Contribution of Rishis to Modern Science

The modern science (or is it truly modern by any means) has its beginning in the minds of rishis who for the benefit of mankind gave the knowledge of the esoteric philosophy as well as the materialistic physical sciences to this world. After a long gap due to illness and holidays, I was compelled to post this article compiled by a fellow Internet Hindu Rajeev Srinivasa.
Here is the link for the complete article and the first few lines to get you started. Though such an information is available on the internet, this article, when looked at from a nationalistic point of view makes you wonder about the nature of dharma or hindu philosophy that gave rise to such stalwarts. What is that all inclusive way of life that encourages every aspect of human mind to think in every possible dimension?. Can there ever be another medium to achieve this knowledge other than the dharmic way of life.

ARYABHATTA
(476 CE) MASTER ASTRONOMER AND MATHEMATICIAN

Born in 476 CE in Kusumpur ( Bihar ), Aryabhatta's intellectual brilliance remapped the boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of 23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called "Aryabhatiyam." He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space - 1000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416 and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, the Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi to the Indians, "This value has been given by the Hindus." And above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent. Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics.

BHASKARACHARYA II
(1114-1183 CE)

GENIUS IN ALGEBRA
Born in the obscure village of Vijjadit (Jalgaon) in Maharastra, Bhaskaracharya' s work in Algebra, Arithmetic and Geometry catapulted him to fame and immortality. His renowned mathematical works called "Lilavati" and "Bijaganita" are considered to be unparalled and a memorial to his profound intelligence. Its translation in several languages of the world bear testimony to its eminence. In his treatise " Siddhant Shiromani " he writes on planetary positions, eclipses, cosmography, mathematical techniques and astronomical equipment. In the " Surya Siddhant " he makes a note on the force of gravity: "Objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. Therefore, the earth, planets, constellations, moon, and sun are held in orbit due to this attraction." Bhaskaracharya was the first to discover gravity, 500 years before Sir Isaac Newton . He was the champion among mathematicians of ancient and medieval India . His works fired the imagination of Persian and European scholars, who through research on his works earned fame and popularity.

ACHARYA KANAD
(600 BCE)

FOUNDER OF ATOMIC THEORY
As the founder of " Vaisheshik Darshan "- one of six principal philosophies of India - Acharya Kanad was a genius in philosophy. He is believed to have been born in Prabhas Kshetra near Dwarika in Gujarat . He was the pioneer expounder of realism, law of causation and the atomic theory. He has classified all the objects of creation into nine elements, namely: earth, water, light, wind, ether, time, space, mind and soul. He says, "Every object of creation is made of atoms which in turn connect with each other to form molecules." His statement ushered in the Atomic Theory for the first time ever in the world, nearly 2500 years before John Dalton . Kanad has also described the dimension and motion of atoms and their chemical reactions with each other. The eminent historian, T.N. Colebrook , has said, "Compared to the scientists of Europe , Kanad and other Indian scientists were the global masters of this field."

NAGARJUNA (100 CE)

WIZARD OF CHEMICAL SCIENCE
He was an extraordinary wizard of science born in the nondescript village of Baluka in Madhya Pradesh . His dedicated research for twelve years produced maiden discoveries and inventions in the faculties of chemistry and metallurgy. Textual masterpieces like " Ras Ratnakar ," "Rashrudaya" and "Rasendramangal" are his renowned contributions to the science of chemistry. Where the medieval alchemists of England failed, Nagarjuna had discovered the alchemy of transmuting base metals into gold. As the author of medical books like "Arogyamanjari" and "Yogasar," he also made significant contributions to the field of curative medicine. Because of his profound scholarliness and versatile knowledge, he was appointed as Chancellor of the famous University of Nalanda . Nagarjuna's milestone discoveries impress and astonish the scientists of today.

