SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE

PROLOGUE

United Nations Organization says: For the next 10 years we must focus on education
for sustainable development. Development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is
sustainable. It includes aspects such as peace, environmental integrity and human
rights, and requires us to reassess our concept of “progress”. The U.N. Earth Charter
says, “…… it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to
one another, to the greater community of life and to future generations”.
(The Times of India, January 25, 2005)

To achieve the aforesaid goal of sustaibability, we will have to draw knowledge from
the richest veins of human wisdom, both past and present.

To-day our survival requires a total change within ourselves. To achieve this, eduation
needs enhancing and strengthing the following human capacities:

The wisdom to perceive the interconnectedness of life and living; the courage not to
fear or deny difference, but to respect and strive to undersand people of different
cultures, and to grow from encounters with them; the compassion to maintain an
imaginative empathy that reaches beyond one’s immediate surroundings and extends
to those suffering in distant places.

Now, I pose following questions that need answers in connection with ancient wisdom 
of India:

1. Why is there an advanced scientific language like Sanskrit?


2. Why did the ancients need sub-micro measurements to the level of a trasrenu (nano range)?
3. Why is there such an advanced Architecture as Vaastu Shastra?
4. Why is there such an advanced mathematics as Vedic Ganit?
5. Why is there a science of life as Ayurveda?
6. Why is there a discipline like Yoga?
7. Why is there Indian Surgery, Metallurgy, numerals, chemistry, agriculture, ecological
concepts, time concepts, Ancient aviation science of Hindus, etc.?

Apparent combined answer to all the above raised questions is: There was an advanced
scientific Hindu Society in the remote past. The principles of its sciences are so dvanced that
not only these are applicable to-day but these are also suitable for the future base building of
modern science.
I shall continue to write my impressions about it and shall solicit querries.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE

Introduction:

Miracle inventions and discoveries provided by the modern day science are transforming
man’s environment. Age of intelligent machines has begun. Artificial intelligence, robotics,
nano-technology, cloning, genome etc. are indicators of an altogether new journey of man.
This modern day science has passed through many stages of radical developments. Most
important amongst these are:

1. The universe of Rene Descartes and Newton ( a big machine)


2. Relativity of Einstein
3. Quantum Mechanics
4. Thermodynamics
5. Darwin’s Evolutionary Theory
6. Recent developments related to the study of consciousness

Influence of these scientific developments has revolutionized the present day life. Man is
seemingly getting drowned in the global consumer culture. He is trying to unify himself with
machines. His appetite for collection is crossing all limits. This situation is leading towards
destabilization of ecological balance and severe crisis on all fronts of life. What a strange
situation it is! On one hand man seems to have obtained most satisfying artifacts for his life
and on the other he is terribly afraid of the onslaught of instability in life. In order to provide
a stable life environment, it appears, science needs a new base and in its search for one such
base it is approaching towards Ancient Indian Sciences. In the past also Ancient Indian
Sciences made fundamental contributions to the development of science. Eminent scholars of
the world like Shrodinger, Capra, David Bohm, Rhinecourte, Zukov, Talbot are amongst
those who have recognized this strength of Indian Ancient Sciences and they consider ancient
Indian Sciences as the center for the generation of new waves for the modern scientific
thought. Let us analyze and review these two scenarios (modern science spectrum vis-à-vis
Ancient Indian Science panorama).

History of Western science:

History of science begins with Thales of Miletus (640 -656 B.C.). The first recorded and
important land mark is due to Pythagorus (570 -497 B.C.). Atomism starts with Democritus
(460 -370 B.C.). These are the initial stages of science. Science took a definitive turn with the
findings of Copernicus (1473 -1543 A.D.) which are contained in his De revolutionibus.
Thereafter Tycho Brahe (1546 -1601A.D.), Johans Kepler (1571 -1630 ), Galileo Galilei
(1564 – 1642) appeared on the scene to put this on a firm pedestal. Rene Descarte (1637)
provided the analytical geometry and postulated the identity of space and matter which led to
the beginning of a new chapter. If we classify the areas of science until then, three lines
emerge: 1. Astronomy (Main scientists: Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Kepler, Galileo,
Huygens). 2. Mechanics (Main scientists: Stevin, Galileo, Huygens) and 3. Optics ( Main
scientists: Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Huygens).

4
Journey of the western science is invalidation of one theory and its substitution by another in
its place. .Galileo invalidated the Aristotles’s theory of falling bodies and killed his physics.
Newton changed the Copernicus and Galilean theories [Observations of Galileo, Tycho Brahe
and Kepler provided Newton induction for his three laws of motion and law of universal
gravitation. Descartes was the leading philosophy behind Newtonian Physics].

The two most dominating scientists of the seventeenth century Huygenes (1629-1695) and
Sir Issac Newton (1642-1727) (Principia Mathematica and Opticks are two most outstanding
books of Newton which led to the transformation of seventeenth century science) opened
gates for further development of western science. At that point of time the predominant
method of the study of Nature was MECHANISTIC.

In 1905 A. Einstein published a small paper on Special Theory of Relativity wherein the
equivalence of mass and energy was established. Matter dominated science world of that time
got completely destroyed. Quantum Mechanics came on the scene and in 1927 Heissenberg
brought the final and catastrophic earthquake in science. He showed: Fundamental particles
like electron will remain eternally unknowable to man.The cause and effect relation do not
simply apply in the world of New Physics.

Works of Einstein, Bohr, Heissenberg and Schrodinger were aimed at the quest of the
ultimate stuff of the universe. Research turned into a wild goose chase.

It is interesting to note at this juncture that the relativity theory which revolutioned science
was little understood at that point of time. An observation is worth recording: According to
some accounts, a journalist told Eddington in the early 1920s that he heard there were only
three people in the world who understood general relativity. Eddington paused, and replied,” I
am trying to think who the third person is.”

At this time a new dimension was added by Eddington, though not recognized. Eddington
said: It is the scientist who admits consciousness as a fact and he is aware that but for
knowledge by consciousness, scientific investigation could not begin. Max Plank adds: As a
paleontologist reconstructs an extinct monster from its footprints so also a scientist constructs
his ideas from the messages from consciousness.

Most important milestones in the journey of science were due to the works of Newton,
Einstein, Bohr and Plank. Then Field Theories appeared on the scene with attempts to unify
all the four forces of nature. Most recent (2004) is the superstring theory. Noble prize for
physics (2004) has been awarded for work on interaction of quarks with reference to
superstrings. This is the up-to date history of the modern science.

Bronowski writes: Relativity derives essentially from the philosophical analysis which insists
that there is not a fact and an observer, but it is necessary to join the two in an observation.
The conclusion is that the event and observer are not separable.

During this entire course of journey spiritual values were devalued and disrespected. A
new religion emerged: Scientific materialism.

