21. Indian Astronomy Through Ages In AD 149/150, in the reign of RudradamanI, probably at Ujjain, one yavanesvaratranslated a long Greek astrological text into Sanskrit prose. http://www.infinityfoundation.com/mandala/t_es/t_es_shah_m_astronomy.htm

Indian Astronomy Through Ages by Manikant Shah Through this essay, I propose to give a brief history of Indian astronomy. There are a number of books and papers on this subject, which an average visitor to our website may not have easy access to, or time to consult. Through this portal of the Mandala we try to briefly highlight the History of Indian Science and Technology on various themes, as also review relevant books. This account of the history of Indian astronomy brings out three things clearly: 1) In contrast to the Western Christian-Judaic culture where the man and universe originated just about 6000 yrs ago, the Indians had the concept of deep time; 2) There was intense academic and cultural exchange among Central and West Asian countries and India, which influenced development of science too; and that 3) they were aware of Greek science too and translated Greek works in Sanskrit. Rajesh Kochhar takes a look at the Pre-Telescopic Astronomy in India. Pre-Telescopic would mean the period that preceded the invention and the use of Telescope by Galileo in 1609. While introducing the subject he tells us that the ancient man's perception of the Universe was based on 'Seeing is believing'. Since the planetary bodies seemed to go round the earth, the earth was assumed to be the centre of the Universe. This approach is understood as the geocentric approach as opposed to the heliocentric approach which, on the contrary believes that the planetary bodies are going around the

Chapter Twenty-nine Talks Between Narada and King Pracinabarhi TEXT 1 TEXT pracinabarhir uvaca bhagavams te vaco 'smabhir na samyag avagamyate kavayas tad vijananti na vayam karma-mohitah SYNONYMS pracinabarhih uvacaKing Pracinabarhi said; bhagavanO my lord; teyour; vacahwords; asmabhihby us; nanever; samyakperfectly; avagamyateare understood; kavayahthose who are expert; tatthat; vijanantican understand; nanever; vayamwe; karmaby fruitive activities; mohitahenchanted. TRANSLATION King Pracinabarhi replied: My dear lord, we could not appreciate completely the purport of your allegorical story of King Puranjana. Actually, those who are perfect in spiritual knowledge can understand, but for us, who are overly attached to fruitive activities, to realize the purpose of your story is very difficult. PURPORT In Bhagavad-gita (7.13) Lord Krsna says: tribhir gunamayair bhavair ebhih sarvam idam jagat mohitam nabhijanati mam ebhyah param avyayam "Deluded by the three modes [goodness, passion and ignorance], the whole world does not know Me, who am above the modes and inexhaustible." Generally people are enchanted by the three modes of material nature and therefore practically unable to understand that behind all materialistic activities in the cosmic manifestation is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna. Generally when people are engaged in sinful or pious activities, they are not perfect in knowledge of devotional service. The allegorical story narrated by Narada Muni to King Barhisman is especially meant to engage conditioned souls in devotional service. The entire story, narrated allegorically, is easily understood by a person in devotional service, but those who are engaged not in devotional service but in sense gratification cannot perfectly understand it. That is admitted by King Barhisman.

Canto 4 Chapter 29 Adhoksaja As the person desired to enjoy the modes of material nature in their totality, he then thought that having nine gates, two legs and two hands would thus be very good. The two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, the mouth, the genitals and rectum are thus the two by two gates leading outside that one accompanied by the senses passes. The ones named and Sometimes male and sometimes female and sometimes neither of both; sometimes blind of intelligence, a human being, sometimes a God and sometimes an animal, exists one of ones activities to the modes of nature, born according ones karma. Like a poor dog overcome by hunger that wanders from one house to the other to either be rewarded or for sure be punished according its destiny, does similarly the living entity in pursuing different types of high and low desires wander high or low, or the middle of the road, reaching according his destiny that what is pleasing or not so pleasing. Although counteracting, being faced with certain kinds of misery as caused by nature, others or oneself, is it for the living being not possible to stop them.
