A Glimpse into Ancient Indian Astronomy | Khurshed Batliwala (Bawa)

While astronomy is the science of exploring the world that is outside, meditation is the science of exploring what is inside. In this talk by Khurshed Batliwala, he explores how Ancient Indian Scientists and Astronomers knew about the wonders of the outside world which modern day science is still catching up.
With a post graduate in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Khurshed Batliwala, or Bawa as he is fondly known (a nick name that has stuck from his IIT days) is an extraordinary personality.
In his own words, he decided it was better to teach people meditation and make them happy rather than teach them mathematics and make them miserable and thus chose the unconventional and challenging career path as a faculty member of the Art of Living, sharing the vision of its founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, which is to see a smile on every face on the planet.
Khurshed Batliwala and Dinesh Ghodke, Faculties of Art of Living and Authors of the best selling books Ready, Study, Go! and Happiness Express, make talks on how to deal with the most common problems that most of us face, which can be effortlessly integrated into daily life.

That's because Indians have a self hatred towards their fellow Indian brothers and sisters. They have a bad habit of being hostile towards their own and accepting and appreciating foreigners instead of their own, so much so they( Indians who are knowledgeable in ancient indian knowledge of wisdom and sciences)teach foreigners instead of teaching and educating Indians of the ancient knowledge of our ancestors. Now they wonder why indians are parting ways with their culture. If the knowledge and teachings are withheld from Indian out of hatred towards them for no reason, then the culture will disappear. There are no clear sign of Indians trying to change this bad situation. All they keep doing is teach their ancient knowledge to the white race who in turn rebrand this ancient knowledge as originating elsewhere and not from ancient India in an effort to discredit Indians. Yet Indians don't learn. They keep going down this destructive path and dragging the fellow Indian brothers and sisters down with this destructive path. The white race don't care about the Indian race or their achievements to the human race. They only are concerned about diminishing the Indian race into next to nothing with help from stupid Indian men. Our ancestors would be horrified with shame to see what their descendents have done with the legacy they left behind.

That they are owner and father of everything. This is why they suggested the Aryan invasion theory, which is a piece of crap.

I am a Sri Lankan, these days I am studying a shastra (subject) called Maha Kakshaputa Yantra Vidaya. It is an ancient occult science which describes Yantra techniques. Yantra is a kind of geomatrical drawing incooperated with letering. These letters produce specific sounds. The Yantra drawn according to the mathematical theories explained in Maha Kaksha Puta Yantra Vidya can be used for both good and evil intentions. So, he mentioned something called KATAPAYADHI table. The entire Yantra drawing theory is based on that KATAPAYADHI table. This point takes me to a conclusion that Ynatara shastra has a root which is beyond the modern science.

CookingVooking 🐟 22. NON-MONARCHICAL GOVERNANCE: COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM is intrinsically evil, because it reduces individual citizens to utilities, who, in practice, are used to support the ruling elite, who are invariably despotic scoundrels, and very far from ideal leaders (i.e. compassionate and righteous monarchs). Those citizens who display talent in business or the arts are either oppressed or their talents are coercively utilized by the corrupt state. Wealth is literally stolen from the rich. Spiritual teachings (“dharma”, in Sanskrit) are repressed by the irreligious and illegitimate government. DEMOCRACY is evil, because, just as the rabble favoured the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus, the ignorant masses will invariably vote for the candidate which promises to fulfil their inane desires, rather than one which will enforce the law and promote a wholesome and just society. Read Chapter 12 for the most authoritative and concise exegesis of law, morality, and ethics, currently available. Even in the miraculous scenario where the overwhelming majority of the population are holy and righteous citizens, it is still wrong for them to vote for a seemingly-righteous leader. This is because that leader will not be, by definition, a king. As clearly and logically explicated in the previous paragraph of this Holy Scripture, MONARCHY is the only lawful form of governance. If an elected ruler is truly righteous, he will not be able to condone the fact that the citizens are paying him to perform a job (which is a working-class role), and that an inordinate amount of time, money and resources are being wasted on political campaigning. Furthermore, an actual ruler/leader does not wimpishly pander to voters - he takes power by (divinely-mandated) force. The thought of children voting for who will be their parents or teachers, would seem RIDICULOUS to the average person, yet most believe that they are qualified to choose their own ruler. They are most assuredly not. Just as the typical child fails to understand that a piece of sweet, juicy, healthy, delicious fruit is more beneficial to them than a cone of pus-infested, fattening, diabetes-inducing ice-cream, so too can the uneducated proletariat not understand that they are unqualified to choose their own leader, even after it is logically explained to them (as it is in this chapter, as well as the previous chapter). And by “uneducated”, it is meant misguided in the realities of life and in righteous living (“dharma”, in Sanskrit), not in facts and figures or in technical training. To put it frankly, democracy is rule by the “lowest common denominator”. It should be obvious that ANARCHY can never ever succeed, because even the smallest possible social unit (the nuclear family) requires a dominator. Any family will fall-apart without a strict male household head. In fact, without the husband/father, there is no family, by definition. The English noun “husband” comes from the Old Norse word “hûsbôndi”, meaning “master of the house”. The same paradigm applies to the extended family, which depends on a strong patriarchal figure (the eldest or most senior male). Likewise with clans, tribes, villages, towns, cities, and nations. Unfortunately, there are many otherwise-intelligent persons who honestly believe that an ENTIRE country can smoothly run without a leader in place. Any sane person can easily understand that even a nuclear family is unable to function properly without a head of the house, what to speak of a populous nation. The reason for their distrust of any kind of government is due to the corrupt nature of democratic governments, and the adulteration of the monarchy in recent centuries, but if anarchists were to understand that most all “kings/queens” in recent centuries were not even close to being true monarchs, they may change their stance on that inane 'system'. Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon (non-monarchies), since it is the government’s role and sacred DUTY to enforce the law (see Chapter 12). One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, socialism, and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control, or at least influence, the private lives of every single citizen. For example, in the wicked, decadent nations in which this holy scripture was composed, The Philippine Islands and The Southland (or 'Australia', as it is known in the Latin tongue), the DEMONIC governments try, and largely succeed, in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, compulsory vaccination of infants, enforcing feminist ideology, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, subsidizing animal agriculture, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not), and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are MODESTLY dressed, according to the guidelines outlined in Chapter 28, which is hardly the case in Australia, the Philippines, and similar nations. At least ninety-nine per cent of Filipinas, for instance, are transvestinal, despite Philippines pretending to be a religious nation. Basically, the worst of the non-monarchical governments promote (or at least permit) ALL things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will, such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority, and advancing materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”). Their aim is to produce a population of indoctrinated citizens who have been conditioned to serve the state and its perverse agendas. Even though non-monarchical leaders are committing a criminal act by ordering the persecution of its citizens, or instigating war on another nation, the police and military personnel who execute their orders are equally (if not MORE) guilty of their dirty deeds. Even if a non-monarchical government punishes a criminal, that in itself is a criminal act, because it has absolutely no authority to do so. That is akin to a baby punishing its mother for theft, when it is actually the role of the infant's father to enact disciplinary action upon the woman in question. For the past few centuries, most of the earth has been controlled by a CABAL of men comprising of extremely wealthy businessmen (particularly bankers) and so-called religious leaders (those who command a huge following). Ironically, some of these elite businessmen instigate a pseudo-socialist government within their nations, so that they themselves can control the financial system for their selfish goals. This planet is surely doomed, unless the most pernicious institutions ever known to man (democracy, socialism and communism), are replaced by the ONLY legitimate form of government (monarchy - ideally a holy monarch, though even a mediocre king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official or a sociopathic megalomaniac, who could almost never be a righteous ruler). Let it be known, however - non-monarchical rule can not and will not endure. Once society has devolved to such a debased level where it can no longer survive intact, the natural-born kings of the earth shall arise and regain their rightful place at the head of each and every nation. The truth shall surely triumph (“satyam-eva jayate”, in Sanskrit). “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” Samuel Langhorne Clemens (AKA Mark Twain), American writer. “The only reason why a person has an issue with anyone else’s power, is because they feel powerless”. Mrs. Teal Swan, American Spiritual Teacher.

