Bhaskaracharya’s Law of Gravity : Discovered in 1150 AD, 1200 Years before Newton! India is considered as a traditional country but the world is unaware of our contributions to this modern world. Our theories were used as a base for many concepts such as weather forecast, astronomy, astrology, aviation etc. India has developed some of the best mathematicians the world has ever seen. Many of these geniuses were not given credit for their work. An exhibition was held to spread awareness on India’s rich scientific heritage. The exhibition coordinator, Ashish Manjramkar stated  “Very few of us know that speed of light was known to Indians in Vedic period. A shloka says that the speed of light is 2202 yojana per half nimish.  Yojana is a unit of distance which equals to 9.06 miles and half a nimish (nimishardha) is one tenth of a second. The figure is very close to the modern measurement of speed of light.” – Article Res When we talk about gravity, the first name that pops into our heart is “Sir Isaac Newton”. In school we all have been told the story of how Newton was inspired to formulate “The Universal Law of Gravitation” when an apple fell from a tree. The world believes that Newton was the first to discover the gravitational concepts. You will be surprised to known that the theory of gravitation was created 1200 years before Newton by an Indian Mathematician Bhaskaracharya.  Before discussing Bhaskaracharya’s contribution let us understand the basic concept of gravity. Gravity is a universal force that allows a mass of body to attract other masses of body. The bigger a mass of body is, the higher will be the force of gravity. Importance of Gravity: Objects stay on earth because of the gravitational pull. Every single body in the universe is affected by gravitational forces which also include the earth, sun and the moon. Tidal waves are created by the gravitational pull of the moon. Sun’s gravitational pull keeps all the planets in the orbit. Earth’s gravity allows it to revolve around the sun. Now that you have understood the meaning of Gravitation, let’s get back to the work of Bhaskaracharya. Who was Bhaskaracharya ? He was one of the most prominent astronomers and mathematicians of the 12th century. He is also considered as the greatest mathematician from the medieval era. He is known amongst the theorist for discovering principles on astronomy and calculus. He wrote “Siddhānta Śiromaṇī” at the age of 36 in 1150 AD. He also contributed to “Surya Siddhanta” that was originally written by Aryabhatta. The first principle of gravity was stated by “Bhaskaracharya” and “not Newton” Bhaskaracharya stated the laws of gravity in the book Surya Siddhanta in 11th century. Thus the law actually exists even before the birth of Sir Isaac Newton (Newton was born in the 16th century). Here are some of the slokas from his book Surya Siddhanta that mentions how gravitation works : “madhye samantandasya bhugolo vyomni tisthati bibhranah paramam saktim brahmano dharanatmikam” [Surya Sidhantha 12th chapter 32 sloka] This means: The spherical earth stands at the centre of earth in space due to the dharanatmikam sakti which prevents earth from falling away and helps it to stand firm. “akrsta saktisca mahi taya yat svastham guru svabhimukham svasaktya akrsyate tatpatativa bhati same samantat kva patatviyam khe” [Sidhanta Shiromani, Bhuvanakosa, 6th sloka] This means: Every object falls on the ground due to earth’s force of attraction. This force allows the sun, earth, moon and constellations to stay in the orbit. – Article Res Bhaskaracharya wrote a treatise name Lilavati where he answers a question posed by his little daughter. In this book, he answers his daughter Lilavati’s curious questions. In this book, he explains that earth has gravitational force (gurutvakarshan shakti). There is a mutual attraction between the planets and this allows them to hold themselves firmly in space. He also mentioned the shape of the earth

Bhaskaracharya’s Law of Gravity : Discovered in 1150 AD, 1200 Years before Newton! Bhaskaracharya was a famous astronomer and mathematician of the twelfth century. He is known among scholars for founding standards in astronomy and mathematics. He expressed “Siddhant Shiromani” in 1150 AD at the age of 36. He also added “Surya Siddhanta”, a gravitation originally composed by Aryabhata. Bhaskaracharya’s law of gravity: 1200 years before Newton’s birth, Bhaskaracharya described the laws of gravity in a book called Surya Siddhanta in the eleventh century. Subsequently, this law existed even before the advent of Sir Isaac (Newton was brought into the world in the sixteenth century). Here is an excerpt from the verses from his book Surya Siddhanta which explains how the force of gravity works: “Madhya Samantandasya Bhugolo Vyomni Tishthati.” Bibhranah Param Shaktim Brahmano Dharanatmikam.” Reference (Surya Siddhanta 12th Chapter 32 Verse). Meaning of the above verse: The spherical earth remains at the center point of the world in space due to Dharanatyakam energy, which prevents the world from continuously falling and helps it to stand firmly. “Akrasta Shaktisch Mahi Tay Yat Swasthaam Guru Swabhimanam Swasaktya Akarshyate tatpatativ bhati sam samantat kva pattavyan khe” Reference (Siddhant Shiromani, Bhuvankosh, sixth verse). Meaning of the verse of Bhaskaracharya’s law of gravity: Every object falls to the ground due to the attraction of the earth. This power allows the Sun, Earth, Moon, and celestial bodies to remain in a circle. Conclusion- Bhaskaracharya’s law of gravity in the 12th century made important contributions to mathematics and astronomy. He was called the greatest mathematician of the Middle Ages in India. Because he mentions “Parambrahman” in that verse, he calls himself a poet and is probably a Vedanti. He was a champion among ancient and medieval Indian mathematicians. Some historical references provide evidence that Bhaskaracharya first developed the laws of gravity in India. He did not wait for the apple to fall; Bhaskaracharya’s law of gravity was older than Newton’s law. We all know Newton’s law of gravitation but not Bhagacharya’s law of gravitation.

Yoruichi gonna be all over us I call it

Thanks

thnkx for the chapter

I need another To much suspense
