13 Ancient Indian Sages Whose Contributions Were Far Ahead Of Their Times

[Deepak Kiran]

The modern world likes to take credit for many technological inventions, but we fail to mention that often many of these “discoveries” are nothing but re-inventions based on knowledge our ancestors possessed long ago.




In ancient times, India was one of the most advanced nations in the world. India has made many valuable contributions to the world. Centuries ago Indian sages had the kind of knowledge which many modern scientists lacks. Many Indian sages made discoveries that no one could think of back in those times.

Aryabhatta (476–550 CE)​

Aryabhatta was a master Astronomer and Mathematician, born in 476 CE in Bihar. In 499 CE, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparalleled treatise on mathematics called ‎Aryabhatiya. He formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatta was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space – 1,000 years before Copernicus. He is also acknowledged by many as the first person who calculated the value of Pi. And above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent

Bhaskaracharya (1114–1185 CE)​

Bhaskaracharya’s mathematical works called “Lilavati” and “Bijaganita” are considered to be unparalleled. Bhaskaracharya was the first to discover gravity, 500 years before Sir Isaac Newton. In the “Surya Siddhant” he makes a note on the force of gravity:

“Objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. Therefore, the earth, planets, constellations, moon, and sun are held in orbit due to this attraction.”

Bhaskara accurately calculated the time that earth took to revolve around the Sun as 365.2588 days that is a difference of 3 minutes of modern acceptance of 365.2563 days. He is also considered to be a pioneer in the field of algebra.