5
What are the problems which science faces to-day?

Universe remains a mystery. Problems of life are far from basic comprehension. One of the
hottest areas of research in physics is the problem of Consciousness. Over and above
everything else the fast deteriorating ecological balance of the earth has become a matter of
central concern. It may not be easy to answer the cause of the present day situation but some
concrete vision can be had by looking at what Stephan Hawking wrote in his world famous
book (A brief history of science). He says in conclusion:

“Up to now, most scientists have been too occupied with the development of new theories
that describe what the universe is rather than to ask the question why.”
“……. However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in
broad principles by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers,
scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of
why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate
triumph of human reason------ for then we would know the mind of GOD.”

Shrodinger was the first to fire a salvo when he said that the solution to modern day science
problems lie in the Vedantic literature of Hindus. Capra saw Shiv’s Tandav Nritya in the
solution of problems of interaction of elementary particles. Gary Zukov tried to solve
problems related to intellectual entrenchment and intellectual openness in the famous
Ramayana.

A basic question, now, must be raised as to what were the basic inputs to the western science
of history. A glance at the global scenario, at different periods of time, would reveal that these
basic inputs were from India. It is a historical fact that the western science used Bhartiya
Gyan as basic inputs for its developments, e.g. numerals, ZERO, decimal system, Shulb
Sutras, Surgery etc.

We must remember some Basics of investigation according to which no fundamental


breakthrough in knowledge is possible. These are:
(1) Knowing the global past developments
(2) Freeing one from the existing theories and notions
(3) Using ones own ingenuity to arrive at new conclusions.
We must keep the above in mind while assessing contributions of India to the western science.

To know and appreciate the real strengths of ancient Bharatiya Science and Technology, it is
necessary to provide an account of its past scientific and technological achievements which
are available to-day and are still not only relevant but also can be used by the modern day
science and technology for their future bases.
Is there any Bharatiya science worth it? Does India possess anything which can
motivate a modern scientist to look into our old scriptures?

Let us study the history of Indian (Bharatiya) Sciences with respect to the above stated
objective.

HISTORY OF ANCIENT INDIAN (BHARATIYA) SCIENCES

Hindu science history dates back to many millennia past. Science is not new to 
India. As a matter of fact science is the spirit of India. It is clear that right from the 
Vedic period science dominated the Indian scene. Indian contributions to the science 
of life (Ayurveda), mathematics and astronomy were both original and fundamental, 
and it is these that laid the foundations of modern science in the world. Indians were 
the first to look upon grammar as a science, and its value is now recognized when one 
attempts   at   schemes   for   machine   translation   from   one   language   to   another.   Very 
fundamental questions on time, matter, energy, consciousness and reality were widely 
discussed   by   ancient   Indians.   Till  about   19th   century   when   the   British   colonized 
India, there was a well­recognized superiority for Indian Science in the whole world.

A   parallel   story   of   superiority   and   even   supremacy   could   be   told   about   Indian 
technology as well. It is a fact that one of the prized possessions that Alexander took 
from India during his raids in 3rd century BC was a ball of Indian steel. From that day 
to the day of wootz steel and Damascus sword upto 19th Century, metallurgy had been 
a strong point of Indian technology. Look at some of the technological marvels of 
India   spanning   over   a   period   of   5000   years:   Taj   Mahal   (17th   Century   AD); 
Brihadeswara Temple at Tanjore and thousands of similar temples ( 10th Century 
AD);  Ajanta, Ellora, Sanchi, and many  Buddhist monuments ( 5th century BC to 5th 
Century   AD);   and   Lothal,   Mohen   Jo   Daro   and   Harappan   civilizations   (   3rd 
millemium BC). All these and many other technological marvels have no equivalents 
anywhere in the world. 

To appreciate the real strengths of Indian Ancient Sciences, it is necessary to provide 
an account of our past scientific achievements which are available till to­day. We give 
below   only   some   of   those   scientific   achievements   of   the   past   which   modern   day 
science and technology can use to build new bases for their future course.

A glimpse of some of the past achievements of ancient Hindu


Sciences
I. Vedic Ganit:
This branch of Hindu Mathematics has already acquired a status which presents it as
the future mathematics of the world. Its unique features are:
a. It provides algorithm for parallel processing;
b. Its operations are independent of base (decimal, octal, binary, etc.)
c. It is possible to solve simultaneous non-linear differential equations (manually).

[It may be noted that 10 Ph.D.s have already been completed under
Prof. Narendra Puri, Civil Engg. Dept., IIT, Roorkee]

II. Hindu Aviation Science:


Wg.Comdr.M.P.Rao carried out a DRDO project to investigate into Sage Bharadwaj’s
VIMAAN SHASTRA and came out with startling conclusions. Some of these conclusions are
briefly given below:

1. Many treatises of ancient origin feature in the study of knowledge of aviation associated
with the distant past of our country. The word 'ancient' used here refers to Vedic and Puranic
era. Maharishi Bharadwaja's 'Vymanika Prakaranam' (Vymanika Shastra), extracts from
Vedas, references in Puranic literature such as Bhagawata, Mahabharata,.Ramayana,
Harivamsha, Samarangana Sutradhara of King Bhoja Raja and other works throw light on
aviation knowledge pronounced by the preceptors of yester years.

2. Bharadwaja’s Vymanika Shastra is a part of Yantra Sarvaswa (encyclopedia on machines),


authored by Rishi Bharadwaja. He belonged to both Treta and Dwapara Yugas and featured in
a dynasty of preceptors, as son of Brihaspati and father of Dronacharya. In the introductory
passages, the sage himself explains that this knowledge is culled out from Vedas and is being
presented for the benefit of man-kind. On this treatise, Bodhananda, belonging to 10th
Century, introduced commentaries. After undergoing hibernation for 10 centuries the treatise
came in written form through Pandit Anekal Subbaraya Shastri between 1895 AD to 1918 AD
alongwith other Bhautika Shastras. The transcripts in Sanskrit were sent to oriental research
libraries in Pune and Baroda. English translation was done by Shri J R Josiar and published
as Vymanika Shastra in 1973. The Hindi version called BrihadVimana Shastra was published
by Dayanada Bhavan, Delhi in 1959.

3. Highlights of “Vymanika Shastra"

In each topic of the treatise we notice the pronouncements of Rishi Bharadwaja in the form of
'Sutras' followed by 'Vritis' or explanatory notes from Bodhananda. It is revealing that other
well known Rishis and preceptors such as Atri, Shownaka, Lallacharya, Galava, Agastya and
Viswambhara etc. have also contributed through citation of principles. Principles so quoted
draw references from certain topic-specific works such as Anshu Bodhini, Valmiki Ganita,
Yana Bindu, Loha Kalpa, Kriya Sara, Rahasya Lahari, and over 40 such works. It appears that
these reference works provided core research knowledge to applied science in Vymanika
Shastra. The treatise dwells upon a number of topics related to flying machines covered in
about 600 aphorisms. Leading topics of the treatise are:

1. Definition of Vimana.
2. The pilot (rahasyagnodhikari).
3. Concepts and techniques provided on board Vimana.
4. Season-specific food prescriptions for pilots.

8
5. Specific operational clothing for pilots.
6. Knowledge of atmosphere for pilots.
7. Function-based parts of Vimana.
8. Core metals and alloys for structural use.
9. Application-specific onboard yantras or contrivances.
10 Property-specific materials, Darapanas or mirrors( in yantras)
11. Varieties of Vimanas under Kritaka classification.

