Speed of Light is calculated in Vedas more accurately than Einstein did Ancient Vedic science “Nimisharda” is a phrase used in Indian languages of Sanskrit origin while referring to something that happens/moves instantly, similar to the ‘blink of an eye’. Nimisharda means half of a Nimesa, (Ardha is half). In Sanskrit ‘Nimisha’ means ‘blink of an eye’ and Nimisharda implies within the blink of an eye. This phrase is commonly us ed to refer to instantaneous events. Below is the mathematical calculations of a research done by S S De and P V Vartak on the speed of light calculated using the Rigvedic hymns and commentaries on them. The fourth verse of the Rigvedic hymn 1:50 (50th hymn in book 1 of rigveda) is as follows: तरणिर्विश्वदर्शतो जयोतिष्क्र्दसि सूर्य | विश्वमा भासिरोचनम | taraNir vishvadarshato jyotishkrdasi surya | vishvamaa bhaasirochanam || which means: “Swift and all beautiful art thou, O Surya (Surya=Sun), maker of the light, Illumining all the radiant realm.” Commenting ...

क्या कभी किसी ने सोचा है की इतिहास के नाम पर हम झूठ क्यों पढ़ रहे है?? सारे प्रमाण होते हुए भी झूठ को सच क्यों बनाया जा रहा है?? हम हिंदुओं की बुद्धि की आज ऐसी  दशा हो गयी है की अगर एक आदमी की पीठ मे खंजर मार कर हत्या कर दी गयी हो और उसको आत्महत्या घोषित कर दिया जाए तो कोई भी ये भी सोचने का प्रयास नही करेगा की कोई आदमी खुद की पीठ मे खंजर कैसे मार सकता है....यही हाल है हम सब का की सच देख कर भी झूठ को सच मानना फ़ितरत बना ली है हमने..... ***दिल्ली का लाल किला शाहजहाँ से भी कई शताब्दी पहलेपृथवीराज चौहान द्वारा बनवाया हुआ लाल कोट है*** जिसको शाहजहाँ ने पूरी तरह से नष्ट करने की असफल कोशिश करी थी ताकि वो उसके द्वारा बनाया साबित हो सके..लेकिन सच सामने आ ही जाता है. *इसके पूरे साक्ष्य प्रथवीराज रासो से मिलते है *शाहजहाँ से २५० वर्ष पहले १३९८ मे तैमूर लंग ने पुरानी दिल्ली का उल्लेख करा है (जो की शाहजहाँ द्वारा बसाई बताई जाती है) *सुअर (वराह) के मुह वाले चार नल अभी भी लाल किले के एक खास महल मे लगे है. क्या ये शाहजहाँ के इस्लाम का प्रतीक चिन्ह है या हमारे हिंदुत्व के प्रमाण?? *किले के एक द्वा...

Browsing through the articles on "Devdutt"s  website, I found the thought process and style of writing that would resonate with any young person who is curious about Hinduism irrespective of where they are born or raised. For a parent, there is a lot to learn too – understanding the underpinnings of Hindu mythology and more importantly how to introduce children to it. Dr. Pattanaik was kind enough to answer some questions are relevant to parents like myself. 1.    What is the best way to introduce Hinduism to young children who are an ethnic and religious minority in the country where they are born and being raised? I think the children must be told that different people look at the world differently. This is the most critical thought that a child must be given. A cat looks at water differently from a fish. A horse looks at grass differently from a lion. So differently people see the world differently. Once this idea is established children mu...

Published in Devlok, Sunday Midday, Jan. 20, 2013 Lakshmi sits at the feet of Vishnu. “Patriarchy!” someone shouts. ·      Kali stands on Shiva’s chest. “Female power!” someone cheers. ·      Shiva as Ardhanareshwar, half a woman. “Gender equality,” someone asserts. These images are at least a thousand years old. They are as popular today as they were then. So what do they say about Indian society? Patriarchal? Matriarchal? Gender-sensitive? All of the above? None of the above? All of the above confuses us, as Indian society is undoubtedly patriarchal, but not as uniformly and universally as media would like us to believe and the West is eager to publicize. My answer would be: none of the above. But my voice will not be heard. For I follow the Indian way of seeing which celebrates the symbolic, the subjective and the subtle not the modern (read Western) way of seeing which is rooted in the literal, the objective and the mathematic...

Punjabi Language pronounced it  Jugard  or  Jugaad , Sanskrit Language also pronounced the word  yukti , colloquial  yugat  and Hindi Language pronounced it to  Jugat. The  Jugaad  movement  has gathered a community of enthusiasts, believing it to be the proof of Indian bubbling creativity, or a cost-effective way to solve the issues of everyday life.     Western corporations can no longer just rely on the old formula that sustained innovation and growth for decades: a mix of top-down strategies, expensive R&D projects and rigid, highly structured innovation processes . Jugaad Innovation argues that the West must look to places like India, for a new, bottom-up approach to frugal and flexible innovation. ...
