A GLIMPSE INTO THE MOST ‘ADVANCED’ CIVILISATION

Author: Rekha Gupta

Yes you guessed it right ! I talk about my country Bharat. And this article is specially a callout to the naysayers of Bharat who either don’t know the facts behind this divine land or simply choose to look the other way. Read on for a long but spellbound journey.

I do not know where to begin from as Bharat is the oldest and the most advanced civilisation hence knowledge on this subject is vast and immeasurable,but my love for my mother land compels me to express all that I feel and a little that I know of it through living room conversations and whatever I have read over the years from various sources.

Each time I read or see something new about Bharat’s history it leaves me so pleasantly surprised and fills me with so much pride as to how our ancestors did it so easily ,without ever laying a claim or without as much as being vocal about it .C@Rg

We need not be guilty for not knowing much about our history cause in the early 19th century , our country was forced with many well thought of & well strategised changesand one such change was the advent of English medium schools that took precedence over our very own education system of ”Gurukul’s” thereby gradually changing the mindset of each Bharitya. Bharat’s history is not only about when the invaders came, which is all that one finds in the current history books. On the contrary we have a culturally rich history – Bharat’s real history- ( before the time of invasions-) that rightfully deserves its due in history books and needs to be taught to every child. Aren’t our history texts supposed to be teaching us about our own history? How then will we take pride in something , when it has not been taught and we don’t know about it ?

Today the world very conveniently time and again shows poverty stricken imagery of Bharat, all the time , like an obsession, and on purpose, whereas in reality Bharat was the richest country, actually better known as ”Sonay ki chidiya” till the 17th century ,the sole reason that attracted the invaders . On one hand the world has been calling our culture regressive, calling us a land of snake charmers , cow & plant worshipers , questioning and negating Bharat’s contribution to the world and on the other they invaded us time and again for a thousand years ? Do robbers ever loot a country poorer than their’s ? Of course not. But after looting the richest country time and again, they are hell bent upon changing the narrative and showcasing Bharat as a poor country.

Angus Maddison a British historian & economist has done an analysis of world GDP of past 2000 years , wherein it is documented that Bharat’s contribution was more than 1/3 rd of the total worlds GDP in the first millennium. These statistics ,make it easier for the world to understand how enormously wealthy Bharat was.

Rich heritage and the riches of Bharat attracted many a country’s that came in the disguise of traders / business alliance /well wishers . These constant invasions not only robbed Bharat of its wealth but destroyed our temples ,destroyed our cultural heritage too . They changed our name from Bharat to India, changing the very identity of a country, hoping that the world and the Bhartiya’s too will forget their rich cultural heritage and the contributions we have made to the world. Not only did these invasions rip us of our resources each time, but also gave distorted and convoluted image and perception about our country to the world outside, which sadly seems to be an ongoing trend. Over the years I have only seen people give mixed reactions to this divine land called Bharat, which far from being acknowledged was only ridiculed time and again.

Bharat’s glorious history was dismissed of as Indian mythology , so much so that our Sacred ”Ramayan” and ”Mahabharat” were considered ”myths” till very recently by the world. ‘Bhagvan Ram’s’ period and ‘Bhagvan Krishan’s’ period was myth for others , yet we Bhartiyas never explained to anyone the magic of our history cause we believe in ”Satyamev Jayatey” meaning ”Truth Alone Triumphs” (our National motto that is a part of a mantra from Mundaka Upnishads). Satellite pictures of Ram Setu bridge from our Epic Ramayan were released to kind of establish our history and silence the world.

RAM SETU – A marvel ,that was a chain of limestone Shoals without a foundation ,without a support or any other adhesive material that was made 7000 years back between Bharat and Sri Lanka , that still remains a mystery as to how a bridge was made with the floating stones and is still intact although now submerged in water. C@Rg

We are the oldest civilizations, texts available say about 10,000 years , though much older and we had a pretty capable set of high functioning brains. We did things at a time when most countries were not even born. From language, to architecture to astrology to physics, the universe, the cosmos, principles & rules for mankind to live by. So advanced a civilization we were thousands of years ago ,that what the modern world does not know nor understands , dismisses it as myth yet silently on the other hand are in the process of decoding it & learning it .

Glorious & Majestic Universities of ancient Bharat that were the most influential centers of learning where students from all over the world flocked to gain knowledge and to acquire skills& achieve greatness . Massive 20 to 30 universities spread all over Bharat – Takshashila 3600 years old which housed more than 10,000 students. Nalanda , Vallabhi, Sharada Peeth ,Pushpagiri ,Morena Golden Triangle , Kanthalloor Sala, Nagarjuna , Ratnagiri ,Vikramshila , and many more such universities that are as old as 3000 years or more .These universities are a legendary proof / testimony of Bhartiyas high intellect & wisdom .

Hand written Manuscripts give us an idea of ancient knowledge of a particular civilization. Greece known as the mother culture of Europe has 20 to 30 thousand surviving hand written Manuscripts . Bharat’s Handwritten Sanskrit Manuscripts that have survived- are 30 Million ,which is more than the rest of the world combined together

Instead of applauding us , they try to either camouflage all our achievements by calling us a land of myths and superstitions or are trying to take credit for our discoveries , by rediscovering these and patenting under their name. Either of the two is happening . Its time to be vocal for each one of us and share whatever we know about our country’s history.

Unfortunately for the last one thousand years whatever false stories were pushed about Bharat ,we had no choice but to live with the fallacy . Now thanks to Social Media the facts are right here for us to see ,to understand and to verify .C@Rg

To have survived almost a thousand years of invasion wherein our soul and cultural ethos were suppressed and undermined ,yet to have risen again literally like a phoenix : to be again one of the top 5 leading country’s of the world as of today, means that ”Bhartiya culture and principles are deep rooted in Eternity” .

Remember those who forget their past may also forfeit their future.

Welcome to the oldest and the most advanced, virtuous and wealthiest civilization

Bharat , Bhartiyas and Bhartiyata

Bharat has laid the foundation principles of how to live : with knowledge completely backed by scientific evidence and logic to the minutest details :

HINDU DHARM

Hindu Dharm- According to Veda’s is ETERNAL KNOWLEDGE -that which has always been in existence ,it has no beginning no end .Hindu dharm is older than mankind and history itself. Eternal knowledge that which has always existed just like the Brahmand /Universe and to understand the precepts as set down in the ancient texts- the Sacred VEDAS. Accordingly Hinduism is monotheistic -as there is only one God ,it is polythetic as there are many avatars of the one God . Hinduism is a culture, a way of life through adherence to ones duty in life [dharma] performed with the right and pure action by karma to free oneself from the physical existence and escape the cycle of rebirth and death ,having done so the Aatma /Soul joins Parmaatma / Bhagvan thus attains MOKSH. ”Dharm” here means ”duties” performed with ‘Righteouness’ by ‘KARMA’ of action which is to think ,speak and do good for all ,that each ones consciousness alone knows.

