about science. They cannot understand it, and it is foreign to them in approach and content. Our experience is that children grow up with an absolute zest and passion for science, and something happens to discourage some of them – sometimes many of them – from pursuing this interest.
We thought it was our job to excite the children, and reawaken the interest in science of adults. So we will use any approach to gain people’s attention, and show them that science is something not just that they can understand, but that they can become excited about and can use as part of the way they view the world.
The series has been extraordinarily successful. It has been shown in a year or two in the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China. I hope some day it will be shown in India. The tenth episode of COSMOS is largely about cosmology – the study of the universe in a perspective in which the Earth is like a grain to stand in vast beach or desert – and the way we approach the subject is through Hindu cosmology.
We have done that for several reasons. We went to Tamil Nadu for the festival called Pongal. Like festivals all over the world, it celebrates the changing of the seasons, and remind us that our ancestors were astronomers, who kept calendars and watched the skies. It was essential for extremely practical matters: when to sow seeds and to harvest grain. It was a matter of life and death to be an astronomer.
Carl Sagan
But the main reason that we oriented this episode of COSMOS towards India is because of that wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology which first of all gives a time-scale for the Earth and the universe — a time-scale which is consonant with that of modern scientific cosmology. We know that the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, and the cosmos, or at least its present incarnation, is something like 10 or 20 billion years old. The Hindu tradition has a day and night of Brahma in this range, somewhere in the region of 8.4 billion years.
As far as I know. It is the only ancient religious tradition on the Earth which talks about the right time-scale. We want to get across the concept of the right time-scale, and to show that it is not unnatural. In the West, people have the sense that what is natural is for the universe to be a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, and no one can understand it. The Hindu concept is very clear. Here is a great world culture which has always talked about billions of years.
Finally, the many billion year time-scale of Hindu cosmology is not the entire history of the universe, but just the day and night of Brahma, and there is the idea of an infinite cycle of births and deaths and an infinite number of universes, each with its own gods.
And this is a very grand idea. Whether it is true or not, is not yet clear. But it makes the pulse quicken, and we thought it was a good way to approach the subject.
And then the Chola bronzes in Tamil Nadu were very lovely to film, and gave us a visual approach to go along with the intellectual approach. It was also a way of de-provincialising our presentation. After all, we claim that science is an endeavor of the human species. To shoot the whole film in the United States or Western Europe would have been extremely provincial. We shot in Japan and 12 or 14 other countries, besides India. Let me also say that the subsidiary benefit for my wife and me is that we had a chance to visit India for the first time, and especially Tamil Nadu which we enjoyed enormously.
You mentioned the Chola bronzes and I see also that in your book COSMOS one of the chapters called ‘The edge of forever’ begins with a picture of Nataraja. Could you say something to explain its relevance in that chapter?The traditional explanation of the Nataraja is that it symbolises the creation of the universe in one hand and the death of the universe in the other – the drum and the flame – and after all, that is what cosmology is all about. So in addition to being artistically exquisite, the Nataraja provides exactly the kind of symbolism that we wanted. The Nataraja that is photographed in the book COSMOS is in a museum in Pasadena, California, but it will be returned to India at some specified time within the next decade.
What were your general impressions about India?I was absolutely delighted with Tamil Nadu. First of all, there was the sense of an intact cultural framework. I did not have the sense of people greatly alienated from their society – you certainly see a great deal of that in the West. I had a sense of people caring for each other, an intact social fabric, and technology coming along quite fast. Not just large industrial parks.
In a way what impressed me most was the widespread use of the bicycle, not only for carrying agricultural products and manufactures from one place to another, but also as a means for young people to visit neighbouring villages, and a sense of exuberant communication, because now people are not closed in a small village. They have a much wider range of places that they have access to.
We spent some time in Madras and in Bombay. But these were slow stages to get us to Tamil Nadu. We saw mainly tourist things which were certainly pleasant, but we did not have the sense of getting to know the people. We could have, but it did not work out that way, whereas in Tamil Nadu we got to know the people.
I will give you an example. Here we are at 6:30 or 7 in the morning – a group of us consisting of cameramen, soundmen, writers, directors, producers and me, who go marching single file by a pond in which there are lovely lily and lotus blossoms. Going to two small temples of the bull god (Nandi). A boy, less than 10 years old, saw us coming, looked at us, dove into the pond and came up near a lotus flower. He then swam back with it, climbed out of the pond, went up to my wife, gave her the lotus blossom and introduced himself, saying “Hello, my name is…” I forget what his name was. It was done with such elegance and charm and with no thought of reward, but just a sensibility which I found very impressive. Anyway we loved it. How colorful it was…
I must also say the sari is a kind of work of art, especially seeing hundreds of them all together. Also, women washing the saris gives a kind of swatch of color to the landscape… I thought it was wonderful… I had a sense of a healthy society. I didn’t know to what extent this is characteristic or not, but I was very impressed and would love to have a chance to go back…
Well, you know you have a standing invitation to visit India…Was that your first visit?Yes. I had been invited before by a number of people, including J B S Haldane, a British biologist in Bhubaneshwar. I knew him well in the last few years of his life. He even made me promise to visit him in Orissa, but he died before I had a chance to do so.
Did you know any other Indian scientists?Oh, yes. I knew Vikram Sarabhai who spent a year at Cambridge, Massachusetts, when I was on the Harvard faculty. I was a student of the world-renowned astrophysicist Subramanian Chandrasekhar at the University of Chicago. An old friend from the graduate school days in Kameshwar Wali, now a Professor of Physics at Syracuse University. For 17 years a close colleague who has been working with me in laboratory experiments on the origins of life is Bishun Khare. So I had a succession of fairly close friendships with Indians. I have always felt some natural affinity, I suppose.

