Science and myths's video: vedas vedic astronomy medical science maths

Huddled with satellites, space telescopes and supercomputer models, astronomy may seem like a very modern scientific discipline now. However, the history of astronomical observations and science is much older than you would imagine—even as old as the Vedic times. The Vedic texts are clearly the oldest texts of the Indian antiquity. Rig Veda, the oldest of them, is mostly about rituals and philosophy, but has a separate addendum on astronomy called ‘Vedang Jyotisha’—literally translated as ‘part of Vedas about the science of (celestial) lights’. Add to this the astronomy-related verses from YajurVeda, and we have the first written evidence of the ancient astronomical knowledge of Indians.Moon took about 27-28 days to go around the sky. Thus, the Moon had around 28 (in Rig Veda, later 27 in Yajur Veda) mansions in the sky and these are our Nakshatras. They had also observed that the length of the solar year was about 365 days. It is interesting to note what these Vedic astronomical texts do not discuss—planets, zodiac signs, comets etc. The zodiac makes an appearance only in those texts which were not sealed until the rise of Mauryas. We also note that the shapes and stars of all 12 Raashis and also divine properties of planets are identical in every civilization which was conquered by Alexander the Great. Now after this Medical science A high quality of Medical Knowledge was prevalent in ancient India. The present day Archaeological evidences of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa imparts the high civilization in matters of sanitation and hygiene. An analysis of the material in the Vedas reveals that, all the four Vedas replete the references regarding various aspects of medicine. The Atharva Veda is deemed to be an encyclopaedia for medicine "Interalia", and Ayurveda (the science of life) is considered as Upa Veda (supplementary subject) of the Atharva Veda.