ACHARYA CHARAKA
(600 BCE)

FATHER OF MEDICINE
Acharya Charak has been crowned as the Father of Medicine. His renowned work, the " Charak Samhita ", is considered as an encyclopedia of Ayurveda. His principles, diagoneses, and cures retain their potency and truth even after a couple of millennia. When the science of anatomy was confused with different theories in Europe , Acharya Charak revealed through his innate genius and enquiries the facts on human anatomy, embryology, pharmacology, blood circulation and diseases like diabetes, tuberculosis, heart disease, etc. In the " Charak Samhita " he has described the medicinal qualities and functions of 100,000 herbal plants. He has emphasized the influence of diet and activity on mind and body. He has proved the correlation of spirituality and physical health contributed greatly to diagnostic and curative sciences. He has also prescribed an ethical charter for medical practitioners two centuries prior to the Hippocratic oath. Through his genius and intuition, Acharya Charak made landmark contributions to Ayurveda. He forever remains etched in the annals of history as one of the greatest and noblest of rishi-scientists.


ACHARYA SUSHRUTHA (600 BCE)

FATHER OF PLASTIC SURGERY
A genius who has been glowingly recognized in the annals of medical science. Born to sage Vishwamitra, Acharya Sudhrut details the first ever surgery procedures in " Sushrut Samhita ," a unique encyclopedia of surgery. He is venerated as the father of plastic surgery and the science of anesthesia. When surgery was in its infancy in Europe , Sushrut was performing Rhinoplasty (restoration of a damaged nose) and other challenging operations. In the " Sushrut Samhita ," he prescribes treatment for twelve types of fractures and six types of dislocations. His details on human embryology are simply amazing. Sushrut used 125 types of surgical instruments including scalpels, lancets, needles, Cathers and rectal speculums; mostly designed from the jaws of animals and birds. He has also described a number of stitching methods; the use of horse's hair as thread and fibers of bark. In the " Sushrut Samhita ," he details 300 types of operations. The ancient Indians were the pioneers in amputation, caesarian and cranial surgeries. Acharya Sushrut was a giant in the arena of medical science.


VARAHAMIHIRA (499-587 CE)

EMINENT ASTROLOGER AND ASTRONOMERA
renowned astrologer and astronomer who was honored with a special decoration and status as one of the nine gems in the court of King Vikramaditya in Avanti ( Ujjain ). Varahamihir' s book "panchsiddhant" holds a prominent place in the realm of astronomy. He notes that the moon and planets are lustrous not because of their own light but due to sunlight. In the " Bruhad Samhita " and " Bruhad Jatak ," he has revealed his discoveries in the domains of geography, constellation, science, botany and animal science. In his treatise on botanical science, Varamihir presents cures for various diseases afflicting plants and trees. The rishi-scientist survives through his unique contributions to the science of astrology and astronomy.

ACHARYA PATANJALI (200 BCE)

FATHER OF YOGA
The Science of Yoga is one of several unique contributions of India to the world. It seeks to discover and realize the ultimate Reality through yogic practices. Acharya Patanjali , the founder, hailed from the district of Gonda (Ganara) in Uttar Pradesh . He prescribed the control of prana (life breath) as the means to control the body, mind and soul. This subsequently rewards one with good health and inner happiness. Acharya Patanjali 's 84 yogic postures effectively enhance the efficiency of the respiratory, circulatory, nervous, digestive and endocrine systems and many other organs of the body. Yoga has eight limbs where Acharya Patanjali shows the attainment of the ultimate bliss of God in samadhi through the disciplines of: yam, niyam, asan, pranayam, pratyahar, dhyan and dharna. The Science of Yoga has gained popularity because of its scientific approach and benefits. Yoga also holds the honored place as one of six philosophies in the Indian philosophical system. Acharya Patanjali will forever be remembered and revered as a pioneer in the science of self-discipline, happiness and self-realization.

ACHARYA BHARADWAJA (800 BCE)

PIONEER OF AVIATION TECHNOLOGY

He authored the " Yantra Sarvasva " which includes astonishing and outstanding discoveries in aviation science, space science and flying machines. He has described three categories of flying machines: 1.) One that flies on earth from one place to another. 2.) One that travels from one planet to another. 3.) And One that travels from one universe to another. His designs and descriptions have impressed and amazed aviation engineers of today. His brilliance in aviation technology is further reflected through techniques described by him:
1.) Profound Secret: The technique to make a flying machine invisible through the application of sunlight and wind force.
2.) Living Secret: The technique to make an invisible space machine visible through the application of electrical force.
3.) Secret of Eavesdropping: The technique to listen to a conversation in another plane.
4.) Visual Secrets: The technique to see what's happening inside another plane.
Through his innovative and brilliant discoveries, Acharya Bharadwaj has been recognized as the pioneer of aviation technology.

