MISNOMER OF HINDU RELIGION
"Hindu means" hinsam dusayati
khandayati Iti hinduh "" where violence, and sin are hated is a Hindu.
("హిందూ అంటే "హింసాం దూషయతి ఖండయతి ఇతి హిందుః"" ఎక్కడైతే హింస, పాపము ఉన్నాయో దానిని ఖండించేవాడే హిందువు . ఋగ్వేదం సిందు నది పరివహక ప్రాంతాన్ని సప్త సింధు (ఏడు నదులు కల ప్రాంతం) అని పేర్కొంది. జొరాస్ట్రియనుల గ్రంథాలలో కూడా దీని గురించి ప్రస్తావన ఉంది.
The word Hindu is derived (through Persian) from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, the historic local name
for the Indus River in the
northwestern part of the Indian Subcontinent (Modern day Pakistan). The word Sindhu is first mentioned in the Rigveda.
The word Hindu was taken by European languages from
the Arabic term " al-Hind
" and refers to the land of the
people who live across the River Indus.
This Arabic term was
itself taken from the Persian term Hindū,
which refers to all Indians. By the 13th century, Hinduism emerged as a popular alternative Name of India, meaning the "land of Hindus"
Hinduism consists of many diverse traditions and has
no single founder, Among its direct roots is the
Historical Vedic Religion of Iron age of India. As
such, Hinduism is often called the as the " Oldest Religion " or
"oldest living religion" in the world.
Hinduism is also the oldest living major
tradition on earth with roots reaching back into prehistory. It
is described as both the oldest of the world's religions and the most diverse. Hinduism
does not have a "unified system of belief encoded in a declaration of
faith or a Creed, but is rather an umbrella term
comprising the plurality of religious phenomena originating in, and based on,
the Vedic Traditions.
According to the Supreme Court of India,
"Unlike other religions in the World, the Hindu religion does not claim
any one Prophet, it does not worship any one God, it does not believe in any
one philosophic concept, it does not follow any one act of religious rites or
performances; in fact, it does not satisfy the traditional features of a
religion or creed. It is a way of life and nothing more"
However, other religions of India , such as Budhism , Jainism and Sikhism, believe
in karma, outside the scope of Hinduism.
Hinduism is therefore viewed as the
most complex of all the living, historical world religions.
Hinduism, is defined , as Sanātana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase
meaning "The Eternal Law" or the "eternal way". To its adherents, Hinduism is the
traditional way of life. Because of the wide range of traditions and ideas covered by the
term.
A
definition of Hinduism given by the first Vice President of India who was also
a prominent theologian, Sarvepalli Radhakrishna, states that Hinduism is not
"just a faith" but in itself is related to the union of reason and Intuition. Radhakrishna explicitly states that Hinduism cannot be
defined, but is only to be experienced.
Hinduism's tolerance to variations in belief and
its broad range of traditions make it difficult to define as a religion
according to traditional Western conceptions.

RECENT DISCOVERIES ARE FOUND IN ANCIENT HINDU SCRIPTURES
REPRINT FROM MY OWN BLOG - SREEASTROPOINT
- Handed down from generation to generation since the Vedic age through the guru-shishya parampara, committing to memory and reciting these verses comes from years of arduous practice.
- ” India – the land of Vedas, the remarkable works contains not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all are known to the seers who founded the Vedas.”
- Ujjain is a city in the state of Madhya Pradhesh. City of Ujjain (one who conquers with pride) was once ruled by the legendary king Vikramaditya. King Vikramaditya was known for his valor and impeccable justice. His court was adorned by nine famous courtiers called Navaratna (nine gems), who were great scholars in different fields of knowledge. ( Kalidasa became the most brilliant of the `nine gems’ at the court of Vikramaditya of Ujjain.) Despite extensive effort, Vikramaditya can not be identified with any known historical king.
- The real meaning is revealed by considering the meaning of these words. Vikramaditya is made by joining prefix “Vi” to words “Krama” and “Aditya”. “Krama” means order, “Aditya” means sun and prefix “Vi” means deviation. Therefore, etymologically Vikramaditya means the change in the course of the sun. What is significant is Ujjain is located on the tropic of cancer. Thus, sun comes to Ujjain during its northward journey, changes its course, and starts its southward journey. Vikramaditya is sun itself changing its journey at Ujjain. Nine gems in the court of Vikramaditya are nine planets of Solar system.
