In what could be a happy marriage of tradition and modernity — or mythology and technology— scientists are drawing inspiration from the Ramayana, to find a way to make crops drought-resistant. In the Ramayana, Hanuman was asked to look for the Sanjeevani herb that was reputed to have magical curative properties — it was believed to even bring the dead back to life — to treat Lakshman who lay

This paper deals with the word- ' ayas ' used in the Hindu Scriptures. Many Indologists have concluded that it does not mean iron. They believed that iron found its way into India through the Aryan migration after 11th Century BC . Therefore, they concluded that Vedas and other Scriptures could be as recent as 11th Century BC. Furthermore, many think that the description about iron mentioned in

The Artharva-Veda is the "Knowledge of the Fire Priests [atharvans]". An atharvan was a priest who worshipped fire and Soma.[19]The Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā has 760 hymns, and about one-sixth of the hymns are in common with the Rig-Veda.[20] Most of the verses are metrical, but some are in prose.[21]It was compiled around 900 BCE, although some of its material may go back to the time of the Rig Veda,

Once upon a time Yama, the god of death, fell in love with a mortal woman. He disguised himself as a mortal man and won her hand. As she was mortal, he lived with her on earth rather than taking her to his underworld kingdom, Yamapuri. But it was not long before he discovered that the wife he had chosen was shrewish and quarrelsome.She became even worse after she bore him a son. The son was named

Men also wore one long piece of cloth called the dhoti, which was generally white. They wrapped the dhoti (DOE-tee) around their legs to make sort of pants like the working women. Dhotis though were shorter so they didn’t have the part that covered the chest and shoulders. Men also often wore long cotton cloths wrapped around their heads as turbans.

Hinduism holds that once the Universe was more pure and free of sin, and as the Yugas (Time cycles) progress, the condition of the Universe deteriorates more and more, until at the end of the last Yuga- the Kali Yuga (which is linked with disorder) the state of disorder will reach an apex and then God will come and purge the world of all sin and destruction.Almost all the religions throughout the

Today scientists recognize mainly four forms of matter- solid, liquid, gas and plasma (which lies at a sort of transition state between energy and matter and exists in stars, etc). Apart from this, energy is also considered a form of matter (or vice-versa) after Einstein proved energy and matter could be interconverted through the famous formula E=mc2.Hindu texts state that the World is made of

Hindu mythology relates the end of the Krishna Avatar of the God Vishnu and his clan to a curse. It says that according to a curse, the fall of the Yadava clan of Krishna was to be from a particular mace. In order to negate the threat of this curse, the Yadavas powdered this mace and put it into the ocean. This powder was washed ashore where it mingled with the

The ‘Bhaagavata’ describes in detail the Hindu God Vishnu and his ten incarnations. The very beginning of Bhaagavata mentions earth as the ‘BhooGola’- meaning the sphere of earth. The same spherical nature of earth has been mentioned several times throughout the text (especially in the Varaha avatar- boar form).

The ‘Shivpurana’ is a set of texts devoted to the history and description of Shiva - a Hindu God. One of the lines says-“He is Shakthi(meaning energy or power)….

It is said in the beginning that ‘he is
