The Measurement of Time or Time Scale*
In Surya Siddhanta, Bhaskaracharya calculated the time
taken by the
Earth to revolve around the Sun up to the 9th decimal
place.
According to Bhaskaracharya's calculation it is
365.258756484 days.
Modern scientist accepted a value of the same time as
365.2596 days.
The difference between the two observations made by
ancient Hindu
sage Bhaskaracharya just by using his super brain (in
the 4th
century AD) and today's NASA (National Aeronautic and
Space Agency)
scientists of America by using super computer (in the
20th century
AD) is only 0.00085, i.e., 0.0002 per cent of
difference.
The ancient Bharatbhoomi had given the world the idea
of the
smallest and largest measuring units of Time. In
modern time, only
Stephen Hockings, Cambridge University Professor of
theoretical
physics, had the courage to venture into the abysmal
depth of the
eternity of Time. Astonishingly, our ancient sages
taught us the
following units of time:
Krati =34,000th of a second
Truti =300th of a second
2 Truti =1 Luv
2 Luv = 1 Kshana
30 Kshana =1 Vipal
60 Vipal = 1 Pal
60 Pal = 1 Ghadi (=24 Minutes)
2.5 Ghadi = 1 Hora (=1 Hour)
24 Hora = 1 Divas (1 Day)
7 Divas = 1 Saptah (1 Week)
4 Saptah = 1 Maas (1 Month)
2 Maas = 1 Ritu (1 Season)
6 Ritu = 1 Varsha (1 Year)
100 Varsha = 1 Satabda (1 Century)
10 Shatabda = 1 Saharabda
432 Saharabda = 1Yug(Kali Yuga))
2 Yuga = 1 Dwapar Yuga
3 Yuga = 1 Treta Yuga
4 Yuga = Kruta Yuga
10 Yuga = 1 Maha Yuga (4,320,000)
1000 Maha Yuga = 1 Kalpa
1 Kalpa = 4.32 Billion Years.
Therefore, the lowest was 34,000th of a second known
as krati and
the highest of the measurement of the Time was known
as kalpa, which
equalled to 4.32 billion years. Is it not amazing? Are
you not
feeling proud to be a Hindu descendent? Swami
Vivekananda, the
modern sage of Bharat, stated in his famous sermons
compiled in his
Rousing Call to the Hindu Nation, "Take pride in
Hinduism; pronounce
yourselves as a descendant of a Hindu. Boast to be a
Hindu and give
a clarion call to rouse the Hindu nation from its
lethargy and
slumber."

The Invention of Decimal System*
It was the ancient Bharatbhoomi that gave us the
ingenious methods
of expressing all the numbers by means of 10 symbols
(decimal
systems)�an invaluable and gorgeous idea that
escaped the genius of
Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest Greek
philosophers
and mathematician produced by antiquity (100-130BC).
The highest prefix used for raising 10 to the power in
today's
mathematics is "D" for 10 raised 30 (for Greek
Deca).While as early as 100
BC Hindu mathematicians had exact names for figures up
to 10 raised to 53.
a. Ekam = 1
b. Dashkam = 10 (10 raised to 1)
c. 1 Shatam = 100 (10 raised to 2)
d. 10 Shatam = 1 Shahashram = 1000 (10 raised to 3)
e. 10 Dash Shahashram = 10,000 (10 raised to 4)
f. Laksha = 100,000 (10 raised to 5)
g. Dash Laksha = 10,00,000 (10 raised to 6)
h. Kotihi = 10, 00, 0000 (10 raised to 7)
i. Ayutam = 100,000,000 (10 raised to 9)
j. Niyutam = 100,000,000,000 (10 raised to 11)
k. Kankaram = 10,000,000,000,000 (10 raised to 13)
l. Vivaram = 10,000,000,000,000,000 (10 raised to 16)
m. Pararadahaa = 10 raised to 17
n. Nivahata = 10 raised to 19
o. Utsangaha = 10 raised to 21
p. Bahulam = 10 raised to 23
q. Naagbaalaha = 10 raised to 25
r. Titlambam = 10 raised to 27
s. Vyavasthaanapragnaptihi = 10 raised to 29
t. Hetuhellam = 10 raised to 31
u. Karahuhu = 10 raised to 33
v. Hetvindreeyam = 10 raised to 35
w. Sampaata Lambhaha = 10 raised to 37
x. Gananaagatihi = 10 raised to 39
y. Niravadyam = 10 raised to 41
z. Mudraabalam = 10 raised to 43
aa. Saraabalam = 10 raised to 45
ab. Vishamagnagatihi = 10 raised to 47
ac. Sarvagnaha = 10 raised to 49
ad. Vibhutangaama = 10 raised to 51
ae. Tallakshanaam = 10 raised to 53
Is it not amazing to know that the ancient Hindu sages
used to
remember them just by using their outstanding memory
power or was
there some super computer known to them also, which we
are quite
unaware of?
In Anuyogadwar Sutra, written 100 BC, one numeral had
been shown to
be raised to as high as 10 raised to 140 which is
beyond our outmost stretches
of imagination. All of our remaining hidden treasures,
which had not
been destroyed or stolen by the foreign mercenaries
and invaders,
were written in Sanskrit, mother of all languages,
which should be
revived. It is our legacy to inherit such rich
property that our
forefather had left for us by their meticulous
observations over
thousands of years ago.
