Modern Science and
Astronomy says that-
Distance of Earth from Sun is 152 million km.
I
came across an interesting post on FaceBook
regarding this distance calculation and thought to share an elaborate
verison of it with you all. It will help you to understand the significance of
our ancient principles, technology and culture.
Two lines of Hindu Prayer " Hanuman
Chalisa" computes that distance with great simplicity and that too quite
accurately -
! जुग सहस्त्र योजन पर भानु, लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू !
This means that Sun
(भानु ) is at a distance of Juug Sahastra Yojans (जुग सहस्त्र योजन- Distance
Unit in Hindi)
According to
following conversion practices that are in use as per Hindu Vedic Literature-
1Juug= 12000
Sahastra= 1000
1Yojan=8 Miles
Thus 12000X1000X8 =
96,000,000 miles
I miles= 1.6 kms
This further implies
that distance is about 153,600,000 Km.
Some
google research told me that in the 17th century two scientists Giovanni and
Richer have calculated the distance of sun from earth accurately and real close( at 140 million
kilometers) to now officially declared figures.
Hanuman Chalisa has
been validated by Goswami Tulsidas who is believed to be of 15th Century. This
means distance of Sun from Earth has been calculated much more accurately than
these 17th century scientists even two centuries before their birth.
Question here is not
how Tulsidas calculated this distance or how he came to know about this
distance.
But the attention of
the moment should be on that people even in that age have knowledge and
capabilities that is beyond the imagination of our so called todays advanced nuclear energy age.
History is not presented to us in a way it
should be. There are still many elements and precious jewels of information
that are being kept hidden from us.
Ocean of history is
before you, dive in and dig the jewels out.The gleaming beam of knowledge from
these jewels will not only enrich our country but will also keep bestowing
direction to our future generations.