ACHARYA KAPILA (3000 BCE)

FATHER OF COSMOLOGY
Celebrated as the founder of Sankhya philosophy, Acharya Kapil is believed to have been born in 3000 BCE to the illustrious sage Kardam and Devhuti. He gifted the world with the Sankhya School of Thought. His pioneering work threw light on the nature and principles of the ultimate Soul (Purusha), primal matter (Prakruti) and creation. His concept of transformation of energy and profound commentaries on atma, non-atma and the subtle elements of the cosmos places him in an elite class of master achievers - incomparable to the discoveries of other cosmologists. On his assertion that Prakruti, with the inspiration of Purusha, is the mother of cosmic creation and all energies, he contributed a new chapter in the science of cosmology. Because of his extrasensory observations and revelations on the secrets of creation, he is recognized and saluted as the Father of Cosmology.


Think my fellow Indians and reflect them in every second of your living.
Jai Bharata Mata

Congress Bastards and their Dastardly act

When the entire nation voted for Kongress and gave a walk over majority to the Rajiv Gandhi govt, this flamboyant playboy who bought manio to India also did something more disastrous than anybody's imagination could stretch.
The prime accused in the Bhopal Gas Tragedy disaster was released from the prison on Rajiv's call and taken in a government vehicle to a chartered plane to US. Guess who was there to monitor the entire process, our dearest Arjun Singh (yes, the former minister for HRD whose only work was to introduce more OBC reservation to everyone except the deserved ones). Here is a document from the CIA commenting on the involvement of Rajiv Gandhi.

http://ibnlive.in.com/news/anderson-freed-on-centres-orders-cia-papers/123873-37-64.html

Everyone passed suitcases of money and quickly packed it off to their Swiss accounts while the entire nation was mocked at. The tragedy victims died and for generations had no relief from the govt. Destiny and Karma has its own ways of working. Look at what an end Rajiv met. Even then the CONgress seems to have not learnt its lesson. So be it. Time will determine their fate.

Jai Bharat Mata

Insult to the Dogs

Gadkariji had to lash his tongue to talk about the dirty dogs of sonia. These mullah mulayam and la loo are just not worth a position in the indian community. On the other hand calling them dogs is a real insult to the wonderful creature and man's best friend which takes care of you your entire life for possibly one biscuit every day. Where are these politicians and where are the humble creatures called Dogs. . naah no comparison :-).

As usual, our leftist media is all sympathetic to la loo and is giving him all the air time to speak on gadkariji. Rajdeep sardesai is hosting another talk show on how low Gadkariji could sweep, without understanding that a bomb called Islamic Sharia is ready to blow his butt in a few years.

Kangress piss in pants when Nationalists get going

Look at what Diggy and PC had to talk about in their secret chamber. If at all this news is true, then the Nationalistic goals are slowly getting to be realized. The ideology is growing stronger for a nationalistic movement (certainly democratic) and the congress is all piss in pants. Their vote banks are being destroyed, everything is going to be exposed, no smart Raul ass can save this government. The RSS has taken an intellectual way to fight these corrupt vote beggars - "train the IAS aspirants". If this continues, I wont be surprised to a see a vibrant, nationalistic, corruption and babu free Bharat in my lifetime. Dear non-hindus, all of you will be more secure under this umbrella, just like it has been from the past 7000 yrs. Pseudo-secularists and traitors who still think that they come from the illustrious family of ghaznavi and ghori can start packing their bags.

Meanwhile I leave my readers with more proof of how media is being funded and controlled by Congress. . laugh out loud and think later about the sorry state of affairs of this great country.

A must watch for my countrymen - Debate on Ajmer Blasts and role of muslims

And to the rescue of our poor innocent mullahs who dint know anything about bombs and blast but ended up in the interrogation room. The media and our convert machine Mr. Owaisi is all up in arms against such happenings. They all feel that muslims are unnecessarily targeted by powerful hindus. .
I wish if this was true and if dharma could be brought back one day to shove it up theirs.. . hmm will need to wait for longer time. Take a look at this interview.

