OM
BHARATA: Root
of all Western Civilization
National Language of Bharata:
SanskritVeda means knowledge
Sound of original Vedic mantra is OM
Bharata: The original name of Modern India
The ancient nation Bharata started to shape its destiny by adopting a democratic process of governance, after 15 thousands years of deep rooted great heritage and culture. The secret of India’s success with the experiment in democracy can be found in ancient wisdom. India was leading the world in scientific activity at least until the seventh century. There was a fall in Indian science in the medieval ages owing to foreign invasion, subjugation and exploitation.
Read the History of Ancient MathematicsDuring the criminal Islamic rule, India’s history, religion, philosophy and scriptures were all interpreted from the Western paradigm and ridiculed to the extent that Indians lost faith in anything that had roots in Indian soil. People who have studied ancient scriptures are wonder-struck by the achievement of Bharata Hindus and the knowledge they possessed that are in tandem with modern scientific research. Expressions of scientific opinions contrary to popular or religious beliefs were common in the Vedic age. The fact that there was scarcely any religious persecution bears testimony to the spirit of tolerance in Bharata Hindu culture, except ancient caste system. A brief overview of some remarkable achievements of ancient Hindus will throw light on the depth of their knowledge in Science and Mathematics.
Read the History of Ancient MathematicsMr.Aryabhatta concluded that the earth is round and it revolves round the sun and on its own axis”. In a jocular fashion it is said that India’s contribution to the field of mathematics is zero. But the concept of zero in mathematics is an outstanding contribution of Bharata Hindus to the rest of the world. The Hindus developed the numerical system and the decimal system introduced by Hindus, and was brought to the Western Europe in the 12th century. Ancient Hindus laid the foundation for mathematics and science.
The ancient text of Agastya Samhita describes the method of making electric battery, and that water can be split into oxygen and hydrogen. When we talk of gravity, Newton comes to our mind, but in the text Surya Sidhantha dated around 400 AD, Bhaskaracharya described it stated. “objects fall on the earth due to one force. The Earth, planets, constellations, moon and sun are held in orbit because of that one force”.
Sanskrit has perfect phonetics among world languages. Indian linguist Pinnani’s grammar is an excellent book showing the depth of development of languages. Sir Monier William’s, a 17th century Sanskrit scholar, wrote “The Pinnani grammar reflects the wonderful capacity of the human brain which till today no other country has been able to produce except Bharata (India). Modern educational of the Western world have roots in ancient India. The great historian Mr.Will Durant said; “India is the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of European languages. Sanskrit was the mother of our modern philosophy. Sanskrit is also the most suitable language for computer software - a report in Forbes magazine, July 1987.
Pachisi is a board game that originated in ancient India; it is described as the national game of Bharata. The Pachisi game was played between Pandava and Kaurava kings around 3,200 BC where Pandavas lost their kingdom for 13 years. Kaurava kings refused to honor their pledge to return the Pandavas kingdom on 13th years, which led the Mahabharata war defeating entire Kaurava Army. It is played on a board shaped like a symmetrical cross. A player's pieces move around the board based upon a throw of six or seven Cowrie shells (a sea snail), with the number of shells landing aperture upwards indicating the number of places to move. In the Aztec ruins of Mexico vestiges of a similar game have been found called Patolli. The westernized version of the game is spelled Parcheesi.
Chess (Shataranja or Ashta Pada) was invented around 600 BC in Bharata (ancient India) and spread to Persia, Central Asia. In 400 BC Chess became popular thought out ancient India among the rulers. Polo was first played in Persia and ancient India between the years 600 BC to 1 AD. Rajasthan Kings master the Polo Match eventually spread throughout Northern India. In Manipur, Polo Match was traditionally played with seven players to a side. Later Polo Match was played in Cambodia under King Suryavarman, Sri Vijaya Empire. In 1860 British popularized the Polo Match, however, the British never the won Polo Match with Rajasthan Kings.
Albert Einstein: we owe a lot to the ancient Indians, who taught us basic science and mathematics, without which no worthwhile modern scientific discovery could have been made.