Hindu History of Indonesia, Japan,Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam,Laos,China,Southeast Asia,Russia

Ancient Shiva temple discovered in Java, Indonesia

Estimated : 5000 BCE


Estimated Archaeologists in Indonesia have uncovered a 1,000-year-old temple that could shed light on the country's Hindu past.

The temple was found on the grounds of Yogyakarta's Islamic University as workers probed the ground to lay foundations for a new library, and they realized the earth beneath their feet was not stable.What it means ,is that Islamist destroyed temple and erected Muslim library there.

Digging revealed an extraordinary find: three metres underground were still-standing temple walls. Heavy rains then exposed the top of a statue of the god Ganesha in pristine condition.

A few weeks into the excavation, archaeologists are declaring the temple and its rare and beautiful statues an important discovery that could provide insights into Indonesia's pre-Islamic culture.

"This temple is a quite significant and very valuable because we have never found a temple as whole and intact as this one," said archaeologist Dr Budhy Sancoyo, who is one of the researchers painstakingly cleaning up the temple.

"For example, looking at where the statues are placed in this temple, they are in their original positions, unlike the other temples.

"This temple is important for understanding the culture of our ancestors."

A volcanic eruption is thought most likely to have covered the temple around the 10th century, about 100 years after it was built.

The eruption preserved its statues and reliefs in better condition than almost everything else discovered in Indonesia from that period, including the Borobodur and Prambanan temple complexes.
The library that was destined for the site will be redesigned to incorporate the Hindu temple.

HINDU HISTORY OF EGYPT- CLICK HERE
Hindu history of Malaysia-wikipedia.org
Malaysia has one of the largest ethnic Indian populations outside India, with an estimated 1.79 million people of Indian origin in the country. This amounts to roughly 7.1 percent of the total population of Malaysia which is about 25.3 million. An overwhelming portion of the Indians in Malaysia, about 89 percent, are Hindus.

History

Hinduism was prevalent in Malaysia prior to the arrival of Islam in the 15th century. Traces of Hindu influence remain in the Malay language,literature and art.
Indian settlers came to Malaysia from Tamil Nadu in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of these came to work as labourers onrubber plantations, while those who were English-educated occupied more professional positions. A minority of Indian immigrants to Malaysia during this time period came from Northern India and Sri Lanka.

Culture

Malaysian Hinduism is diverse, with large urban temples dedicated to specific deities, and smaller temples located on estates. The estate temples generally follow the tradition of the Indian region from which the temples' worshippers originate. Many people follow the Shaivite, or Saivite, tradition (worship of Shiva), of Southern India. However, there are also some Vaishnava Hindus in Malaysia as well, many of them of North Indian extraction, and these Hindus worship in temples such as the Geeta Ashram in Seksyen 52, Petaling Jaya, or the Lakshmi-Narayan Temple in Kampung Kasipillay, Kuala Lumpur. Services in these temples are usually conducted in Hindi and English.

Folk Hinduism is the most prevalent variety, including spiritualismand worship of local gods.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness also has a number of followers in Malaysia, and maintains temples in Kuala Lumpur,PenangTaiping and Seremban. The Ratha-Yatra festival is held once a year, when the Deities of Lord Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra are placed on a chariot which is pulled through the streets by devotees, accompanied by a party chanting the Hare KrishnaMahamantra.
There are also few devotees of Sri vaishnava(Ramanucharya)and Madhva Sampradayaa.. There are also a few followers of Sai Baba

Since the Second World War a revival of Hinduism has occurred among Indian Malaysians, with the foundation of organisations and councils to bring unity or to promote reform.
Hindu religious festivals

Some of the major Hindu festivals celebrated every year include Deepavali, Thaipusam.

Thaipusam celebration near Batu Caves.

Persecution

Between April to May 2006, several Hindu temples were demolished by city hall authorities in the country. On April 21, 2006, the centuries old Malaimel Sri Selva Kaliamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur was reduced to rubble after the city government sent in bulldozers ostensibly because of a violation of construction laws.
The president of the Consumers Association of Subang and Shah Alam in Selangor State has been helping to organize efforts to stop the local authorities in the Muslim dominated city of Shah Alam from demolishing a 17-year-old Hindu temple. The growing Islamic conservatism in Malaysia concerns many Malaysians who follow minority religions such as Hinduism.

