See this. The tragic story of Padre Indology of White man taking Hindu texts and interpreting them in the light of his own ideas declaring ancient Hindus a fool and copy cat (everything came from outside) continues.

The interesting point about the use of ecliptic coordinates coordinate system by Indians in ancient times (as claimed in the paper) instead of polar coordinates (as told by Gora master) is the following:

Surya Siddhanta describes its model for precession of equinoxes as follows:

"त्रिंशत्कृत्यो युगे भानां चक्रं प्राक् परिलम्बते।
तद्गुणाभूदिनैर्भक्ताद् द्युगणाद्यदवाप्यते॥
तद्दोस्त्रिघ्ना दशाप्तांशा विज्ञेया अयनाभिधाः।
तत्संस्कृताद्ग्रहात् क्रान्तिच्छायाचरदलादिकम् ॥"

Hamare Saadhu-Mahatma kahate hain agar need na aaye to Vedanta ka koi text padho aur turant need aa jaayegi. 🤣
So here is something very interesting I came across during last night's bedtime reading. It's about Darwinian evolution and the Upanishads (Vedanta).

"Darwin’s theory of evolution is related to Biological evolution from viruses to unicellular to complex life forms ending up with human beings or Homo sapiens.
2/

According to Prof. Julian Huxley, evolution has peaked with the specialization of conceptual thought processes for humans.

Someone asked me why only three Vedas mentioned by Manu here? Why not four? Probably hinting at Padre Indologist claim that original Vedas were only three and not four.

This book was published in 1917. 🤣🤣

"एकादशी सर्वमान्य व्रत है पर इसका अत्याचार दो देशों में अधिक देखा जाता है । एक वङ्ग (बंगाल) में, जहां अदीक्षित बालविधवा भी एकादशी के घोर नियमों से मृतप्राय करडाली जाती हैं। धन्य हैं वङ्गपण्डित महाशय।

प्रवृत्तिरेषां भूतानां निवृत्तिस्तुं महाफला॥"
