SCIENCE IN VEDAS MOTION OF EARTH 1. Rig Veda 10.22.

14 This earth is devoid of hands and legs, yet it moves ahead. All the objects over the earth also move with it. It moves around the sun. In this mantra, Kshaa = Earth (refer Nigantu 1.1) Ahastaa = without hands Apadee = without legs Vardhat = moves ahead Shushnam Pari = Around the sun Pradakshinit = revolves 2. Rig Veda 10.149.1 The sun has tied Earth and other planets through attraction and moves them around itself as if a trainer moves newly trained horses around itself holding their reins. In this mantra, Savita = Sun Yantraih = through reins Prithiveem = Earth Aramnaat = Ties Dyaam Andahat = Other planets in sky as well Atoorte = Unbreakable Baddham = Holds Ashwam Iv Adhukshat = Like horses GRAVITATIONAL FORCE 3. Rig Veda 8.12.28 O Indra! By putting forth your mighty rays, which possess the qualities of gravitation and attraction-illumination and motion keep up the entire universe in order through the Power of your attraction. 4. Rig Veda 1.6.5, Rig Veda 8.12.30 O God, You have created this Sun. You possess infinite power. You are upholding the sun and other spheres and render them steadfast by your power of attraction. 5. Yajur Veda 33.43 The sun moves in its own orbit in space taking along with itself the mortal bodies like earth through force of attraction. 6. Rig Veda 1.35.9 The sun moves in its own orbit but holding earth and other heavenly bodies in a manner that

they do not collide with each other through force of attraction. 7. Rig Veda 1.164.13 Sun moves in its orbit which itself is moving. Earth and other bodies move around sun due to force of attraction, because sun is heavier than them. 8. Atharva Veda 4.11.1 The sun has held the earth and other planets LIGHT OF MOON 9. Rig Veda 1.84.15 The moving moon always receives a ray of light from sun 10. Rig Veda 10.85.9 Moon decided to marry. Day and Night attended its wedding. And sun gifted his daughter Sun ray to Moon. ECLIPSE 11. Rig Veda 5.40.5 O Sun! When you are blocked by the one whom you gifted your own light (moon), then earth gets scared by sudden darkness. SCIENCE OF BUILDING SHIPS AND AIRPLANES Swami Dayanand has detailed Mantras regarding these in his Vedic commentary and Introduction to Vedas (1876). The scientists of IISc concluded that the mechanism of airplane as suggested by Dayanand is feasible. The first manned plane was built 20 years after death of Swami Dayanand. The verses are difficult to translate in English here, but readers are advised to review Introduction to Vedas by Swami Dayanand or interpretations of following mantras: Rig Veda 1.116.3, 1.116.4, 10.62.1, 1.116.5, 1.116.6, 1.34.2, 1.34.7, 1.48.8 etc. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Rig Veda 6.58.3 Jalayan a vehicle designed to operate in air and water; Rig Veda 9.14.1 Kaara- a vehicle that operates on ground and in water; Rig Veda 3.14.1 Tritala- a vehicle consisting of three stories; Rig Veda 4.36.1 Trichakra Ratha a three-wheeled vehicle designed to operate in the air.; Rig Veda 5.41.6 Vaayu Ratha- a gas or wind-powered chariot; Rig Veda 3.14.1 Vidyut Ratha- a vehicle that operates on power.

SCIENCE OF TELEGRAPHY 18. Rig Veda 1.119.10 With the help of bipolar forces (Asvins), you should employ telegraphic apparatus made of

good conductor of electricity. It is necessary for efficient military operations but should be used with caution. Ashvina: Bipolar forces (Ashwin are considered a duo which exist together) Yuvam: You both Pedave: That causes rapid movement Spridham: for military and noble purpose Pritanaasu: destroying armies Chakrityam: that causes continuous movement Shwetam: with utmost speed Puravaram: for multiple means of attaining success dushtaram: Which cannot be escaped Charshaneesaham: which is robust Sharyaih: which can be stopped and started again and again Abhidyum: charged with electricity Indramiv: Powerful and fast Tarutaram: made of metal wire and to communicate Duvyasthah: develop Velocity of light 19. Rig Veda 1.50.4 (Indian Scholar Sayana Commentary who died in 1387 A.D.) tatha ca smaryate yojananam. sahasre dve dve sate dve ca yojane ekena nimishardhena kramaman. Which means It is remembered here that Sun (light) traverses 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha A nimesa is equal to 16/75 seconds. So, it comes that velocity of light is equal to 3X10^8 m/s. * sanskrit is the best language for computer application and software REPORT IN FORBES MAGAZINE, 1986, JULY. 20. Atharva Veda 4.37.4 O electrical currents of high voltage, safely carried by electric wires, you kill many enemies in the war, waged by learned persons or through the help of natural forces. To keep all the evil forces under control, you, being well-equipped with good means of destruction completely lay down to lasting sleep (death) the evil forces that rob and harass the general public. This verse is a testament to the intense power and utterly destructive force of electrical weapons. There are many more such references to electrical energy in the Atharvaveda, however in the interests of keeping this article to a reasonable length, I have not reproduced every one of them. It is high time for us to thoroughly analyse and learn from the invaluable resources that our forefathers have left us in the form of the divine Vedas and other profound Hindu literature.