Many Hindu advocacy groups have protested what they allege is a systemic plan of Temple cleansing in Malaysia. The official reason given by the Malaysian government has been that the temples were built "illegally." However, several of the temples were centuries old and predated many mosques which do not receive the same treatment.

On May 11, 2006, armed city hall officers from Kuala Lumpurforcefully demolished part of a 90-year-old suburban temple that serves more than 3,000 Hindus. The "Hindu Rights Action Force," orHINDRAF a coalition of several NGO's, have protested these demolitions by lodging complaints to the Malaysian Prime Minister . Their chairman, Waytha Moorthy Ponnusamy, said:
“These state atrocities are committed against the most underprivileged and powerless sector of the Hindu society in Malaysia. We appeal that this Hindu temple and all other Hindu temples in Malaysia are not indiscriminately and unlawfully demolished,”.

ANCIENT RUSSIA WAS A HINDU NATION-
Ancient Vishnu idol found in Russian town
Photo: Ancient Vishnu idol found in Russian town

MOSCOW: An ancient Vishnu idol has been found during excavation in an old village in Russia's Volga region, raising questions about the prevalent view on the origin of ancient Russia.

The idol found in Staraya (old) Maina village dates back to VII-X century AD. Staraya Maina village in Ulyanovsk region was a highly populated city 1700 years ago, much older than Kiev, so far believed to be the mother of all Russian cities.



"We may consider it incredible, but we have ground to assert that Middle-Volga region was the original land of Ancient Rus. This is a hypothesis, but a hypothesis, which requires thorough research," Reader of Ulyanovsk State University's archaeology department Dr Alexander Kozhevin told state-run television Vesti .

Dr Kozhevin, who has been conducting excavation in Staraya Maina for last seven years, said that every single square metre of the surroundings of the ancient town situated on the banks of Samara, a tributary of Volga, is studded with antiques.

Prior to unearthing of the Vishnu idol, Dr Kozhevin has already found ancient coins, pendants, rings and fragments of weapons.

He believes that today's Staraya Maina, a town of eight thousand, was ten times more populated in the ancient times. It is from here that people started moving to the Don and Dneiper rivers around the time ancient Russy built the city of Kiev, now the capital of Ukraine.

An international conference is being organised later this year to study the legacy of the ancient village, which can radically change the history of ancient Russia.

ANCIENT CHINA WAS A HINDU NATION-
Photo: The Chinese discover something in the mountains of Tibet and Lhasa. They are the bundle of strange documents!
The documents are sent to Dr.Ruth Reyna, University of Chandigarh, for translation and special comments. Dr.Reyna’s findings are eye opening. She declares that the manuscripts contain the following.
Directions for building interstellar spaceships with a method of propulsion that are essentially anti-gravitational. The method was similar to that of laghima, the power of man’s ego. It is described as ‘a centrifugal force strong enough to counteract all gravitational pull’. Hindu Yogis claim it is a man’s laghima that allows for his body to levitate (rise defying gravity).
 These machines are called astras.
       2.    The text also contains claims that ancient Indians could have sent detachments of men on to any planet.
     3.  The secrets of antima (cover of invisibility) and of garima (method of making one’s body as heavy as a mountain of lead) are revealed. The Chinese are including certain parts of this data in their space program research and study.
        4.  It has mentioned a planned trip to moon.

Advanced Science of Ancient Hindus.

Scientific Miracles in Hindu Scriptures.
Vedas and Puranas, which were revealed second time 6,000 years ago centuries ago, mentioned facts only recently discovered or proven by scientists. 
1. Sphericity of Earth:
The existence of rather advanced concepts like the sphericity of Earth and the cause of seasons is quite clear in Vedic literature. For example, the Aitareya Brahmana (3.44) declares:
The Sun does never set nor rise. When people think the Sun is setting it is not so. For after having arrived at the end of the day it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making night to what is below and day to what is on the other sideHaving reached the end of the night, it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making day to what is below and night to what is on the other side. In fact, the Sun never sets. Shape of Earth is like an Oblate Spheroid. (Rig VedaXXX. IV.V)

‘Earth is flattened at the poles’ (Markandeya Purana 54.12)

"Sixty-four centuries before Isaac Newton, the Hindu Rig-Veda asserted that gravitation held the universe together. The Sanskrit speaking Aryans subscribed to the idea of a spherical earth in an era when the Greeks believed in a flat one. The Indians of the fifth century A.D. calculated the age of the earth as 4.3 billion years; scientists in 19th century England were convinced it was 100 million years."

2. Polar Days and Nights
For the period when the sun is north it is visible for six months at the north pole and invisible at the south, and vice versa. - (Ibid Sutra)

Modern Science says about this:
June 21, 1999: Later today, at 19:49 UT (3:49 p.m. EDT), Earth's north pole points more directly at the Sun than at any other time during the year. For polar bears and other denizens of the Arctic it will be noontime, the middle of a 6-month long day, as the Sun climbs to 23 1/2 degrees above the horizon.
June 21st marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of winter in the Southern Hemisphere. In the North it's the longest day of the year. At mid-latitudes there is sunlight for over 16 hours. Above the Arctic Circle the sun doesn't set at all!

