Modern Science and Astronomy says that-
\nDistance of Earth from Sun is 152 million km.<\/b>
\nI came across an interesting post on FaceBook\u00a0 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.
\nT<\/b>wo lines of Hindu Prayer ” Hanuman Chalisa” computes that distance with great simplicity and that too quite accurately –
\n! \u091c\u0941\u0917 \u0938\u0939\u0938\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u092f\u094b\u091c\u0928 \u092a\u0930 \u092d\u093e\u0928\u0941, \u0932\u0940\u0932\u094d\u092f\u094b \u0924\u093e\u0939\u093f \u00a0\u092e\u0927\u0941\u0930 \u092b\u0932 \u091c\u093e\u0928\u0942<\/b> !
\nThis means that Sun (\u092d\u093e\u0928\u0941 ) is at a distance of\u00a0 Juug Sahastra Yojans<\/u> (\u091c\u0941\u0917 \u0938\u0939\u0938\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u092f\u094b\u091c\u0928- Distance Unit in Hindi)
\nAccording to following conversion practices that are in use as per Hindu Vedic Literature-
\n1Juug= 12000
\nSahastra= 1000
\n1Yojan=8 Miles
\nThus 12000X1000X8 = 96,000,000\u00a0 miles
\nI miles= 1.6 kms
\nThis further implies that distance is about 153,600,000 Km.<\/b>
\nS<\/b>ome google research told me that in the 17th century two scientists Giovanni and Richer have calculated the distance of sun from earth\u00a0 accurately and real close( at 140 million kilometers) to now officially declared figures.
\nHanuman 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.
\nQuestion here is not how Tulsidas calculated this distance or how he came to know about this distance.
\nBut 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\u00a0 todays advanced nuclear energy age.
\nHistory 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.
\nOcean 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