Hinduism – as stated in Sacred ”Bhagwat Gita” -”aatmaupamya” -means putting all other living being on par with oneself. Each life is as precious as any other and each one serves a purpose on this earth to keep the the ecological balance hence we know how to best co-exist with humans, animals & all living beings.

Unapologetic about being Cow , plant worshipers as its an innate Sanskar of Bhartiyas to be in gratitude to each and everything that is life giving : Sun God ,Agni Dev, Indra Dev, holy Rivers , Mother Earth, Plants and Cows…. In Bhartiya culture they all are revered hence we worship and offer our prayers to them before partaking of anything. Cow is so Sacred that its panchagayvya -milk ,ghee ,curd, urine and dung are used to treat fatal diseases or keeping diseases at bay hence makes a Cow life giving and therefore is revered . In Bharat a child is born to three mothers -Maa ,Bhoomi Maa and Gau Mata.

VEDS are by BHAGVAN SHIV .

VEDIC SANSKRIT – The language of GOD The oldest profound texts of the hindu dharm that cover each and every aspect of life are the Sacred four VED – RIGVED ,YAJURVED ,SAMVED, ATHARVED.

VED means KNOWLEDGE that saves one from Vedna (agony).Vedas are the sounds of GOD hence impossible to be translated. And Sanskrit terminologies have no equivalents in any other language .

SANSKRIT –is called the Mother of all Languages as its the oldest language. Greek , Latin etc that are derived from sanskrit .

Sanskrit – the word itself means ”perfect” thus is the most perfect and logical language . A language that is ”holistic and scientifically developed and designed as per the contours of the vocal chords ,helps immensely to develop brain dexterity through its phonetics . This language is so precise in phonetics that if two people from different states were to speak the same line in Sanskrit, you would not be able to tell the difference in their accent. What is truly mind baffling is the physical science behind this language– one who speaks and writes Sanskrit will never face stiffness of the fingers & tongue.C@Rg

The entire spectrum of the Vedic literature like Bhagwat Gita , Shrimad Bhagavatam ,Upanishads and the Puranas are full of scientific and technical knowledge.

UPANISHADS : these are the sub branches of the vedas and were many in number, as many as thousand, however many were lost during centuries to human memory and what remains is perhaps 108 .

The 18 MAHA PURANS : In addition to Brahma Puran, Vishnu Puran, Matsya Puran………some of the other well known Purans are:

BHAVISHYA PURAN – A precise text that is thousands of years old , which is based on Planetary positions and astronomical calculations as to what the future holds for each individual , a country and the universe.

GARUD PURAN– Talks about cycle of life and life again after death, an insight into Aatma’s /Soul’s eternal journey , the theory of heaven and hell, good versus evil ,ancestral rites ……..

SHASTRAS : Is a sanskrit word that means- precept rules manual compendium book or treatise.

VASTU SHASTR -Most common and known to almost all is vastu shastr which is a detailed and a precise ,scientific text that literally means ”Science of architecture”. With principles of design ,layout , measurements of a house or any building. Its an ancient guide , right from the direction to which a home should face ,to the entrance to the living room , kitchen ,bedrooms ,study ,washroom and the open space. Principles for exteriors and interiors in alignment with nature’s five elements .C@Rg

SHILP SHASTR : has 64 detailed techniques for arts and crafts such as carpentry , Architecture ,Murals , Statues, Paintings , Jewellery ,Icons ,Pottery etc…INK– that was known as musi in 4th century BC, is from Bharat.

MATHEMATICS:

NUMBER 0 – Bharat’s contribution to the world of a number 0” , is not just a number. It is the most important number. Decimal system and Binary code that too were devised by Bhartiya mathematicians & astronomers Brahmagupta & Aryabhata . Yes ,the computer we are on, right now runs on a BINARY that is strings of ZEROS and ONES. Without this zero there would be NO CALCULUS which in other words means , there would be no modern engineering , no automation ,no modern electronics .That is the importance of ‘0’.

QUADRITIC FORMULA was formultaed by a famous Bhartiya Mathematician and Astronomer- Brahmagupta

VEDIC GANIT / MATHEMATICS : This was an ancient system of calculation that was retrieved from the vedas , The simplicity of vedic maths is that calculations can be done mentally and much faster than conventional methods. It is based on a set of 16 sutras.

GEOMETRY & Trigonometry – Formulated by various Bhartiya scholars like Aryabhata , Bhramgupta , Bhaskara and Varahamihira .

ALGEBRA – Bhaskara treatise on Algebra in sanskrit ,known as ”Bijaganita”.

Ancient Vedic Hindus took special interests in GEOMETRY and ASTRONOMY as ‘Yagy’ / ‘Hawan’ had to be performed on a ”Vedi” of prescribed shape and size on a specific day at a certain time and even a little variation would not yield the same benefit or furthermore could even nullify the ritual .

VALUE OF ‘PI’ -This is a shloka in praise of ”Bhagvan Krishan” (see pic below), wherein a particular alphabet is given a particular number , this is called ”Katapayadi Sankhya” . So in this shloka is ENCRYPTED the value of pie – 3.141592653589793238462643383279…. Besides knowing the value of pi thousands of years ago, we knew how to Encrypt as well ,was coded so intelligently that is why most of the ancient Bharity texts remain unsolved by our modern intellectuals.

SCIENCE:

Vedic Science – Veds and Upavedas contain knowledge that form the basis for modern day science.

MEDICINE &SURGERY:

VED & AYURVED – Ved and Ayurved is undoubtedly the most important Science that aligns human mind and body in sync with nature and the cycle of Sun & Moon to be at its optimum best. The oldest sacred text on medicine is ‘Ayurved’ when translated means ”life knowledge” or ”life science”, which is the sub ved of Sacred ”ATHARVED’. Ayurved is an ancient science of holistic healing, traditional health care, both PREVENTIVE as well as CURATIVE .

