*Scientific refferences in Mahabharata - Part - 2*

🌺 *Eclipse and Micro Organisms* 🌺

🚩 यथा *चन्द्रार्कसंयुक्तं* तमस्तदुपलभ्यते |
तद्वच्छरीरसंयुक्तः शरीरीत्युपलभ्यते ||२१||🚩

Just as during a solar eclipse ( *चन्द्रार्कसंयुक्तं* ) the shadow of the moon falls on the earth so the sun appears obscured.  Similarly, the soul pervades the entire body.

*Solar eclipse is very clearly mentioned in this.* It is not left out just by mentioning that it happens.  An explanation is also given that eclipses are caused by the play of shadows of Sun-Moon-Earth.  Western scientists such as Herodotus have been credited with observing solar eclipses.  Their time is back as far as 500 BC years.  But Mahabharata whose time is approx.  more than 5000 years BC and its name does not appear anywhere.  The Ramayana which took place before the Mahabharata, (Treta Yuga) which dates to approximately more than 12000 BC years also mentions solar eclipses.  So even now it is necessary to come out of the mentality of slavery and present the real truth to the world.

🚩यथा *हिमवतः पार्श्वे पृष्ठं चन्द्रमसो* तथा |
न दृष्टपूर्वं मनुजैर्न च तन्नास्ति तावता ||🚩

*Man does not see the other side of the Himalayas and the other surface of the moon, but this does not mean that the Himalayas do not have a side and the moon does not have a surface.* Thus the soul exists even though it is not visible to the eyes.

Since the time taken by the Moon to revolve around itself is the same as the time it takes to revolve around the Earth, one side of the Moon is always facing the Earth.  *Modern science states that only 59% of the Moon is visible from Earth* (the Earth-facing portion) due to certain viewing angles from Earth.  The other part (Non Earth-facing) cannot be seen from Earth.  Now see that *the same principle stated by modern science is stated by Maharishi Vyasa in Mahabharata.* He did not say only what % of the part is visible from earth.  *We should bow down at the feet of the Vedavyas Rishis who wrote such accurate information related to modern science.*

*Microorganisms* are mentioned in Mahabharata Shanti Parva chapter 15 verse 26.

🚩 *सूक्ष्मयोनीनि* भूतानि तर्कगम्यानि कानिचित् |
पक्ष्मणोSपि निपातेन येषां स्यात् स्कन्धपर्ययः ||२६ || 🚩

Let us see the meaning of the above verse.

There are *many microbes* that can be known by guesswork.  *The microorganisms are destroyed and re-created only when the human eyelids are not rubbed.*

Microorganisms are organisms that cannot be seen by the naked eye.  They can only and only be studied *with a microscope*.  Modern science says that their *life span is very short i.e. only a few moments or minutes*.  The life of the *corona virus* that the whole world has experienced recently is only a few seconds.  That is, Maharshi Vyas has discussed the life span of microorganisms in Mahabharata.  This study can be done with the help of modern equipment.  The Mahabharata has given the same information that today's science has given about microcosms.  How could Vyasa Maharshi have described so accurately if we consider that there was no microscope at that time?  *There is information about how binoculars are made in this book Shilpbhrigusamhita.* If there was information about how binoculars were made at that time, it seems that there should be information about the microscope.  *Vyasa has also touched on the subject like micro-organisms* that is why it is called *Vyasochishtha Jagatsarvam ( व्यासोच्छिष्टं जगत्सर्वम् )* It means Sage Vyasa has touched all subject in the human life and in the world.
Let's stop here today, let's read more information in the next part.  Until then, Jayatu Veda Vigyannam

In short, our *Vedic culture had many repositories of knowledge.  But the Macaulay style of education made all this information obsolete and stamped Indians as backward.* Our tragedy is that we are forgetting our original culture, its scientific context, history and our universal Sanskrit language while promoting English education.  *We will see more scientific references in the next article.*

*In the discourses of the Mahabharata only the story of Kaurava's and Pandav's is told.  It is our tragedy that the scientific references in Mahabharata do not come to light*
