SCIENCE AND BRAHMAM
Buddhism and science have been regarded as compatible by numerous
authors Some philosophic and psychological teachings found in Buddhism
share points in common with modern Western scientific and philosophic
thought. For example, Buddhism encourages the impartial investigation of
nature (an activity referred to as Dhamma-Vicaya in the Pali Canon)—the
principal object of study being oneself. Buddhism and science both show a
strong emphasis on causality. However, Buddhism does not focus on
materialism. Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, mentions that empirical
scientific evidence supersedes the traditional teachings of Buddhism when
the two are in conflict. In his book The Universe in a Single Atom he
wrote, "My confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief
that as in science, so in Buddhism, understanding the nature of reality is
pursued by means of critical investigation." He also stated, "If scientific
analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be
false," he says, "then we must accept the findings of science and abandon
those claims." [Russell, Robert John (2008). Cosmology: From Alpha to
Omega.]
The west thinks “The concepts of "science" and "religion" are a
recent invention: "religion" emerged in the 17th century in the midst of
colonization, globalization and as a consequence of the Protestant
reformation. "Science" emerged in the 19th century in the midst of attempts
to narrowly define those who studied nature. Originally what is now known
as "science" was pioneered as "natural philosophy".It was in the 19th
century that the terms "Buddhism", "Hinduism", "Taoism", "Confucianism" and
"World Religions" first emerged. In the ancient and medieval world, the
etymological Latin roots of both science (scientia) and religion (religio)
were understood as inner qualities of the individual or virtues, never as
doctrines, practices, or actual sources of knowledge. THUS, THE FALLACY
OCCURRED FROM THE WEST THEORY OF PRESUMING AND MICING ALL ONLY AS RELIGIONS
BY CONCOCTIONS. YES, HINDUISM WAS IN 19TH BUT NOT THE SANATANA DHARMA; YES,
ALL OTHERS WERE RELIGIONS AS THERE WERE FOUNDERS. APORUSHEYA IS NOT A
RELIGION; BUDDISM WAS FOUNDED BY 1000 TO 500 BCE; JAINISM, SIKIISM WERE
VERY OLD AS PERSIANS’ GRANTH. YES, SCIENCE IS RECENT VIZ THE TERM MODERN
SCINCE BUT RIG VEDAM HAD /HAS MORE SCIENCE. CHRITIANITY, ISLAM ET AL ARE
RECCENT.
According to physical chemist Peter Atkins, "whereas religion scorns
the power of human comprehension, science respects it." Planetary scientist
Carolyn Porco describes a hope that "the confrontation between science and
formal religion will come to an end when the role played by science in the
lives of all people is the same played by religion today." Geologist and
paleontologist Donald Prothero has stated that religion is the reason
"questions about evolution, the age of the earth, cosmology, and human
evolution nearly always cause Americans to flunk science literacy tests
compared to other nations." Then onwards Science is going through the EGO
while many scienbtists did not. By religion west wrote only about the
christianity attacking it as against the GOD and Nature.
Inspite of so many west writyers wrote about the significance of the
sanatana dharma of India, west took to Buddism only which is an off shoot
of Hiduism. The blatant adamantacity under the guile of reason and Logic of
the west , lead them to write as,” The actual evidences that finally proved
heliocentrism came centuries after Galileo: the stellar aberration of light
by James Bradley in the 18th century, the orbital motions of binary stars
by William Herschel in the 19th century, the accurate measurement of the
stellar parallax in the 19th century, and Newtonian mechanics in the 17th
century.According to physicist Christopher Graney, Galileo's own
observations did not actually support the Copernican view, but were more
consistent with Tycho Brahe's hybrid model where that Earth did not move
and everything else circled around it and the Sun. But never adduced the
verse of Rig vedam as helio-centrical. The Rigveda, an ancient Indian Vedic
Sanskrit text, is one of the first to suggest that the sun is at the center
of the solar system, with other planets orbiting it. The Rigveda's 1.35.7-9
suggests that the sun's rays extend from the earth to the heavens, placing
the sun at the center of the universe. The Rigveda also states that the sun
moves in its own orbit, which is also moving. The Rigveda also describes
the sun god, also known as "Savita", as the center of the solar system, an
embodiment of the almighty god, and an inspirer of all. Vedic literature
also refers to the sun as the "center of spheres" that are in motion due to
gravitational force. It also suggests that there are suns in all directions
in the night sky, and that when one sun sets, thousands take its place.

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.
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
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
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.”
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.
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.”
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.
Atharva Veda 4.11.1
“The sun has held the earth and other planets”
LIGHT OF MOON
Rig Veda 1.84.15
“The moving moon always receives a ray of light from sun”
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
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.”
So many verses of the sanatana dharma from Rig vedam the oldest on earth is
ignored not as science but termed as Religion infrior to christianity by
the British.
PEW Research says that- According to the poll, just over half
of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power;
specifically, 33% of scientists say they believe in God, while 18% believe
in a universal spirit or higher power.
And according to edas, and advaitham, science is again the
brahmam, and so science and Brahmam is wrong nomeclature. As brahmam is
positive and negative, plus and the minus, so the annhilations of the
nature is aklso the Brahmam only as the creation and protection. Maya
prakrti came ot of the brahmam only. In duality alone science becmes
another than GOD.