4.1 Definition:

Vimana is a Sanskrit word, generically used for flying craft in modern times as well. Derived
from Vimana, Vi meaning 'bird' and Mana meaning 'like', denotes a craft flying like a bird
under its own volition. It underlines the fact that ancient Indians had also derived inspiration
from the birds in conceiving flying craft.
Acharyas Nararayan, Lallacharya, Vishwambahara, Shownaka, quoting reference works
Vyomayana Tantra, Khetayana pradeepika, Yaana Bindu give definition as flying machine
moving under its own power from place to place, island to island and from one loka to
another.

The point of interest to modern science is that bands of atmosphere such as troposphere,
stratosphere etc., equate well with this in characteristics as well as in bandwidth. 'Valmiki
ganitha' Akasha
Kalpa, Anshu Bodhinee, Soundamini Kala are references quoted by preceptors, Lallacharya,
Shownaka and Dundhinatha. Deeper studies in this area of science could bring out finer
resolutions in equations: The net outcome of the study is tabulated in the Table-I. '

4.2 Function Based Parts of Vimana

The Chapter on 'Parts of Vimana' strangely discusses only special parts and features meant for
specific functions, locations specified for these parts or fixtures seem to have been aptly
chosen. Some of the parts are yantras or contrivances, some are packages or systems. Thirty
one such parts are enumerated:

» Vishwakriyaadapana or Mirror of outside views


» Shaktyaakarshana or energy attracting mirror
» Parivesha mechanism above the hood of the Vimana
(Angopasarnhaara Yantra or folding up yantra)
» Vistritakriyaa or opening out yantra.
» Vyroopya darpana
Padmachakramukha
» Kuntinee-shakti mechanism
» Pushpinee and Pinjulaa Mirrors
» Naalapanchaka (or 5 pipes)
» Guhaagarbha mirror yantra
» Thamoyantra
» Pancha-vattaskandha-naala
Rowdree Mirror
» Vaataskandh~ Keelaka
» Shaktisthaana
Shabda-kendra-mukha

9
» Vidyuddwaadashaka
Praanakundala
Shaktyudgama
» Vakraprasaarana
» Saktipanjara
» Shirahkeelaka
Shabadaakarshaka yantra
Pata-prasaarana
Dishaampati yantra
» Pattikaabhraka
Solar power attractor
Apasmarra or poison gas
» Sthambhana Yantra
» Vyshwaanara-naala

4.3 Core Metals and Alloys

The treatise prescribes three core metals and their alloys for constructional requirements of
Vim ana. Basic requirements of these materials are lightness, strength and heat
absorbent/resistant. Looking at properties prescribed, they are in consonance with stipulations
in modern Aeronautics.

The three core metals are: SOMAKA, SOUNDALlKA and MOURTHWIKA; the ores being
obtained from specified layers of earths crust. Even ge010gical aspects relating to formation
of ores, the causative factors governing the ore formation such as Temperature, Huridisy,
centrifugal force of earth, pressure inside earth's crust. While these features are known in
modem science, the treatise gives additional factors such as intra-planetary forces of
attraction in specified ratios and the gravitational force of the centre of universe. Elaborate
metallurgical processes include extraction, purification, melting and mixing three core metals,
alloying 16 types of alloys.Metallurgical processes explain use of varieties of crucibles,
furnaces and bellows of various shapes. These supporting tools themselves reflect on the
existence of a high order of material practice. Use of acids, decoctions, juices materials of
organic and inorganic origins in metallurgy system needs to be
noticed.

4.4 Application -Specific Yantras

By far the most high end part of the treatise Vimana Shastra is in 'Yantradhi Karanam' or
chapter on contrivances. One half of the treatise dedicates to description of yantras explaining
the arrangements to provide the desired effect. Many researchers have focused their study in
this topic. Correct interpretation of key words in the aphorisms has led them to logical
interpretations of intended functional roles. However this needs deeper study and
experimentation. A few of these yantras analysed and explained through interpretational logic
are shown in Table-2.

4.5 Property -Specific Materials

Many unique and property specific materials typically needed for construction of yantras
form in~eresting study for specialists of material sciences. Having many constituents in them,
these materials are metallic, non-metallic, Acids (Drava), glues (Lepa), Mirrors (Darpanas).
The number of ingredients in these materials is even up to 20. They are of organic and

10
inorganic nature, include pars from animals and birds, botanical plants and substances of
oceanic origins.There are clear indications that ancient Indians had nahlre-centric approach
methods in preparation of special materials. It is this aspect of natural science that has been
attracted many modem scientists in the last decade. Reports received from some leading
laboratories in India confirm that some of the materials, developed in their labs as per
formulae given in Vimana shastra and related works Anshu Bodhinee, are unique in nature.
Given a fair chance to the research activists, a new family of materials and parallel generation
of material technology could evolve. With the advent of bio-metallurgy in modem science,
olden metallurgical practices should get a phillip. Some of the materials already developed
are:

Tamogarbha Loha
Panchadhara Loha
Arara Loha
Chumbaka Mani
Paragrendka Drava
Prakashasthanbhanabida Loha

4.6 Varieties of Vimanas

The treatise deals with four types of Viman as of Kritaha Category. In the absence of detailed
descriptions, it would be a difficult exercise to understand all about them. Some of the
diagrams given in the work give a rough idea even though diagrams themselves need to be
reviewed. Nevertheless, a few deductions about these four aircraft are cited below:

Out of Twenty Five types listed, four Vimanas, Shakuna, Sundara, Rukma and Tripura are
explained in brief.
Their constructional details include Structural parts, propulsion system, on board accessories,
electrical and solar energy harnessing, flying control arrangements etc.,
Aerodynamic streamlining of the structure appears interesting.
Special alloys like Rajaloha and Trinetra loha in structural construction specified.
Propulsion energy systems include engine-driven propellers, internal combustion, jet
propulsion, mercury and solar energy.

.Shakuna Vimana
Apparently it is one of the early conceptions under Kritaka category.

Propeller-driven; powered by an internal combustion power plant.

Deriving its name from Shakuna (Bird), it has flapping and feathering control surfaces
actuated by powered jacks.

Raja loha used for structural constructions.

Out of 28 parts mentioned major ones are; floor board, hollow mast, heaters, air suction pipes
wheeled kcclakas, stcam boilcr, Vidyut yantra ctc.,

.Sundara Vimana
Significant feature is in the jet propulsion system. A Mixture of three oils form the Energy-
developing fuel.

11
Ignition is by electric energy.
High energy gases are pushed through flexible metal-impregnated fabric hoses acting as jet
nozzles.
Flexible jet pies also provide directional control.
Structural material specified is Raja Loha.
Main parts of this vimana are - five engines, base plate, electrical generator, wind blower,
heater.

