KAPIL MUNI: Finding how
the
universe was
created
According to Kapil Muni,
are twenty-five
principles
responsible for the
manifestation
of the Creation
(Samasara), out
of which Purusha and
Prakriti
are eternal and
independent of
each other.
Kapila is not concerned to deny
the reality of personal God or
Maheshwara. Yet his assertion
is that, no arguments can
irrefutably establish God's
reality.
YUGA CONCEPT
Our Indians measure time in terms of
motion of celestial bodies. According
to our Vedas, There are five
Mandalas.They are 1. Chandhra Mandala
2. Prudhvi Mandala
3. Surya Mandala
4. Paramesty Mandala
5. Swayambu Mandala
Each mandala will revolve around the next
mandala. Due to this revolutions, months,
years Occur.
ONE MONTH
The time taken by chandhra mandala to revolve
around Prudhvi mandala is ONE MONTH.
ONE MONTH = 30 DAYS
The time taken by prudhvi mandala to revolve around Surya mandala is ONE YEAR.
ONE YEAR = 365 DAYS
1 YEAR
ONE MANVANTHARAM
The time taken by the Paramesty mandal to revolve around the
Swayambu mandal (centre of the Universe) is ONE KALPAKAM.
ONE KALPAKAM
432 CRORE
YEARS. is the maximum time period
KALPAKAM
measured by our RUSHIES.
During one KALPAKAM srusti is continued and
during one KALPAKAM srusti is stopped.
KALPAKAM is the L.C.M of time periods of rotation
of planets
1000th Part of MAHAYUGAM is called
KALIYUGA.Twice of KALIYUGA is called
DWAPARAYUGA.Thrice of KALIYUGA is called
TRETAYUGA.Four times of KALIYUGA is called

YUGA CONCEPT
The following are the corelations of yuga concept
with science
1. In the time of our Vedas ,we know the motions of
the celestial bodies.
2. American scientists and Geologists had
conducted many chemical and geological tests
such as carbon dating and finalized that the life
span of earth is approximately 457 crore years.
The largest time measured by us is Kalpa.It is
432 crore years (span of sristi).
Both values are approximately equal.
YUGA CONCEPT
3. According to our Vedas, the time of
evolution of life on earth is
197,29,49,105 years.
According to famous scientist Charles
Darwin (19th Century), the evolution of life
on the earth is approximately 200 crore
years
Both
values are nearly equal.

The Indian Sage who developed Atomic
Theory
600 years ago
John Dalton (1766 1844), an
English chemist and physicist,
is the man credited today with
the development of atomic
theory.
However, a theory of atoms
was actually formulated 2,500
years before Dalton by an
Indian sage and philosopher,
known as Acharya Kanad.
Acharya Kanad was born in
600 BC in Prabhas Kshetra
(near Dwaraka) in Gujarat,
India. His real name was
Kashyap. It was Kanada who
originated the idea that anu
(atom) was an indestructible
particle of matter.
ARYABHATT
He was a master Astronomer
and Mathematician, born in 476
CE in Kusumpur (Bihar).
In 499 CE, 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 1,000 years before Copernicus
published his heliocentric theory.

Anago
interesting story states that
this theory occurred to him
while he was walking with food
in his hand.
As he nibbled at the food in his
hand, throwing away the small
particles, it occurred to him
that he could not divide the
food into further parts and thus
the idea of a matter which
cannot be divided further came
into existence.
He called that indivisible
matter anu, i.e. molecule,
which was misinterpreted as
atom.
He also stated that anu can
have two states - Absolute rest
and a State of motion.
xistence of Atomic and Sub atomic
Eparticles
The world accounts discovery
of
atoms and sub atomic particles
to
Western scientists who coined
these words and theories only in
the early 17th century.
An excerpt from Lalitha
Sahasranama, told by
Hayagreeva
to Agasthya muni, dating back to
the distant ages of the
past,describes the Goddess as
the
super consciousness/Brahman
that
pervades even the sub atomic
particles within matter.
" :
The word "anuvu" means atom.
Newtons Law
200 Years before Newton
Objects fall on the 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.
The meaning of these lines is parallel to
that of Newtons Law of Gravity.
But these lines are not said by
the European scientist. They are
said by an Indian - in Surya
Siddhanta, dated 400-500 AD,
the ancient Hindu astronomer
Bhaskaracharya states these
lines.
Approximately 1200 years later (1687
AD), Sir Isaac Newton rediscovered this
phenomenon

SAGE
BHARADWAJ
In 1875, the VymaanikaShaastra, a fourth century BC
text written by Maharshi
Bhardwaj, was discovered in a
temple in India.
The book dealt with the
operation of ancient vimanas
and included information on
steering, precautions for long
flights, protection of the
airships from storms and
lightning, and how to switch
the drive to solar energy, or
some other free energy
source. Vimanas were said to
take off vertically or dirigible.
Bharadwaj the Wise refers to
no less than 70 authorities and
10 experts of air travel in
antiquity.

CHARAKA SAMHITA
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 and
ethical charter for medical
practitioners two centuries prior
to the Oath.
Through his genius and intuition,
Acharya Charak forever remains
etched in the annals of history as
one of the greatest and noblest
of rishi-scientists.

Ancient science knows more than
modern science?
The Vedas claim that there
are living entities
everywhere - even in fire.
Modern science, however,
presumed that no life could
exist in fire.
This presumption is in fact
the basis for the process of
sterilization.
But recent advancements
in the field of medicine
have shown that microbes
called 'fire bacteria' survive
even in fire.

Using a variety of complicated
instruments, gynecologists have
gradually come to know how the
embryo grows during the period
of pregnancy.
But the ,
3rd canto, 30th chapter, gives a
vivid description of the growth of
the embryo in the mother's
womb.
If we compare the information
given therein with the information
given in a standard textbook such
as the embryology section of
Gray's Anatomy, there are
striking similarities in the
information obtained from the two
sources.
Varahamihira
Varahamihir's book "panch
siddhant", noted 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, Varahamihir
presents cures for various
diseases afflicting plants
and trees.

Rasa Vaidya- Acharya
Nagarjuna
The following are the
examples.
Artificial transformation can
be possible if the atomic
numbers are very close to
each other.
So to obtain GOLD through
artificial transformation, the
metal to be selected is
MERCURY.
ssibleithe atomic
numbers are 79Au197

Hg201
Nagarjuna explained the methods to
extract silver,gold, tin,copper from
their alloys.
Even now ,scientists refer
Rasaratnakaramfor the details of the
compounds ofMercury.
He prepared so many alloys which
are exactly similar to the Gold.
The process of extracting Gold from
Mercury is called Rasavidya which is
well known to Nagarjuna.It is also
called as Alkemi Vidya.
So long scientists thought that , it is
impossible to convert one element
into another element because their
atomic numbers are different. So their
properties are different.
But Ruther fort proved that one
element can be converted in to
another element artificially. This
