The Building of the Indian Nation


Preface


It gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction, to write this book in the interest of our nation. This book is dedicated to my Matri-Bhoomee, i.e. my mother land which has given me the pride to be its son. The book is written primarily for the purpose of promoting “Nationalism”, which according to my thinking is the mother of all developmental movements.

The book written specially in precise to reach the masses at reasonable rates is also available in our national language Hindi. It is felt that voluminous books have become the ornament of intellectuals, due to the prevalent busy life style of people. The short book is written for the noble cause of promoting several clauses amongst which nationalism, unity and oneness, secularism, rich cultural and historical heritage of the country hold prime importance, and contains in precise authentic texts, references books,  data’s and incorporates references of Hindu religious books Veda, Mahabharat, Ramayan etc. were-in relevant to the context. The references are also taken by incorporating authentic text from “The Gazetteer of India”, history and culture for making the text most reliable and authentic. The Maps printed and reproduced in the book is taken from the Gazetteer of India, for reliability.
I personally believe that we have done little to promote our rich cultural heritage and history. We have been educated and taught the distorted history, which the British people and other invaders have furnished to us. Most of our ancient Granth’s and Books being produced as of today suffer because of this and for the fact that our text and knowledge in pre-historic times were not written. It was a system of oral tradition by which learning was transmitted from teacher to pupil in an unbroken chain called Guru-Sishya Parampara. This parampara has been followed through centuries and the exact date of composition of these holy Granth’s as Veda, Mahabharata, Ramayana is not clear and may be followed for several millions of years.  Certain errors have crept in our ancient books through ages, due to the faulty erroneous oral transmission of such voluminous books arising out of vested interest and sanctimonious believe in our society, domination of an alien power in our country and certain sanctimonious belief and bad practices. This is why our ancient books like Ramayana, Mahabharata etc. reveal different texts in different regions.

However the texts which do not affect vested interests of certain sections people have remain intact, and are very useful in modern day contest. I am producing some facts which if properly investigated would actually reveal a lot of valuable information’s for us.

Vedanta Jyotisa an astronomic ancillary to the Vedas, described a cycle total of 1830 days as a Yuga of 5 years, against an actual 1826 ¼ prevalent today. This total system was based on Nakshatras. The Nakshatras are the 27 group into which the stars forming the back ground of the moon are divided, one such group being passed by moon is one thithi (lunar date, slightly shorter than a solar date). There is one particular Nakshatras which comes in a Cycle of five years, as is true as of today, but the period of the Nakshatras is being shortened though ages. Current day Astronomers also choose to adjust their clocks by a minute recently, due to the changes in the solar systems. I personally believe that at the time of writing of Veda the original cycle would have been 1830 days for 5 years Cycle.  If we find out the date in the reverse order of adjustments by the minutes the actual date of the composition of our Rig-Veda can be found accurately. An honest research on this subject (after considering, the latest time adjustment therein per Yuga as per Veda), may actually reveal the actual date of composition of Veda, give proof of our ancient civilisation and solve many mysteries of Geography, Astronomy and the formation of this world. We have done little to even find out the basis of our old researches and writings of our most knowledgeable and intelligent Ancestors, and are flowing ourselves in the westernised culture and knowledge without even logically analysing our old texts and its writing.

I will give a brief description of the greatness of the Knowledge given in our Granth’s and literature, as some of which are too big to fit my small mind and knowledge and desires a detail analysis by scientists, Astronomers and Geologists. I believe that the astronomy, space science would gain enormously if our Granth’s are properly analysed and practically applied in modern day science.
  

Surya Siddhantha is the best known book on Hindu astronomy. The original texts were changed two or three times between 500 A.D and 1500 A.D., but are still accurate to enable to predict solar eclipses with an error of two or three hours.

