COINS OF MARATHAS The term Gadyana has been used to represent a gold coin of 48 rattis or approximately5.2 gms in a famous book Lilawati, written by bhaskaracharya. http://www.med.unc.edu/~nupam/maratha1.html
Extractions: COINS OF MARATHAS The Marathas were the single most formadible Hindu power who made a successful attempt for supremacy of whole of Indian subcontinent on decline of Mughals in seventeenth century. The origin of Marathas can be traced back to reign of Emperor Ashok who ruled in 2nd century BC. It is inscribed in rock eddicts that he sent his missionaries to the Rashtrikas, the dwellers of Dandaka forest. These fierce independent minded people called themselves Maha-rashtrikas ( Maha means great). In course of time the country that they occupied came to know as Maharashtra ( Maha means great, rashtra means country) and its people called themselves Marathas/Maharashtrians. It's not very appropriate to catagorise following dynasties into Marathas and some historian might object my classfication. But for sake of simplicity, all the following dynsties which ruled Maharashtra and other neighbouring southern states of modern India have been categorised as dynasties of Maharashtra (after all, the states have been formed less than 50 years back while these dynasties ruled 1000 years back). The Early Chalukyas of Vatapi or Eastern Chalukyas The first ancient dynasty of Maharashtra was Satavahanas,

Tell me when this page is updated SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY Pages from the history of the Indian sub-continent: Science and Technology in India History of the Physical Sciences in India In all early civilizations, the study of the physical sciences was neither formalized nor separated from other branches of knowledge. And at least initially, there were few conscious attempts to study the theory of science independently of the practical innovations and technologies that required some application of scientific principles. In most cases, technological discoveries took place without any knowledge of the underlying scientific principles, through hit and trial, and by experience. Sometimes there was a vague or approximate awareness of the science, but the predominant focus remained on the utilitarian aspects of the technique, on practical efficacy, as opposed to how and why something worked or didn't work. In India, the earliest applications of chemistry took place in the context of medicine, metallurgy, construction technology (such as manufacture of cement and paints) and in textile production and dyeing. But in the process of understanding chemical processes, there also emerged a concomitant interest in attempting to describe the basic elements of matter - what they were composed of, and how they interacted with each other to produce new substances. Natural phenomenon were studied in the context of tides, rainfall, appearance of the sun, the moon and stellar formations, changes in season, weather patterns and agriculture.

Extractions: World over renewed interests are observed on ancient Indian scientific and spiritual knowledge. Series of research activities are undertaken by Universities and research institutions in many countries. True search of good, adoptable and useful scientific observations on Indian approaches on all aspects of life are being conducted by scholars. Results of these studies are astounding. Yoga has found a respectable place in the medical curriculum and medical books published even from America. Quantum holistic healing is finding its benefit for many diseases. Vedic mathematics is getting into the school and college syllabus in many countries of Europe and UK. Medicinal plants and Indian alternatives for eco-friendly pesticides are going into large scale production and utilization in developed countries. Vegetarianism is becoming a precious life style. Meditation goes into stress relief in homes and production centres. The crude tribal medicines go for curing even complicated health problems. Effect of mantras are being studies under a new brand name 'psycholingustic effects'. Curative property of turmeric and pesticidal activity of neem are hot subjects in patenting and so on, many are in the list .. To conclude the advantages and usefulness of ancient Indian knowledge, it may be better

(Albert Einstein) India have invented the number we call "Zero." If the Zero did not exist,there would be no computers and number system. Counting would also be clumsy and hard. For example, if Romans would want to write down the distance between the Earth and the sun, they would write M zillions of time. But in the Indian system it would be written as 93,000,000 miles. ASTRONOMY Indian astronomers had been studding and mapping parts of the sky for about 3,500 years. 1000 YEARS BEFORE COPERNICUS 1000 years before Copernicus published his findings of the Earth, Aryabhatta, during the 5th century said his theory about the Earth in his own words, "Just as a person traveling in a boat feels that the trees on the bank are moving, people on Earth feel that the Sun is moving." (Aryabhatta) On his speech, Aryabhatta said that the Earth orbits the Sun and most importantly said that the earth is round. (Romans thought that the Earth was flat and that if they kept sailing they would fall off the Earth). Then Aryabhatta added information about the lunar rays and solar rays that changes the temperature of the Earth.

