So, we have Read in school that Sir Isaac Newton found the law
of gravitation. This reality is engraved in our brain. It is no
embellishment to state that Newton and Gravity are synonymous
terms or two sides of a similar coin! The simple articulation of ‘gravity‘ will
transport you to the landscape of Newton.
Yet, do you know Ancient Indian writings discover specify of attractive
energy a large number of years prior before Newton found it? Bhaskaracharya,
otherwise called Bhaskara II, the immense mathematician and astronomer
from Karnataka, specified about the principles of attractive energy in his
books written amidst the twelfth century. There was another Bhaskaracharya,
an extraordinary mathematician and astronomer from Maharashtra, going back to
the seventh century. He is known as Bhaskara I, to keep away from
perplexity between the two Great Gurus and authors of Ancient India. While Bhaskara
I composed Aryabhatiyabhasya in Sanskrit in composition frame, which is the
most established known book on Mathematics and Astronomy and two more books, Bhaskara
II composed Siddhanta Shiromani, a progression of four books on similar
subjects.
The Surya Siddhanta, a treatise in Sanskrit on Astronomy and
Mathematics, was composed as cadenced shloka (verses) amid the late fourth
century. The writer of the book is obscure. History specialists credit the book
to be composed by Aryabhatta, an Ancient Indian mathematician and astronomer.
This book, having 14 parts and 500 shlokas, have been revamped and reexamined
after some time, with a similar title being held. In this book, Aryabhatta
likewise provides some insight about gravity, about a power that holds the
earth in the Universe.
More Clues of information about the power of gravity has been in a
roundabout way depicted in Ancient Indian writings going back to thousand of
years. The Prashnopanishad, which was composed as a discourse between Sage
Pippalada and his six followers, in 6000 BC, discovers specify about the
world’s gravitational power. In a fascinating recess between the Teacher and
the Student about the five components, the Teacher clarifies about earth as one
of the components. As per him, the vitality (of the earth and water) controls
the descending development in our bodies because of the gravitational
Pull of the earth.
Forecasts and computations concerning the nearby planetary group said
in the Surya Siddhanta are logically precise. For instance, the book specifies
the world’s width to be 8,000 miles against the advanced precision of 7,928
miles. Bhaskaracharya (Bhaskara II) added an analysis to this
book under the name of Siddhanta Shiromani in the 11th century. As indicated by
his idea, as said in this book (Lilavati treatise of the book Series), the law
of gravity is specified as:
“The earth has an Attracting force by which, it draws toward itself any
heavy object in the air… this Attractive Power of the earth indicates why
things situated at a lower part, or along the edges, don’t Fall from its
surface.”
We have Read that Newton found the law of Gravitational
energy, after he watched an apple Fall from a tree. The world trusted him. Newton
rediscovered this very idea on a more extensive scale contrasted with Bhaskaracharya
and called it the ‘Law of Gravity‘! Be that as it may, why the entire
credit to Newton?
Do you know, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) propelled Bhaskara
I, India’s first low circle Earth Observation Satellite on 7 June 1979 to pay
tribute to Bhaskara I? ISRO likewise propelled Bhaskara II, a
comparable satellite for gathering information on telemetry, oceanography and
hydrology, on 20 November 1981 out of appreciation for Bhaskaracharya
(Bhaskara II).
Specialists and researchers from old India found a great many ideas
concerning the universe and the close planetary system. This discover say in
the Vedas and in a few books composed by astronomers and mathematicians. The
majority of their counts done at once without the utilization of present day
equipment like telescope, proven to be closely accurate to modern day
calculations.