"He made this Earth fixed by different devices like hills and mountains in shape of pegs but it still rotates . Sun never sets; all parts of earth are not in Darkness." [RIG VEDA] 

3. The Movement of Earth:

"Earth rotates in two ways by the Will of Brahama, first it rotates on its axis secondly it revolves around sun. Days and Nights are distinguished when moves on its axis. Season change when it revolves around Sun". (Vishnu Puran)

4. Galaxies & Universe:

"There are suns in all directions, the night sky being full of them." (Rig Veda)

There are planets in all directions, but only visible in night sky (Rig Veda) 

Blue Sky is Nothing but scattered sunlight (Markandeya Purana 78.8)

The modern sceince says:
In the 1920s astronomers realised that our island universe, the Milky Way Galaxy, is not alone in space. Outside it are other galaxies, each containing thousands of millions of suns. One of these other galaxies is visible to the naked eye, as a faint fuzzy blob in the constellation of Andromeda. The Andromeda galaxy is similar in size and shape to the Milky Way and is our galaxy's nearest neighbour, 2 million light years (20000000000000000000000 km) away. Further away are other galaxies, too faint for the eye to see. With powerful telescopes, millions have been photographed. Remarkably, all the galaxies are fleeing from one another: the whole Universe is expanding. This is one of the key pieces of evidence that about 15000 million years ago, there was a beginning to the Universe, an immense explosion we call the Big Bang. The debris from the explosion is still flying apart. Earth is one of the cinders.

A galaxy is a giant assembly of many stars. We live on a planet which is in a group of 9 planets orbiting a star in one such assembly, a spiral galaxy we call the Milky Way (from the old Latin name Via Lactea). There are an estimated 50-100 billion galaxies in the Universe. Each galaxy has millions or billions of stars like our Sun, or bigger, smaller, newer, older, colder, hotter, exploding or imploding. It comprise of Millions of Planets like ours, or bigger, smaller, newer, older or hotter. 

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue
As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white
Hinduism is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology. The Hindu literature is work of a Genius.
(Dr. Steinn Sigurdsson, Pennsylvania State University)

It looks like that the writers of Vedas and Puran came from the future to deliver knowledge. The works of the Ancient Arya Sages is mind blowing. There is no doubt that Purans and Vedas are word of God.
(Scott Sandford , Space Scientist, NASA)

How could Hindus (Aryas) have possibly known all this 6,000 years ago, when scientists have only recently discovered this using advanced equipment which did not exist at that time? Such concepts were found only recently.
(Dr. Kevin Hurley of the University of California at Berkeley)

5. Mobility of Universe

Nothing in Brahmand is immovable (Sam Veda)

"NOTHING IS STATIC IN THIS WORLD NEITHER LIVING OR NON LIVING". (Brahmand Puran)

"Earth is divided in many plates as much as 14 of them in present Manavatara." (Brahmand Purana)

In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble used the 100" telescope (2.5 meters) at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California to detect variable stars in nebulae. He discovered that the stars he observed had the same characteristic variations in their brightness as a class of stars called Cepheid Variables. Earlier, astronomer Henrietta Levitt had shown there was a precise correlation between the periodic change in brightness of a Cepheid Variable and its luminosity. Hubble was able use this correlation to show that the nebulae containing the variable stars he observed were not within our own Galaxy; they were external galaxies far beyond the edge of our Milky Way.

6. Origin of Universe
Hindu concepts of Hiranyagarbha (golden womb) and Brahmanda (the first egg), are comparable to cosmic egg origin systems. The Bhagavata Purana, Brahmanda Purana, Vayu Purana among others contain references to the initial process of the origins of the universe as a cosmic egg. The twelve phase creation of the universe and the history of our Brahmanda is described in Srimad Bhagvatam.

The Hiranyagarbha Sukta announces: Hiranyagarbhah samavartatagre bhutasya jatah patireka asit, which means, Before creation existed the golden womb Hiranyagarbha, Lord of everything born. (Rig Veda 10.121.1)

The whole universe including sun, moon, planets, and galaxies was all inside the egg, and the egg was surrounded by ten qualities from outside. (Vayu Purana 4.74-75)

Before creation, it was only the braham that was everywhere. There was no day, night or sky. First I created the waters. And in the waters I sowed the seeds of brahmanda. the great egg. From this seed there developed a egg which began to float on the waters. This egg is known as Brahamand (Universe)

Modern Science says about it:
This is the structure of the Universe created by scientists after a research of many years. If we take a look at the COBE results, we notice the uneven pattern in the radiation stemming from the decoupling of matter and radiation when the Universe was a mere 300,000 years old. The blue and magenta patterns represent areas that were slightly cooler and slightly warmer than average. These variations are at a level of about 1:100,000, but they must have been enough to seed the structures we see today.

