Vedic Science: Exploring the Ancient Knowledge System



The Vedas, which date back to over 5,000 years, are a collection of ancient texts that represent the spiritual and cultural heritage of India. They are considered to be the oldest and most comprehensive scriptures in the world and contain a wealth of knowledge about various aspects of life. Vedic science, which is the study of the Vedas, is a holistic and ancient knowledge system that covers a wide range of disciplines, including mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy.

The Vedas are divided into four main categories: the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda, and the Atharvaveda. Each of these Vedas has several sub-sections, and they cover a vast range of subjects. The Rigveda, for instance, contains hymns, mantras, and rituals related to various deities, while the Yajurveda deals with the sacrificial ceremonies performed during ancient Vedic times.

One of the most significant contributions of Vedic science to the world is the concept of zero. The ancient Indians, through their study of mathematics, realized the importance of having a symbol to represent nothing. This led to the development of the numeral system that we use today, including the concept of zero. Vedic mathematicians also made significant contributions to algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.

In the field of astronomy, the Vedas contain detailed descriptions of the solar system and its components. The Rigveda, for example, describes the sun as the center of the solar system and the planets orbiting around it. Vedic astronomers also accurately calculated the duration of a year and the movements of the celestial bodies.

The Vedas also contain a wealth of knowledge about medicine and healing. Ayurveda, which is a branch of Vedic science, is a holistic system of medicine that has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of mind, body, and spirit and uses natural remedies and lifestyle changes to prevent and treat diseases.

In addition to these scientific disciplines, the Vedas also contain philosophical teachings that provide insights into the nature of existence, consciousness, and the universe. The Upanishads, which are a collection of philosophical texts, provide a framework for understanding the ultimate reality and the purpose of human life.

Despite its ancient origins, Vedic science continues to be relevant today. Many of the principles and practices of Vedic science have been adopted by modern disciplines such as yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda. These practices have been shown to have significant health benefits, including reducing stress, improving mental clarity, and promoting overall well-being.

In conclusion, Vedic science is a comprehensive and ancient knowledge system that covers a wide range of disciplines, including mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. Its contributions to the world are significant and have had a lasting impact on various fields of study. The principles and practices of Vedic science continue to be relevant today and offer valuable insights into the nature of existence and human life.

Srimad Bhagwatam 10.89.46 — Having thus advised Arjuna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead had Arjuna join Him on His divine chariot, and together they set off toward the west. SB 10.89.47 — The Lord’s chariot passed over the seven islands of the middle universe, each with its ocean and its seven principal mountains. Then it crossed the Lokāloka boundary and entered the vast region of total darkness. SB 10.89.48-49 — In that darkness the chariot’s horses — Śaibya, Sugrīva, Meghapuṣpa and Balāhaka — lost their way.

The four category of Universe Annihilation.

The four category of Universe Annihilation.    Srimad Bhagwatam 12, chapter 4 Sukadeva Gosvami said: My dear King, I have already described to you the measurements of time, beginning from the smallest fraction measured by the movement of a single atom up to the total life span of Lord Brahma. I have also discussed the measurement of the different millennia of universal history. Now hear about the time of Brahma’s day and the process of annihilation. One thousand cycles of four ages constitute a single day of Brahma, known as a kalpa. In that period, O King, fourteen Manus come and go . After one day of Brahma, annihilation occurs during his night, which is of the same duration. At that time all the three planetary systems are subject to annihilation. This is called the naimittika , or occasional, annihilation, during which the original creator, Lord Narayana, lies down upon the bed of Ananta Sesa and absorbs the entire universe within Himself while Lord Brahma sleeps. When the...

Four cosmic ages (yugas) ( 4.32 Billions Years )

  Four cosmic ages (yugas ) When explaining the various measurements of time, Vishnu Purana (1.3), Srimad Bhagavatam (3.11.18-39), Bhagavad-gita (8.17), Vayu Purana (chapter 57) and others, such as the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva, 231.12-20), all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas, as explained below. One cycle of the four yugas together is 12,000 years of the devas called divine years. Each of these years is composed of 360 days, and each of their days is equal to one human year. So Krta-yuga is 4000 divine years in length, Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length, Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length, and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long, with the addition of the conjoining portions of the sandhya and sandhyamsa. Each yuga is preceded by a period called a sandhya, which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga. Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a sandhyamsa of the same length. In...