Rukma Vimana
Appearance of a hover Craft
Rukma Meaning Golden, the Vim ana has aesthetic Golden Appearance.
Structural material is Raja Loha
Solar Energ y harnessing mentioned.
Retractable landing gear indicated
Directional control is from three rudder arrangement

.Tripura Vimana
It is a unique three-in-one concept. It can operate under water, on land and space.
Propulsion power is by solar energy
Construction material is Trinetra Loha making the Vimana an extremely light vehicle.
Has three-tier construction, one for each flying application.
Each tier is functionally equipped.
On-board systems include yantras providing safety against air currents and radiations.

5. Other Aspects of Science Unraveled in Vymanika Shastra

Besides aspects of Aviation Science, Vymanica Shastra exposes several other interesting
phenomenon of scientific interest.
> Principles elucidated refer to several core text hinting that the basis of these texts was on
broad based research.
> While discussing formation of metallic ores in the earth's crust, causative factors governing
ore fonnation are:
-Force of earth's rotation
-Temperature and humidity inside earth
-Gravitational force of earth
-Gravitational influence of other planets, stars and even the centre of the universe.
> Material science includes substance of metallic, non-metallic, organic, Inorganic, Botanical
and Herbal,
Oceanic origins
> Source-related Classification of Materials
-Artificial or Synthetic
-Soil Origin
-Aquatic Origin
-Mineral Origin
-Vegetation origin
-Vennin based
-Animal origin
-Hair Origin
-Egg born.
> Mercury as a potent source of energy in a number of applications.
>- Use of Mirrors for Radiation Energy-Control and harnessing

12
>- Definite system of units of measurements existed.
-Length -Vitasthi, Angula, Danda, Krosha
-Weight -Mushthi, Linka, Pala
-Temperature -Kakshya
-Speed -Prenkhana, Linka
-Time -Ghatika
-Volume -Drona.
>- Description on special clothing for pilots indicates the extent of knowledge prevailing on
fabric technology using silk, cotton, wool, hair, moss and leather.
>- Harnessing of energy from atmospheric source such as solar radiation, cloud energy,
energy from air currents seem to be unique.
>- Principles of development of electrical energy by different means were conceived.
>- Stipulations of close melting temperaturcs citcd in material production hint at prccision in
pyromctry.
>- Knowledge on high potency explosives and their detection methods indicate a different
kind of warfare, akin to recent centuries.

6. Conclusion

The subject of ancient aviation science is too vast to be covered in a short presentation. At
best an attempt can be made to gloss over the leading features. The need of the day is getting
into practical interpretations followed by laboratory experimentations to validate the
substance of textual contents. In this effort suitable methodology, creation of a common
platform in research activity among study groups, initiative from Sanskrit scholars, bridge-
builders and scientists hold the key.

III. CONSTRUCTION & ARCHITECTURE: Excellent examples of superb ancient


architecture are available which throw light on not only the past glory but also for use in the
modern day context.

IIIa. Sea Ports in Ancient India (5000 years back)


Lothal (Maharashtra) : a city uncovered during excavations. It is dated 2400 b.c.
Ample proof of trade with foreign lands
A garland of sea-ports starting from Lothal via Kanya Kumari up to Tamra- Lipti
In Bangal (Description in PERIPLUS BOOK OF 1ST century)
Ships of the size of 754 ft.X 126 ft. used to sail.
For sea port at Lothal:- there was a wall of1400 ft built for controlling sea-
Waves and was so constructed that even during the period of low tide ships could
directly sail right up to the port.

IIIc VASTU-SHASTRA

Science and technology of modern architecture revolves round the main idea that every piece
of land designated for some building construction is an independent piece of land. The
designer is required to provide all that is needed to fulfill the needs of the owner. This can be
in total disregard to other considerations. Modern world is witnessing many problems due to
this approach in construction. To find solution to the problems, there is a growing awareness
amongst architects to look into the methodology of ancient Indian architecture, called Vaastu
Shastra. It is observed that buildings/apartments with good Vaastu have healthy, happy and
prosperous owners whereas places with negative Vaastu energy will have losses, ill health, ill
repute, hurdles etc.

This MANTRA from ATHERWA-VEDA is of paramount importance for understanding the


Indian Architecture. This mantra is the key to the basics of ancient Indian architecture (Vaastu
Shastra).

Concepts revealed have a remarkable parallel with the most modern ecological considerations
and even transcend present day science in some respects so far as building design and
construction are concerned. Explanation provided here is perhaps the first ever attempted.
The beauty of the explanation is that it leads to automatic unfolding of the meaning of the
Mantra. The rishi, the seer, writes about the secret in a highly coded way. As per this mantra
there are 21 bio-electro-magnetic fields which are required to be balanced for happy life in a
dwelling place. These fields have been named as Deva which an ordinary investigator will
translate in conventionally which is not the way with Vedic mantras.

IV. TIME:

When was the origin of the creation? Up to what time will it remain?

To understand this we must understand काल (Time).


Let us see what does Stephan Hawking says about the most modern concept of time.

Einstein’s general theory of relativity, on its own, predicted thar space-time began at the big
bang singularity and would come to an end either at the big crunch singularity ( if the whole
universe recollapsed), or at a singularity inside a black hole ( if a local region, such as a star,
were to collapse).
When a star dies, its fuel gets transformed into light and energy; it starts contracting and
reduces to a point. Even light is absorbed, so it cannot be known as to what is there. Absence
of light is darkness. These are black holes.

S. Hawking says,” The work that Roger Penrose and I did between 1965 and 1970 showed
that, according to general relativity, there must be a singularity of infinite density and space-
time curvature within a black hole. This is rather like the big bang at the beginning of time,
only it would be an end of time for the collapsing body and the astronaut. At this singularity
the laws of science and our ability to predict the future would break down. However, any
observer who remained outside this black hole would not be affected by this failure of
predictability, because neither light nor any other signal could reach him from the singularity.
This remarkable fact led Roger Penrose to propose the cosmic censorship hypothesis which
might be paraphrased as “God abhors a naked singularity.”

“The existence of radiation from black holes seems to imply that gravitational collapse is not
as final and irreversible as we once thought. If an astronaut falls into a black hole, its mass
will increase, but eventually the energy equivalent of that extra mass will be returned to the
universe in the form of radiation. Thus, in a sense, the astronaut will be “recycled”. It would
be a poor immortality, however, because any personal concept of time for the astronaut would
almost certainly come to an end as he was torn apart inside the black hole!”

S. Hawking mentions three arrows of time:

1. Cosmological time: direction in which universe expands;


2. Psychological time: direction of time in which we remember past;
3. Thermodynamic time: direction in which disorder increases.

S. Hawking says (1981), “ ….the possibility that space-time was finite but had no boundary,
which means that it had no beginning, no moment of creation.”

This is modern Science.

18
Hindus explained time in a beautiful manner. With Brahma the creation starts and ends with
his age of 100 Divine years.

We connected “Our time” with that of the “Universe time”, not only physical time but also
solar time and bio-time.

In bio-time we connect पाि (time between one inhalation and exhalation) and कला
( duration of movement of earth).