As per description in Surya Purana and other Hindu Granth’s :-  The Kala as: -
 2 Parmanu( Atom) = 1 Annu ( molecule), 2 Annu  = 1 Thrsharenu, 3 Thrsharenu = 1 Truitee, and so on-------------. The system further states that the time taken by Sun in one Raasi (Zodiac sign) is the time of one Solar (Saur Maas ) month. The time taken by sun to travel all the solar months is a solar year. 4320000 solar years makes one Maha Yuga. In one Maha Yuga there are 4 Yugas i.e.: - Satyuga = 1728000 Years Treta = 1296000 years (this is the Yuga in which lord Rama was born and lived ) Dawapar = 864000 years (this is the Yuga in which lord Krishna lived) Kaliyuga = 43200 years (the current Yuga) 71 Mahayuga makes one Mavantar, 1 Mavantar is 30 Crores 67 lakhs and 20 thousand years. After each mavantar there is an Sandhya (evening) of 17 lakhs and 28 thousand years. In the Sandhya the earth starts heating like a boiler and there is heavy rain and flood. This is called pralaya in Indian Astronomy. Like wise various descriptions are given of the periodicity and life of the Universe and the planet earth, which includes the actual time at which this Universe and all its planets and sub-planets will dissolve into Atom, and then again when this solar system is formed. The timings and the periodicity marked therein is so minutely explained and well described that it gives, the indication of truth stated there-in, and desires proper research and evaluation.

 The Granths state as 1 Kalpa = 1000 MahaYuga, and as per the current calculation we have as on 30th of March 1987, spent 1972949088 years from the formation Sristhi of this Kalpa, and the current year is marked as Kaliyuga 5105 years as per our Hindu era. Now let us find out the description evaluation of the periodicity on earth wherein the huge Demons or Asura lived side by side with the men. As per Ramayana the demons were present in that period i.e. the  Treta Yuga, which  as per  current  calculation must have been some Time in Kaliyuga 5105 + DawaparYuga 8,64,000 = 8,69,105 years before but not later than 12,96,000 Treta Yuga + 8,69, 105 years= 2,165,105 years.  

This may be said to be about one million - two million years ago, which is the same period as shown by the Discovery and other  Television channels, by way of researches and evaluation shown in their program on the subject of remains of huge humanoids to the size of Demons. The remains of  which is a mystery and  can be found in America and Central Asia, with big huge structures and its remains, found in archaeological excavation work done there.

Now let us analyse the scientific classification given by zoologists to the human life and its evaluation. As per the scientists it took 4,000,000 years for the Afarensis to develop into Homo Sapiens (Human beings name as per Genus and species marked by zoologists). There is no description of the huge demons and its evolution and role in the evolution of mankind though the skeletons were found, in archaeological excavation in America and Central Asia and desires a proper evaluation and explanation. The current Human evaluation is said to be only 50,000 years old. However the scientists are yet to find the origin of the sapiens species, despite trying their best to find a suitable answer. However it has been clear that they did not arise in Europe.

Much of the things relating to the human evaluation and development is still a mystery and needs much description, research, evaluation and solution. The matter described in our holy Granth’s and Veda may be of immense help to solve the unsolved puzzles and mysteries surrounding our Universe, earth and evolution of mankind, for the researchers, astronomers and scientist.

The Indian Society is currently in a state of turmoil due to its inability to recognise itself, in the fast changing world order. Indian Society has developed many vices and bad practices through ages, owing to the loss of political power and domination of alien powers in our country. The current form of Indian society is due to such transformation and our inability to recognise our true traditions and culture. It needs deep thinking and action from all its citizens, in their quest to rebuild the Indian Nation in the lines on which our knowledgeable ancestors and Saints had built our ancient society and civilisation.

I am of the personal view that, if India is to become a world power, the help of our Holy Granths and ancestors’ research work should be taken into account and further be developed and researched by combining them with the recent scientific research works. We can at least make an honest attempt to study the research works and writing of our ancestors, for evaluating the knowledge, which they wanted to be carried over to the next generations and to further discover our origin and the mystery involved with it. Lastly I regret to state that certain errors and omissions have crept in the book due to my oversight in incorporation and compilation of texts from voluminous reference books. The same is humbly requested be ignored by the learned readers.
