hello every1
do read dis guys...............its regarding our vedas n their relation to modern scientific theories
Science in Vedas
The
core foundation of Hindu belief is that Vedas contain source of all
knowledge – physical or metaphysical. However in last 100 odd years,
this belief has come under scrutiny due to the advances that modern
science claims to make.
An entire group of Vedic 'experts' have
stood up to prove that Vedas contain early man theories and are not
compatible with modern discoveries. These include communist historians
propelled by commentaries on Vedas by western indologists like Max
Muller, Griffith et al and a new breed of intellectuals who initiate all
research with assumption that 'old means defective'. However in modern
era of religious marketing, another group has come up which would go to
any length to discover scientific errors in Vedas. This is the group
which would want 800 million Hindus to lose faith in Vedas and their
religion and embrace what they believe is the final message of God. Yes I
am referring to Islamic and Christian evangelists.
While both
these groups of evangelists are propelled by vision of making everyone
in world a follower of their respective Holy Books, the situation is
even more desperate for Quran zealots. This is because a bulk of Islamic
evangelists believe that Jesus will come again towards end of the world
after which they would reach Paradise forever. And an important sign of
Jesus' coming is conquest of India. I do not know the original source
of this superstition, but this remains a primary motivator for most
Islamic evangelists today.
Thus every now and then, we would see
references to 'Scientific Errors in Vedas'. The typical pattern would be
english translation of some mantra followed by a Veda Mantra reference.
For example
"Earth is flat" – Yajur Ved 32.8
Often the
reference and English translation are both pointing to sources best
known to authors of these works. But for layman, these create a lot of
confusion and doubt over relevance of Vedas. While I would shy away from
thrusting my personal faith on Vedas, I would like to provide some
excerpts from Vedas that provide clues to deep scientific concepts
hidden within them.
Unfortunately, due to thousand years of
slavery, burning of our universities and libraries by barbarians and
then demands for tackling issues of survival first, there remains a lot
of work to be done to rediscover the Vedic sciences. However, sufficient
clues exist to justify why this rediscovery would be worthwhile. In
this article, I shall provide some brief snippets of such clues.
A
point of note: Vedas not being dogmatic in nature and containing
eternal truths, do not try to spoon-feed us. Thus Vedas would contain
seeds for all forms of knowledge and would urge humans to explore
further. Because in the Vedic framework, its our efforts that can
provide us bliss.

now read these original mantras explaining d present day scientific theories
MOTION OF EARTHRig Veda 10.22.14
"This
earth is devoid of hands and legs, yet it moves ahead. All the objects
over the earth also move with it. It moves around the sun.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCERig Veda 8.12.28

"SCIENCE OF BUILDING SHIPS AND AIRPLANES"Swami
Dayanand has detailed Mantras regarding these in his Vedic commentary
and Introduction to Vedas" (1876). The scientists of IISc concluded that
the mechanism of airplane as suggested by Dayanand is feasible. The
first manned plane was built 20 years after death of Swami Dayanand.
The
verses are difficult to translate in English here, but readers are
advised to review "Introduction to Vedas" by Swami Dayanand or
interpretations of following mantras: Rig Veda 1.116.3, 1.116.4,
10.62.1, 1.116.5, 1.116.6, 1.34.2, 1.34.7, 1.48.8 etc.
SCIENCE OF TELEGRAPHYRig Veda 1.119.10

the help of bipolar forces (Asvins), you should employ telegraphic
apparatus made of good conductor of electricity. It is necessary for
efficient military operations but should be used with caution."
