Indian culture has been into existence for more than 10000 years. There are lots of values and virtues in the Indian culture that exhibits how a person can live a peaceful life. The more we go behind in history the more advanced the science is. To the modern world the advanced concepts of science used in the ancient India requires a very high level of thinking and understanding. After all one century’s magic is another century’s science.
The Rishis and Yogis were actually great scientists with vast knowledge on everything. The source for their knowledge was the Vedas. Vedas are nothing but the collection of Knowledge. “Ananthaavai Vedhaaha” – Vedas are endless. Now we have access only to few drops of it. An endless ocean is still unexplored.
Coming to Tamil culture there were so many experts in alchemy who were called “Siddhar”. One of the main substance they used was mercury. They were capable of converting liquid mercury to solid mercury without losing any of its property and even used them as medicine to cure diseases. The concept of Bhasmas that were used in the ancient world is another example. In the modern world they call it as nano technology where the particles are broken into nano particles and used in various fields of science. Bhasmas were vastly used as a part of Ayurveda for curing diseases in our ancient India. Thirungnanasambandhar from south India who was a devotee of Lord Shiva was very good in creating Bhasmas and he used it to cure the diseases of people. There are millions and millions of such amazing things that are still hidden in our ancient scriptures.
Sanathana Dharma of our ancient India has been the basement for all the religions of the world. Moreover the Vedas and our other ancient scriptures have been a great backbone for the rich culture and traditions that are still followed and practiced in our country. Sanskrit and Tamil which are considered to be the oldest language in the world has various scriptures that are divine to Indians and provide moral values to our righteous living. Most of the recent inventions and discoveries are mentioned and written in detail in our ancient scriptures thousands of years back. Knowledge is the supreme power of a human being. There were so many invaders to India to take away all the wealth and destroy all the glory. The one thing that the invaders were unable to destroy was the knowledge base that we had and that was transferred from one generation to another.
न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यं न भ्रातृभ्राज्यं न च भारकारि।
व्यये कृते वर्धत एव नित्यं विद्याधनं सर्वधनप्रधानम्॥
“It cannot be stolen by a thief. It cannot taken away by a King. It cannot be divided among brothers. It does not cause load. It always increases when spent. The wealth of knowledge is the greatest of all wealth.”
We are not going to prove that all types of knowledge were Indian. Similarly we are not going to say that we can completely ignore the imported knowledge from various places across the world. We have to integrate good things from everywhere. This website is a small initiative to share such amazing things that we have explored in the fields of science and humanity.
