The ancient Indian Civilization was very advanced and scientific in development. The marvel of the scientific progress of those times is gradually revealing itself. Scriptures such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Shastras, Agamas, Tantras and Samhitas are considered treasure troves that bear testimony to the secrets and mysteries of the scientific theories and developments of those glorious times. These keep popping up as sparks, every now and then.

Today, after several thousand years that these scriptures were written, man has learnt to split the atoms, journey into space, and understand the cosmos and the planetary movements and their significance. He is now trying to explore the hidden secrets of the human anatomy and physiology. These, and many other gems of knowledge, already exist in these scriptures. Studying them and deciphering the content would help us advance further and in the right direction. What is being done at present, may be, is just re-inventing the wheel. The world is probably going through the act of rediscovering all that had already been done during the times of Vedic Seers!

Some believe that Vedas are just a fig of creative imagination. Many, however, do believe that they have a scientific basis. The Nobel Laureate, Mr Schrodinger, stated that he was inspired by the study of Upanishads and was guided in his quest by the theories mentioned therein. Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose attributes his thesis on plants as living things to the study of Vedas. There are many such instances that can be mentioned. The fact is that, we already possess a bounty of knowledge, a treasure trove of scientific excellence, unaware, and without a care. Time is running out. It is time to unveil the secrets, unravel the mystery and enjoy the fruits of scientific wonders, to benefit the entire Human race.
