Spirituality s the basis of science.

1. Varaha Avatar

It is the time when Lord Vishnu takes the shape of a boar and lifts the earth out of water in order to save it. That may be an amazing story but what is even more fantastic is the shape of the earth in it – it is round! Which means that more than 10,000 years ago, Indians knew that the Earth was round. On the other hand, Europe only confirmed that after seeing Apollo pictures from space. Also, Geography is called Bhugol in Hindi in which gol means round. They call the earth Jagat meaning that which moves. This signifies that Ancient Indians always knew about earth being round and its movement.

2. Arundhati and Vasishtha

In the ursa major (Big Bear) constellations one of the stars is actually twin stars. According to one of the old traditions of South India, the married couple is supposed to go out and look at this particular star called Arundhati and Vashishta.

The rotation in most twin star systems is one star stays in the middle and the other revolves around it. But that doesn’t sound ideal for a husband and wife. That’s why they look at Arundhati Vasishtha which has a unique method of rotation in which both stars revolve around each other.

But what is amazing is how the ancient Indians found out that a dot is a twin star that too the one rotating in a particular manner and all this without a telescope.

3. Antares

It is the 15th brightest object in the sky yet yet the ancient of India called it the Jeshtha meaning the biggest the oldest the eldest. Why would they call it the biggest when it is only 15th brightest. Turns out they were right. It is 40,000 times bigger than our Sun !

In fact it is the biggest known objects to men. Imagine a group of people managing to tell that a star in the sky is the biggest which appears only as a dot in the sky from the Earth. Think how would ancient Indians even know that? Strange, right?

4. Rust proof pillars.

There are pillars in India which are rust proof the most famous one is in front of Qutub Minar. It is a thousand years old pillar and it is still not rusting. The other one is near Bangalore in Kollur where there is 750 cms of rain for 6-8 months in a year. It has been there from 2,400 years. What is even more interesting is that it was not built by any experts but the tribals of that area to welcome Adi Shankaracharya when he came to their village. So, it can be said that the knowledge was not only limited to learned Brahmins of ancient India. It was known by all.

5. Mystery of Zinc

India held the sole knowledge of how to remove zinc from zinc ore for 4000 years. It is really difficult as zinc becomes liquid from the ore at 997° C but that same zinc becomes gas at 1000° C. So, you only have 3° C window to pull out zinc. What ancient Indians did was practice a unique form of distillation in order to collect zinc. All the zinc in the world was produced in India only for 4000 years. Nobody could make it until they stole the recipe. A Britisher named William Champion made the first zinc distillery in Great Britain in 1543. Before that if you wanted zinc, you had to come to India.

6. Encryption in Sanskrit verses

“Gopibhagya Madhuvrata Srngisodadhi Sandhiga |

Khalajivitakhatava Galahalarasandhar ||”

[The fortune of the Gopi, the destroyer of the demon Madhu, protector of cattle, the one who ventures into the ocean depths, destroyer of all evil doers, one with plough on the shoulder and the bearer of nectar, may you protect us.]

Do you find anything unusual about this Sanskrit shloka ?

7. Vasco da Gama

In Goa, there is a place called Vasco da Gama which is called so because the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama came there and discovered India. Let me tell you the true story which is there in Vasco da Gama’s own journal which is present in Lisbon today. Vasco da Gama had the biggest ship in all of Europe and went in search of India but was afraid of open sea. So he travelled keeping close to the coast. There was no way he would have crossed the Arabian sea on his own. Lucky for him, He met a person from Gujarat called Kanha who was a trader and had ships 12 times the size of Vasco da Gama’s ship.Three ships of Kanha accompanied the ship of Vasco Da Gama.(Kanha in Gujarati means Krishna Kanaya. This person escorted Vasco Da Gama to India. So, technically India was not discovered by Vasco da Gama. Ancient Indians brought this gem of a place in front of the world.