One thing must be observed and we should pat ourselves for it. The Centre-Right movement seems to be gathering mass. Kanchan Gupta, person who was the first to raise his voice for this and wrote about the identity of the Internet Hindus has been invited to speak on this show. Finally a voice to represent all of us. Owaisi can feel the heat beneath but tries to laugh out the allegations by Kanchanda. Observe, analyse and infer your results on what the pseudo secular media and the congress government is all about.
Down to vote bank politics, Jai Bharat.

EVM - another attempt in the control of power by congress

A fellow internet hindu pointed out how things are falling right in place to bring the next idiot to the chair - italian prince of mafiosa, Raul Vinci (gandhi).
Here is a video by indiaEVM.org which demonstrates how the votes can easily be manipulated.



And considering the man power and swiss account money with every corrupt politician of this country, this is as simple as it gets. Everyone in the world knows how to hack these voting machines but our Election Commission does not even come close to realizing this. When a Windows operating system can be hacked by more than millions around the world, what difficulty is there to hack a voting machine which does not even come close to being a secure device. When Apple, Microsoft and other leaders of technology end up being hacked the very day they release their product, how can it be that a government developed software and its imported components are hack-proof. Dont be surprised if the ISI will also give the necessary know-how about hacking this to our honest PM so that they may continue to be supported by the ruling kaangress.

My countrymen, get ready to be ruled by another hypointellectual, fashionable, mummy boy PM in 2014. Maybe this is what we are made for. Be ruled and thwarted for few thousand years more until the end of kaliyuga.

PS: If this is anywhere close to scary, then wake up and take the kaangress of out power. Save the indian democracy.

Rotting activities of India and Dubai angle to it

Though this doesn't come as a surprise, it is saddening to know the amount of high-handed corruption prevalent in foreign policies of our country. None have the balls in this kaangress government to take up measures to clean the system and act truthfully in the interest of our countrymen. A spineless prime minister, an italian mafiosa filling her swiss accounts her mother-in-law left and bunch of criminals in the government. And they dare to portray India as an economic power.

THE EDGE OF A PRECIPICE

Everything that is rotten in India has a Dubai angle

K.P. NAYAR

The sleaze from the Indian Premier League's gutter, which has significantly diminished the country's political class and others in authority — such as the chairman and managing director of Air India, Arvind Jadhav, who willingly converted the airline into a private carrier for the IPL — is a warning that for the Indian State, Dubai continues to be a curse.

My first direct exposure as a young journalist to the depth and range of corruption and wrong-doing in the Indian government was in Dubai, where I lived in the 1980s. I used to frequent the office of the owner of a big bank in Dubai. His chief hatchet man, his CEO of sorts — although such fancy corporate designations were unknown in Dubai then — was an Indian from Kerala, who constituted my access to the bank owner, a multi-billionaire businessman whose sprawling global business empire included everything from hotels and car dealerships to newspapers and real estate.

It is only an incidental aside to the main narrative of this column that at that time, the bank owner, whose family had huge business and personal stakes in Pakistan, was providing refuge to an exiled Benazir Bhutto in one of his three houses off London's Mayfair and simultaneously running businesses under various names for the head of one of the 22 families which controlled 66 per cent of Pakistani industry and owned 87 per cent of that country's banking and insurance prior to nationalization of those by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. While Benazir was running her campaign against General Zia-ul-Haq from this Dubai businessman's London property — where I first met her — the irony is that the man for whom the same entrepreneur was running benami ventures was one of the most powerful ministers in General Zia's cabinet.

The general manager of the bank owned by the Dubai businessman was an amiable Scotsman, who was totally trusted by the owner to look after his wide-ranging interests. One day, the general manager was summoned by the owner and told that a fairly large sum of money needed to be withdrawn from the account of 'Mr Crow' and that the Scotsman should deliver the money to the owner. It would be collected by 'Mr Crow' whom the owner would be seeing in the next two days while he was visiting the Emirate.

I sat quietly in a corner of the room, sipping gahwa, a ritual coffee preparation in Arab communities, and wondering who 'Mr Crow' may be. I did not have to wait long to discover his identity: 'Mr Crow' was a very senior civil servant who later became India's foreign secretary.