Mark Twain: Bharata is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most attractive materials in the history of man are treasured up in Bharata (India) only.
Will Durant: Ancient India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all." The Vedic Cosmology is yet another ancient Vedic science which can be confirmed by modern scientific findings and this is acknowledged by well known scientists and authors, such as Carl Sagan and Count Maurice Maeterlinck, who recognized that the cosmology of the Vedas closely parallels modern scientific findings.
Voltaire: the famous French writer and philosopher stated; "Pythagorus went to the Ganges to learn geometry." A statue of Pythagoras is seen in Varanasi. 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. The theorem bearing the name of the Greek mathematician Pythagorus is found in the Shatapatha Brahmana as well as the Sulba Sutra, the Indian mathematical treatise, written centuries before Pythagorus was born.
Jean-Claude Bailly: French astronomer Jean-Claude Bailly corroborated the antiquity and accuracy of the Vedic astronomical measurements as "more ancient than those of the Greeks or Egyptians." And that, "the movements of the stars calculated 4,500 years ago, does not differ by a minute from the tables of today."
Lin Yutang: Chinese scholar and author wrote that, "Ancient India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics and philosophy”.
Julius Robert Oppenheimer: the principle developer of the atomic bomb, stated; "The Vedas are the greatest privilege of this century." During the explosion of the first atomic bomb, Oppenheimer quoted several Bhagavad-Gita verses from the 11th chapter, such as: "Death I am, cause of destruction of the worlds…….."
The ancient Indian kingdom of Taxila once regarded as the educational capital of the world by the Greeks, and Central Asians
Ruins of Taxila / Takkasila; the Vedic Philosophy educational Center of Ancient India (550 BC – 326 BC), where once taught 60 various subjects
In 1980; Taxila (Takshashila or Takkasila Universsity) was declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site with its multiple locations
The World's first Takshila University was established at at Taxila, western ancient India in 550BC. Over 10,000 students from many parts of the world, including ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Central Asians and Jewish studied on more than 60 subjects at Takshashila university. The Macedonian Alexander’s invasion to ancient India in 326 BC ended the ancient educational learning center of Takshashila. The word Takshashila in Sanskrit means “belonging to the King Taksha”. In 450 BCE, the modern Greek Historian Herodotus with many Greek prospective students arrives in Taxila to study at Takshashila University and makes reference to Greek influence and his fellow Greek students to become the great philosophers. The language used in the area is bilingual for the better part of a 200 years, with Greek being the second language. Basically Takshashila was the Vedic learning center and their famous teacher was Chankya during the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta. Some scholars date Takshashila's existence back to the 6th century BCE or 7th century BCE. It became a well-known higher learning center at least several centuries before AD and continued to attract students from neighboring old world, mainly Central Asians and Mesopotamians until the destruction of the city in the 3rd century BCE. Generally a student entered Takshashila at the age of sixteen. The Vedas of secretive science, philospohy, meditation, ayurvedic medicine, vimana and other Eighteen Arts, which included skills such as archery, and elephant lore, Tantra yoga, rule of law and military. Today, Taxila is situated at the western region of the Islamabad to the northwest of Rawalpindi, Pakistan; ancient western Bharata (India)
Ruins of 94 sq miles Complex of Nalanda University Eastern India. In 1948-49, China Invaded Tibet destroying over 6,000 monasteries, stealing millions of Nalanda University books
Ancient Nalanda University - during its hey days was a flourishing residential university with over 10,000 students and 1,500 teachers. The world's second largest Nalanda University was established in 427 AD, Eastern ancient India, it is located about 55 miles south east of Patna, one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education in recorded history. The Muslim invaders took 6 months to burn the Nalanda University in 1197AD under Bakhtiyar Khilji and it had over 9 million books. At least half of the volumes; a few million books were secretly transferred to Nepal and Tibet for preservation. Zhang Wen Ming, I Ching, Yi Jing who translated of a large numbers of ancient scriptures from Sanskrit into Chinese. Nalanda was one of the world's first residential universities; in an area of 94 sq miles, it had dormitories for students. In its heyday it accommodated over 10,000 students and 2,000 teachers. The university was considered an architectural masterpiece, and was marked by a lofty wall and one gate. Nalanda had eight separate compounds and ten temples, along with many other meditation halls and classrooms. On the grounds were lakes and parks. The library was located in a nine storied building where meticulous copies of texts were produced. The subjects taught at Nalanda University covered every field of learning, and it attracted pupils and scholars from Korea, Japan, China, Tibet, Burma, Thailand, Combodia, Mayalsia, Indonesia, Central Asia, Mesopotamia, Greeks and Eastern Roman Empire. The Tang Dynasty Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang left detailed accounts of the university in the 7th century. The Nalanda’s famous teacher was Aryabhatta (476AD–550AD). The destruction of Nalanda University was the end of ancient Indian science, mathematics, astronomy, alchemy, and anatomy mainly due to Muslim rule for over 400 years until the British East India company arrived. Presently Indians are getting back to their anicent Indian milestone in science and Mathematics.