WE COULD GO ON AND ON AS THE AMOUNT OF HISTORY AND KNOWLEDGE INDIA HAD WAS PHENOMENAL. ANCIENT INDIANS HAD THIS KNOWLEDGE 5,000 YEARS AGO. WHEN PEOPLE IN EUROPE USED BOW AND ARROW TO HUNT, ANCIENT INDIANS WERE DOING UNIQUE DISTILLATIONS. BUT HOW DID THEY KNEW SO MUCH ? LET ME TELL YOU THAT ALL THE SCIENTISTS WERE SAINTS WHO DID MEDITATION. SO WHEN YOU HAVE MEDITATED FOR SO LONG, YOU ARE NO LONGER LIMITED BY PHYSICAL MEANS. HYPOTHETICALLY, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE DEPTH OF THE ATOM, YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND REACH THERE. SO THE BASIS OF SCIENCE IS SPIRITUALITY AND ANCIENT INDIANS KNEW IT.

Discoveries by ancient Indians.

1. 1. The ancient Indians secretive of their knowledge sonically encrypted mathematical formulae into their devotional hymns to Lord Shri Krishna and also recorded historical data in the codified lyrics. Obviously that was the base for the knowledge of encryption of data also. The oldest available evidence of the use of Kaṭapayādi System is from Grahacāraṇibandhana by Haridatta in 683 CE.
2. 2. The “ka-ta-pa-ya-di” rule used by ancient Indian mathematicians and grammarians is a tool to map names to numbers. Writing the consonants of the Sanskrit alphabet as four groups with “Ka, Ta, Pa, Ya” as the beginning letters of the groups we get
3. 3. Now, each letter of the group is numbered from 1 through 9 and 0 for the tenth letter. Thus, ka is 1, sa is 7, ma is 5, na is 0 and so on. So to indicate the number 356 for example one would try and come up with a word involving the third, fifth and sixth letters of the groups like “gaNitam” or “lESaca”. However, in the Indian tradition, the digits of a number are written left to right in the increasing order of their place value – exactly opposite the way we are used to writing in the western way. Therefore 356 would be indicated using letters in the 6th, 5th, and 3rd positions of the group, e.g. “Trisulam”.
4. 4. Now the interesting fact is that when you start numbering the consonants with the respective numbers from go = 3, pi = 1, bha =4 , ya = 1 , ma = 5 , duv = 9 and so on. You will end with the number 31415926535897932384626433832792. This is the decimal equivalent of the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, Which you call it as “pi” in modern calculations. The above number gives the accurate value of pi/10 correct to 31 decimal places.
5. 5. Zinc was extracted in India as early as in the 4th to 3rd century BCE. Zinc has a boiling point of 907 °C at which it becomes liquid and vaporizes at 1000 °C . The extraction of zinc becomes difficult under a window of 93 °C. In a normal furnace, the product comes out and is accumulated during the distillation process. In such cases, zinc vaporizes and goes out. Indians reversed the process of distillation. They put the heat on the top and an ice bath (coal) at the bottom. So zinc, on getting heated at the top will come down, solidify in the coal and thus the zinc was extracted.
6. 6. This technology of zinc manufacture is also described in several Indian alchemical works of the mediaeval period including the 13th century Rasa Ratna Samuccaya. The word used in this document to describe the distillation process involved is ”tirakpatnayantra”, which translated literally, means "distillation by descending". This discovery was hidden by us for 4000 years, but later a Chinese stole the secret and an English stole it from the Chinese. William Champion made the first zinc distillation in Great Britain in 1543.
7. 7. Mizar and Alcor are twin stars in the Ursa Major constellation. Thousands of years ago the ancient rishis could identify two tiny spots in the sky as a twin star system. They named it Arundhati-Vasistha. Mizar is known as Vasistha and Alcor is known as Arundhati in traditional Indian astronomy.
8. 8. The pair is considered to symbolize marriage. Vasistha and Arundhati were a married couple. Arundhati and Vasistha were considered an ideal couple, symbolizing of marital fulfillment and loyalty.
9. 9. In most twin stars system one star is stationary and other rotates around it, while Arundhati and Vasistha both rotate in synchrony, to tell that both husband and wife must do all things in sync. The greatness of our ancestors / scholars was that they could know that such a twin star system exists and how they rotate even without the telescope. A point to be noted Women in India had a higher stature in society. Its Arundhati-Vasistha and not Vasistha-Arundhati. 

ikigai

WHAT IS IKIGAI?