Rishi SUSHRUTA is known as the father of Medicine and Surgery. Although the practice of surgery was already long established in Bharat as the first sacred text ”CHARAK SAMIHTA” suggests . Rishi Sushruta developed several surgical techniques as he was the first to perform ”Plastic Surgery” and a ”CEAZARIAN” and many more , some 300 different types of surgeries .The oldest sanskrit texts on medicine ”Sushruta Samhita” written by him are still referred by doctors all over the world .The ”surgical instruments” about 125 that he designed are in use till date. In ‘Melbourne’ ,there is a statue of the first surgeon of the world ”Rishi Sushruta’

I V F – One can’t help wondering , if the Kaurav brothers in Mahabharat, (one of the 2 major sanskrit epics of Bharat and a great tale of war between two dynasties), were born using ”intro- vitro fertilization” technology ? As the first ever C-section happened in Bharat and Bharat was very advanced in medicine and surgery.

YOG & PRANAYAM

PRANAYAM -PRANA’S / AATMA -has the powers to heal the body on its own ,that is further supported by an ancient science -AYURVED , since time immemorial . ”Prana”means” Life force that is ”breath” or vital Energy ,and ”ayama” means ”to control”- breath control .These are techniques of breath inhalation and exhalation for specific mental and physical benefits and health at all ages.

YOG ASANS -( Yog pose) are many and each specific asan is for a specific body part and for the purpose to ensure oxygen supply to a particular organ while in that pose. It keeps the body flexible and healthy. Yog from ancient Bharat that is practiced by the world today . (Im surprised at all these new psudeo names given by the modern world.)

MEDITATION-Meditation is for Aatma /Soul ,Mind and Body .On a Conscious level meditation is to connect to GOD as a prayer. Using breath as a focal point for the mind to be completely in the Present -in this moment to silence the mind so as to clean the mind of all waste negative, toxic thoughts ,thereby recharging and reenergizing the mind. Similar to when a boot scan is performed on your computers that is done to clean the viruses and malware, for the machine to run well and smoothly without a hitch. Meditation is a must for introspection as in the course of our daily interactions we tend to keep on accumulating toxins both physically and mentally , that have to be thrown out from time to time hence Bathing ,Yog, Pranayam , Meditation and Fasting are of utmost importance as these are preventive measures. There are many levels of meditation and the best time to meditate is at 4 am as its ”Brahm Muhurat” , the most auspicious time of the day.

Bhartiy Rishis used this very powerful technique ”Yog Vidya” -Meditation, and attained ”DIVY DRISHTI” that is Divine Vision to see wherever and whatever they chose to! Rishis with their powers could teleport themselves :as far as to the universe and back..how else would they know about astronomy in so much details, it can beat any modern day physicist . Rishis in even today’s times have telekinesis ability that the modern world fails to understand and chooses to mock and dismiss them of as flying saints etc etc

PHYSICS

LAW OF GRAVITY – Do you know that there is a mention of gravitational forces in Aryabhat’s findings, Brahmgupta too discovered the law of gravity which is texted and documented in his book “ Brahmasphutasiddhanta”. The law of gravity was finally established by Shri Bhaskaracharya sometime in 600 AD, which was rediscovered 1200 years later in 1687 AD by Newton again. ( we were never taught this ,why ?)

Shri Jagdish Chandra Bose for his contributions in the field of RADIO, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION & TELEGRAPHY, was never acknowledged.

FIBER OPTICS– Narinder Singh Kapnay is known as the father of fiber optics for his path breaking inventions, that were first demonstrated in 1954 in London that light can travel in bent glass fibres and he coined the word -fibre optics. Yet someone else who rediscovered Narinder Singh’s inventions much later was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics- Fiber optics. c@rg

BLACK HOLE- Maths genius Shri Srinivas Ramanuja’s Cryptic deathbed theory : black hole is a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything including light from escaping . Later he described several new functions that behaved differently from known ; THETA FUNCTIONS or MODULAR FORMS. Theory of no.1729: k3 Surface to understand ELLIPTIC CURVES and play a role in STRING THEORY and QUANTUM PHYSICS. Elliptic Curve have an impact in INTERNET CRYPTOGRAPHY that protects information like Bank numbers.

ATOM; Maharishi Kanada pioneered & developed ATOMIC THEORY in 600 BC. Born in Gujrat ,his real name is Kashyap. ( John Dalton rediscovered it much later)

RELATIVITY – A study of vedic scriptures reveals concept of relativity. Relativity of time dilation is in text ”8.17 Bhagwat Geeta”. ( Albert Einstein rediscovered in 1905 )

CHEMISTRY

Mercury is in a fluid state , that does not become solid until frozen to extreme low temperatures. So how did ancient Bhartiyas make ”Mercury Lingams”.? To solidify mercury at room temperature proves how advanced our ancestors were to understand the chemicals and how one chemical reacts to another, to have made ”Mercury Lingams” at room temperature to be placed in SHIVA temples all over Bharat, also known as ”Rasalingams”.

ASTRONOMY & UNIVERSE

DISTANCE BETWEEN MOON ,EARTH &SUN and HOLY No. 108 – The Vedic Cosmology stated many thousand years ago that the distance between EARTH & MOON is 108 times the diameter of Moon. And the distance between EARTH & SUN is 108 times the diameter of Sun.

EARTH IS ROUND – Ancient History talks about ”Varaha Avatar” – When ”Bhagwan Vishnu ji” took avatar to save the drowning Earth by lifting up Earth . The picture shows the shape of the earth as round which means we knew thousands of years ago that earth is round but the modern world believed it to be flat and has just recently accepted it is round after seeing satellite images.

BHUGOL– is the sanskrit word for Geography , when translated it means ”BHUMI GOL” , so we have known it ever since that EARTH IS ROUND. We needed no satellite pictures to establish this fact thousands of years ago.

JAGAT ; when translated it means; ‘that which moves’ or that which has momentum . So we as a civilisation always knew that Earth is moving .

ARUNDHITI VASISHTA – In the case of most twin stars ,one star rotates around the other star. But herein these two stars Arundhiti & Vasishta rotate together in sync , so there is a tradition wherein after marriage a couple is supposed to look at these stars as an auspicious sign to begin their married life. 1st to know that a point of light in the sky is not a single star but its a twin star , 2nd to know that these both rotate together is phenomenal, since thousands of years. These simple traditions were mistaken for superstitions and the science behind them was lost C@Rg

WATER ON MARS –Sage Varahamihira’s work ”Pancha Sidhantika is a treatise on Mathematical Astronomy wherein he estimated the diameters of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars ,Saturn and Jupiter. He discovered water on Mars 1500 years ago . Another important contribution by him to the world is the ”Brihat Samhita” wherein besides many other subjects he discovered and described a large number of ”Comets”. Sage Varahamihira was an astrologer too who has written on all the three branches of Astrology.