1930's Bose-Einstein Theory: Dr. Satyendra Nath Bose, the first Indian Nuclear scientist: A Bose-Einstein condensate owes its existence to peculiarities of quantum physics, including some important distinctions between two fundamental types of matter - Fermions and Bosons. Fermions includes electrons and the quarks that make up Protons and Neutrons within the nucleus of an atom. Bosons include the particles that carry fundamental forces; these include the Photons that carry light and other forms of electromagnetic forces. Two Americans and a German-born scientist shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics for "the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates."
In 1948: India establishes an Atomic Energy Commission for exploration for Uranium Ore. Only one years after the India’s independence.
First Atomic Bomb: Dr. Ramanna Homi Bhabha, a theoretical physicist & chief architect of India's nuclear programs. He orchestrated the effort superbly and conducted it with such a degree of secrecy that when the 15 Kilotons of nuclear bomb was detonated on 18th May 1974, it caught the world by surprise. Only 27 years after the India’s independence and USA took over 166 years.
Second Atomic Bomb: On 11 May 1998, the Buddha's birth anniversary, India tested three nuclear devices at Pokhram, Rajasthan. Two days later, two more tests were conducted and officially declared itself a new "nuclear weapons state." India's defiant move is a serious challenge to the international nonproliferation regime and a very disturbing event for South Asian security and stability.
Atomic Test on Supercomputer: India has become one of the three countries in the world capable of testing Nuclear weapons without physically exploding them. The "Teraflop" range of supercomputer that are capable of carrying out a thousand billion mathematical calculations per second (USA, Japan and India, not even Russia).
India’s First Hydrogen Bomb: India possessed a hydrogen bomb, the Scientists declared after conducting the Pokhran II tests in 1999, and also having a thermo-nuclear device.

Left: Brahmi Script, refers to the oldest members of the Brahmic family of alphabets. On the right: Native Canadian Abugida Script. The Indo-European, Greek, Latin, and Indo-Persian languages were evolved from one of the Sanskrit, specifically Brahmic Script. The Brahmic scripts were inscribed on the Ashoka pillars across ancient India, Central Asian regions.
The Greeks formed their Greek scripts from the Brahmic alphabets around 600 BC.
Some of the ancient Indian Sanskrit was brought to ancient Rome around 800 BC by a group of immigrants from Central Asian region; Latin begins as a local tongue of a small territory on the Tiber River, called Latium. It soon spreads over a larger part of ancient Italy and with the Roman Empire. The Latin of Rome becomes the literary model of the new Empire. The golden age of ancient literary Latin occurs between 80 BC-14 AD. The most famous authors of this time are Livy, Cicero, Catullus, Vergil, Horace, Caesar and Ovid. The Latin knows as another time of glory that ends in the middle of the second century AD with authors like Tacitus, Juvenal, Pliny the Younger and Suetonius. The Latin period (2 AD-6 AD) coincides with the decline of the Roman Empire.
