Hinduism and Science Today
Stories from Hindu scriptures go beyond galaxies
My family was a traditional Hindu Brahmin home.
Father had studied Sanskrit and holy texts with great proficiency; he understood the Puranas and the Vedas very well.
Plus, he was surprisingly impressed with Islam and well-versed in both Arabic and Islam.
Thus.
My early years were spent lost in the captivating stories found in the Hindu Puranas.
Lord Vishnu, the protector of the universe, had a dedicated devotee, Narada.
Narada was believed to have the power to travel across planets and even travel through time.
Man with telescopic eyes and a power to pass through times-past, present, and future.
A character by the name of Sanjaya in the epic Mahabharata is able to see what is happening in real time on the battlefield.
Perhaps this was a more sophisticated sort of televiewing than what we have now.
Sanjaya had the ability to look into the past, present, and future with his divine sight, as mentioned in Mahabharat.
Modern science estimates that there are between 7.4 and 10.0 million species on Earth.
Our modern scientists are still unable to ascertain the exact number, despite achieving unexpected scientific successes.
The precise number of 8.4 million was stated in Hindu texts thousands of years ago.
The Rigveda’s account of Hindu cosmology offers an amazing picture of living things as well as non-living ones and their unique consciousness.
It also provides interpretations of the multiverse concept.
Could you believe?
The discovery of the microscope in 1670 marked the beginning of science’s discovery of germs but, the Hindu Puranas amazingly referenced them thousands of years earlier.
Missile technology is really modern or ancient!
Several thousand years ago, during the reign of Lord Ram, more sophisticated missile technology was available.
Bharat, the brother of Ram, shot an arrow over a thousand and three hundred miles from Ayodhya to Sri Lanka.
Could you compare that with modern missile?
This arrow missile was also capable of supporting a mountain’s weight.
Plenty of instances imply that humanity in those times had technology that disregarded Earth’s gravitational pull.
The king of Sri Lanka, Ravana had an aeroplane “Pushpak” equipped with AI.
A magnificent tale is being told deep within the cosmos, where the foundation of reality and the ethereal space of quantum mechanics collide.
Hindu scriptures tell a story that crosses galaxies, explores the darkest recesses of the human psyche, and combines philosophy, science, and mysticism.
