Vedic Cosmology 4 : Different branches of Vedic Sciences

Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya

It is remarkable that, because of the dedicated efforts of eminent scholars of the modern times, significant research has been carried out, which has helped restoring some pearls of the invaluable treasure of knowledge on the Vedic Philosophy and Sciences, despite enormous loss of the original scriptures and ancient texts that were destroyed in the medieval era. Historical research of the past two or three decades has shown that Mathematical Astronomy, Geometry, Algebra and several other sciences originated in India. Almost every literate man and woman knows that the sign for zero and the modern concept of mathematics was invented in India about several thousands years ago. However, it is much less known that important concepts like that of recursion, algebraic transformation, mathematical logic, abstract language description, binary numbers, combinatory also arose in India thousands of years before their rediscovery in the West. 

The ancient Indian texts are layered in such a fashion that we can see the gradual development of the Philosophical, Mathematical, Physical, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences. Based on the authentic archeological and historical proofs available today. 

1. we find that apart from the science of consciousness and the mystery of Nature, the ancient Indians were greatly interested in mathematical methods and structures in Geometry, Astronomy, Grammar, Music and other fields .

2. They were also interested in cognitive science where they were so advanced that their insights may yet be useful to give innovative directions to the modern science and help unfolding of the secret layers of the Human Mind and sublime Nature.

As the exact period of the Vedas and the origin of Vedic literature have not been deciphered, it is difficult to recognize who pioneered or originally invented the different scientific results and theories? But as per the available studies of the researchers on the earliest records of the ancient Indian sciences, shi Kanadas name is associated with the earliest discoveries of atoms and atomic energy, and that of shi Yajnavalkya with the science of Yajna. He and shi Lagadha of the Vedic Age are also revered to have laid the foundation of Astronomy.

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
