What is known as "Pythagorean theorem today is already found in Baudhayan sutras, which was written several years before the age of Pythagoras. The above list is just the tip of an iceberg. Let us take pride in sharing and educating the world what our ancestors did. Yet our ancestors bowed down to the world with their Humble "Namaskar" 🙏❤

    The cataract surgery explained by Sushruta in ayurveda grantha is exactly the what performed today by allopathy eye doctors ! It’s incredible. I am ayurvedic doctor and while studying Grantha we were astonished when we read the procedure written in ayurveda grantha . It was such an advanced science those days that whole world stole it from us and we were told that you Indian ayurvedic are Zolachhap doctors and western allopath is the only scientific branch of medicine ! What an Irony ! Even our Indian allopathy doctors disgrace ayurved shastra and call it as pseudoscience !

    We are the oldest civilization. We are the most evolved civilization. We are the strongest civilization. We are the greatest civilization. All civilizations came and vanished. We are still here. Not only holding our roots strongly but also flourishing and prospering. Let's reinforce our civilization with Hindu Rashtra and then Akhand Bharat. The pursuit is on. जय हिंदू राष्ट्र 🙏 जय अखंड भारत 🚩 जय सनातन पृथ्वी ❤ This comment is not a self-praise but it is about self-realization 🙏

    How was Nalanda University: The center had eight separate compounds, 10 temples, meditation halls, classrooms, lakes and parks. It had a nine-storey library where monks meticulously copied books and documents so that individual scholars could have their own collections. It had dormitories for students, perhaps a first for an educational institution, housing 10,000 students in the university’s heyday and providing accommodations for 2,000 professors. Nalanda University attracted pupils and scholars from Korea, Japan, China, Tibet, Indonesia, Persia and Turkey.

    ...other civilizations came and went But us... We.... Still Standing
  • @babusastry
    I still, being 80, an old Indian engineer of Mumbayee, feel the real loss is that in our childhood from 0 t0 6 we are not taught the SCIENTIFIC WAY of being curious and investigate eveything with the fundamentals of science. Other learning can be aquired in historical perspective later. What I mean is we need our Indian Newtons, Einsteins, J C Maxwells, Max planks etc. Just becoming very smart CEO'S to me is not satisfactory.

    The word "caste" came from Portuguese word "CASTA" which means race or lineage. That word came from Latin word "CASTUS" which means Pure or Unmixed. Portuguese employed casta in Bharat to divide and rule and कनवर्ट

    How was Nalanda Destroyed: Nalanda was ransacked and destroyed by Turkish MoosIim invaders, also called MamIuks, under Bakhtiyar KhiIji in 1193 AD. The great library of Nalanda University was so vast that it is reported to have housed more than 9 million manuscripts.  According to traditional Tibetan sources, the library at Nalanda University was spread over three large multi-storeyed buildings. One of these buildings had nine storeys that housed the most sacred manuscripts.  The library burned for three months after the invaders set fire to the buildings.  The Muslim invaders ransacked and destroyed the monasteries and drove the monks from the site.

    Religion ≠ Dharma Caste ≠ Varna Secular ≠ DharmaNirpeksh God ≠ Parmatama god/goddess ≠ Devi-Devta idol ≠ Vigraha Worship ≠ Puja
  • @mandakranta007
    Temple donations should go to gurukul education rather than full govt coffers or diverted to appeasement of other religions!!!