• In Japanese, ikigai is written by combining the symbols that mean “life” with “to be worthwhile.”
• “Translates roughly as ‘the happiness of always being busy.’”
• “There is a passion inside you, a unique talent that gives meaning to your days and drives you to share the best of yourself until the very end. If you don’t know what your ikigai is yet, as Viktor Frankl says, your mission is to discover it.”
• “Our ikigai is different for all of us, but one thing we have in common is that we are all searching for meaning. When we spend our days feeling connected to what is meaningful to us, we live more fully; when we lose the connection, we feel despair.”
• “Our ikigai is hidden deep inside each of us, and finding it requires a patient search. According to those born on Okinawa, the island with the most centenarians in the world, our ikigai is the reason we get up in the morning.”
• “Once you discover your ikigai, pursuing it and nurturing it every day will bring meaning to your life.”
• “They have an important purpose in life, or several. They have an ikigai, but they don’t take it too seriously. They are relaxed and enjoy all that they do.”
• “One thing that everyone with a clearly defined ikigai has in common is that they pursue their passion no matter what.”

sama veda

Two primary Upanishads of Hinduism are embedded inside the Samaveda – the Chandogya Upanishad and the Kena Upanishad. Both are notable for the lifting metric melodic structure.

Yajna was taken by the vedic scholiasts to mean operation.
this Yajna or operation was carried out always to make improvement upon the earlier situation and so considered as the noblest act.
yajno vai sresthamam karma.
1st operation was standardization of language.
2nd operation was yajna chandas that is composition of hymns by means of standardized language. The literary couplets composed during second operation became the first ever dharma.
yajnen yajnamayajanta devastani
dharmani prathamanyasan
te ha nakam mahimanah sacanta
yatra purve sadhyah santi devah.
 the first ever dharmas i.e. literary compositions in the literary history of mankind.
Yaska an ancient Indian Vedic scholar alludes the origin of the Vedas as 
saksatkrtdharmanah rsyoh babhuva Nir 
There were rsis to whom was revealed dharma.
As a result of the second operation a great many couplets were composed by enlightened rsis on various aspects of scientific truths unravelled by them with regard to consciousness and physical matter.

out of the 1875 mantras of Sama veda 1800 are borrowed from Rig veda. 264 form the first part Purvarchika are repeated syllable to syllable and word to word in the second part Uttararcika. three mantras are repeated twice in the second part.
The various deities are the subject matter of the hymns addressed by the various seers. there are 45 deities in all. 
The deities are the specialised fields of study of various seers. One and the same deity is specialised by more than one seer. one visulized as visvaveda jataveda kavi purohita grahapati hotai.e. consumer of ahutis offered to yajna. pota pracheta. 
1875 rcas composed by 184 seers were set to tune of music by 285 seers coming from different families.

• Try using memory tricks 

most of the time they're just a result of the brain's normal aging process. Unless they're interfering with your ability to manage day-to-day activities, a few lifestyle changes should help you turn your senior moments into just occasional annoyances.

eg.

A True Senior Moment

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.

The two elderly gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant, and it was really great. I'd recommend it very highly.'

The other man said, 'What's the name of the restaurant?'

The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What's the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know … the one that's red and has thorns.'

'Do you mean a rose?'

'Yes,' the man said, then he turned toward the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

kadai ninRu amarar kazhal thozhudhu nALum
idai ninRa inbaththarAvar pudai ninRa
nIrOdha mEni nedumAlE nin adiyai
yArOdha vallAr avar

(samsAris (dwellers of materialistic realm))
amarar kadai ninRu – standing at the doorstep of other deities
nALum – at all times
kazhal thozhudhu – falling at (their) feet

(without realising salvation)
idai ninRa inbaththar Avar – they will realise the pleasures lying in-between (such as heaven etc)
pudai ninRa nIr Odham mEni nedumAlE – Oh the supreme being who is having the form of ocean which is surrounding this world!
nin adiyai – your divine feet
Odha vallAr avar yAr – is there anyone who can think of? (there is no one)

vyAkyAnam

kadai ninRu – standing at the door step of various deities at the places of their dwelling. kadai  – door step.