SPEED OF LIGHT – the shloka -its actually a formula to calculate the speed of light : 1 Nimisha ;time it takes to blink your eyes and 1 Yojana is 8 to 9 miles ., which is remarkably close to modern speed of light. HINDU ANCIENT value of speed light 185,096.165 mile/sec and the MODERN value of speed of light is 186,282.397 miles/sec . SHLOKA pic

JANTAR MANTAR-Vedic texts explain Units of TIME measurements which match today’s modern scientific units of time to microseconds.In Jaipur is Yantr Mantr :meaning INSTRUMENTS and FORMULAS :an astronomical wonder that has huge 16 yantras . eg. 1- Dhruv darshak pattika;to find the location of pole star with respect to other celestial bodies. 2- To know the precise time plus minus 2 seconds ,with the help of Sun Rays.

SOLAR eclipse & LUNAR eclipse : The description of an eclipse is in ”Rig Ved” as to why, how and when they will occur. And these have been predicted accurately by ancient Bhartiyas ever since for thousands of years now.

DISTACE BETWEEN TWO PLANETS: Accurate distance between planets known through Vedas. Distance between EARTH and SUN mentioned in Sacred ”Hanuman Chalisa”.

JUPITER – ”kumbh Mela” that falls once in 12 years ,why? Because Jupiter completes one Cycle in 12 years , which we have known for thousands of years to be celebrating kumbh Mela.

SOUND –The ancient hindu Rishis understood the power of Sound thus effectively used it for healing various mental and physical diseases. The Mantras are sound waves aligned and arranged in a mysterious way ,resulted in bestowing whatever one wants like in order to get rain ,invoking rain God through mantra which is called ”VARUN JAP”.

TIME –In Vedas ‘Time is Kala’ that is connected to Bhagwan SHIV , also called ‘MAHA KALA’. Vedic texts explain Units of time measurements to microseconds.

Calendar – Vedic PANCHANG is the hindu calendar, which follows traditional units of Indian time keeping. It is based on Surya Sidhant and is complex and an elaborate mathematical, work involving deep understanding of planets and their movements. How to count no. of days ,months and year by observing the cycles of Sun, Moon and the planets – Lunar cycle for setting days and months but a Solar cycle to set the year.

METALLURGY & WEAPONS

Crucible Steel – Bhartiya metallurgists were world leaders in their knowledge and skill as they excelled in the manufacturing of this high quality Steel that remains unparalleled . Records of as early as 200 BC.

Unmatched WEAPONS- made of WOOTZ STEEL; a flexible steel sword called ”Urmi” from ancient Bharat , that the modern world is still trying to replicate without any success ..

IRON – An Iron Pillar in Delhi that stands as a testament of skill because of its high resistance to corrosion inspite of the pollution that has left the world guessing how to produce rust proof iron. And there are many more such pillars scattered all over Bharat ,another one is in kullur near Banglore.

ZINC – Bharat has held the sole knowledge of how to extract Zinc from Zinc Ore for the last 4000 years. Zinc becomes liquid at 997 degrees centigrade but the same Zinc vaporizes into gas at 1000 degrees centigrade, which means there is only a 3 degree window to pull it out which is incredibly difficult. Usually distillation is done by placing the furnace below and then something comes out and is collected but this way the Zinc would evaporate , so our ancestors reversed the process -that is they kept the furnace on top of the Zinc Ore and below the Zinc Ore placed an ice bath , so when Zinc would become liquid ,it dropped in the ice bath to be solidified. We held this knowledge for 4000 years solely, till it was stolen by others.C@Rg

METALS –In Rigveda there is a Sanskrit term ”Ayas” -that means ”Metal” and Bhartiyas had a clear knowledge on how to smelt metals like Brass , Copper ,Bronze that were used to make images of Gods in ancient Bharat .

Silver mines- were found in North West in ancient Bharat . Gold mines – found in Karnataka . Besides Jewellery ,Silver & Gold were also used for making coins , utensils & artifacts. Silver & Gold threads were woven into expensive fabrics to make dresses and sarees. C@Rg

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY , MACHINES

CHARRIOT & WHEEL– Chariots were used in times of ”Ramayan & Mahabharat” and chariots are carved almost in all ancient temples of Bharat . And a recent excavation unearthed a 7000 year old charriot which means Bharat gave wheels to the world that put the world into motion.

CARS– Vedic Period described them as ”ANASHVA RATH” or a yantra rath – the one that runs without horses.

FLYING MACHINES – known as VIMAN and the most talked about is the ”PUSHPAK VIMAN” in ”Ramayan”. And mentioned in Mahabarat and the Bhagwat Puran too. In 2012 an ancient 5000 year old Bhartiya Vimana was discovered in a cave of Afghanistan . The Vimana was entrapped ,believed to be protected by a strange energy barrier as it was difficult to extract the Vimana out of the cave .C@Rg

TRIPURA VIMAN- In ”Vaimanika Shastr” is described a high tec. vessel ”Tripura Viman’ which could have been used in – Air, Water and Land. About 8 chapters from”Vaimanika Shastr‘ tell about the secrets of constructing indestructible Vimanas /aeroplanes that are fire proof and damage proof. Planes that could be motionless and invisible too.

FLYING MACHINES- There is a reference of ancient Aviation in ”Rig Ved” , yes dont be surprised , aeroplanes that could fly between two countries and two continents ,but so advanced that could fly between two ”PLANETS” and could fly ”SIDEWAYS and BACKWARDS ” also. ”Vimanika Prakaranam’‘ a Bhartiy treatise on aviation – most of the principles now forgotten or stolen. C@Rg

RADAR SYSTEM– The ancient radar system was called ”ROOPARKANRAHAYSA” in this system the shape of the aeroplane was presented to the observer, instead of the mere ‘blimp’ that is seen on the modern radar system.

NAVIGATION – The term navigation itself, finds its roots in the sanskrit word ”Nava gatih”- ship movement”.

Navigational Compass – MATSAYA YANTR – The Vedic Bhartiyas knew of the magnetic ‘Compass for Navigational’ purposes which was a fish shaped metallic piece .

SHIPS – Bharat had a 25% share in the world trade in the first millennium. One of the secrets to Bharat’s prosperity – Bharat was a navigational giant that reigned over the oceans of the world as Bhartiyas excelled in the skill of constructing ships for trade around the world . Some Ships were built in a way that there would be several interlinked compartments and should one part of the ship be damaged ,the other remaining would still be afloat to complete its voyage . People from all over the world came to Bharat to learn this skill and Bharat built Ships for other countries .The evidence for knowledge of ship building is found in Rig Ved. In Ayodhya Kand of Ramayan there a passage which says about a preparation for a naval fight (RY 2.52).

