Vedic Cosmology

Tomas wrote: "A thousand years before the childish image of the earth drawn by Cosmas Indicopleustes, a scholar-explorer of the 6th century, in his Christian Topography, philosophers had a different and much more accurate idea of the shape of the earth. Until the second part of the 19th century scholars and clerics of the West thought that the earth was but a few thousand years old. Yet ancient Brahmin books, estimated the Day of Brahma, the life-span of our universe, to be 4.32 billion years. This figure is close to that of our astronomers, who calculate it to be about 4.6 billion years."

The Method of Making Electric Battery

Tomas wrote/quoted: 

“Place a well-cleaned copper plate in an earthenware vessel. Cover it first by copper sulfate and then by moist sawdust. After that, put a mercury-amalgamated zinc sheet on top of the sawdust to avoid polarization. The contact will produce an energy known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna.  Water will be split by this current into Pranavayu and Udanavayu.  A chain of one hundred jars is said to give a very effective force. ”

Evolution ~ Manusmriti

Tomas wrote: "It is significant that while the Europeans of a century or two ago erroneously traced the origin of man and the universe to a date less than 6,000 years before their time , many thinkers of the ancient past had truly scientific concepts of the long evolution of man. According to the Sanskrit Book of Manu (c. second century B.C.) the germ of life first appeared in water from the action of heat."

Smallpox Vaccination: Sactya Grantham

“The Sactya Grantham, a Brahmin book compiled about 1500 B.C., contains the following passage giving instructions on smallpox vaccination: “Take on the tip of a knife the contents of the inflammation, inject it into the arm of a man, mixing it with his blood. A fever will follow but the malady will pass very easily and will create no complications.” ‘Edward Jenner (1749 – 1823) is credited with the discovery of vaccination but it appears that ancient India has prior claim!’

Roman Trade & Indian Sari

“If, as the author has, you have traveled and seen the shops of Madras and Bombay, full of colorful saris, you may be surprised to find out that during the reins of Vespasian and Diocletian textiles from India were on sale in Rome. But only the very rich could afford them. For silks, brocades, muslins, and cloth of gold bought in India, Rome remitted annually a considerable sum-possibly an equivalent of $40,000,000.”

Atomic Structure of Matter

Tomas wrote: "The atomic structure of matter is mentioned in the Brahmin treatises Vaisesika and Nyaya.” The Yoga Vasishta says: “There are vast worlds within the hollows of each atom, multifarious as the specks in a sunbeam.” "The Indian sage Uluku proposed a hypothesis over 2,500 years ago that all material objects were made of paramanu, or seeds of matter. He was then nicknamed Kanada, or the swallower of grains."

America Described in Vishnu Purana

Tomas wrote: "The Vishnu Purana, a sacred book of India, contains a significant passage about Pushkar (a continent) with two Varshas (lands) which lie at the foot of Meha (the North Pole). The continent faces Kshira (an ocean of milk), and the two lands are shaped like a bow. Mythological non-sense? Not really. The Brahmin text concerns the continent of America (Pushkar), with its two land divisions, North and South (the two Varshas). America certainly faces the polar ocean (ocean of milk), and the profile of the North and South America does resemble a bow as described by Vishnu Purana."

Air Travel ~ Vimana

Tomas wrote: The subject of aviation was real at the dawn of history, as we can see from the Sanskrit terms vimana vidya, or the science of building and piloting airships. Concrete ideas concerning aviation were present in an epoch which is regarded as the infancy of mankind. The Indian classic Mahabharata, one of the oldest books in the world, speaks of an "Ariel chariot with the sides of iron and clad wings." An aeroplane?