360 deg.X60 = 21600 कला (minutes)


In 24 hours पाि = 21600 कला
Thus time and space are united. Where else do you find this type of correlation?
We should ask a question: Why did they do it?

The concept of entire gamut of creation is beautifully explained in the following shloka:

अवयकादीिि भूिािि, वयकमधयीिि भाििः।


अवयकििधिीियेि िि का पििदे ििा ।।
This means: All the objects (animate and inanimate) normally remain unmanifested, it is
only during some period of time that they become manifest…..

V. Metallurgy:

Achievements are well known and properly recorded.

Iron pillar of Kutub Minar (1500 years old). It is about 12 meters long and is uniform in
diameter. How was this size of forging carried?? The pillar is rust proof. It is an eye opener to
the technical world.

VI. Astronomy

VIa.In 1760 Sir John PLayfair published an article in the Proc. Royal Soc. (Edinburgh). He
says: Indians either knew modern Astronomy or they were observing planets.

Ancient Indian astronomers were able to calculate the orbiting periods of planets round the
sun. They calculated ratios of their orbiting periods to that of the earth. Modern day
astronomers too have done it. Following table gives the comparison:
_____________________________________________________________________
Planet Surya Siddhanta Modern Science
Mercury 0.24 0.24
Venus 0.61 0.68
Earth 1.00 1.00
Mars 1.88 1.88
Jupiter 11.86 11.86
Saturn 29.47 29.46

The above table clearly shows the accuracy with which ancient Indians were making their
calculations.

VIb Write about precession of equinoxes…..

1­ Dr. ARNORLD TOYNBEE :  It is already becoming clear that a chapter which had a 
western beginning will have to have an Indian ending, if it is not to end in the self­destruction 
of the human race. At this supremely dangerous moment in human history, the only way of 
salvation for mankind is the Indian way.
2­ LIN YUTANG : India was China's teacher in religion and imaginative literature, and 
the world's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, Phonetics, arabian nights, 
animal fables, chess as well as in philosophy.
3­  PROF. A.A. MACDONELL  :  In Science, too the debt of Europe to India has been 
considerable. There is in the first place, the great fact that Indians invented the numerical 
figures used all over the world. The influence of the decimal system not only on mathematics 
but on the progress of civilization in general can hardly be over estimated. During the eighth 
and ninth centuries the Indians became the teachers in arithmetic and algebra, of the Arabs, 
and through them of the nations of the west. Thus though we call the latter science by an Arab 
name, it is a gift that we owe to India.''
4­   PROF.   BRIAN   DAVID   JOSEPHSON  (Youngest   Nobel   Laureate)  :  The  Vedanta   and 
Sankhya hold the key to the laws of mind and thought process which are co­related to the 
Quantum Field i.e. the operation and distribution of particles at atomic and molecular levels.
5­ PROF. HEISENBERG : After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the 
ideas (of Quantum Physics) that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense.

SIR WILLIAM HUNTER: The surgery of the ancient Indian physicians was bold and
skillful. They conducted amputation, practiced lithotomy, performed operations in the

25
abdomen and uterus, cured hernia, fistula and piles, and set broken bones and dislocations. A
special branch of surgery was devoted to rhinoplasty or operation for improving deformed
ears, noses and forming new ones, which European surgeons have now borrowed. The
ancient Indian surgeons also mention a cure for neuralgia.
DR. HIRSCHBERG: Shushruta, known as the Father of Surgery practiced his skill as
early as 600 B.C. He used cheek skin to perform plastic surgery to restore or reshape the
nose, ears and lips with incredible results. Modern plastic surgery acknowledges his
contributions by calling this method of rhinoplasty as the Indian method.
The whole surgery in Europe has taken its new light when the devices of the Indian
workmen became known to us.

WHAT CAN ANCIENT INDIAN SCIENCE DO FOR MODERN SCIENTIST?

Science aims to explain natural phenomena through many branches like mechanics,
thermodynamics, optics, electromagnetism, astrophysics, etc. using mathematical framework.
Experiments are designed to test the theoretical predictions. This often leads to the necessity
of new theory to replace the existing one or modify it. This cycle goes on. (Give description
of Hawking’s work). New concepts emerge in all branches of science ( e.g. in the micro-
world of atoms, an electron behaves like a particle or wave, it being present with different
probabilities at many places at the same time, interconvertibility of mass and energy, etc.).
There is no long lasting theory. Absence of long lasting theory makes life unstable. Man is at
a loss to regulate his life. This leads to chaos. We are a witness to it. Is there a way out? YES.
Adopt a model which is eternal yet gives all the comforts of life. Indian models are excellent
sources using which present day ailments of social and monetary life are removed as well
besides providing a healthy ecology.

Ancient Indian seers provided models using which holistic view of the entire cosmos,
animate or inanimate world is taken. The results obtained using these models are valid even
to-day. It is interesting to see that some the observations of ancient Indian seers can be
compared with those of the 21st century world.

We must try to understand some basic tenets of Bhartiya Science Model which makes it
relevant even to-day. A model! Is there a model of Bharatiya Science? Let us consider it.

WHAT IS A MODEL?

Models can be understood and defined in many ways. It depends on the objective in view.
The present situation warrants a model using which one is able to describe this universe
(macro level and micro level). For such purposes we can classify models in the following
categories:

1. Abstract Models
2. Symbolic Models
3. Physical models

28
MODEL

ABSTRACT MODEL SYMBOLIC MODEL PHYSCIAL MODEL

All thought All Mathematical All material


Formulations Formulations Formulations

Darshan leads to thought process; thought process leads to formulations (mathematical) and
mathematical formulations and/or thought processes lead to physical models. It is the
DARSHAN which guides the adoption of subsequent steps in model formulations. First
Western Model was given by Aristotle (340 b.c.). He remained confined to thought process
related to physical world and its phenomena. He abhorred experimentation. He guided their
destiny of the western world for over one thousand years. Philosophy was merely the subject
of analyzing WORDS. It was only in 16th-17th centuries that this was substituted by
SYMBOLIC models. These Development Eras can be categorized as those

A. Up to Rene Descartes three areas are identified:


a. Astronomy( Copernicus, Galileo, Huygens)
b. Mechanics(Galileo, Huygens)
c. Opticks (Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Huygens)

B. After Rene Descartes:

Eminent scientists like Newton; Einstein; Quantum Mechanics; N. Bohr provided


different models. Latest are the Super-Strings, Unified Field theories, etc.

All the developments of science have taken place according to Symbolic and physical
modeling. Visible Objects have remained the only concern i.e. predominant method of the
study of nature remains MECHANISTIC. All scientific developments can be said as
SCIENTIFIC MATERIALISM.

To-day science is facing great difficulties in its march AND now they are looking towards
INDIA for possible solutions.