- Ujjain was known as Ujjayini in ancient times and was the capital of ancient empire Avanti. Ujjayini was the center of Indian civilization for several centuries and famous for its astronomical observatory. Ujjayini was equivalent of Greenwich, from where time was synchronized all over India and even abroad. New day commenced when it was six a.m. in Ujjayini. When it is six in the morning in Ujjain, it is midnight in Britain. It is from this ancient system of changing date in the morning in Ujjain that changing date at midnight has been arrived at.
- As time was synchronized in a large part of the world according to Ujjayini standard time, it was only natural to designate the god of Ujjain as god time himself, and therefore the name Mahakala, Time the great.
- Not only do the Vedas contain a high level of philosophical and spiritual knowledge, but they also hold information on material science. The Vedic literature includes such works as the Ayur-Veda, the original science of wholistic medicine as taught by Lord Dhanvantari; Dhanur-veda, the military science as taught by Bhrigu; Gandharva-veda, which is on the arts of music, dance, drama, etc.. by Bharata Muni, Artha-sastram, the science of government, and the Manu-samhita, the Vedic lawbook.
- There is also the Sulbha sutras, which contains the Vedic system of mathematics. These sutras are a supplement of the Kalpasustras, which shows the earliest forms of algebra. The Vedic form of mathematics is much more advanced than that found in early Greek, Babylonian, Egyptian, or Chinese civilizations. In fact, the geometrical formula known as the Pythagorean theorem can be traced to the Baudhayana, the earliest form of the Shulba Sustras prior to the 8th century B. C.
- Mathematics
- It was this Indian system that originated the decimal system of tens, hundreds, etc., and the procedure of carrying the remainder of one column over to the next. It also provided a means of dividing fractions and the use of equations and letters to signify unknown factors. These Indian numbers were used in Arabia after 700 AD. and then spread to Europe where they were called the Arabic numerals. It is only because Europe changed from Roman numerals to these Arabic numerals that originated in India that many of the developments in Europe in the fields of science and math were able to take place.
- The number 108 is very auspicious for Hindus. It is the number of beads of a rosary and of many other things in Indian cosmology. But why is this number considered to be holy?
- The answer to this mystery may lie in the fact that the ancient Indians took this to be the distance between the earth and the sun in sun-diameter units and the distance between the earth and the moon in moon-diameter units.
- Two facts that any book on astronomy will verify :
- Distance between earth and sun = 108 times sun-diameter
- Distance between earth and moon = 108 times moon-diameter
- The science of mathematics starts from counting of numbers. The present versatile system of decimal numbers needed two fundamental discoveries: the concept of zero and the principle of place value in powers of the radix. And both of these were discovered in India. The place value system made the sexagesimal numbers of Babylonians obsolete (its only remains are 1 hour=60 minutes, and 1 minute=60 seconds). And now the Roman numbers are also getting gradually replaced by Arabic numerals on the place value pattern. The present numerals are called Arabic not because they were invented in Arab but because Indian things had to go via Arabian countries to Europe.
- Similar to these two concepts, there is a very fundamental concept of infinity. In modern mathematics, infinity has been taken as an infinite extension of large numbers. In India, the concept of infinity was given deep attention in ancient times. It was found that infinity is not just a number but it is as tangible as any reality of general experience, and many of its properties were enumerated. In mathematical language, it can be defined as a universal set which is a proper subset of its every proper subset. Modern mathematics may enrich itself by working out the implications of such a definition of infinity.
- Description of Tides:
- The Vishnu Purana gives a quite an accurate description of tides:
- “In all the oceans the water remains at all times the same in quantity and never increases or diminishes; but like the water in a cauldron, which in consequence of its combination with heat, expands, so the waters of the ocean swell with the increase of the Moon. The waters, although really neither more nor less, dilate or contract as the Moon increases or wanes in the light and dark fortnights…..”
- India has left a universal legacy determining for instance the dates of solstices, as noted by 18th century French astronomer Jean-Sylvain Baily, (1736–93) 18th century French astronomer and politician.
- Jean-Sylvain Baily said:
- “The movement of stars which was calculated by Hindus 4,500 years ago, does not differ even by a minute from the tables which we are using today.” And he concludes: “The Hindu systems of astronomy are much more ancient than those of the Egyptians – even the Jews derived from the Hindus their knowledge.”
- Electricity
- The ancient text of Agastya Samhita describes the method of making electric battery, and that water can be split into oxygen and hydrogen.