Origin of ATOM; The earliest references to the concept of atoms date back to ancient India in the 6th century BCE, originally proposed by a sage Kanada (or Kana-bhuk, literally, atom-eater); a Hindu philosopher. The Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools developed elaborate theories of how atoms combined into more complex objects (first in pairs, then trios of pairs). The references to atoms in west emerge a century later by Leucippus whose student, Democritus, systemized his views. In around 450 BCE, Democritus coined the term atomos (for atoms), which meant "uncuttable". Though both the ancient Indian and Greek concepts of the atom were based purely on philosophy, modern science has retained the name coined by Democritus. Vaisheshika, or Vaises.ika, (Sanskrit) is one of the six Hindu schools of philosophy (orthodox Vedic systems) of India. Historically, it has been closely associated with the Hindu school of logic, Nyaya. Vaisesika espouses a form of atomism and postulates that all objects in the physical universe are reducible to a finite number of atoms.

Universe
Power
of Ancient SanskritThe creative principle of the universe is called Brahma in Sanskrit. Brahma, who is depicted as emerging from the navel lotus of Vishnu, is a metaphor for all of creation: its laws, its inherent intelligence, and its consciously manifested potencies which operate as sages, saints, rishis, devas, celestials, and divine beings of all kinds of nature, temperament and description. Vishnu is the Sanskrit name given in the Upanishads to that which is the sum and substance of all the manifested and manifested realms. Vishnu, which is neither created nor destroyed but transcends creation of life. Brahma creates, operates in the form of this universe for trillions of years, and then dissolves back into Vishnu. Once universe is dissolved another Brahma appears to begin the process again.
Since the term "Brahma" does not appear in the Vedas, its creation stems from the Sanskrit work "Brih", which means "'to grow" or "to expand." In this way, it became synonymous with Hiranyagharba: The Golden Egg of Creation. Brahma is the name for the principle that creates all of the manifest realms. Since
the Vedas proclaim in the Purusha Suktam that "three quarters of this universe are in indestructible realms above," Brahma with his finite duration is connected to the realms of the universe, which we inhabit, which are subject to creation and dissolution. Dr. Carl Segan: Video:
Brahma made certain "beings" solely by the power of his mind and thought. These beings are called the mind-born sons of Brahma. The state of their consciousness is summarized by the title Brahma Rishi: Seer with the Understanding of Brahma. Brahma Rishis can confer this state of consciousness upon others who prove themselves capable of knowing the universal knowledge. To further understand the concept of Brahma and his relation to the universe, it is important to view the cosmos through the lens of the Vedic descriptions of the life of the universe as interpreted in human years. Here are cycles of time as recorded in the Vedas and Upanishads.
Small Yuga:
2,000 years. The axis of the earth spends 2,000 years in an astrological sign and the moves on to the next sign, going backwards through the signs of the zodiac. Since we are finishing the Pisceaen cycle, we are ready to enter the Aquarian cycle for the next 2,000 years. We commonly refer to entering Aquarius as the "dawning of the age of Aquarius."Complete Cycle of Small Yugas: 24,000 human years. This is the amount of time needed for the earth to spend 2,000 years in each sign of the zodiac.
The
Great CycleIn addition to the earth's axis moving in an arc as it travels through the signs of the zodiac, there is another cycle. This is a cycle that involves the revolution of the entire solar system around the Central Sun of the Galaxy. The orbit is elliptical rather than circular. To make the elliptical movement of the solar system around a great central point more understandable, the analogy of "seasons" is used. This is a useful analogy because changes in overall states of consciousness are represented as "seasons" through which the solar system passes on its journey
.Here are the various ages of the universe as measured in human years.
Satya Yuga: 1,728,000 yearsTreta Yuga: 1,296,000 years Dwapara Yuga: 864,000 years Kali Yuga: * Present Yuga is 432,000 years Total Time for One Cycle or Manvantara: 4,320,000,000 years This is called "A Day of Brahma" and is followed by a night of equal length One complete Cycle of day and night of Brahma is: 8,640,000,000 years 360 of these days are called "One Year of Brahma is": 3,110,400,000,000 years 100 of these years constitute the total life of Brahma called Maha Kalpa: 311,040,000,000,000 years* The year 1998 is 5090 years from the beginning of Kali Yuga of the long cycle. For the short cycle, winter is ending with the entrance of the planetary axis into Aquarius, which begins the season of spring for the shorter, 24,000-year cycle.
