There have been many assumptions and claims on the relation between Indian mythology and modern science . The stories that we all have been reading and hearing about since many years has facts and hints about the people having access to the modern technology which we are still exploring currently .For years, debates have raged over the perceived relationship between these two domains, with many asserting that the stories passed down through generations hold within them echoes of scientific truths waiting to be unveild

Today, we stand at the cliff of a paradigm shift, where mythology is no longer dismissed as mere legend, but rather recognized as a repository of scientific insight. Consider the monumental temples that dot the Indian landscape, their intricate architecture standing as a proof to the advanced engineering prowess of ancient civilizations. These marvels, constructed centuries ago, bear witness to a profound understanding of mathematics, geometry, and structural mechanics, hinting at a level of technological sophistication far beyond what was previously believed possible.

And then there are the predictions made in ancient texts about natural disasters. How could they have known about these events without understanding the movements of celestial objects? It suggests a deeper understanding of astronomy than we might have realized.

Let’s take a closer look at the sun and moon, two celestial bodies central to Indian mythology, mirrors our modern scientific understanding of solar dynamics and lunar phases. Take, for instance, the depiction of the sun god “Surya,” whose chariot drawn by seven horses symbolizes the energy chakras within the human body, an metaphor that resonates with our contemporary understanding of solar energy sustaining life on Earth through nuclear fusion.

Similarly, the portrayal of the moon in Hindu mythology as the celestial deity “Chandra” aligns seamlessly with modern scientific observations of lunar phases and phenomena. The waxing and waning of the moon, described in mythological narratives, find validation in the cyclic changes observed in the moon’s appearance due to its orbit around the Earth.

As we dive deeper into the connections between Indian mythology and science, we discover that they’re not so different after all. Both offer ways to understand the world, just from different perspectives. In the forthcoming series of blogs, we will delve deeper into various aspects of this relationship, unraveling the mysteries and unveiling the truths hidden within the rich tapestry of Indian mythology. So, stay tuned as we journey through the fascinating intersection of myth and science, unraveling the secrets of the cosmos.
