WHY WEST PROGRESSED
Simple, They followed Vedas

SOME MYTHS ON VEDIC SCIENCE
There was a Vedic period.
REALITY: All periods are Vedic periods
Once upon a time we had great advancements in science.
REALITY: There have always been ups and downs. So real wisdom demands breaking myth of Golden era.
Mahabharat era had very advanced technology for missiles etc.
REALITY: But they had very disgusting social technologies causing downfall of nation.
Today, we have lost the Vedic edge
REALITY: Today is the best possible model of Vedic world in documented history.
Vedas <=> Indian culture
REALITY: Vedas are for entire humanity, and not only India. Anyone seeking truth genuinely is Vedic.
20Agniveer http://agniveer.com
METHODS OF VEDIC SCIENCE
Look for knowledge within and not through external translation of Mantras
Use Mantras to sharpen your mind, enhance thinking process and discover deep essence.
Know the purpose of enquiry. Know why you exist. Know your goal. And know how truth brings you closer to your goal.
21Agniveer http://agniveer.com
CAUTIONS IN VEDIC SCIENCE
Do not try to deliberately twist mantras to suit modern scientific frameworks.
Example: Satva/ Raja/ Tama - Electron, Proton, Neutron
Example: Atom = Paramanu
Practical Science cannot be discovered without experiments
Be unbiased. Do not assume anything - even that Vedas are best. Let that be a conclusion.
Never fight on definitions. Analyze relationships between definitions.
22Agniveer http://agniveer.com
DO NOT BE TOO SCIENTIFIC!
Know the purpose
Know that everything cannot be measurable by available methods
Know that final truth can be known only by omniscient
Know that Vedic physical world includes tangible world PLUS emotions PLUS all feelings. So seek more generic laws.
Hence the VEDAS!

DO YOU KNOW?
Newton was a firm believer in God?
The definition of God from Einstein almost matches what Swami Dayanand wrote in Satyarth Prakash!