SHIP BUILDING – YUKTIKALPATARU‘s authorship is attributed to king Bhoja in the eleventh century. The text classifies the ships according to their usage. It elaborates the ship building process to the minutest of details from suitable seasons for ship building, to the woods best suited ,names and measurements for different kinds of ships. Details like -the planks must not be joined with iron as the magnetic iron in sea water could expose the ship to danger. C@Rg

Vasco Di Gama attracted by Bharat’s riches, set out in search of Bharat, he supposedly came in the biggest ship available at that time in Europe but when he landed at cape of good hope ,he wondered how to go across the sea to reach Bharat .There he met a Gujrati who had trading ships twelve times bigger than the Vasco Di Gama’s ship . Vasco Di Gama’s ship in the centre was literally escorted by 3 huge Bhartiya ships on all sides to Bharat.

A I ROBOTS

Ancient A I ROBOT : BARBARIK (5000 yrs old) – About a 1000 years ago , in a village known as ”Khatu” in Rajasthan , while digging for water beneath ,the workers found a metal box that was sealed with one word engraved on it ”BARBARIK”. When the box was opened, inside lay a perfect Skull made of Metal with 2 Eye Balls in the eye sockets. Workers ran with the box and the Skull ,to the then ruling King Roopsingh Chauhan who asked all the learned men to decode the metal skull Barbarik . Ancient texts were scanned then a priest from the south explained that Barbaric had a major role in the battle of Mahabharat. So we have to go back to Mahabharat – Bhagwan Krishan met Barbarik to test his strength & intelligence when the war was about to begin. Barbarik demonstrated its extraordinary speed and precision in operating advanced weapons . ”Bhagwan Krishan” knew its not human, it is a metal AI Robot that would just follow instructions nonetheless if allowed in the battlefield ,with its unnatural intelligence would do more harm than any good . So ”Bhagvan Krishan” decides to disable the Robot by asking him to cut his head from his body and Barbarik hands over his head to ”Bhagvan Krishan” yet continues to talk which clearly shows it is an ”Artificial Intelligent Machine”. ”Bhagvan Krishan” attached 3 arrows to Barbarik’s head and uses it to fly over the field of Mahabharat by converting it into a DRONE . Today a Drone is used that has a central processor with cameras which is attached to 3 legs ,called a Tricopter Drone. The skull was the advanced processor with memory ,the eyes were the cameras and ”Bhagvan Krishan” attached 3 rotors to convert it into a drone to watch ,record the entire happenings of the battlefield . A person named Sanjay watched the entire battle live who was miles away from the battlefield yet he described every scene of the battlefield to the then blind King Dhritrashtr , cause Barbarik that was flying over the the battlefield was transmitting all the data via wireless technology. The name Barbarik comes from a Sanskrit word ”Barbar” which means inhuman and one that does not have or understand human emotions.

Most of the Mahabharat , like the above scene where ”a man who is miles away from the battlefield is seeing the happenings transmitted via wireless technology using an AI Robot” were beyond the intellect and understanding of the modern world for last 5000 years .What the world neither knew themselves nor wanted to believe that ancient Bharat was so advanced in science & technology ,therefore conveniently labeled this as another myth from our epic Mahabharat .And now the modern world has seen AI Robots evolve as recently as a 30-50 years .C@Rg

MOST ADVANCED GUIDED MISSILE, NOT REPLICATED TILL DATE:

While we are on Mahabharat, any talk would be incomplete without the mention of ”Bhagwan Krishan’s” famous Sudarshan Chakra. There is a lot of knowledge and wisdom hidden in every small chapter of Mahabharat, if only people would be mindful. Advanced weaponry of ancient Indian army is something we are all quite well aware of, but till what extent? You cant even begin to imagine and what i may just tell you, will stump you for sure. 
Ancient scriptures reveal that Bhagwan Shiv pleased by Bhagwan Vishnu’s devotion bestowed him with Sudarshan Chakr to fight the demons-the evil race also called Asuras.
If you break the word Sudarshan Chakr – then Su-means Auspicious, Darshan -means Vision and Chakra – means Movement.  It’s a disc shaped weapon which is formed of such concentrated Energy that its very heavy.,but lies and circles on Sri krishan’s finger effortlessly.Sri krishna is seen closing his eyes for a second to launch the Sudarshan Chakra to a specific person/ target by the ”most powerful software that is mind and thoughts” used herein , it beheads the target like a guided missile that would complete its job and be right back on his finger.
Some thought provoking observations:1- ”its launched by a mere Thought ”( shows the power of Mind & thought). 2- it goes to behead the target and ”comes right back on Sri krishnas finger again”.
3-Today the modern world has guided missiles which are fitted with high tech soft ware for launching it, that can go hit a specific target *but the missile  gets destroyed in the process*. There is not a weapon still as advanced as Sudarshan Chakr that comes back to the launch pad. 4- It’s for us to realize and awaken to what our ancient Epics are trying to teach us: *the supreme power of mind and thoughts* that no world’s high tech computer can ever match and how best to use it conducively.

INDUS VALLEY CIVILAZATION

We all remember of Indus Valley Civilization that flourished 5000 years back ,thankfully from our text books , (the only teeny bit of history that we were perhaps taught) for its unique & remarkable drainage system. Its cities are noted for their urban design and planning with use of baked bricks . They knew of water harvesting which was used as constant water supply to the city .The fact that this civilization was well acquainted with hygiene and sanitation is evident from the covered drains that were laid underground .

FLUSH TOILET – remains found of both Bhartiy and western toilets –are actually both Bhartiy with flush systems and unmatched Drainage system.

COOLING & HEATING- Homes were designed in a scientific way with multiple aspects with a system that naturally kept indoors cool & heated according to the weather ,much more advanced than modern world. Wind catchers : that were placed on roof tops to create natural ventilation. water reservoirs / stepwell :on the base of a building to entrap heat that would lower the temperature automatically . Jalis : that have ornamental patterns that gave privacy as well as light and wind and as it filters sunlight, it automatically prevents direct heat distribution , in short a thermal buffer, still in use in Rajasthan. Havelis: in olden days were designed by ”Vastu Shastr” principles that had a Chwok /Courtyard in the center of a Haveli that served for multiple religious & community festivities besides giving the inmates the luxury of open space and privacy both at the same time and which was shaded naturally but ensured light and cross ventilation to all the rooms naturally thus keeping the interiors naturally cool. C@Rg

THE GREAT BATH – excavated in Mohenjo -Daro, is a remarkable structure that was used as a community bath that covered an area of 12,000 sq,ft . with several rooms adjoining the swimming pool that obviously were meant to be changing rooms . To fill up such a humongous pool that size is yet another point to prove the level of our technological advancement.

