all over the world including USA?
Our Success is due to
10,000 Years of Disciplined Vedic Way of Life
which is in our Genes.
But if we deviate and take to
Disco, Dance, Drugs &
Seek continuous Forgetfulness in
TV, Film Music, Entertainments, Gadgets etc
We will surely become
the Dullest community in 500 years.

Quotes
On
Vedic Knowledge

34
J. Robert Oppenheimer, (1904-1967)
American nuclear Scientist
Father of the Atomic Bomb (1945)
"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst into
the sky, that would be like the splendor of the
Mighty One. . . . Now I am become death, the
destroyer of worlds.“
Oppenheimer "the father of the atomic bomb"
quoting from the Hindu scripture Bhagavad-
Gita upon witnessing the mushroom cloud
resulting from the detonation of the world’s
first atomic bomb in New Mexico, U.S.A., on
July 16, 1945.
“Access to the Vedas is the greatest
privilege this century may claim over all
previous centuries.”

35
Albert Einstein
(1879 -1955):
“When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect
about how God created this universe
everything else seems so superfluous.”
"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us
how to count, without which no worthwhile
scientific discovery could have been made.”
“I have made the Gita as the main source of my
inspiration and guide for the purpose of
scientific investigations and formation of my
theories.”

36
On the dualism of mind and matter
"The only solution to this conflict, in so
far as any is available to us at all, lies in
the ancient wisdom of the Upanishad."
Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961),
Austrian theoretical physicist, Nobel Laureate 1933
“Some blood transfusion from the East to the West”
to save Western science from spiritual anemia.”
The unity and continuity of Vedanta are reflected in the unity and
continuity of wave mechanics. In 1925, the world view of physics was a
model of a great machine composed of separable interacting material
particles.

37
I go into the Upanishads to ask
questions.
Niels Henrik David Bohr (1885-1962)
Danish nuclear physicist who developed the

French Nobel laureate, thinker

41
Dr. Arnold Joseph Toynbee,
British Historian `A Study of History'
(1889-1975):
"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
self-destruction of the human race.
At this supremely dangerous
moment in human history, the only
way of salvation for mankind is the
Indian way."

42
Alfred B. Ford
(grandson of Henry Ford founder of the Ford Motor)
Trustee member of Ford Motor Company
For me the most important
thing is to spread the Hindu
knowledge about the soul.
This is more important than any other
knowledge and is my main priority.
The older I get,
the more Hindu I become.

43
"India was the motherland of our race,
and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages;
she was the mother of our philosophy;
mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics;
mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in
Christianity; mother, through the village community, of
self-government and democracy.
Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all".
“India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of the
mature mind, the quiet content of the unacquisitive soul,
the calm of the understanding spirit,
and a unifying, a pacifying love for all living things.”
Will Durant,
American historian, (1885-1981)
Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all".

44
“The motion of the stars calculated by the
Hindus before some 4500 years vary
not even a single minute from the tables of
Cassine and Meyer (used in the 19-th
century).
…The Hindu systems of astronomy are by far
the oldest and that from which the Egyptians,
Greek, Romans and - even the Jews derived
from the Hindus their knowledge.”
Jean-Sylvain Bailly,
French Astronomer,
(1736-1793):

Reincarnation
Amongst
Different Communities
Through The Ages

61
I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I
was 26. Religion offered nothing to the point.
When I discovered reincarnation…. Time was
no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to
the hands of the clock. The discovery of
Reincarnation put my mind at ease. I
would like to communicate to others the calmness
that the long view of life gives to us."
American Auto Industrialist Henry Ford

71
Misnomers – 1. Numerals and Decimal Systems are actually Hindu
findings since Vedic Times. Vedic Pancanga has terms like
Prathama, Dwitiya, …. Navami, Dashami, Ekadasi, Dwadasi etc.
which mean first, second, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth days of
a month. Eka Dasi means one more than ten and Dwa Dasi means
two more than ten.
Ancient Hindu Number System reached Europe via Arabia. Hence the
Europeans called these as Arabic Numerals. In Arabia these are called
Hindusa ie from the Hindus. Indian numbers and Zero are as old as Vedas
In Vedas, there are two words for Zero – Shunyam &
Pujyam which mean ‘Nothing’ & ‘Respected’ respectively.
Four minus four is Shunyam and when zero is added
to four to make it forty, then the zero is Pujyam.

to count, without which no worthwhile scientific

Misnomers – 2. Pythagorus Theorem is explained by sage

Misnomers3. Vasco-da-Gama-1498 AD did not discover the Sea
Route to India. His broken ship was towed from Africa to Kerala by a
Gujarati sailor doing regular business with African countries. (Ref.
Amar Chitra Katha & diary of Vascoda Gama in Lisbon museum)
Portuguese emperor gifted Vasco da Gama the biggest ship in Europe
and this was towed by an ordinary Indian ship. India and China had the
biggest ships in the world in those days.
Indian shipping industry is as old as 5,000 years.
Lothal in Gujarat, Pumpuhar in Tamil Nadu were very
ancient sea ports larger than many present day ports.
Raja Raja Cholan (1000 AD) 500 years before Vascoda Gama
had traveled by armored ship to South East Asia and China.
At least four ancient Hindu sailors had gone by ship to America
thousand years before Columbus and Vascoda Gama. (Irvine Wallace)