Seers of the ancient times provided Bharatiya Science model which incorporates all the three
types of models in a coherent manner. Bhartiya Science Model travels from unmanifest
(अवयक ) to manifest(वयक). Let us discuss the salient points of Bharatiya Science Model:

29
I. BASIS: The Basis of Bharatiya Science Model is the philosophy ( दिि ब ) which is
no word-speculation but is the realization in practice. The basic tenet is:

ईिािासयिमदमसिव यििकिच जगियां जगि ।


िेि ियकेि भुञजीथा मा गध
ृ ः कसयिसिदिम ् ।।

In order to realize the above mentioned goal one must follow the following:

कुिि
ब िेिेह कमािबि िजजीििषेचछिँसमाः।
एिं िििय िाियथेिोिसि ि कमब िलपयिे ििे ।।

To perform actions as stated above, one must remember the following:

अिधिमः पिििििि येS ििदामुपासिे ।


ििो भूय इि िे िमो य उ ििदायाँ ििाः ।।
ििदां चाििदां च यसिदे दोभयँ सह ।
अििदया मिृयुं िीििाब ििदयामि
ृ मशुिे ।।

Using the basis mentioned above, sages of ancient India lead us to physical concepts which
are contained in HINDU DARSHANS.

II THEORY ( Sankhya Darshan—A Holistic Science)

III LOGIC (Nyaya) and PHYSICAL SCIENCE (Vaisheshika)

IV. PRACTICAL APPLICATION (Yoga Vidya)

There was no automatic acceptance of any statement/theory. It was needed to be


subjected to the following processes:

पियक (Direct perception)-अिुमाि (Inference)-आगम (verbal arguments/sacred texts) –


पमािािि (proof).

Entire Hindu Science & Technology is developed on the basis and concepts mentioned above.

Is it possible for the modern science to make use of the facts/theories mentioned above?

The answer is a BIG YES. It is precisely because of this situation that the modern science is
trying to look into these aspects of Hindu Darshan for their possible application in scientific
affairs.

Let us briefly take up the following models for purposes of illustration:

A document published by eminent scientists of the world

30
18 November 1992: A document signed by 1575 scientists (including 100 Noble Laureates)
from all over the world was published in in the Atlanta Journal(U.S.A.). It says:
“We want to give an emergency warning to the entire humanity. We are fast approaching a
horrible situation. This warning is no exaggeration. Severe global environmental damage is
seriously endangering our ecology. ….. If nothing is done to rectify this situation then this
planet will not be able to sustain life. …….”

Warning signals are being felt throughout the world. It appears that we are heading towards
an ecological disaster..
Who is responsible for this state of affairs? Our western scientific outlook is directly
responsible for it. Is there a remedy? For the remedy we may turn to India and its ancient
Vidyas. Let us discuss one such vidya for the cure.

I.पंचाििि ििदा

1. Roots of ecology disaster and mechanics of harmonious living with nature as per 
Hindu scriptures
We are witnessing the greatest ever technological revolution. Technology has reshaped 
living conditions through different kinds of technical devices. Appliances for routine day­to­
day   living   business,   communication,   administration,   entertainment,   education,   publishing, 
etc. have undergone total transformations. Presence of computers is being felt in different 
walks   of   life.   Present   day   medical   science   has   made   significant   advances   towards   the 
eradication of human diseases. Mapping of complete genetic code of living beings has been 
done. This will lead to treatment of diseases by mere gene manipulation.
The cost of these technological changes in terms of consumption of natural resources 
and degradation has been enormous. Man is adding, everyday, a new source of environmental 
pollution. (A new form of pollution was reported in world famous U. S. SCIENCE Journal. 
Mexico city dwellers faced a veil of brown smog. This smog caused stinging of eyes and 
burning sensation of the throat. For over a decade this smog was attributed to the emissions 
from automobiles and factories. 1t has, now, been discovered that this smog was primarily 
due to the leakage of the liquefied petroleum gas from tanks and cylinders. It is a common 
knowledge that this gas is commonly used in homes for cooking and heating)
In order to understand the cause of this horrible situation we shall have to go back to the 
beginnings of industrial revolution. This industrial revolution can be related to the result of 
one invention: the invention of the Carnot cycle of thermodynamics. 1t is not the bicycle but a 
theoretical sequence of events arranged in a cyclic order. The related events executed in order 
are: process of induction of working fluid; process of compression of working fluid; process 
of expansion of the working fluid; and the process of the expulsion of used working fluid. 
Processes of compression and expansion take place inside a hypothetical engine. During the 
induction process the working fluid is drawn into the cylinder from outside and during the 
process   of   exhaust   the   used   working   fluid   is   emptied   into   the   “SINK”.   This   sink   is   the 
atmosphere. Sadi Carnot. the inventor of the Carnot cycle, assumed this sink to be of infinite 
size. It is this sink into which all exhausts are emptied. As the industrial revolution picked up 
momentum, this concept of infinite sink gained universal acceptance in all techno1ogica1 
deve1opments.   Thereafter   man   started   using   all   types   of   natura1   places   like   rivers, 

31
waste1ands, oceans and what not as infinite sink. It is on1y, now, that the man has started 
realizing that the assumed “INFINITE SINK” is in reality a “FINITE SINK”. It is this single 
concept of infinite sink that has been responsible for the pollution of our environment. With 
the passage of time the rate of increase of pollution has witnessed an exponential growth 
resulting in the present day havoc on earth.
Man possesses an insatiable desire to lead a perfectly comfortable living environment. 
Technology   provided   means   to   achieve   this   state.   We   have   coolers   and   air­conditioners;

situations   and   for   all   places;   a   myriad   of   entertainment   gadgets;   various   communication 
systems; a wide variety of modes of transport; enormous variety of dwelling places with all 
kinds   of   internal   amenities   etc.   To   get   these   set   of   things,   it   is   necessary   to   use   natural 
products and to put them to various kinds of transformations. Since the requirements are 
enormous,   therefore,   the   demand   on   natural   products   is   also   enormous.   To   meet   these 
requirements   natural   resources  have  been  exploited  to  the   maximum  possible  extent.  The 
result is extreme kind of shortages of natural products. This has led to the development of 
synthetic   products.   All   along   this   process,   unimaginable   quantities   of   waste   are   being 
exhausted into the natural environment. The 'Infinite sink' is gradually becoming 'finite' and 
the effects are visible in various forms of problems being faced by man. The entire science 
and   techno1ogica1   community   of   the   wor1d   is   worried   at   this   alarming1y   deteriorating 
situation.

Above mentined scnaio depcting horrible ecological imbalances has been caused due to 
wrong  scientific perceptions.The science and techno1ogy which aimed at providing comfort 
through the exploitation of nature will have to revise its philosophy and will have to relearn 
the method of harmonious living with nature. A solution to this vexed problem is available in 
the Hindu Darshan of harmonious 1iving with nature. One such vidya and its projections for 
ecological harmony is outlined below.