RAIN WATER – Rain water harvesting was done naturally by ancient Bhartiyas .

HOT WATER : in ancient Bharat ,hot water for bathing that came down from the overhead tanks in the pipes that were heated naturally, dates back to indus valley civilisation. (Solar energy is now a pretty recent development)

HOMES that are designed so scientifically in Rajasthan a) Doors and windows were positioned in a way so that dust/sand didnt enter homes. b) Walls were made in a way that allowed houses to remain cool in summers and warm in winters. Astonishing? C@Rg

BRICKS – That are as ancient as Bharat is. In the Indus valley civilisation the street drains were made with baked bricks and special shaped bricks were used to form corners.

STUPAS- the oldest Stupa was built by king Ashok in 3rd BC ,its a hemispherical structure containing Sacred Relics .

STEPWELLS – are wells that were created as deep trenches into the earth for year round water and were multi purpose like for religious ceremonies , community meets and provided relief from daytime heat. Trenches walls were lined with blocks of stones and stairs leading down the water .The earliest existing stepwell was built in 11th Century in Gujrat ,the Mata Bhavani’s stepwell. These too are exemplary of ancient Architecture excellence.C@Rg

PREFABRICATED HOMES & MOVABLE STRUCTURES : Yes! these too! and they date back to many centuries .

Advanced ACOUSTIC SYSTEM- in ancient times the King’s Palace had a hall to conduct Political meetings wherein if one whispers or crumbles a piece of paper ,it could be heard clearly in the hall or farther away in the gallery . It was called WHISPERING GALLERY .

GAMES

History of games is a part of the history of a man as a social being . Play or games is innocence , creativity ,learning silently the physical and mental skills , team spirit and so much more . Play demands nothing as games are recreational. In Bharat games were designed as a holistic growth and development of mental and physical strengths. Many of the modern games which are being played internationally have their roots from Bharat.

CHESS- Originated in Bharat was called ‘Ashtapada’ then came to be known as ‘Chaturanga’ which was played by the royals , essentially designed to sharpen the brain & reflexes thus planning war like strategies on a Chess board that has a king, queen ,elephants ,horses etc...

SNAKES & LADDER-An ancient board game for two or more players . This was originated as a game of ‘Morality’ known as Gyan Chaupar/ Mokhsh Patam ,used to teach Hindu Dharm Values to children,The ladder in the game represented ‘Virtues’ and the snakes indicated ‘Vices’ ,until it was named snakes and ladders and what remained was just a game but no learnings from it anymore. Games like Ludo and Carrom too find their origin in Bharat. c@Rg

MALAKHAMBH –An ancient Bhartiya game that has gained international fame too. Designed to sharpen mental focus and physical strength of each limb as it requires an immense amount of control on ones movements.

JUDO & KARATE – To the surprise of many, these martial art forms originated in Bharat ,then later adopted by Buddhists Monks who spread these to other Asian countries when they travelled. These were designed for physical fitness and self defense.

KHO KHO ,KABBADI, BADMINTON – and many more originated in Bharat.

POLO –Manipur started this game , played on a horse back that in earlier times was played on elephants by kings of Rajasthan.

TEMPLES: ARCHITECTURE -MATHEMATICS – Architecture without in-depth knowledge of Mathematics is impossible.

The world views our Mystical Temples as architectural wonders .Whereas in reality these are designed with accuracy and precision , scientifically and painstakingly by our ancestors and have innumerable knowledge and history hidden in them.

Bharat’s temples are not just simple places of worship, they are in fact much more. These are sheer talking temples that were built to pass on their legacy of knowledge ,science & heritage to their future generations. These mammoth temples with colossal figures are in perfect proportion with their smooth contours and intricately carved ornaments that only add to the Grandeur. These Temples were designed to be Energy spaces where the Mind spontaneously moves within and meditation happens effortlessly moving the chakras in our body.

Temple is a miniature Cosmos that Comprises the Five Elements and a Presiding Devta / Devi from which Energy is constantly radiating .The Temples were built scientifically according the Vedic Calculations at a location where the maximum of Earth’s Magnetic Waves passed ,so that the entire surrounding region reverberated with the pious ,healing and empowering energy .C@Rg

And every temple certainly has a unique mysterious element to it that still remains a mystery unsolved by the modern world and there are tens of thousands of such temples all over Bharat that are a testimony of Bhartiyas knowledge and skill. Here are just a few of our Sacred Temples, for us to know in details about ancient Bharat .

JYOTIRLINGS- Many ancient Bhagvan Shiv’s temples from KEDARNATH in the Himalayas to RAMESHWARAM in the south are aligned in a ”Geographic straight line of longitude”. How did our ancestors construct temples that are separated by thousands of miles between them yet are on the same longitude ? They remain a mystery for the world but it means Bharat had Satellite Technology to measure longitude and latitude thousands of years back.

KAILASA TEMPLE – Situated in ELLORA caves- Maharashtra , is the world famous : the largest monolithic Rock temple . This temple is one of its kind as it was neither constructed by adding stone blocks nor a ‘cut in’ technique was done by ‘cutting into’ a Rock from the front of the rock ,as was the usual case in other Ellora temples . This is unique ,with a different technique wherein a mammoth Rock was ”CUT OUT” monolith from the ‘TOP” of the rock. It is dedicated to Bhagvan SHIV A CHARIOT shaped temple and its sheer size and architecture leaves one spellbound. The technique -”cut out” from the top of the rock , as to how was it measured so precisely with every stroke as there was no way to correct had a mistake happened and how was tons of rock removed each day that was chiseled and cut ? The modern world still looking for answers.

KONARK SUN TEMPLE – One of the most famous is Konark temple located in Odisha. Its dedicated to ”Surya Dev”, hence designed as His golden Chariot , drawn by seven horses which represent seven days of the week. That has 24 wheels that represent 24 hours in a day and each wheel has 8 spokes that represent the ”8 pahar” in a day. So scientifically designed that the Sun’s first rays fall on the Deity ,which is in the centre of the temple.

RAMAPPA TEMPLE– Situated 200 kms. from Hyderabad is a 800 year old temple that was built with a technology to withstand Earthquakes . It was made with floating bricks that are known as ”Autoclaved Aerated Concrete” Bricks which are lightweight and when dropped in water these bricks float. The use of these lightweight bricks make them Earthquake proof as they have holes and are half the weight of normal bricks .In the event of an Earthquake the structure can sway either ways but will not collapse whereas normal bricks become rigid hence the structure will crack or collapse. This temple is a standing proof of Bharat’s ancient technology as it withstood a massive Earthquake .

