Download or read book Zero Point of Jain Astronomy written by Raja Ram Mohan Roy and published by Mount Meru Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jain astronomy provides an important link between Vedic astronomy and classical Hindu astronomy. Jain texts such as Jambudvipaprajnapti, Suryaprajnapti, and Chandraprajnapti have detailed information on the apparent motion of sun, moon, planets, and stars. In this book, important features of Jain astronomy have been discussed and compared with Vedic astronomy and classical Hindu astronomy. The principle behind the division of sky in nakshatras has been explained and the span of nakshatras in Jain astronomy has been calculated. Based on the changing position of sun in the background of stars during solstices and equinoxes, the date of the astronomical observations described in Jain texts has been estimated. It is proposed that the zero point of Jain astronomy as well as Malava era coincides with the yogatara of Ashwini, Hamal, being at vernal equinox in 702 BCE.

Book excerpt: Indian astronomical texts give the coordinates of the yogataras or junction stars of nakshatras. These coordinates have been interpreted as polar coordinates, which depend on the position of the north celestial pole. Polar coordinates of a star should change with time due to precession. However, different astronomical texts written over many centuries give same coordinates for most yogataras. This has resulted in Indian astronomers being called incompetent, who did not observe the positions of the stars with accuracy. In this book it is proposed that Indian astronomers were using sidereal ecliptic coordinates, which do not change with time to a significant extent. This understanding has led to the discovery of the original boundaries of nakshatras. Based on these boundaries of nakshatras and the changing position of sun in the background of nakshatras during solstices, the dates of astronomical text Vedanga Jyotisha and astronomer Varahamihira have been reexamined. Based on the zero points of Vedic astronomy, the values of ayanamsha have been calculated.

Book excerpt: The ?igveda is the first book of humankind and the most sacred scripture of Hinduism. It also happens to be the most ill-understood book of our times. Despite the extensive study by academic and religious scholars, the purpose and meaning of the ?igveda and many ancient Hindu scriptures remain unclear. In this pathbreaking book, the discovery of the ?igveda as a book of ancient cosmology is described, and related to the seals of ancient Indus Valley Civilization, thereby challenging our perception of humanity."The Vedas have always been lauded as containing the secrets of cosmogenesis. Raja Roy in his remarkable book shows how this is true not only from the yogic vison but according to the latest insights of modern physics. The book takes the reader on a vast panoramic journey through the universe of matter, mind and human history as well."David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri), Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies"Roy presents a new framework for the understanding of the Vedic hymns from the point of view of physics and then he draws parallels with recent theories on the nature of the universe. We celebrate the new path he has hewn through the bush of old scholarship."Professor Subhash Kak, Oklahoma State University

Download or read book Critical Analysis of the Dating of the Ramayana to 12209 BCE written by Raja Ram Mohan Roy and published by . This book was released on 2023-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is tremendous interest among Hindus to find out the date when the events of the Ramayana took place. Among the various dates proposed for the Ramayana, the date of 12209 BCE has become very popular. Once a thesis gains traction, many people, including educated ones buy into it though they have little knowledge about Indian texts or astronomy. It is thus important for people with subject matter expertise to critically examine these claims. The central thesis behind this claim is that Indian luni-solar months have been shifting with respect to the Indian seasons by one month every 2,000 years. With specific examples from texts spanning from earliest times to now, it is shown that there is no evidence for it. The date of 12209 BCE is based on the claim that a unique event involving a comet took place in that year. However, it is based on software-generated illusion as the path and brightness of a comet cannot be predicted beyond 100 years. Further, a detailed refutation is provided for each "astronomy poison pill" to show beyond doubt that there is no evidence in support of 12209 BCE date of the Ramayana.

Download or read book India Before Alexander written by Raja Ram Mohan Roy and published by . This book was released on 2023-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chronology of Indian history rests on two sheet anchors. The first sheet anchor is the identification of Sandrokottos of the Greek accounts with Chandragupta Maurya, the founder of the Mauryan Dynasty. Sandrokottos was the contemporary of Alexander the Great. The second sheet anchor is linking Dev?n?mpriya Priyadar?? with A?oka Maurya, the grandson of Chandragupta Maurya. Dev?n?mpriya Priyadar?? mentions five Greek kings in his inscriptions, one of them being Antiyoka, who is currently identified as Antiochus II. According to native historians Sandrokottos is Chandragupta I of the Imperial Gupta Dynasty, and not Chandragupta Maurya. However, a satisfactory alternative explanation for the mention of Greek kings by Dev?n?mpriya Priyadar?? has not been presented by anyone yet. In this pioneering book, Dr. Raja Ram Mohan Roy presents a comprehensive analysis of the data and proposes that Dev?n?mpriya Priyadar?? was none other than Kum?ragupta I. This never before proposed identification of Dev?n?mpriya Priyadar?? opens the door for developing a new chronological framework for Indian history.
