1)Hundreds and thousands of Indians have been hired for Scientific and technological research in the Western world. 2) Our ancient ragas, I mean classical music, is increasingly becoming popular since the last two or three decades. Thanks to people like Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan the illustrious son of the legendary Baba Ustad Allauddin Khan. 3) Aryabhata was the first proponent of zero and area of triangle = half base x altitude. This has been acknowledged by several mathematicians from West, including France. 4) The past is largely in the dark because Sanskrit has been slowly dumped into garbage by our predecessors over the passage of time. 5) The illustrious Indians of today bear testimony to the fact that ancient India is not about mere barbarians only but had some equally talented people. Our past India had people like satirical creator Birbal, mathematical astronomer Aryabhata, mathematician Baraha Mihir, philosopher Kabir, visionaries like Akbar, Bahadur Shah Zafar, Swami Vivekananda and so on.
6) Mockery of the past is a result of our ignorance of the past, mainly due to language barrier.

vascado, tell how the Vedic Hindus gave correct calculations about all the 5 planets in astrology - budh, shukra, mangal, guru & shani ?.
how come all their calculations matches with present day scientific results ?.
just by watching the sky, how vedic rishis discerned these 5 planets from stars ?.
how did they come to the conclusion that these 5 are lanets not stars ?
and how do these 5 vedic planets match exactly with 5 planets of solar system ?.

You just claim anything without providing an iota of evidence. You say they gave correct calculations about all the five planets. What is the proof for it ? The fact is they proved their ignorance by classifying Sun and Moon as planets instead of Star and Satellite. That erroneous claim is itself enough to negate any theory which claim their perfectness. It is not that the Vedic rishis only discerned planets or Stars. All over the World, ancient Asronomers had a feel of it although it was with limitations and their discoveries were far from perfect as proved by modern Science which is yet to grapple the enormity of our Solar system.

Again exposing yourselves as the biggest idiot by saying planets are not visible by naked eye in ancient time. Give me a break and I do not know I was dealing with such an ignorant. Infact planets were clearly visible in those times when there was less pollution in the air and not just Indians, every Country in the World had a pulse of the star constellations in the Universe. Remember Automobiles and most of technological advancement came to the World only last century and please do not here utter drivel by claiming that 1ndians are behind those inventions too. Ofcourse the side effects of such inventions was acute carbon emissons which have made the sky heavily polluted today not allowing us to trace star and planets with our naked eye. It was not the case in yesteryears. Infact Greek and Egyptian ancient Astronomers were ahead of their times. It is not that everything they predicted was right because there was no way to cross verify it. Infact planets like Saturn, Neptune, Pluto etc. were later discoveries. Those ancient Astronomers discovered within their limitations and many were not right when compared to modern discoveries.

Ancient India excelled in may parts of science which are at par with modern science if not greater. But Mughal and British rulers destroyed everything. Mughals only knew two things wine and owman. British were clever. They have stole many ancient indian science materials. Their ancestors living in India now do not acknowledge this which is evidend from their comments in this forum..

Whenever verses related to astronomy were found in the Vedas, there was a tendency of colonial historians to label them as interpolations, added later. The Vedas are considered apaurusheyas (not by created by men) and no Hindu would care/dare to tamper them. Even today, I observe that in the Veda Pathasalas, the Vedas are taught as they are first for many years and only many years later will a few students become eligible to learn the meaning. (Can you think of an American historian deliberately editing their Declaration of Independence?)
The Vedic Indians were well versed in astronomy and the early yagnyas, customs prayers were tied to seasons and astronomical events.
Tilak presents an argument that the new Year began in those days with the spring equinox and that the devayanam or uttarayanam also began with the spring equinox. (Even today, among the Telugu and Kannada people, the new year ((Y)Ugadi) begins in Spring). Tilak tells us that the shift of the new year from the spring equinox to the winter solstice, occured later. He tells us that the word Uttarayanam is not found in the Rg Veda.
Tilak tells us that the period called Devayana originally consisting of the period from the spring equinox to autumn equinox, over time, came to be identified with Uttarayana which is from winter solstice to summer solstice.
In Varahamihira’s time, the spring equinox coincided with the end of Revati and the summer solstice was in Punarvasu. In the Pancha Siddhanthika, Varahamih

Planets are different from star and satellites. I think you are aware of this simple scientific fact. Moreover where does Sun go around the Earth. It is only the earth that goes around the Sun and the Sun moves in its own orbit. That is the reason I say this whole Vedic Astrology is an anthropocentric conceit where every thing is considered from the focal point of earth. It predictes on geo centric theory rather than on helio centric theory.

If all Planets revolve around the Sun in Vedic astrology, why should Sun be a Planet ?