amarar – these deities are called as amarar (immortals) as they live for a few years longer [than we]. vEdham says “na brahmA nESAna:…” (not brahmA, not ISan [the deity for creation and destruction as ordained by emperumAn] have seen SrIvaikuNtam). Not realising that these deities also get destroyed one day, the samsAri [dweller of materialistic realm] thinks that they are immortals.

amarar kazhal thozhudhu – the samsAri keeps falling at the feet of such deities, one after another. These deities, unlike emperumAn, are not capable of granting all wishes of a samsAri. Hence the samsAri keeps falling at the feet of each of these deities to get each wish granted.

nALum thozhudhu – these deities keep asking for various things to satisfy themselves such as infant or goat or rooster etc and are difficult to worship. Thus, until they grant him his wish, the samsAri has to keep holding on to their feet, for a long time. These deities are unlike emperumAn who had mercifully said in SrI bhagavath gIthA 9-26 “pathram pushpam palam thOyam…” (worship me with a leaf, or a flower or a fruit or water). Even after worshipping them in such a hard way, what can these deities grant?

idai ninRa inbaththar Avar – they [those who worship these deities] will get to experience comfort in swargam (heaven) which is neither here nor there, and is more of a hurdle. They do not enjoy you as in paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam) like mukthars and nithyars. They do not stay here (on earth) like us, worshipping you and expecting to reach SrIvaikuNtam soon. Since it [heaven] is a place full of egotists and they stay for a long time, as said in mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 56 “kadikkamalaththil uLLirundhum kANgilAn kaNNan adikkamalam thannai ayan” (even though brahmA is residing in the fragrant lotus flower which grows out of emperumAn’s navel, he does not get to worship the divine feet of emperumAn) they do not worship you to get uplifted and merely enjoy the mediocre comforts such as swargam etc. How ignorant is this!

But why do they carry out such a foolish act? It is because they do not know your greatness, says the AzhwAr…

pudai ninRa nIrOdha mEni – AzhwAr mercifully describes about the divine form of emperumAn which removes the ennui of those who have dharSan (audience) of his divine form. His divine form has the complexion of the ocean which surrounds the earth. Is it only the divine form?

nedumAlE – Oh one who has immeasurable greatness of AthmasvarUpam (nature of emperumAn’s soul)!

nin adiyai OdhavallAr avar yAr – Is there anyone here who, knowing that you are greater than everyone else, attains your divine feet as the ultimate benefit through worship etc? There are many in this world who attain other deities for lowly benefits. The opinion here is that even among those who worship emperumAn, there are very few who consider him as both the means and the benefit. Hasn’t emperumAn himself said in bhagavath gIthA 7-19 “vAsudhEvas sarvam ithi sa mahAthmA sudhurlabha:” (those great souls who consider emperumAn as everything are very rare)!

There is another interpretation to this pAsuram.

amarar – other deities such as brahmA, rudhra et al

kadai ninRu – holding on to the door of your temple

kazhal thozhudhu – worshipping your divine feet

nALum idai ninRa inbaththar Avar – instead of enjoying you as the ultimate goal, they will seek positions such as brahmA, rudhra, indhra etc, similar to asking for loin cloth from a wish fulfilling tree such as kaRpakam (a celestial tree). AzhwAr feels sad about the ignorance of such people. Hasn’t nammAzhwAr too divinely mentioned in his thiruviruththam 92 “ninnai viNNOr thAL nilam thOyndhu thozhuvar nin mUrththi pal kURRil onRum kANalum aNgol enRE vaigal mAlaiyum kAlaiyumE” (the celestial entities will worship you everyday both in the morning and in the evening, with their feet firmly rooted to the ground [so that you would get rid of their enemies and] not because they wish to see one of your varied forms)! nammAzhwAr conveyed the same meaning in bhUdhaththAzhwAr’s verse “nin adiyai yAr Odha vallAr” in his verse “nin mUrththi pal kURRil onRum kANalum Angol enRE”