The lads have not only made their country proud by fetching a rich haul of medals in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) over the years, but they are the distinguished alumni of the Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana the premier institute which has placed Pune on the international mathematical map. This year, Indian students won three gold and three silver medals at the 39th IMO at Taipei in Taiwan. Chetan Balwe from Pune struck gold in the olympiad, where on the basis of the aggregate scores of all the contestants, the Indian team was placed seventh in the world. The IMO is a unique competition to discover, challenge and encourage mathematically gifted young students all over the world. While the IMO was started in 1959 in Romania, the Indian participation was sponsored by the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) of the department of atomic energy and the Human Resource Development Ministry from 1985. It took nearly four years to initially prepare teachers before the first Indian team (which included Pune's Unmesh Kulkarni) secured four bronze medals in 1989. Renowned mathematician Shriram Abhyankar, who set up the Bhasakaracharya Pratishthana way back in 1984 to develop it as a centre for advanced mathematical research, soon found that paucity of funds was affecting the project. While the initial orientation lectures were held at the Fergusson College since 1985, it was in 1992 that the Pratishthana took over as the regional centre for states of Maharashtra and Goa for scouting talent and promoting mathematical olympiad activity.

Extractions: I popoli delle tante nazioni qui rappresentate sono legati da unamicizia grande e incoraggiante. Al grande matematico indiano Bhaskaracharya, che visse circa 11 secoli fa, va il merito della scoperta del principio del calcolo differenziale. LAstronomia Un Maha Yuga, che consiste di un Krita, un Treta, un Dwapara e un Kali Yuga o epoca, si estenderebbe a quattro milioni e trecento venti mila anni, durante i quali i pianeti completano un numero definito di rivoluzioni nel cielo e ritornano alle loro posizioni iniziali a loro relative - la fine del Revati (Zeta Piscium) e linizio di Aswini. La teoria degli Yuga ha ormai superato lo stadio del ridicolo e ha raggiunto lo status di teoria di tutto rispetto. Si dice che i Veda siano Apourusheya o rivelati senza unorigine umana. Infatti gli studiosi fanno risalire il Vedanga Jyotisha al 5000 a.C. Vyasa, quando incontra il Re Dhritarashtra prima della guerra, parla delle incombenti due settimane di 13 giorni come insolite e indicative di grandi stragi. Due eclissi che cadono durante due settimane di 13 giorni, sono temute come portatrici di presagi infausti.

Extractions: Matrimonial Why Science Declined In Ancient India? Dr. K. Jamanadas, A learned medical specialist from Nagpur, in a recent article in lay press, while describing ancient medical sciences in India, has remarked that fall of science of surgery was because of 'ahimsa' taught by the Buddha. Though the remark was as an orbus dictum, it shows not only his ignorance of Indian history and of Buddhism, but also desire for making false charges on Buddhism due to, may be, his contempt for the Buddhists. The surgery was never considered 'himsa' by the Buddhists, nor for that matter by anybody. Certainly fall of sciences was not because of 'ahimsa' of the Buddha. Modern science is undoubtedly a contribution of the west. That way, in all societies, there were attempts of obstruction to progress of science. In India they got more success. There was a time in Indian history when Indian science was not only famous in the country, but it was so all over the world. If the progress of Indian science would have been maintained unhindered after the sixth century A.D., we Indians, today, would have been foremost in the scientific field. Golden era of Science in India From the ruins of Harappa and Mohenjodaro, it is clear that there existed a pre Aryan urban civilization of Dravidians, which went by the name of Nagas. It shows great development of town planning, water supply and urban facilities, sanitary drainage and granaries.

Extractions: INDIA THE LAND OF ORIGIN OF KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE Just as seed is needed to grow a tree, past civilisation and culture is needed by every country and society, for we make progress by learning from past events and traditions. To study only history is to dig the rotten carcass. Truly, history is that which describes the biography of great people and provides inspiration. We study history for studying the lives of the great people, following the ideals of whom we can make our country the world leader. India was once a world leader because every branch of modern science existed here. There are 72 kinds of skills of art, out of which two are most note-worthy. First is livelihood, which includes business, craft, art, literature, history and Puranas (religious history). Second is salvation of being! I shall briefly describe here how India possessed all spiritual and material knowledge under these 72 skills. First of all I would like to state that just as all suns, moons, planets, stars and universe are located in the sky similarly the entire knowledge and science have originated from omnicients.