To ancient Indian seers there was no idle philosophy. No philosophy had any claim to 
recognition unless it had some bearing on life. The philosophy must provide 'Darshan' to  an 
ordinary mortal. Students were required to chant vedic mantras daily. Seers discouraged it as a 
mechanical   process   and   instead   encouraged   some   reflection   in   the   form   of   meditational 
upasna. In regard to achieving a harmonious living with nature one such upasna. is called 
panchagni­vidya (or the meditation on the five fires) and is worth consideration. According to 
this PANCHAGNI­VIDYA the whole world, sentient and insentient, is considered to be a 
homogeneous group of factors in a cosmic sacrifice involving five successive fires arranged 
in   the   order   of   their   subtleness.   They   are   all   knit   together   through   a   spirit   of   SELF 
SACRIF1CE, so that a new creation may emerge, new life may come into existence, at every 
stage. The ancients looked on all things and processes from a higher intellectual and spiritual 
plane. To them all things were agents in a sacrifice bringing new life into existence. IT 1S 
THE   SPIRIT   OF   SACRIFICE   AS   AN   AGENT   IN   CREATION   AND   NOT   AS   A 
HOMOSAPIEN,   THE   ENJOYER   OF   NATURE   which   lies   at   the   root   of   this   panchagni 
vidya.
Hindus daily worship and practice harmony with the Cosmos and nature (पकृ िि). One 
such Vedic mantra is given below:

Above mentioned Mantra, when followed in letter and spirit will enable a pollution free world to

4. Temporal Hindu worship and chrono­therapy

It is one of the simplest facts of life that the living body shows signs of malfunctioning 
through various diseases. It is said that ििीिमादम ् खलु धम ब साधिम ् Our rishis evolved a 
methodology  of   keeping  one’s  body  vehicle   in   a  fit  condition  through  the  observance   of 
certain  temporal actions.  This methodology  in modern day terminology  is  called  chrono­

35
therapy. Before we discuss the provisions of that” great old science of India let us discuss 
modern variants through the terminology of chrono­biology.

The science of rhythmic temporal biological phenomenon in living being is known as 
chronobiology. It is related to rhythmic temporal patterns of living systems. This phenomenon 
has been studied for over two centuries. It has been found that various physiological activities 
show variations during the day time. Some of these variations are listed below: 
Daily pattern of sleep and activity is one of the most obvious cyclic patterns of living. 
One’s pulse rate and blood pressure rise sharply early in the morning. Body temperatures rise 
during day time and fall off sharply at night. Number of hormones essential for the control of 
1ife’s processes, are secreted with faithfu1 circadian regularity. The number of white blood 
cells in the immune system also fluctuates regularly with a normal variation of as much as 
50% in a day. Why do all living organisms do virtually everything cyclically?
Daily cycles of life as well as seasonal and monthly ones arise because life evolved on this 
planet. The waxing and waning of light, heat and electromagnetic and gravitational forces 
cause rhythmic changes both in the availability of and in the physical medium in which the 
evolution was  unfolding.  It is very  important  to realize  that  the  rhythmic  organization  of 
temporal processes maximizes the stabiIity of living things and ensures that they not waste 
precious   energy.   For   a   stable   life   it   is   absolutely   necessary   that   there   is   a   continuous 
readjustment of internal and external dynamic requirements. This adjustment is cyclical, viz. 
a phase of production followed by an assessment of stability; then a midcourse correction 
based on feedback and then a return to the beginning of the  cycle. The breakdown of this 
cyclical temporal ordering has lethal consequences for the organism.
One of the most important practical applications of the understanding of the role of 
cycles in biology is the treatment of diseases. The treatment of diseases according to daily 
rhythms   is   referred   to   as   CHRONO­THERAPY.   Scientists,   the   world   over   have   tried   to 
unravel   the   mystery  of   nature   with   respect   to   temporal   response   of   drugs   in   the   cure   of 
ailments. Let us consider the case of a cardiovascular disease called myocardial iscemia. It is 
a disease which is caused due to partial blockage of coronary arteries. It means that some part 
of the heart muscle does not get enough blood supply. Several large scale studies have shown 
that ischemia is severe during the first four to six hours after people arise in the morning than 
it is at other times of the day. It is mainly influenced by circadian rhythms in pulse rate, blood 
pressure and interactions with the nervous system controlling involuntary functions. Many 
studies have shown that heart attacks strike twice as often in the morning as they do during 
the rest of the day. The severe heart attacks also result from a lack of blood supply to the heart 
muscle. Blood pressure is strongly circadian. The damage of the blood vessels is caused by 
severe shear stresses caused by the forces exerted on them through the flow of blood cells. 
The most pronounced increase in shear stress takes place when one gets up in the morning. 
Both   the   shear   stresses   and   the   blood   pressure   are   responsible   for   the   damage   of   blood 
vessels. To­day we know that the cardiovascular diseases are amongst very important sources 
of premature deaths of adults. Medical experts have realized that in the morning the heart’s 

36
need of oxygen should be decreased. They have been trying to solve this problem through, the 
administration of different kinds of drugs.
Throughout the world, very intensive and extensive research studies are being pursued to 
control cardiovascular diseases. But there appears to be no stable solution. Hindu saints long 
back   having   realized   the   importance   of   the   cyclical   variations   of   various   (internal   and 
external) body functions evolved a methodology using which occurrence of these ailments 
could be  prevented­this  course  of  prevention is contained in  the  method of worship.  Our 
saints devised a method of slowing down the pulse rate and blood pressure coupled with the 
control of involuntary nervous system functions through YOGIC PRACTICE and that too 
during very early hours of the day. This set of actions performed during the early hours of the 
morning, the time of most probable onset of heart attacks virtually eliminates the chances of 
failure of cardiovascular system and ensures longevity. Discussion on the technology of all 
this   is   not   possible   here.   This   hint   is   suggestive   of   the   enormous   potential   available   for 
handling   various   kinds   of   ills   (physical   and   psychological)   through   the   methodologies   of 
Hindu worship.

As a result of the use of Hindu models ancient sages were able to have science which is not
only relevant to-Day but can also be used by modern day science. Name of few areas for
possible future use by science are:

Hindu aviation science; inter-planetary voyages; cold fusion; gold making (transmutation of
elements); many Indian Technologies; holistic science of living and non-living; matter and
consciousness; discovery of underlying unity behind the universe.

Eddington, Shrodinger, Capra, Zukov, David Bohm, Rhinecourte, Talbot, Penrose, (even
Hawking could not escape the use of the word GOD) and others seek the God of Vedanta for
the solution of modern day science problems.