Well Science never claims anything as absolute truth or a fact unless it is experimentally proved. It is open to revisions based on experiments and it is only in that way conclusions are arrived at wheres rel1gious texts and their proponents act in a totally opposite way and claim whatever they propose is absolute truth not to be questioned. It is in this way Science is different from rel1gious driven drivel. I have always an open mind and if you provide me any evidence for all your tall claims, I am prepared to revise my opinion. But I cannot accept a claim with another claim saying that everything has been lost due to invaders. That proves literally nothing.

tilak decoded by veda The characteristics of the Polar region which, as listed by Tilak, are as follows. 18
1. The sun rises in the south. 2. The stars do not rise and set, but revolve, or spin round, in horizontal planes completing one round in 24 hours. The northern celestial hemisphere is alone overhead and visible during the whole year; and the southern or the lower celestial world is always invisible. 3. The year consists of only one long day and one long night of six months each. 4. There is only one morning and one evening, or the sun rises and sets only once a year.

Now coming to your law of karma. Please clarify my doubt. According to your Karma, we cannot either sympathize or empathize with the impoverished and diseased just because they are only reaping the consequences of the sins of their earlier birth and even providing succour would be a sin for helping the sinners. Similarly, you cannot find fault with even a murderer because he is only taking revenge for the injustice that was heaped upon him/her in their earlier life and even punishing them is a sin. Now you just introspect upon yourself the validity of this law of karma in our life.

Has this logic sunk into your pea sized brains or still they need some drilling ?

Ancient India's main achievement is Ayurvedic Healing using specific herbs for specific ailments. Even in this, the use of cow's urine is debatable.
Other so called achievements are speculative, otherwise, why are there no Pyramids in India? Not even half the size of Giza? The ancient Sumerians had organized knowledge centuries before India, and Egyptians mapped the entire Stars to their Pyramids.
And why nothing like Balbek? Any artisan can carve sculptures but the Balbek Rock Platform cannot be cut from a single rock with such precision even today, in fact the shows like "Ancient Aliens" prove a lot more anomalies in other civilizations than just Ancient India.
We Indians are made to look unevolved and foolish by the current government's ridiculous claims. Our heritage is more spiritual, about inquiry into the Soul, about Yoga etc. We are a big fat ZERO compared to the West in terms of methodical research, scientific methods of rational inquiry, calculus, rocket propulsion, electro-magnetics, lasers metallurgy, nano tech, microprocessors, software algorithms, manufacturing, nuclear physics, telephony, wireless etc. The West is light years ahead and the Indian government wants to talk of some speculative past of plastic surgery.

by Tameem Saied on Jan 09, 2015 08:18 PM
Achinta, I agree that there is a lot of observed knowledge from Ancient India, but I totally disagree that this was scientific or technological knowledge. I have studied "Shastras" and I am aware ofr the real purpose of our texts like R_amayana and M_ahabharata: They are symbolic repositories about K_undalini Yoga, for raising K_undalini from Sacral Chakra to the Pineal Gland.
P_andavas are the 5 Chakrasm, Karna is the 6th Chakra. Shree_K_rishna is the Mind and Arjuna is the Ego, the Chariot is the Physical Body etc. But all of this is magnificent spiritual knowledge. It can coexist with Western discoveries and modern inventions but it is a blatant lie told by the chauvinists that there was actual science in our past as per the Ages they mention.
In reality, Tamil maybe far older than Sanskrit.
Lokmanya Tilak has already proven that Aryans came from the Arctic.
There is a rich body of knowledge related to post-Atlantis civilizations from "flying g_ods" who came to Earth [Annunaki] from other Stars/Dimensions.
All Elite rulers in the West belong to secret societies who have these insights.
Reality is far, far more complex and advanced than what mischievous chauvinistic Mind Control wants us to believe, just to propagate a selective agenda.
The "Vimanas" for intance could have been from other Star Systems: Pleiades, Orion, Sirius etc. Not some made in India stuff. For if they were, we would have found some pieces at least.

But let me clarify, I respect your faith, your 4 books and our general Ancient Texts a lot, and I feel no organized group should hijack your faith. Right now, a lot of negative karma is being generated by your organized groups which can afflict the whole nation. Even Francois Gautier has accepted my views about national karma, initially he was just happy at the suffering of my people as being karmic but look at his more recent views on why invasions occurred etc.

Too bad all your Ancient Science could not stop the invasions. Too bad that proper construction was not used like the Pyramids, else no invader would have been able to destroy anything.
The standard practice of teaching maths started gained momentum only after DESCARTES who formulated ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY. Most of the MATHEMATICALPHYSICS/STATISTICS rests on CARTESIAN AND POLAR CO-ORDINATES ONLY. Even during Ramanujam's times it was EUCLID GEOMETRY that ruled and Ramanujam mastered it even while he was studying eighth standard. In the absence of systematic teaching of mathematics the claims are only purely academic which required practical application and it can be said that PYTHAGOREAN FORMULA HAD ABEEN APPPLIED without resorting to the actual FORMULATOR. Even now in Tamilnadu in the local language square feet is being mentioned as SQUARE. Thus without a formal scientific background because of application people work out mathematics. Hence one should confuse application of various formulae and its originator.