PADMANABHAN SWAMY TEMPLE -Its located in Thiruvananthapuram and the richest temple in the world with gold and jewels estimated at billions , that are stored in many underground chambers. One of the chambers remains a mystery to the world ,as the door to this chamber has no hinges , no handles ,no knobs ,no lock nor a key hole , as such no means of entry. The door can only be opened by chanting a specific mantra. Now ain’t this mesmerizing! Can there be anything more scientific ,more encoded than this? Does Modern technology have an answer as to how to open this door? Can the modern technology boast of any such epic feat? C@Rg

VEERABHADRA TEMPLE – Its a 16th century temple that is situated in Lepakshi [Andhra Pradesh] dedicated to Bhagvan SHIV. This is the famous temple for its marvel of a hanging pillar / column that does not rest on the ground . out of the 70 pillars , one pillar does not touch the ground and one can slip a paper or a cloth underneath to be mesmerized by the genius of engineering of ancient times. This pillar leaves all clueless as to how a heavy stone pillar is hanging loose for hundreds of years.

MUSICAL PILLARS -of Vijay Vittala Temple of Hampi are a testimony of Science unparalled that has been fascinating people since time immemorial .It has 56 musical pillars also known as Sa, Re , Ga , Ma pillars There is a set of main pillars and many smaller ones at the Mantapa ,when tapped gently or by sandalwood ,each pillar releases different musical notes. Modern world still intriuged at what science was known to ancient Bhartiy’s that defy all modern scientific laws ,for us these are Divine Mysteries.

NELLIAPPAR TEMPLE- Musical Magnificence !! Located in Tamil Nadu ,Its dedicated to Bhagvan SHIV . With 161 pillars that play musical sounds like a musical instrument .When you tap a pillar ,it plays musical notes which sounds bell like . And interestingly when one pillar is tapped ,the surrounding ones vibrate. What technology was this?

RAMESHWARAM TEMPLE – Dedicated to Bhagvan SHIV ,its one of the 12 Jyotirling ,located on Rameswaram island in Tamil Nadu . Famed for the longest corridor in the world .It has 1212 pillars and when seen from one end ,the 1212 pillars meet in one dot. Beyond ones imagination as to what precise calculations were used for it to be so precise and such a visual delight ! C@Rg

Ancient Temples with MOVING PARTS – Bharat’s temples that have Moving Parts in Stone- A column made of solid stone that rotates certainly has a rotating mechanism shows what advanced knowledge in engineering our ancestors had. In another temple there is a stone ball inside a hollow column with holes . You can move and rotate the ball with your fingers but you can not pull the ball out ,then how was the ball placed inside? In another temple ,a stone lion has a ball inside its mouth. You can touch it and rotate it but the ball cannot be pulled out,then how was it placed inside the mouth? The lion is made of Granite and the ball is of a rock Onyx -these are mysteries yet to be unraveled by the modern world.

An ancient temple situated in”Vettuvan koil” has a ceiling made of stone that has been carved with ”Navagraha” -the 9 Deities that influence human life on earth , the 12 zodiac signs and many more features of astrology.

STARGATE – THROUGH WHICH BHAGVAN VISHNU JI CAME ON EARTH.

SILATHORANAM ( STARGATE )-means a ”decorated rock gateway”. Ancient huge ”Stone Arch” situated in the Sacred hills of Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh . There is something very strange about this stone arch as it emits Electro Magnetic Radiation ,leaving Cell phones & cameras dead therefore authorities had to fence it and keep it locked. Some people still say it is a natural rock formation but then rocks do not emit Electro Magnetic Radiation. The official plaque on this Sacred site reads ”Devotees believe that Lord Vishnu, the presiding deity of this Sacred hill, appeared through this Stargate” . A Stargate that can transport one instantly , from a distant planet to another planet. Bhagwan Vishnu set foot here on Earth and also carved his feet on a strange stone that is thousands of years old, for this event to be remembered . This ”feet carved stone” too is locked ,as just like the Stargate , this too emits Electro Magnetic Radiation. This sacred site is just half a mile from ”Bhagwan Vishnu’s temple” ,one of the richest temples .

These Sacred Temples till date are unfathomable by the modern world then if and when they are decoded, will the modern world be able to replicate any of these with all the modern technical support ? This clearly indicates that to have built such temples thousand of years ago means a much superior Bhartiy civilization existed thousands of years ago.C@Rg

ANCIENT WAY OF TEACHING : GURUKULS

We are all well aware that ancient Bharat was technically & scientifically more advanced than all its counterparts, as well as a sound well developed nation ethically, morally with a rich cultural heritage to boast of . While this definitely can be attributed to the learnings from Veds & innumerable Sacred texts, however the fact that these were taught in a particular way at ” Gurukuls” is what is noteworthy. Ancient Gurukul was a residential learning centre with a holistic approach on shaping the entire personality of each student as per the students uniqueness ,so each one could excel in all aspects of life . It was what you call truly preparing an individual to enter the world based on his unique personality and expertise. To read more on Gurukuls, you can click on the link below to read my detailed blog on this subject:©copyrighthttps://blogitwithrekha.com/2021/01/09/ancient-way-of-teaching-and-learning-bharats-gurukuls/

BHARATIY’S SANSKARS & BHARTIYATA

To begin with its noteworthy that : We have never invaded another country.

Bhagvan GAUTAM BUDH -Bhagvan Budh’s teachings that enlightened the world and his teachings that spread over to most parts of the world, making Budhisim a Religion that is followed till date.

Holy river GANGA –Innumerable holy rivers of Bharat : like Ganga ,the water even though stored for years, doesn’t spoil . The modern world is still researching on it!

Sanjeevni Booti – Bharat is a divine and a blessed country as it has so many Sacred Rivers ,innumerable Spices ,Vegitables ,Fruits .Pulses , Grains, and medicinal plants too ,one of them Sanjeevni Buti which can bring a dead to life again as proven in our ”Sacred RAMAYAN”. However in addition to much popular sanjeevani booti, there are atleast millions of other plants and herbs with powerful medicinal properties.

An innate sanskar of Bhartiy’s strong belief in a sanskrit phrase from the texts of Maha Upnishads ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakm ‘- Vasudha: ‘the Earth’ : ‘is’ Kutumbakam- ‘family’ –that means ”The world is one family” .This perhaps explains why Bhartiy’s have never tried to make their knowledge exclusive nor sold or patented what was rightfully ours.

