 # Sanatan Science: The Ancient Wisdom of India

Sanatan Science is a term that refers to the scientific knowledge and discoveries that were made by the ancient sages (rishis) of India. Sanatan means eternal, universal and timeless, and science means systematic knowledge derived from observation and experimentation. Sanatan Science is not limited by any religion, sect or dogma, but encompasses the spiritual and material aspects of life.

Sanatan Science is based on the Vedas, which are considered to be the oldest scriptures in the world. The Vedas contain various branches of knowledge such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, metallurgy, architecture, music, yoga and more. The Vedas also reveal the nature of reality, consciousness and God.

Some examples of Sanatan Science are:

- The concept of zero and decimal system was developed by Indian mathematicians such as Aryabhata, Brahmagupta and Bhaskara.

- The heliocentric model of the solar system was proposed by Aryabhata long before Copernicus.

- The theory of gravity was explained by Varahamihira in his book Panchasiddhantika.

- The concept of atomism was expounded by Kanada in his book Vaisheshika Sutra.

- The principles of surgery were practiced by Sushruta, who is known as the father of surgery. He performed various operations such as cataract removal, rhinoplasty and caesarean section.

- The science of Ayurveda was developed by Charaka and Vagbhata, who classified diseases, herbs and treatments based on their properties and effects.

- The science of metallurgy was advanced by Nagarjuna, who discovered various alloys such as steel (kusha), brass (pitala) and zinc (yashada).

- The science of architecture was codified by Vishwakarma in his book Vastu Shastra. He laid down the rules for designing buildings according to their purpose and location.

- The science of music was refined by Bharata Muni in his book Natya Shastra. He defined the concepts of raga (melody), tala (rhythm) and swara (notes).

- The science of yoga was systematized by Patanjali in his book Yoga Sutra. He described the eight limbs of yoga such as yama (ethical rules), niyama (personal disciplines), asana (postures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (absorption).

These are just some examples of Sanatan Science that show how our ancient rishis had a profound understanding of nature and its laws. They also had a holistic vision that integrated spirituality with science.

Unfortunately, many people are unaware or ignorant about Sanatan Science due to various reasons such as colonialism, westernization,

invasion etc  . Many foreign scholars have either distorted or appropriated Sanatan Science without giving proper credit to its original sources. This has led to a loss of identity and pride among Indians.

Sanatan Science is not outdated or irrelevant, but timeless and universal . It can help us achieve harmony peace and happiness. Jay Jay Shree Ram Garv Se Kaho Ham Hindu Hai.
