A look Beyond Takshila and Nalanda needed for Reviving Glory of Science and Technology of Ancient Bharat

New Delhi (19/05/2024): Much of the discussion on university education in ancient India has been centred around the glory of Takshila and Nalanda universities. While these were undoubtedly in global prominence in the post Buddhist era, none of them provide even a trace of what the India of ancient truly was in respect of science and technology advancement of the level that even till date remains a mistry to the modern day scientists and technology innovators. Takshila and Nalanda have been undoubtedly great attractions for the scholars from around the world but were in no way the gateways for gauging the eminence in science and technology that great centres of Bharatvarsa of Vedic times had achieved to qualify Bharatvarsha as a Viswa Guru for deep learning and scholarship in pathbreaking science and technology innovations. The wide gap for appreciation of ancient Bharatvarsa’s science and technology prowess became even more pronounced after these centres of learning and scholarship of post Buddhist era got destroyed by foreign invadors and looters for whom learning and scholarships were the arch enemies of their list and greed.

Ramayanik and Mahabharata Era of Advanced Science and Technology of Glorious Ancient Bharat

The glory of scientifically advanced and technologically empowered ancient Bharat would require us to go back as far as the Ramayanik and Mahabharata times to get the glimpses of super-science and mind boggling technology innovations that the centres of education in science and technology, that the universities of ancient Bharat had accomplished then. The ashramas of Viswamitra where Lord Rama along with brother Laxmana was mentored and trained by Maharishi Viswamita in super-science of mind to mind connectivity and it’s application for firing of the lethal missiles like Brahmastra and Agniastras from remote locations by simply recalling in mind the digital codes of these weapons. What more, as mentioned by Goswami Tulsidas in Ramcharitmanas, one fine morning on completion of the internship, Maharishi Viswamita asked Lord Rama to sit infront of him some eighteen inches away and transferred these secret digital codes for firing of lethal weapons using the most advanced communication technology, namely, the mind to mind connectivity similar to modern day blue tooth transmission of data and files from one computer to another. This came handy to Lord Rama during the war with Ravana in firing missiles from remote locations that were devastating to demon king Ravana as described in the narration of the Rama- Ravana war.

Smilarly, the ashramas of Sandeepni in Ujjaini where Lord Krishna studied with Sudama and the Dronacharya Ashram in Gurugram where Pandavas were trained by great guru Dronacharya, were, in fact the great centers of education in advanced science and technology of the order that is yet to be scaled by modern sciences, given great capabilities of scientific research and technology innovations that we have today in the era of AI and Smart and intelligent machines and devices.

Rediculing Indian Science Congress as a Circus was a Grave Mistake of Modern Scientific Community

In a recent article in Nature in May 2024 on Brain Reading device for decoding the internal speech of the brain, “Scientists have developed brain implants that can decode internal speech — identifying words that two people spoke in their minds without moving their lips or making a sound”. It is infact the begining of catching the thoughts and what is in the mind of a person well before these are communicated in the form of speech or other forms of communication. The present Brain Reading device is still not near to what Telepathy, the mind to mind connectivity could do as a super science but a step in the direction of making mind to mind communication possible one day though modern scientific advancements.

Telepathy and other Vedic sciences were rediculed by some, including a Nobel Laureate of Indian origin way back in 2016 when the grand display of vidic sciences including ayurveda and Vedic Mathematics were presented at the Indian Science Congress in 2016. One of the visiting Nobel Laureate of Indian origin then dismissed these Vedic sciences as non-science and even went on to describe the Indian Science Congress as a Circus.

In a subsequent seminar by the same Nobel Laureate in Delhi, the redicule to Vedic sciences was further voiced and India’s love for Vedic sciences was labelled as “Placebo Effect”. I remember questioning the Nobel Laureate by saying that “if the present day science is unable to explain telepathy, it does not mean that telepathy is no-science. May be the current science is not yet advanced enough to replicate the mind to mind connectivity for person to person communication that telepathy provides”. I even mentioned that young innovators at Amity University Gurugram had put together a device using micro pulse sensors and telemetry to transmit without wire brain signals that allowed gestures to be replicated from one person to another without looking at each other. But for those who dismiss the Vedic sciences as no-science, it made great headlines to destroy the credibility of Indian Science Congress that was established by no one less than the greatest of the great scientist of India namely, the Nobel Laureate CV Raman whose love for science for decoding the mistries of nature enabled him to discover ‘Raman Effect’ that till date continues to empower modern scientists with scientific tools and devices to unearth the secret of life and origin of creation.

Viksit Bharat vision requires establishing Viswamitra, Bhardwaj and Sandeepni Ashram Gurukul Universities to revive ancient Glory of Vedic Science and Technology

Now that the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047 is being translated into a reality, the time is right to revive the great centres of learning and scholarships like Viswamitra Ashram (University) in Tapovan near Ayodhya, Bhardwaj Ashram (University) in Chitrakoot, Sandeepni Ashram (University) in Ujjain and Dronacharya Ashram (University) in Gurugram to revive the glory and eminence of ancient Bharat, that then was in true sense the brightest lighthouse of knowledge and enriched wisdom for the global humanity.

The Government of New Bharat is well advised to draw a blue print of action to go beyond Takshila and Nalanda to Ramayanik and Mahabharata times to revive the list glory of Vedic science and technology and lead the world community in path breaking Science and Game Changing Technologies so vital to realise the Viksit Bharat vision.
