It is believed that the Jeeva Samadhi of Patanjali is situated at Tirupattur Brahmapureswara Temple. Even the classical dancers in India summons him and pays him their regards. It is believed that he is an essayist who had written upon the ancient Indian medicine system i.e. He also wrote a work on medicine and worked on Panini’s grammar known as Mahabhasaya.ĭo you know that Patanjali is an avatar of Adi Shesha- the Infinite Cosmic Serpent upon whom Lord Vishnu rests? In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Aum is spoken as a symbol of God. ![]() ![]() He was the first who had systematically present Yoga the great science. He is known as Father of Yoga who had compiled 195 Yoga Sutras. He also knew the fundamentals of genetics.ĭon’t you find it fascinating that thousands of years back, medical science was at such an advanced stage in India? 5. He was the first person who talked about the digestion, metabolism and immunity. His remarkable book on medicine is Charak Samhita in which he had given variousdescription of diseases and gives methods of identifying their causes as well as method of their treatment. In the court of Kanishka he was the Raj Vaidya (royal doctor). Source: - He is known as Father of ancient Indian Science of Medicine. He used it to calculate binomial coefficients.ĭo you know that he had predicted the discovery of water in Mars around 1500 years ago? Moreover, he was the first mathematician to discover a version of what is now known as the Pascal’s triangle. His mathematical work included the discovery of trigonometric formulas. He also proposed that the Moon and planets are lustrous not because of their own light but due to sunlight. In the history of science he was the first to claim that some “force” might be keeping bodies stuck to the round earth. And now it is known as gravity. Even the predictions of Varahamihira’s were so accurate that king Vikramaditya gave him the title ‘Varaha’. Vrahamihira was one of the nine gems, who were scholars in the court of Vikramaditya.

First scientist to claim that termites and plants could be the indicators of the presence of underground water. Source:- He had made great contributions in the fields of hydrology, geology, maths and ecology. Mahaviracharya was 8th century Indian mathematician (Jain) from Gulbarga who asserted that the square root of a negative number did not exist. In a very interesting manner they have also described fractions, algebraic equations, series, set theory, logarithms and exponents. Jain gurus knew how to solve quadratic equations. Isn’t it amazing that there is an elaborate description of mathematics in Jain literature (500 B.C – 100 B.C). So, now we come to know that why the first satellite that was sent into the orbit by India has been named after Aryabhatta. Scientific explanation of solar and lunar eclipse was also explained by him. Like when a person travels in a boat, the trees on the shore appear to move in the opposite direction. He also explained that the appearance of the sun moving from east to west is false by giving examples. immovable Aryabhatta stated its theory that ‘earth is round and rotates on its axis’. He also disregarded the popular view that our planet earth is ‘Achala’ i.e. Khagol was the famous astronomical observatory at Nalanda, where Aryabhatta studied. As we all know that in ancient India, the science of astronomy was well advanced. Also, Aryabhatta contributed greatly to the field of science particularly Astronomy and so known as Father of Astronomy. And zero discoveries opened a new dimension of negative numerals. Infact the discovery of zero enabled Aryabhatta to find out the exact distance between the earth and the moon. He showed that zero was not a numeral only but also a symbol and a concept. First time he had calculated the value of pi at 3.1416.
