Sanskrit: The Ancient Language That Influenced Modern Science and Medicine By Tara Mataji

Bidushi Shree Tara Mataji :

The ancient language of Sanskrit is known to contain knowledge that dates back before modern science. This knowledge has even influenced some scientific discoveries. For instance, the traditional Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda, is based on Sanskrit texts that describe the human body's structure and functions. Many Ayurvedic treatments and practices have been proven to be scientifically valid and are now used in modern medicine.

Sanskrit texts also contain early descriptions of fundamental scientific concepts. The concept of zero, which is essential in modern mathematics, was first developed in India and expressed in Sanskrit texts. Similarly, the laws of physics, including the law of gravity and the concept of atoms, were described in Sanskrit texts long before modern science discovered them.

Moreover, ancient Indian astronomer Aryabhata made significant contributions to mathematics and astronomy, including the accurate calculation of pi and the Earth's circumference. His work influenced later European mathematicians and astronomers.

 While modern science may not have directly learned from Sanskrit, it is evident that the ancient texts in this language contain knowledge that has contributed to and influenced modern scientific discoveries.