At the end of a "Maha. Kalpa" or cycle of creation, Shiva manifests his destructive influence and the universe is dissolved. The entire universe becomes spiritualized. The ancient texts calls this is the cosmic dissolution. All the levels of the manifest universe disappear. After a great cosmic rest cycle, another creative cycle begins as a new Brahma emerges out of the navel of Vishnu and the universe is created as new. Another item of importance is that one who has achieved the highest level of conscious realization is said to realize and become one with Brahma. At this point, all individuality as we know it disappears. The Soul or Atman returns to its source from which it will not return of its own volition.
Sat: Truth.
Chid: Spiritual mind.
Brahma: This is entire cosmos, with all of its contents, the state of existence all conscious. In other words, Brahma = Cosmo = Universe.
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva: In the ancient Sanskrit texts, they’re no proper reference of supreme Gods, but scientifically identified the universe, its creation, preservation and destruction (super nova). The Hindu apocalyptic theory involves the trinity of Brahma, the universe creator, Vishnu, the preserver, and shiva, the destroyer. However, in the later centuries, people of Bharata worshiped Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva as their Supreme Gods. Most Hindus believe in reincarnation, so time is cyclical, when the cycle of universe comes to the end, one could expect Vishnu’s final incarnation descending from the haven. All the evil will be destroyed, purity will be restored and the earthly living beings begin anew when a lotus grows out of Vishnu’s navel and from it Brahma appear to start all new cycle of creation.
Hindu: The word Hindu is a geographical expression derived from the river Sindhu (Hind in Persian and Indus in Greek). The Vedic scripts did not give any name to the set of beliefs about Hindus. It is significant that there is no exact Sanskrit equivalent to the word religion. Around 1000 BC, the heritage represented by the Vedas and the Smritis (system of individual and social law) acquired the name of Sanatana Dharma or Eternal Religion. The idea is conveyed by such terms as Dharma (basic law with various connotations), Mata (opinion or faith) and Marga (path to seek the faith). In eighteenth century the religion professed by Hindus came to be known as Hinduism. In fact, Hinduism is not a religion in the sense of Buddhism or Christianity and it is not ascribed to a single founder or prophet. It has become customary to say that Hinduism is a way of life and Vedas scientifically explains the universe and its creation. A Hindu can be a Monotheist or Monist and an idol worshipper, a vegetarian or meat eater.
Hinduism: Definition is based on the doctrine of Karma and the theory of Reincarnation & Transmigration of souls with in the Earth’s ionic atmosphere (radiation belt). Broadly speaking a Hindu may be defined as a Theist who accepts Karma and believes in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. In the Vedas these dogmas not explicitly expounded, such as Salvation or Moksha or Mukti, means to be liberated from the painful cycle of births and deaths. Moksha also means the preservation of the individual soul or jivatma as a separate entity enjoying eternal bliss or its extinction (
Nirvana).Upanishad: Sacred tests of spiritual and philosophical nature. The word Upanishad comes from the Sanskrit verb sad (to sit) and the two prepositions up and ni (under and at).

Mount KailasMount Kailas is the oldest pilgrimage site on Earth. In the Himalayas of ancient India, it is near the source of the sacred Ganges River, and it has been a holy travel destination for a mind-boggling 15,000 years. The Mount Kailas peak is pyramid shaped, with four sides facing north, south, east and west and historians believe that the pyramids of Egypt were designed to emulate Mount Kailas. The ancient Hindus describes Mount Kailas is the holy place of god Shiva. Buddhists say walking the 32-mile circuit around the Mount Kailas, a three-day trek called a Kora, washes away the sins of one lifetime. Make the arduous trek 108 times and you’ll reach Nirvana !
