India that is Bhaarat, has remained the quintessential epitome of knowledge, right from the dawn of human civilization. Indians had left no stone unturned as their impeccable intellect forayed into almost all disciplines of knowledge, particular ly, Sciences like Physics, Meteorology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Astronomy, Metallurgy, Nuclear Science, Spiritual Science, etc., where they made an indelible impression by way of their landmark and ground-breaking contributions. Their scientific temper is unquestionable. But, the only thing to be borne while attempting a study of the ancient Sciences is the encryption of scientific facts behind the veil of an aesthetic or devotional narration. It is very astonishing to find the results achieved in those remote times almost perfectly coinciding with the contemporary ones. The value of p, trigonometric functions, Geometrical techniques, etc. leave the modern reader wonder -struck. The progress achieved on the Mathematical frontier by masters like Aapastamba, Baudhayana, Bhaskaracharya, Lalla, Brahma Gupta, Arya Bhatta, Ganesha Daivagnya, etc., is par excellence. Their observations pertaining to Atmospheric Science are marvelous and meritorious. Their thorough and see-through ambit of climatic know-how thousands of years ago has won many an accolade across the globe, in light of the fact that the modern Meteorology had evolved comprehensively only in the 20th century and still some weather phenomena like Rainfall, Tornadoes, the exact net effect of aerosols on temperature, Pollution trends, etc. have remained unraveled enigmatic mysteries till date. A dedicated and a comprehensive study of the Ancient Indian Sciences coupled and amalgamated with Current Sciences is the only plausible, laudable and an applaudable solution.

Abstract


India that is Bhaarat, has remained the quintessential epitome of knowledge, right from the dawn of human civilization. Indians had left no stone unturned as their impeccable intellect forayed into almost all disciplines of knowledge, particular ly, Sciences like Physics, Meteorology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Astronomy, Metallurgy, Nuclear Science, Spiritual Science, etc., where they made an indelible impression by way of their landmark and ground-breaking contributions. Their scientific temper is unquestionable. But, the only thing to be borne while attempting a study of the ancient Sciences is the encryption of scientific facts behind the veil of an aesthetic or devotional narration. It is very astonishing to find the results achieved in those remote times almost perfectly coinciding with the contemporary ones. The value of p, trigonometric functions, Geometrical techniques, etc. leave the modern reader wonder -struck. The progress achieved on the Mathematical frontier by masters like Aapastamba, Baudhayana, Bhaskaracharya, Lalla, Brahma Gupta, Arya Bhatta, Ganesha Daivagnya, etc., is par excellence. Their observations pertaining to Atmospheric Science are marvelous and meritorious. Their thorough and see-through ambit of climatic know-how thousands of years ago has won many an accolade across the globe, in light of the fact that the modern Meteorology had evolved comprehensively only in the 20th century and still some weather phenomena like Rainfall, Tornadoes, the exact net effect of aerosols on temperature, Pollution trends, etc. have remained unraveled enigmatic mysteries till date. A dedicated and a comprehensive study of the Ancient Indian Sciences coupled and amalgamated with Current Sciences is the only plausible, laudable and an applaudable solution.