Finally we came to conclusion that Universe is shaped like a egg but this information was already present in Hindu Literature.
(Alan Kogut, NASA)

7. Ozone Layer
Protection of Earth

After the formation of the earth planet, Brahama created atmosphere in group of seven , from that formation oceans began to exist, and the first form of life appeared on the earth planet. Atmosphere was created as protective skin of earth (Shrimad Bhagwatam)

"Amazing isnt it Vedas and Puaran are divine source of knowledge said Dr. Donald Mitchell of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. It is hard to believe that these facts were already mentioned in hindu books thousands of years back, in the time when Human didn't knew much about Astronomy.

The Vishnu Purana gives a quite an accurate description of tides: 
"In all the oceans the water remains at all times the same in quantity and never increases or diminishes; but like the water in a cauldron, which in consequence of its combination with heat, expands, so the waters of the ocean swell with the increase of the Moon. The waters, although really neither more nor less, dilate or contract as the Moon increases or wanes in the light and dark fortnights"..

8. About Creation of Moon

"In the initial stage of creation of Universe some creation material slipped from the hands of Brahma and collided with earth resulting in the formation of Moon". (Brahmand Purana)

Modern Science says
At the time Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, other smaller planetary bodies were also growing. One of these hit earth late in Earth's growth process, blowing out rocky debris. A fraction of that debris went into orbit

Secret Society of the Nine Unknown Men of ASHOKA

The oldest "Secret Society" on earth, The NINE UNKNOWN MEN also known as NUM, founded by Ashoka the Greatest of all Emperors, an old Indian ruler ca. 269 BCE to 232 BCE..

Indian Army troops guarding the Indo-China border have reported sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) in the Ladakh region. Its well known UFO activites for many years now. Both the countries knew about it . Is it the underground UFO Base of Last kept Advanced Scientific Hindu Technology ? You Decide !

Unknown Men of ashoka a secret society of India dating back to two millennium is the greatest Mystery in India which is believed to be the indian version of Atlantis dating back to 273 BC to the regime of the ashoka indian emperor the grandson of Chandragupta who was the first person attempted to unify India... ashok was hindu by birth and converted to Buddhism after the battle of kalinga which claimed around one lakh men.....when war was over Ashoka ventured out to roam the eastern city and all he could see were burnt houses and scattered corpses. This sight made him sick and he cried the famous quotation, "What have I done?" Upon his return to Pataliputra, he could get no sleep and was constantly haunted by his deeds in Kalinga. The brutality of the conquest led him to adopt Buddhism under the guidance of the Brahmin Buddhist sages Radhaswami and Manjushri and he used his position to propagate the relatively new philosophy to new heights, as far as ancient Rome and Egypt.

According to the legend, upon his conversion to Buddhism after a massacre during one of his wars, the Emperor founded he society of the Nine to preserve and develop knowledge that would be dangerous to humanity if it fell into the wrong hands. Some versions of the story include an additional motivation for the Emperor to conceal scientific knowledge: remnants of the Rama Empire, an Indian version of Atlantis, which according to Hindu scripture was destroyed by
advanced weaponry 15,000 years ago.

Asoka founded the most powerful secret society on earth: that of the Nine Unknown Men. It is still thought that the great men responsible fro the destiny of modern India, and scientists like Bose and Ram believe in the existence of the Nine, and even receive advice and messages from them. One can imagine the extraordinary importance of secret knowledge in the hands of nine men benefiting directly from experiments, studies and documents accumulated over a period of more than 2,000 years. What can have been the aim of these men? Not to allow methods of destruction to fall into the hands of unqualified persons and to pursue knowledge which would benefit mankind. Their numbers would be renewed by co-option, so as to preserve the secrecy of techniques handed down from ancient times.

>>>One of the palm leaf manuscripts they intend to decipher is the Amsu Bodhini, which, according to an anonymous text of 1931, contains information about the planets; the different kinds of light, heat, color, and electromagnetic fields; the methods used to construct machines capable of attracting solar rays and, in turn, of analysing and separating their energy components; the possibility of conversing with people in remote places and sending messages by cable; and the manufacture of machines to transport people to other planets!<<<

Examples of the Nine Unknown Men making contact with the outer world are rare. There was, however, the extraordinary case of one of the most mysterious figures in Western history: the Pope Sylvester II, known also by the name of Gerbert d'Aurillac. Born in the Auvergne in 920 (d. 1003) Gerbert was a Benedictine monk, professor at the University of Rheims, Archbishop of Ravenna and Pope by the grace of Ortho III. He is supposed to have spent some time in Spain, after which a mysterious voyage brought him to India where he is reputed to have aquired various kinds of skills which stupified his entourage. For example, he possessed in his palace a bronze head which answered YES or NO to questions put to it on politics or the general position of Christianity. According to Sylvester II this was a perfectly simple operation corresponding to a two-figure calculation, and was performed by an automaton similar to our modern binary machines. This "magic" head was destroyed when Sylvester died, and all the information it imparted carefully concealed. No doubt an authorized research worker would come across some interesting things in the Vatican Library. In the cybernetics journal, _Computers and Automation_ of October 1954, the following comment appeared: "We must suppose that he (Sylvester) was possessed of extraordinary knowledge and the most remarkable mechanical skill and inventiveness. This speaking head must have been fashioned 'under a certain conjunction of stars occring at the exact moment when all the planets were starting on their courses.' Neither the past, nor the present nor the future entered into it, since this invention apparently far exceeded in its scope its rival, the perverse 'mirror on the wall' of the Queen, the precursor of our modern electronic brain. Naturally it was widely asserted that Gerbert was only able to produce such a machine head because he was in league with the Devil and had sworn eternal allegiance to him." Had other Europeans any contact with the society of the Nine Unknown Men? It was not until the nineteenth century that this mystery was referred to again in the works of the French writer Jacolliot. Jacolliot was French Consul at Calcutta under the Second Empire. He wrote some quite important prophetic works, comparable, if not superior to those of Jules Verne. He also left several books dealing with the great secrets of the human race. A great many occult writers, prophets and miracle-workers have borrowed from his writings which, completely neglected in France, are well known in Russia.

