Ultra sound
Ian Donald CBE FRFPSGlas FRCOG FRCP (27 December 1910 – 19 June 1987) was an English physician who
pioneered the diagnostic use of ultrasound in obstetrics, enabling the visual discovery of abnormalities during
pregnancy.
X-rays were discovered in 1895 Ultrasound was first used for clinical purposes in
1956 and History of microscope goes to 16th cent. But Sculpture of human
embryo in Kala Bhairava Natha temple in #Tamilnadu tells about our ancient
scientific knowledge of baby and the womb.
Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the
universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between their centers.
The Indian mathematician/astronomer Brahmagupta (c. 598 – c. 668 CE) first described gravity as an attractive
force, using the term "gurutvākarṣaṇam (गुरुत्वाकर्षणम्)" to describe it
Bhāskarāchārya[edit]
Another famous Indian mathematician and astronomer, Bhāskarā II (Bhāskarāchārya, "Bhāskara, the teacher", c.
1114 – c. 1185), describes gravity as an inherent attractive property of Earth in the section Golādhyāyah (On
Spherics) of his treatise Siddhānta Shiromani:
Ambabai Temple (also known as Mahalaxmi Mandir) is an important Hindu temple dedicated to
Goddess Lakshmi, who resides here as Supreme Mother Mahalakshmi and is worshipped by locals as Ambabai.
The temple of the goddess Mahalakshmi was built by Karnadeva in 634 CE Chalukya reign.
But it is the wonder of wise architects who built the temple of Mahalakshmi at
Kolhapur that the rays of the setting Sun, bow at the feet of the Goddess through
a window, for a while before vanishing. It is the architect's excellence, which was
done more than 1000 years ago, and can still be observed.
On January 31 and November 9, sun rays falls directly on
the feet of Goddess Lakshmi murti.
On February 1 and November 10, sun rays falls directly
on the chest of the murti.
On February 2 and November 11, sun rays falls directly
on the face of the murti.
Surya Siddhanta mentions that distance between earth and sun is approximately 108 times the diameter of sun.
Similar calculation exists between earth and moon. This is what modern research tells:
Diameter of Sun: 1.391016 million Km.
Average Distance between Sun and Earth: 149.6 million Km.
Calculation as per Surya Siddhanta: 1.391016 X 108 = 150 Kms.
Diameter of Moon: 3,474 Kms.
Average Distance between Moon and Earth: 384,400 Kms.
Calculation as per Surya Siddhanta: 3473 X 108 = 375,192 Kms.
Further, Atharvaveda divides the ecliptic into 27 houses or mansions, and calls them ‘Nakshatras’. Each of these 27
Nakshatras cover 13°20’ of the ecliptic. Further, each Nakshatra is divided into 4 quarters (padas). 27 X 4 = 108.
Hence, 108 represents the complete ecliptic.
UN, MOON & EARTH RELATIONSHIP The diameter of the Moon: 2160 miles. The
distance between moon and earth: 2160 x 108 = 233,000 miles. This is equal to
108 Moon.
