Brahmasphutasiddhanta of Brahmagupta

 

siddhanta - has been understood to be a doctrine - while it meaning is

literally result of siddhi - and siddhi is intrinsic striving

principle present in all humankind. " striving " has related action

components which our ancients called karma. so " siddhanta " means the

results of diligent research.

 

And lo acharya brahmagupta came up with he word " brahmasphuta " concept

- the key to this is the word " sphuta " for the universe. the " big

bang " theory is " visphuta " for the start of the universe. similar yet

so much dissimilar! The acharya expounded the concept of zero, a

number of methods in mathematics and also calculated very precisely

the length of the year! His works were translated into arabic.

 

Now, the original work may be in some library - japanese, german and

new zealand workers have digitized (meaning typed in the work) as part

of some aid, i guess - and copyrighted the material. Of 24 chapters in

his work about 6 dealing with only the mathematics were available on

net for access of internet users - Now eve that is off.

 

in india how many school children know about brahma gupta, bhaskara,

or varahamira.

 

I do hope the future will have kind thoughts and excuse the fallacies

of the present for the denying them opportunities -even after

Independence from foreign rule.