Jacolliot states catagorically that the Soceity of Nine did actually exist. And, to make it all the more intriguing, he refers in the this connection to certain techniques, unimaginable in 1860, such as, for example, the liberation of energy, sterilization by radiation and psychological warfare. Yersin, one of Pasteur and de Roux's closest collaborators, was entrusted, it seems, with certain biological secrets when he visited Madras in 1890, and following the instructions he received was able to prepare a serum against cholera and the plague. The story of the Nine Unknown Men was popularized for the first time in 1927 in a book by Talbot Mundy who for twenty-five years was a member of the British police force in India. His book is half-fiction, half scientific inquiry. The Nine apparently employed a synthetic language, and each of them was in possession of a book that was constantly being rewritten and containing a detailed account of some science.

Each of the Nine is supposedly responsible for guarding and improving a single book. These books each deal with a different branch of potentially hazardous knowledge. Traditionally, the books are said to cover the following subjects:

Propaganda and Psychological warfare.
Physiology, including instructions on how to perform the "touch of death." One account has Judo being a product of material leaked from this book.
Microbiology, and, according to more recent speculation, Biotechnology. In some versions of the myth, the waters of the Ganges are purified with special microbes designed by the Nine and released into the river at a secret base in the Himalayas.
Alchemy, including the transmutation of metals. In India, there is a persistent rumor that during times of drought or other natural disasters temples and religious organizations receive large quantities of gold from an unknown source. The mystery is further deepened with the fact that the sheer quantity of gold throughout the country in temples and with kings cannot be properly accounted for, seeing that India has few gold mines.
Communication, including communication with extraterrestrials.
Gravitation. Book 6 The Vaiminaka sastra is said[Please name specific person or group] to contain the instructions necessary to build a Vimana, sometimes referred to as the "ancient UFOs of India."
Cosmology, the capacity to travel at enormous speeds through spacetime fabric, and time-travel; including intra- and inter-universal trips.
Light, the capacity to increase and decrease the speed of light, to use it as a weapon by concentrating it in a certain direction etc.
Sociology, including rules concerning the evolution of societies and how to predict their downfall.

वेदों के विज्ञान के आगे कहीं नहीं टिकता आज का विज्ञान

आज का विज्ञान और वैदिक विज्ञान कौन है महानआज के युग को वैज्ञानिक युग कहा जाता है जहां हर दिन नए-नए खोज हो रहे हैं। मोबाइल फोन के नए-नए फीचर्स और अंतरीक्ष में भेजे जाने वाले सेटेलाइट से जुड़ी बातों को सुनकर हम हैरान होते रहते हैं।
चिकित्सकों द्वारा किसी बीमार व्यक्ति की किडनी बदलने और मृत व्यक्ति की आंखों से किसी व्यक्ति की आंखों में रोशनी देने की घटना को जानकर दांतों तले उंगली दबा लेते हैं। इन सब के बावजूद आज का विज्ञान वेदों में बताए गए विज्ञान की ऊंचाइयों को नहीं छू पाया है।
यहां हम वेदों में बताए गए कुछ ऐसे वैज्ञानिक और चिकित्सकी घटनाओं को उल्लेख कर रहे हैं जिसे पढ़कर आप भी मनेंगे कि सच में आज का विज्ञान वेदों के विज्ञान के सामने कहीं नहीं ठहरता।

आधुनिक चिकित्सा विज्ञान की एक बड़ी उपलब्धि मानी जा रही है हृदय का प्रत्यारोपन। विश्व का पहला मानव हृदय प्रत्यारोपण 3 दिसंबर 1967 में दक्षिण अफ्रीका के केप टाउन शहर में क्रिस्टियन बर्नार्ड के द्वारा किया गया था। आधुनिक चिकित्सा विज्ञान में किसी व्यक्ति की किडनी फेल होने पर स्वस्थ्य व्यक्ति की किडनी से बीमार व्यक्ति को जीवनदान दिया जा सकता है।

आंखों की रोशनी गवां चुके व्यक्ति को किसी दूसरे की आंख देकर फिर से दुनिया दिखाई जा सकती है। लेकिन अभी भी आधुनिक विज्ञान के पास ऐसी तकनीक नहीं है कि सिर धड़ से अलग हो जाए तो उसे जोड़कर पुनः जीवित कर दिया जाए।