just to bring to your notice the facts of ancient Indian science Speed of light refuted by physicist Rahiman t.v . As follows( see on quorra or his journal ) “”counter to this argument is given by the verse in Bhagavata I mentioned above (5.21.10)[13] When the sun in fifteen ghathikâs [six hours] moves from the residence of Indra to that of Yamarâja, it covers a distance of 23.775.000 yojanas [a quarter of the circumference]. If the sun moves so much in six hours, the radius of the orbit would be 23.775.000 * 4 / (2 pi) ~ 15 million yojanas ~ 135 million miles (using Kak’s units). We immediately have an example where a non-astronomical text has given a much higher distance to the sun than the half million yojanas that Kak claims. If Bhagavata can claim large distances and speeds for the sun, what is stopping Sayana? Remember that he is not an astronomer either and has the license to pull numbers out of his… poetry. In fact, Kak himself states that Vishnu Purana puts the sun-earth distance at 15 million yojanas. This is presumably not a contradiction for him since it is not an astronomical text.

just to bring to your notice the facts of ancient Indian science Speed of light refuted by physicist Rahiman t.v . As follows( see on quorra or his journal ) “”counter to this argument is given by the verse in Bhagavata I mentioned above (5.21.10)[13] When the sun in fifteen ghathikâs [six hours] moves from the residence of Indra to that of Yamarâja, it covers a distance of 23.775.000 yojanas [a quarter of the circumference]. If the sun moves so much in six hours, the radius of the orbit would be 23.775.000 * 4 / (2 pi) ~ 15 million yojanas ~ 135 million miles (using Kak’s units). We immediately have an example where a non-astronomical text has given a much higher distance to the sun than the half million yojanas that Kak claims. If Bhagavata can claim large distances and speeds for the sun, what is stopping Sayana? Remember that he is not an astronomer either and has the license to pull numbers out of his… poetry. In fact, Kak himself states that Vishnu Purana puts the sun-earth distance at 15 million yojanas. This is presumably not a contradiction for him since it is not an astronomical text. He then claims that this discrepancy is because the yojana in the Puranas is smaller than the standard yojana by a factor of 36.”” Other astronomical distances are wrong too. Other astronomical myths found in following earth supported by elephants ,in fact the elephants are named too.

The ancients were such deep thinkers because they were not bogged down by petty concepts like pride, ego and retaliation.

There is a huge difference in the mindset of Indian and western people, whatever we know we keep it to ourselves, our family, our cast. But westerners share it, take credit of it, commercialize it, brand it, make money out of it, try to get a large scale project, in short they think big. Even though it is greedy in the beginning eventually whole world benefits from it. In bible there is a story of someone who light a lamp and keep it under the bed, it wouldn't light the whole room, light should be on the table. Same as all this knowledge if we keep it to ourselves, it does not help the world. I appreciate great Indians who invented all this amazing things and westerners made it available to the whole world with their large scale project. To be honest Indians should start to think outside the box to get respect. I am an Indian.