Misnomers 4. Laws of Gravity were not discovered by
Sir Issac Newton in 1684 AD.
Vedic seers knew
 that earth is Round (Bhu-Gol),
 Earth goes round the Sun in 365 days
(hence gave 360 degrees for a circle),
 details of the Solar System and its planets
Magic of 108. Hindus consider 108 as a holy number. WHY?
Diameter of Sun ÷ Diameter of Earth = 108
Distance between Sun and earth ÷ Diameter of Sun = 108
Distance between Earth and Moon ÷ Diameter of Moon = 108

Vedic Jyotish Shastra 10,000 years before and
Aryabhatt in 510 AD knew the value of Pie, g and
about planetary motions.
Hindus used these knowledge in Jyotish Shastra in the
making of Pancangas (Hindu Calendars).

Misnomers-5. Edward Jenner did
not invent Vaccination for Small Pox
Edward Jenner was a Medical Officer in
East India Company in South India.
Charaka
2,000 BC Medicine
Sushruta
2,000 BC Surgery
He learnt Vaccination for Smallpox from Tamil
Nadu doctors who used to inject small pox germ
fluid from a patient into a healthy cow/ oxen and
then inject cowpox germ fluid to healthy villagers.
Villagers then would develop resistance to Small
pox infection.

76
Misnomers- 6 Bhel Samhita in the Ayur Veda
a few thousand years before and not William Harvey (1628 AD)
first explained Circulatory System of Blood.
The word Hridaya which means Heart occurs in Vedas at several places
According to Nirukta, the Vedic dictionary, the word
Hridaya is formed from three words
Hri from Hareti to Receive
Da from Dadati to give
Ya from Iyati to circulate or move
These in fact are the three functions of the Heart which was known to
the Vedic seers a few thousand years before the birth of William Harvey

77
Misnomers-7. Marconi did not invent Radios!
Radio was invented by Sir Jagdish Chandra
Bose.
Bose's invention was published in the Proceedings of the
Royal Society, London, on April 27, 1899. Over two
years later Marconi published his first wireless
communication on December 12, 1901, from
Newfoundland, now in Canada.
Marconi’s childhood friend Luigi Solari stole the diary
and transmitter of Bose in 1899 and gave Marconi a
modified version of the transmitter.
Marconi used the Radio Set and the diary of Dr. Jagdish
Chandra Bose.
IEEE has condemned this as one of the worst thefts by a
scientist in its Jan 1998 issue.
Never believe such Italians.

Sushruta Three thousand years ago performed Plastic
surgery. Vishpala a female warrior of the Vedic period had
artificial legs fitted to her after she fell down from a horse.

Microsoft
Vinod Dham invented Pentium Chips that we all
use in Computers. He was working for INTEL
Dr Praven Choudhary invented the Re-writable
CDs and sold to IBM
Today Philips, Sony and other companies are making millions
of dollars out of the research done by Hindu scientists.

Yavad Unena As much the difference
Tavad Uni Krut So much further difference
Vargam Cha Yojayet Square the Difference
Step-1: Find D the difference. 98 is 02 less than 100.
Hence D = 02
Step-2: Subtract D from the number 98 – D = 98 – 02 = 96
Step-3: Square the Difference = D2 = 04

The Hindu calendrical day starts with local sunrise.
It is allotted five "properties", called anga-s. They are:
1. the tithi active at sunrise
2. the vaasara or weekday
3. the nakshatra in which the moon resides at sunrise
4. the yoga active at sunrise
5. the karana active at sunrise.
01. Tithi (Date …)
Prathama, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Chaturthi, ….. Paurnami or Amavasya

04. Yoga
Yoga computation involves dividing the sum of the longitudes of the sun and moon into 27 parts.
First one computes the angular distance along the ecliptic of each object, taking the ecliptic to
start at Mesha or Aries (Meshādi, as defined above): this is called the longitude of that object. The
longitude of the sun and the longitude of the moon are added, and normalized to a value ranging
between 0° to 360° (if greater than 360, one subtracts 360.) This sum is divided into 27 parts. Each
part will now equal 800' (where ' is the symbol of the arcminute which means 1/60 of a degree.) These
parts are called the yoga-s. They are labeled:
1.Vishkambha
2.Prīti
3.Āyushmān
4.Saubhāgya
5.Shobhana
6.Atiganda

26. Māhendra

108
05. Karana
A karana is half of a tithi. To be precise, a karana is the time required for the angular
distance between the sun and the moon to increase in steps of 6° starting from 0°.
(Compare with the definition of a tithi above.)
Since the tithi-s are thirty in number, one would expect there to be sixty karana-s. But
there are only eleven. There are four "fixed" karana-s and seven "repeating" karana-s.
The four "fixed" karana-s are:
1.Kimstughna
2.Shakuni
3.Chatushpād
4.Nāgava
The seven "repeating" karana-s are:
1.Bava
2.Bālava
3.Kaulava
4.Taitula
5.Garajā
6.Vanijā
7.Vishti (Bhadrā)