लेकिन वेदों में कई ऐसे उदाहरण मिलते हैं जब सिर से धड़ अलग होने के बाद भी व्यक्ति को पुनः दूसरा सिर लगाकर नया जीवन दिया गया। इसका पहला उदाहरण दक्ष प्रजापति हैं जिनका सिर भगवान शिव ने काट दिया था। बाद में देवताओं की प्रार्थना पर भगवान शिव ने बकड़े का सिर लगाकर दक्ष को पुनः जीवित कर दिया।
आधुनिक चिकित्सा विज्ञान के लिए चुनौति है वेदों का यह विज्ञानभगवान गणेश के सिर पर हाथी का सिर भी इसी तरह के उच्चतम चिकित्सा विज्ञान का उदाहरण। वेदों में इस तरह के कई और भी उदाहरण मिलते हैं जिसमें सिर कट जाने के बाद दूसरा सिर लगाकर व्यक्ति को पुनर्जीवित कर दिया गया।

ऋग्वेद में एक उदाहरण ऐसा भी मिलता है जिसमें देवताओं के चिकित्सक अश्विनी कुमार ने एक व्यक्ति का सिर काट लिया और फिर घोड़े का सिर लगाकर उसे पुनः जीवित कर दिया। काम पूरा होने के बाद घोड़े के सिर को हटाकर उनका अपना सिर धड़ से जोड़ दिया।


वैदिक विज्ञान में सेरोगेसी
संतानहीन माता-पिता को संतान सुख दिलाने के लिए विज्ञान ने एक नई पद्घति को खोज निकाला है जिसे सेरोगेसी पद्घति कहते हैं। सरोगेसी शब्‍द लैटिन के 'सबरोगेट' से आया है जिसका अर्थ होता है अपने काम के लिए किसी और को नियुक्त करना।
सेरोगेसी दो प्रकार की होती है ट्रेडिशनल सरोगेसी और जेस्‍टेशनल सेरोगेसी। जेस्‍टेशनल सेरोगेसी पद्घति में माता-पिता के शुक्राणी और अंडाणु को एक परखनली में निषेचित करके किसी अन्य स्त्री के गर्भ में पहुंचा दिया जाता है। इस विधि से कई लोग संतानसुख पा रहे हैं।

वैदिक विज्ञान में सेरोगेसीलेकिन आधुनिक विज्ञान की इस खोज से कहीं आगे की बात वैदिक विज्ञान में मौजूद है। आपने पढ़ा होगा कि भगवान श्री कृष्ण के बड़े भाई हैं बलराम जी। इनके जन्म के विषय में माना जाता है कि जब देवकी गर्भवती हुई तो कंश से गर्भ की रक्षा के लिए रोहिणी ने देवकी के गर्भ से भ्रूण को निकालकर अपने गर्भ में पहुंचा दिया और देवकी वासुदेव की सातवी संतान का जन्म रोहिणी के गर्भ से हुआ।
बिना तेल और इंजान के चलने वाला विमान
बिना तेल और इंजान के चलने वाला विमानआधुनिक विज्ञान की चलाने के लिए काफी इंधन खर्च करना होता है। हवाई जहाज के इंजन में खराबी आ जाने के कारण कभी भी दुर्घटना ग्रस्त होने की आशंका रहती है।
अब हम वैदिक विज्ञान की करें तो रामायण में एक ऐसे विमान का जिक्र आया जिसे चलाने के लिए न तो इंधन की जरूरत थी और न ही इंजन में खराबी की आशंका। यह चालक के मन के अनुसार आसमान में उड़ान भरती थी। इसमें एक और खूबी यह थी कि यात्रियों की संख्या के अनुसार यह अपने आप छोटा या बड़े आकार का हो जाता था।
यह यान पहले कुबेर के पास था और फिर रावण के पास आया। रावण का वध करने के बाद जब राम अयोध्या लौटे तो उनका दल बल इसी विमान से अयोध्या आया था। इस विमान का नाम था पुष्पक विमान।

पुरुष यूं ही नहीं पहनते जनेऊ, कारण जानेंगे तो हैरान रह जाएंगे

yagnopavit importance of janeuआपने देखा होगा कि बहुत से लोग बाएं कांधे से दाएं बाजू की ओर एक कच्चा धागा लपेटे रहते हैं। इस धागे को जनेऊ कहते हैं। जनेऊ का धार्मिक दृष्टि से बड़ा महत्व है।

जनेऊ का निर्माण दो तूड़ियों से किया जाता है जिसमें तीन -तीन लपेट होते हैं। तीनों लपेट क्रमशः ब्रह्मा, विष्णु और महेश इन तीनों देवताओं के प्रतीक माने गए हैं। धार्मिक दृष्टि से माना जाता है कि जनेऊ धारण करने से शरीर शुद्घ और पवित्र होता है।