One Definition of ancient Hindu Science:

Matter:

Matter occupies space (Modern Definition)

41
Matter (दवय): According to Vaisheshika, the following is the definition of Matter:
पिृथवयापसिेजो िायुिाकािं कालोिदगािमा मि इिि दवयािि ।।
It is a remarkable definition. It includes energy, space and time as matter. Science has come to
the conclusion that matter and energy are two forms of the same thing. It has yet to
understand space and time as matter. Space-time continuum is an established concept. Let us
wait to see the future shaped as per the above definition

दवय सदै ि सथायी िहीं है औि उसकी िििभिि अिसथाऐं एिम ् गुि है ।


धमब िििेष पसूिाि दवय गुि कमब........(िै.द. 1.4)
(It means that in special circumstances Dravya, Guna etc. are produced or destroyed)

A Remark on VEDA VIJNANA ( )

Vedas occupy supreme position of respect in Hindu Society. They provide instructions and
directions for a happy and prosperous life. This ancient Hindu Encyclopedia contains a very
high level of philosophical & spiritual knowledge and important vidyas (sciences), viz.
Ayurveda (आयुिद े ) (the science of life); Sthapatyaveda (सथापिय िेद) ( the science of
architecture); Gandharvaveda (गिधिब िेद) ( the science of music, dance, drama); Dhanurveda
(धिुिदे ) ( the science of warfare); Shulba-sutras(िुलब सूि)(science of geometry), etc.. These
Vedas are rightly termed as the storehouse of knowledge for the entire humanity. This
knowledge is devoid of any dogma. This is not a belief but is fully corroborated by facts.. It is
a great misfortune that some of the western scholars treated Vedas as merely religious or
cultural books. To term Vedas so is to limit their importance. During the recent past, there has
been a sea change in the concept about Vedas. More and more scholars are trying to
understand their real purport. Studies of these Vedas are being carried out throughout the
world to understand their meanings related to modern sciences, technology, music,
philosophy, philology, etc. Some of the studies relate to most modern principles of
environmental conservation. Several Suktas of Rigveda (e.g. Purusha Sukta(पुरष सूक),
Nasdiya Sukta (िासदीय सूक), Hirandyagarbha Sukta(िहिणयगभ ब सूक), etc. ) have acquired
importance because of their contents. We quote an example from Nasadiya Sukta. This Sukta
discusses one of the theories of creation. This Sukta has used Salilam (सिललम ्), Apah(आपः),
ambh(अमभः) words . All these words have an apparent meaning of water (जल). A careful
analysis of contents would reveal that this is not so. Instead they refer to three different kinds
of fluids (!). Once this argument augers well with the translators, the Sukta starts unfolding its
richness of contents. It tells that these fluids which were in extreme heated states (Tapasa
(िपसा (!))) originated from Maya (माया) (!!). These fluids are plasmas. An extraordinary
explosion took place which led to the creation of our cosmos (Brahmand (बहाणड)) and
further expansion took place like that of atmospheric electricity or sun rays.

Vedas provide many clues to the ancient sciences which were in use in India but are not
available to the present science. One such example is the attraction of negative particles
(ऋिािु) of the sun. It is an example of an ancient Hindu science which must be investigated,
ब य ििदा) of the Vedas. We quote two shlokas from
probably using the Parjanya Vidya (पजि

42
the famous Hindu sacred book (Gita) which mentions about this vidya (vide Gita chapter III,
shloka 14-15):

अििादिििि भूिािि पजि


ब यादििसमभिः ।
य़जादििि पजि
ब यो यजः कमस
ब मुदिः ।।
कमब बहोदिं िििद बहाकिसमुदिम ् ।
िसमािसिग
ब िं बह ििियं यजे पिििििम ् ।।

These shlokas say that all Bhutas (भूि ) are created out of Anna (अिि ) and the Anna is
created out of Parjanya (पजि ब य ). If the conventional meaning is adopted then we do not go
beyond the words. These words as technical and codified and we must decode them. Once we
are able to do that, this vidya will start unfolding itself. This is a very potent example to prove
or disprove the assertions of Vedas. One very famous saint of Varanasi (Swami
Vishuddhananda Ji) used to invoke this science of attracting sun’s energy for materializing
physical objects.

Vedas have been studied and used in India for religious, philosophical, cultural and scientific
enquiry. Bhartiya rishis and munis provided the sight (Drishti (दिि)) to understand this
literature. They did intense sadhana to acquire competence in this direction.. Interpretation of
Vedic hymns is an extraordinarily difficult task. Any effort to understand Veda-Vijnana will
be unsuccessful if the study is not coupled with that of the Samhita (संिहिा),
Aryanaks(आिणयक), Brahmins(बाहि) and Upnishads(उपििषद) besides the use of Nirukta(िि
रक) and other instruments. Different Vedas are required to be studied with the help of
different instruments. It has to be noted very carefully: “िेद भाषा बहुमुखी है .” कृ षि यजुिद

orders for its understanding simultaneous use of अिधभूि, अिधदै ि, आधयिम, अिधलोक,
अिधजयोििष िथा अिधयज. Use of grammar alone for the interpretation of Vedas will result
in unintelligible outcomes. It is evidenced by such interpretations produced by some of the
learned scholars.

One of the fall outs of the Vedic studies undertaken in the past, with the extensive use of
Upanishads, is the emergence of YOGA VIDYA. This has been thoroughly tested throughout
the world. Yoga is now a universally sought-out medium. It is an interesting fact to consider
that spirituality as a subject has become part of the curriculum of leading Business Schools in
U.S.A. One of the reasons of this adoption is that yoga explains the process of connection of
mind to body which helps tackle to-day’s serious problems of stress at the school, home and
the workplace. Vedas provide a comprehensive explanation of consciousness. Modern
conceptions about mind and consciousness do not go beyond the ability to perceive through
the senses as the result of bio-chemical processes of the brain. But Vedic literature uncovers
the super-intelligent energy behind the unconsciousness. The key to achieving higher levels
of awareness lies in tapping this latent energy in an individual.

Vedic sciences lay emphasis on the holistic view of life whereas the modern concept of life
of the man is that of a materialist. This has led to the emergence of the present era in which
we find extreme kind of material prosperity but near total chaos. Degradation of the
environment, it appears, is beyond repair. It is time to create a new world science in which

43
man is not a humanoid but is a real human who is in complete command of his environment
and artifacts rather than their slave. This is possible through the studies of Vedic literature and
their implementation. It is worthwhile to quote the following Mantra from Ishavasyopanishad
(ईिािासयोपििषद) :
अिधं िमः पिििििि येS ििदामुपासिे ।
ििो भूय इि िे िमो य उ ििदायाँििाः ।।9।।
ििदां चाििदां च यसिदे दोभयँसह ।
अििदया मिृयुं िीििाब ििदयाS मि ृ मशुिे ।।11।।
Above mentioned Mantras of the famous upnishad provide us an exceedingly important
message. According to mantra(9) one who devotes only to physical sciences falls into
blinding darkness; but into greater darkness than that enter they who are engaged only in
meditation (adhyatma). AND according to mantra (11): Overcome the causes of death
through the physical sciences and attain higher consciousness (immortality) through spiritual
sciences. These two mantras together give us a glimpse of the basic philosophy life of Vedic
seers. Either material or Spiritual practices adopted all alone will be harmful but the two
practiced together will lead to extreme kind of happiness, the goal of every human being. In a
nutshell this tells us to adopt a holistic view of life for alleviating pain and achieving
happiness.

Vijnana Bharati aims to provide a holistic science through the application of the contents
from ancient shastras (िास). This science will provide a methodology for coordinating the
two extreme views of life. This will ultimately alleviate suffering, a goal to be achieved by
the humanity.

India in 2020 and beyond and its future science:

We must have a vision for our development. We must not be followers. We must be world
leaders. For this to achieve, we shall have to have our own self introspection, carve out our

44
future vision, then implementation plan and finally to detail out our methodology for
fulfilling objectives set out in our vision.