Whenever any country has needed us in any way , we have been always there upfront to help despite our internal or external problems .One can find various instances of Bharat’s helpful nature. But the most known is the story of ”Dr. KOTNIS ” that is embedded in everyone’s memory. Even today amidst the raging covid-19, Bharat is only on the mission of providing first the immediate medicine ”hydroxychloroquine” to more than 50 countries in 2020 and now again in 2021, providing ”covid -19 vaccines” to as many countries as possible. Bhutan’s Prime Minister ‘Lotay Tshering’ had a beautiful thing to say about our country ,he says ”It is of unimaginable value when precious commodities are shared even before meeting your own needs, as opposed to giving out only after you have enough”. WHAT OCCURS TODAY BECOMES HISTORY TOMORROW. I sincerely hope all this that we are witnessing in the wake of this pandemic and Bharat’s pivotal role in it is going down in our children’s textbooks, lest someone alters this fact and says many years later ‘this is all fabricated’.

It is a well known fact now that Bhartiyas form the largest number of tourists, contributing major portions to countries whose economy depends solely on tourism . When we visit these countries , all that we do is take pictures of only thats good about that country with an elevated thought process .Much on the contrary, foreigners who visit Bharat , mostly relish in showing Bharat in a poor light, capturing poverty struck slums ,etc….

The world’s major brains be it doctors , engineers ,scientists anywhere in the world, are Bhartiya’s. We face mental and physical aggression that is racism, yet we bhartiyas keep contributing to the host country we make a home in, never ever retaliate. Its time the world gives the honour due to us.

After experiencing Yog’s benefits the world is secretly looking upto Bharat’s ancient culture, heritage and wisdom,be it Auyrved -Medicine ,Prayanam ,Science ,Architecture , Mantras and Prayers , Medicine ….to all most everything as the world has silently concurred that Bharat has all the answers to each and every aspect of life.

CONCLUSION

We believe we are a modern & an advanced world which is far from true as the modern world is not even a tiny percentage of how advanced ancient Bharat was. Not being vainglorious, just stating facts as a proud Bhartiya .

I am deeply in gratitude to our ancestors for leaving a Scientific legacy on every aspect of life not only for us but for the world and the well being of humanity that everyone needs to be in gratitude of .

Countries through out the world have SANSKRIT as part of their curriculum at schools and universities for decades now. Countries such as -Britain , Germany, America, Australia, Austria, Belgium , Denmark , Finland, Italy, Netherland, Russia , China , Sweden , Norway, Switzerland , Japan , Singapore, Bhutan Nepal, Malaysia , SriLanka and many more …….. Seton Hall University USA has made it compulsory to study ”BHAGVAD GITA” for all its Management students. Amazing and all of this only proves my belief right that ‘Bhartiya culture and principles are deep rooted in Eternity” .

Although our generation and next have studied Sanskrit in schools yet we rarely come across anyone reading, writing, speaking Sanskrit or anyone who pursues a career in Sanskrit . Then ,what after 30 years from now ? Who knows what the future would be like -perhaps the world will be proficient in Sanskrit and may claim it as their language whereas we Bhartiy’s may be inept to defend it as our own. Scary? But a serious THOUGHT TO PONDER over.

As on one hand the world is learning our language Sanskrit to understand our ancient Manuscripts that have laid the principles of ”LIFE and what & how its to be done from the basics to advanced” , yet on the other hand mocks us ,so as to make us forget and get distant from all that is Bhartiyta and that Bharat represents ……. Its time to stop being fooled and wake up to everything that Bharat represents .

Are we not enslaved by the language ”English” that was left behind as a parting gift ? Is it not imperative to free ourselves & drop this garb / complex of ”English” that has been successfully instilled in each one of us to believe that the ‘‘one who speaks English is modern and intelligent” ? Any language ,the way you read, write or speak shows only your proficiency in that specific language. Its an advantage to learn as many languages as one can yet the fact remains that a language is only a tool of communication. How can a language be the criterion of ones intellect ? On the contrary, intellect /wisdom is reflected in one thoughts and how one verbalises them and in one’s actions, that is one’s behaviour.

The Britishers not only strategically left their language behind, but alongside they ensured that we be ashamed of our own mother tongue …Hindi a language that needed to be revered and carried forward was now scorned at, and by whom ? Our very own Bhartiyas, and this is sad… Its time we embrace our mother tongue Hindi proudly, speak it unapologetically, just as any other nation like France or Japan do. So come on people…its you and I who have to do that.

When at home,we eat with our hands, then why are we embarrassed to do so outside? Is it not the fear of being judged, by our very own too ? Instead of our mother tongue Hindi , why do most of us try to converse in English with others ? Why, Why ,and so many more Why’s .Why do we hide our rich culture , traditions and way of life thats so logical, so beautiful.

Let us begin by (A) Embracing Sanskrit again and making it a compulsory language till university. (B) Teach ancient history the way it should be, from thousands of years ago, for our future generations. (C) Of all our Sacred Texts ‘Bhagvad Gita’ with lessons on karma needs to be taught – to instill righteousness and moral values in each child . (D) Games & Activities and all forms of self defense and valour to shape and polish the overall personality of a child . (E) A combination of ancient education principles with modern day education could do wonders (F) Lastly to instill in each child the feeling of nationalism and how they need to be proud of their country .

Incase some of you are wondering at this point that all the above may not be beneficial in todays competitive modern world, than perhaps we need to learn a thing or two from our friends- the Japanese. Japan has been ahead of all the modern countries in technology & advancement yet they have strongly guarded their ancient traditions and culture passing it on to the generation after generation, be it their food, their martial arts training, their language, everything without being apologetic about it even for a second.

Bharat’s legacy is yet to be decoded and understood after thousands of years . It not only requires – firstly true acknowledgement of this vast knowledge by us bhartiyas first, then a thorough research and understanding of this knowledge and then finally passing it on to generations to learn and live by.

What the world cannot understand or scientifically prove, they conveniently dismiss off as myth or superstitions. But remember Iron cannot be damaged by anything but its own rust. Similarly our country Bharat needs to be recognised and upheld by its own people. Recognise yourself as a Bhartiya first. Your state, language, religion obviously comes later.

We are the oldest civilization a powerhouse packed with knowledge and Virtues and as of today we are the youngest nation of the world with more than 54% of the total population below 25 years of age, which is a triumphant combination to move forward positively…..

My humble attempt to bring to light –the most knowledgeable, wealthy, powerful, influencer Bharat that our ancestors created and have left for us But do not rest on their laurels rather , be inspired enough to replicate the magic wherein Bharat is again a Super Power Nation .

I am blessed to be a Bhartiya.

This is just the beginning about Bharat the Divine and Mystic land…….…