जबकि वैज्ञानिक दृष्टि से जनेऊ स्वास्थ्य और पौरुष के लिए बहुत ही लाभकारी होता है। यह हृदय रोग की संभावना को कम करता है। चिकित्सा विज्ञान के अनुसार दाएं कान की नस अंडकोष और गुप्तेन्द्रियों से जुड़ा होता है।


मूत्र विसर्जन के समय दाएं कान पर जनेऊ लपेटने से शुक्र की रक्षा होती है। जिन पुरुषों को बार-बार बुरे स्वप्न आते हैं उन्हें सोते समय कान पर जनेऊ लपेट कर सोना चाहिए। माना जाता है कि इससे बुरे स्वप्न की समस्या से मुक्ति मिल जाती है।

कान पर जनेऊ लपेटने से पेट संबंधी रोग एवं रक्तचाप की समस्या से भी बचाव होता है। माना जाता है कि शरीर के पृष्ठभाग में पीठ पर जाने वाली एक प्राकृतिक रेखा है जो विद्युत प्रवाह की तरह काम करती है।

यह रेखा दाएं कंधे से लेकर कमर तक स्थित है। जनेऊ धारण करने से विद्युत प्रवाह नियंत्रित रहता है जिससे काम-क्रोध पर नियंत्रण रखने में आसानी होती है।

देवी देवताओं की कुल संख्या कितनी है 33 करोड़ देवी-देवता ? नहीं, 33 कोटि(प्रकार)

indian god and goddess in vedasलोगों का मानना है कि हिंदू धर्म में 33 करोड़ देवी-देवता हैं, लेकिन ऐसा है नहीं। यह एक गलतफहमी के कारण हुआ है। शास्त्रों में, खासकर वेदों में 33 कोटि देवी-देवताओं का उल्लेख है। इस कारण से कहा जाता है कि देवी देवताओं की संख्या 33 करोड़ है।

जबकि कोटि का अर्थ श्रेणी या प्रकार भी होता है और करोड़ भी। तो लोगों ने उसे हिंदी में करोड़ पढ़ना शुरू कर दिया जबकि वेदों का तात्पर्य 33 कोटि अर्थात 33 प्रकार के देवी-देवताओं से है। (चाहें तो उच्च कोटि और निम्न कोटि जैसे शब्दों की मिसाल से भी समझ सकते हैं।)
यह भी उल्लेखनीय है कि 33 करोड़ देवी देवताओं के नामों का कहीं उल्लेख नहीं मिलता जबकि 33 देवों का जिक्र हर कहीं मिल जाता है। अर्थ को गलत संदर्भों में समझने के कारण 33 प्रकार के देव, 33 करोड़ देवी देवताओं में बदल गए।

हिन्दू धर्म ग्रंथों में प्रकृति पूजा को प्रधानता दी गयी है, क्योंकि, प्रकृति से ही मनुष्य जाति है ना कि मनुष्य जाति से प्रकृति है। अतः प्रकृति को धर्म से जोड़ा जाना और उनकी पूजा करना सर्वथा उपर्युक्त है। यही कारण है कि सूर्य, चन्द्र, वरुण, वायु, अग्नि को भी देवता माना गया है और इसी प्रकार कुल 33 प्रकार के देवी देवता हैं।
33 कोटि अर्थात श्रेणी के देवताओं में आठ वसु, ग्यारह रुद्र, बारह आदित्य और दो इंद्र और प्रजापति शामिल है। कुछ विद्वान इंद्र और प्रजापति के स्थान पर दो अश्विनीकुमारों की गणना भी करते हैं। तैंतीस देवताओं की गणना 12 आदित्य, 8 वसु, 11 रुद्र और दो प्रजापति या अश्विनीकुमार को मिला कर पूरी होती है।

बारह आदित्य हैं : धाता, मित्, अर्यमा, शक्र, वरुण, अंश, भग, विवस्वान, पूषा, सविता, त्वष्टा, एवं विष्णु।

आठ वसु हैं : धर, ध्रुव, सोम, अह, अनिल, अनल, प्रत्युष एवं प्रभाष।

ग्यारह रूद्र हैं
 : हर, बहुरूप, त्र्यम्बक, अपराजिता, वृषाकपि, शम्भू, कपर्दी, रेवत, म्रग्व्यध, शर्व तथा कपाली।

2 अश्विनी कुमार हैं
। इस प्रकार देवों की संख्या 33 हो जाती है।

VEDAS,SCIENCE.#VEDA ,#VEDICSCIENCE

While talking of Vedas,Sanatan Dharma,Hinduism is considered a communalism in INDIA, Originator of VEDAS, Western pledge it for a science and consider a journey where science is moving to. Whether Indians forget Vedas, IT IS A LIGHT,WILL CONTINUE AS THOUSAND OF sun ,WILL ENHANCE WHOSOEVER UNDERSTANDS IT.In 1925, the world view of physics was a model of a great machine composed of separable interacting material particles. During the next few years, Schrodinger and Heisenberg and their followers created a universe based on super imposed inseparable waves of probability amplitudes. This new view would be entirely consistent with the Vedantic concept of All in One.
