Physics and Veda

In ancient India, the sages used to observe nature and natural phenomena and try to understand them by going in to deep meditation. This is the equivalent of their theoretical framework, which would induce them make closer observations – experiments- and discover new information.

Knowledge of ancient Indians on various aspects of the physical world is scattered in many Sanskrit works, which include the Vedas, vedaangas, puraanas etc. deal with several aspects of the animate and inanimate world. Some of the observations of the sages can now be better correlated with the 21st century physics concepts.

‘One is led to anew notion of unbroken wholeness, which denies the classical idea of the ability to analyze the world into separately and independently existing parts. We have reversed the usual classical notion, that the independent elementary reality, and that the various systems are merely particular contingent forms and arrangements if these parts. The Laws of Gravity in Indians view Rather, we say that inseparable quantum interconnectedness if the whole universe is the fundamental reality and the relatively independently behaving parts are merely particular and contingent forms within the above’ – Mundakopanishad –

The Laws of Gravity in sages view


1200 years before sir Isaac Newton rediscovered.
‘Objects fall on the earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. Therefore the earth, planet, constellations, moon and the sun are held in orbit by attraction’
(Surya Sidhantha by Bhaskaraachaarya). In surya sidhantha, bhaskaraachaarya calculates the time taken for the earth on orbit the sun to 9 decimal places (365.258756484 days). The modern accepted measurement is 365.2596 days.
The different between the ancient indian measurement (1500 years ago) and the modern measurement is only 0.00085 days (0.0002%). India has given the world the idea of smallest and largest measure of time – from 34,000th a second (Kranti) to 4.32 billion years (kalpa).

We suggested the sphere


Everyone on the earth feels that he is at the top of the earth. But this is not true.
Earth is not flat instead it is spherical in shape. This was discussed in the ancient astronomical text, Surya Sidhanta, ‘As the earth is round every person considered himself at the top of the earth where he or she is standing. So downward direction is towards the center of the earth for everyone.’ –

(Bhugoladhyaya , surya sidhanta). Arya bhatta was the first to deduce that the earth is round. It must be mentioned that western science accepted that earth is spherical only in 14th century. Also he was the first to postulate it is the earth that rotates and the stars are stationary. This was about a 1000 year before Copernicus.

‘The globe of earth stands suspended in space at the center of a circular frame that is at the center of the Bhagola surrounded by water, soil, fire and air and is circular on all sided that is spherical’.
(Aryabhatiya - chapter 4, verse 6)

Science of yajna or e= mc2

Aitareya rishi said’ yjna is conversion of consciousness into matter and matter in to consciousness through vital force. Einsein he discovered that matter and energy are inter-convertible as per his formula e=mc2.this lead to the discovery of atomic energy.The vedic seers have discovered a still superior form of energy viz. the power of consciousness. It is the consciousness, which activate our vital energies, which in turn, can bring about any transformation.

The power of consciousness is represented by mantra, vital energy are the Deva’s (God) when we say that Deva’s are invoked by mantras, we simply mean to say that vital energies are activated by the use of psychic power
. These psychic powers, which are supra-physical, can control anything physical. Thus, by use of mantras and by invoking Deva’s all of our desires can be fulfilled. Aitareya who says that yajna s a process of converting consciousness into matter and matter into consciousness, since consciousness and matter cannot be interchanged directly, the interchange takes place via vital force.

Speed of Light The 14th c. scholar Saayana (1335-1387 AD) mentions about the speed of light in his commentary of Rigveda. He was a minister in the court of king Bukka I of vijayanagar empire in south India.
‘Thus this remembered: (oh Sun!) Bow to you, you who traverse 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha’
(saayanacharya – commentary on 4th verse of the hymn of Rig Veda 1.50)


Transformation of energy in rigveda

Agne … tmna satinam purusham (Rig veda 2.2.9)
In this sloka RV define the universal transformation of energy
Stirnaa asya samhato viswarupa (RV 3.1.7.)

Energy Omnipresent

Viswasya ketu, bhuvanasya garbha, oh rodasi aprunat (YV.12.33)

In vedic quotation interestingly mentioned the seven rays of sun. In Rig veda these are nothing but the colors –VIBGYOR, RV supports ‘the seven rays of the sun are falling, there I live with my family’. (RV8-72-16)
These statements are evident to assume the seven colors of sunrays were very well known, even during the vedic period.

Rishi Kanaada - forerunner to Archimedes and Einstein: Kanaada or Kashypa lived in the 6th century B.C. from his childhood; kashyapa displayed a keen sense of observation. Kanada was the first expounder of the atomic concept in the universe. He was the first to point out he binary molecule and atom. Everything in the universe, he said ‘is made up of Paramanu(Nuclear).

When matter divided and sub-divided until further division is not possible, the remaining indivisible entity is called Paramanu.


Paramanu are eternal and indestructible and do not exist in free state nor can they be sensed through any human organ’. Kanaada
propounded Vaiseshika Sutras (peculiarity Aphorisms). They are a blend of science, philosophy and religion.


This wisdom stuns the modern scientist that Rishi Kanaada could make such profound observations on Atomic Science in the 6th century.

Good one...

This is true, our old knowledge was far better rather than the current science.
