Mathematics owes allegiance to Vedam
Mathematics in Vedam
‘Ganita’ the term, is derived from the root ‘gana’, which means to count or to enumerate.
‘Raashividya’ is used for mathematics in Chhandogya Upanishad (7.1.2). Shuklayajureda reveal the knowledge of odd numbers and tables (18/24,25). The Brahmana texts like ; ‘ekasmai svaha, dvabhyam svaha, tribhyah svaha’
reflect the vedic concept of arithmetical progressions. Pingala sutra discourses on the calculation of squares and square roots. Brahma-sphuta-siddhanta’ covers very briefly the arithmetical operations,
square and cube roots, interest, progressions, geometry and simple algebraic identities.
Lilavati, Bijaganita of Bhaskaracharya, Ganitasarasangraha of Mahaviracharya, Trishati of Shridhara, Bijaganita of Narayan are some prominent treatises on Indian Mathematics based on Veda sutras.
Chemistry, Alchemy, Medicine… owe allegiance to Vedam
Chemistry, Alchemy, Medicine… all from Vedam
Advanced chemical science have distinct feature in the Vedic contents like the Brahmanas.
The knowledge of chemistry was current since the Vedic era, praising Agni (The fire), as we see in the first sukta of the Rigveda.
The chemical action was known as the pakaprakriya. Metallurgy, one of the main branches of chemistry has remained as
the central key to all the civilizations owes inputs to Vedas. Infact, the basic idea of smelting is the Rig vedam.
The Caraka Sath Samhita mentions how to prepare sulphuric acid, nitric acid, the oxides of copper tin and zinc, the sulphate of copper, zinc and iron and the carbonates of lead and iron.
The weapons mentioned in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana were actually the products of Chemistry.
Architecture, Civil Engineering, Town Planning... Owe allegiance to Vedam
Architecture, Civil Engineering, Town Planning... from Vedam
Mayamata, Manasara, Vishvakarma - VastuShastra, Samaranganasutradhara, Aparajita - Priccha, Manasollasa, Prasadamandana, Shilparatnam etc. are treatise on Architecture based on Vedic hyms.
There are innumerable references in Rigveda which indicate a very advanced Vastushilpa.
The Vedic deities Mitra and Varuna are described residing in a great palace with thousand pillars and thousand gates.
Engineering, Automobile, Weaponry.. Owe Allegiance to Vedam
Engineering, Automobile, Weaponry.. All from Vedam
The samarangana-sutradhara describes three classes of yantras
(i) yana yantra – conveyances like vimanas and chariots,
(ii) udakayantra – water machines – variyantra and dharayantra,
(iii) sangramayantra – weaponary - like Agneyastra, Varunastra, bhushundi, shataghni, sahasraghni etc.
Astronomy, Astrology… Owe allegiance to Vedam
Astronomy, Astrology… All from Vedam
The word ‘Nakshatradrashta’ is used for an Astronomer in Shuklayajurveda (30/10) and ‘Nakshatravidya’ for Astronomy in Chhandogya Upanishad (7/1/2).
Many stars are mentioned in Atharvaveda. We also find natural scientific observations regarding the course of the planets. The Aitareya Brahmana (3/44) says that the sun actually neither rises nor sets but through earth’s revolution round the sun, causes day and night.
The Astronomy is closely associated with astrology and both owe allegiance to the Vedam
Vedam has always been the root of all knowledge base in this world.
Vedam
Be it.. Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Engineering, Alchemy, Metallurgy, Medicine, Astrology, Astronomy, Sociology, Physiology, Psychology…
Of course now universally known Eastern Philosophy (Vedic Philosophy), Yoga, Astrology and Ayurveda…
Vedam has been the root of all knowledge base
