Ancient Updates To Surya Siddhanta | Nilesh Oak |Indian Astronomy |#SangamTalks | Archaeo-Astronomy

Surya Siddhanta, arguably the most ancient book on Indian astronomy, is a highly advanced and accurate treatise in Hindu astronomy that is widely respected all over the world for its highly developed scientific and astronomical concepts regarding the cosmos. As per Hindu tradition, the Sun God, Surya is said to have given this sophisticated and precise knowledge to Maya, the Asura.

Traditional Hindus believe Surya Siddhanta to be thousands of years old. However, when the West became aware of Surya Siddhanta around the 18th century CE, they set about translating the text hurriedly and arrived at a date for its origin around 500 CE. They positioned the Surya Siddhanta as a 1500-year-old text, basing their calculations on their own biased assumptions for the beginning of the Universe and their conception of the antiquity of Indian civilization.

In this Talk, acclaimed author and researcher Nilesh Nilkanth Oak points to the fradulent attempts, multiple of them, of the West in dating the Surya Siddhanta and presents his original research along with his teammate Rupa Bhaty, to arrive at a more authentic date for the ancient treatise. Inspired by the 600 astronomical references he found during his research on the dating of the Ramayana, Nilesh Oak undertook to delve deeper into the Surya Siddhanta. He and Rupa Bhaty embarked on the research and turned to the text of Surya Siddhanta itself for clues. They found astonishing references that led them to do the calculations and simulations with modern astronomical data and to then draw their inferences as to when a particular update might have happened in the Surya Siddhanta.

Employing tools of scientific precision, logic and a keen sense of intuitive observation, Nilesh Oak & Rupa Bhaty have carried out meticulous research into specific archaeo-astronomical data points found within the 12th chapter of Surya Siddhanta. And they have arrived at a date of considerable antiquity for the particular update of Surya Siddhanta that conforms to multiple indicators like the presence of two Pole stars, a 24-degree obliquity of the Earth and specific corresponding of the Earth’s apsidal positions with respect to Indian seasons of Grishma and Hemanta.

Do watch this fascinating talk to be educated not only on the antiquity of the Surya Siddhanta, but also on the antiquity and continuity of the flourishing Indian civilization, bustling with creativity, scientific activity and innovation at its peak.

About The Speaker:
Nilesh Nilkanth Oak, is the author of "When did the Mahabharata War Happen?", "The Mystery of Arundhati", where he freshly evaluated astronomy observations of Mahabharata text. His work led to validation of 5561 BCE as the year of Mahabharata War while falsifying more than 120 alternate claims. The book was nominated for the Lakatos award; the award is given annually by London School of Economics for a contribution to the philosophy of science. In this second book- "The Historic Rama", he decisively falsifies timelines proposed by Dr. P V Vartak (7300 BCE), Shri Pushkar Bhatnagar (5200 BCE), SRS ( 10000 BCE) and M R Yardi ( 1500 BCE) Nilesh researches in astronomy, archeology, anthropology, quantum mechanics, economics, ancient narratives and philosophy.

Indian culture is fascinating to me. I get pretty worked up over anyone destroying or rewriting any places history. All histories deserve to be remembered.

[markh.williamsauthor]

All of humanity needs to respect the ancient knowledge in these texts.

[DerekFrazier]

From Praveen Mohan to Graham Hancock and what I have learned on Youtube I know you are speaking facts...We are much much older then we are taught. Great presentation.

[AshokJayanthi]

We hindus should read, listen and spread the good word of our civilization

[brwoodlands]

Just wonderful. I am ashamed that I never heard of Surya Sidhhanta🙁

[ramanankannan]

We must stop seeing Europeans with admiration and inspiration, and respect our ancestors.

[aham]

Students if you are studying western astronomy give more importance on Indian astronomy. It can solve many complex calculation. Take this as secret tip to success.

[JuanSerradelaFuente]

Finally a non western side of history. Great job.

[likklej]

I’m glad that India is getting in touch with its roots, science and spirit rather than science as a dogma. Great paradigm change thanks

[RexWaldron]

The writer Graham Hancock describes western conventional thinking as a "culture with amnesia" that has forgotten a high state of civilisation going way further back than current accepted wisdom. Back beyond the end of the last ice age. And here, in ancient Indian texts is evidence that advanced astronomy was practiced in India over 14, 000 years ago. How many more revelations are there in these ancient texts, reuniting us with knowledge that was previously shared?

[mathewsthomas]

It's really sad that we lost most of the science of Vedas. Really appreciate the effort being put by people to bring back the science of Vedas. Knowledge is light and it's time to bring out the hidden light of Vedic science infront of the world. We need to rebuild our countries scientific acumen and there is no Better place than Vedic Hindu texts.

[prashantsharma]

I hope Indian kids read this in their textbooks, we need to hold on to our roots

[thanuradineshwanigasekara]

I have an English copy of Suryasiddhatha. It is completed yet I love to go through that. Thank you sir, I am a Sri Lankan, for the first time I heard that Suryasiddhatha was written by lord Maya. Still, we Sri Lankan, pay homage to loard Maya before starting any construction works or any technical stuff. You won't belive that there are Doctors and Professor who meditate on lord Maya. I know one electronic engineering who meditate on lord Maya in the morning and evening. He said me that he has seen lord Maya. Prof. Mirando Obesekara is a one who seriously belive in loard Maya.

[sumitbaroda]

Our civilization is going in such continuity... It is mind blowing🤯. We always knew in our hearts that our civilization cannot be just 5000 yr old.

[gauravmv]

I am at a loss of words on how amazing your work is. Proud of you Nilesh Oak Ji and your team🙏💐

[upendrasharma]

Sir, it's high time you are bestowed highest civilian national award !
Government should set up an academy/authority for such renouned researchers to promote other youngsters .

[iqnagaraj]

Its time to study our history. lets establish our own science to the world. this shows that how advanced our ancestors are. lets everybody must study this. amazing work .

[prashantverma]

This is Hinduism. (For the people who say Hinduism is just worshipping Idols and
No book from other religions present this knowledge, because their only and only aim is to spread their religion. Mind it they can never ever explain this through their religious texts.

Hinduism is a way of life. It believes truly on Karma and Science.

[anndriggers]

Even Europeans need to be paying attention to this. I believe it is part of our heritage as well... Before the great catastrophe 12k years ago, all knowledge came from the Vedas.

[mini.v.pshibu]

Getting goosebumps to hear about the brilliance of our
