This unique historic intellectual development of the mankind in India can roughly be corresponded with the dawn of a civilized and cultured human society on the surface of the Earth. The historians, despite their continuous efforts and intellectual exercises to determine the appropriate period of the golden era of the revelation of the Vedas in India, fail to reach a consensus meaning thereby the Sanskrit literature is probably the ancient-most literature in the world. Several meaningful works in various languages including English \u0026amp; other foreign languages produced so far by both eastern as well as western scholars, have substantiated a fact beyond doubt that various streams of science and technology such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Medicine, Computer Science, Agriculture and others have drawn their origin from the concepts, nomenclature, contemplations and theories developed by the ancient seers and savants of this country in their monumental works written in Sanskrit. Such two important branches of modem science are space-related Astro-physics and Mathematics that directly correspond with Jyotisham and Ganitam respectively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb;\"\u003eIn view of the outstanding contributions made by our ancestors like Aryabhatt, Bhaskaracharya, Brahmagupta, Lilavati, Samanta Chandra Shekhara to name a few, in these two important branches of science, our country has been adjudged as an advanced centre of scientific learning and research in these two areas. Needless to mention that Professor K.Y. Sharma, former Director, Institute of Sanskrit and Indological Studies, Hoshiarpur, Punjab University, who completely dedicated his life and career to find out this truth, is acknowledged as a pioneer researcher in this field in twentieth century. A doyen of Sanskrit literature and an unparalleled master on indological studies, Prof. Sharma has written nearly three hundred books and six hundred research articles to his credit in various subjects including an area that intends a synergy of both modem scientific knowledge and ancient Indian lore.

Our ancestors have made so many contributions that they were ahead of their western counterparts by at least a thousand years, in this and many other fields like metallurgy, medicine, etc. The Sanskrit word Jyotisa generally is misunderstood to mean astrology, though originally \u003cspan class=\"GramE\"\u003eits\u003c\/span\u003e started off as Astronomy. The word is derived from Jyotih (padartha) meaning luminous bodies (found in the sky) and the Sastra dealing with them after keen observation of them is Jyotise. Thus Astronomy was developed, as a Vediinga to facilitate calculation of time, and the right time to perform the Vedic rituals and Laukika karma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb;\"\u003eSince this needed not only keen observation of the celestial bodies but also a lot of calculations, there was also a lot of development in mathematics. Thus we find a parallel development both in Astronomy and Mathematics. There were both heliocentric and geo-centric views of the world. Nonetheless the calculations were perfect and also accurate predictions could be made about lunar and solar eclipses, which are a real marvel, given the highly haphazard path of the moon in the back drop of the stars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"Style\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb;\"\u003eMost of the authors were both Astronomers and Mathematicians making significant contributions to both the fields.

A survey of literature on Astronomy conducted and prepared by David Pingree with the title: “Census of the Exact Sciences in Sanskrit”, in five Volumes (up to letter Published by American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia.) bears testimony to this fact. His survey reveals that there are more than one lakh manuscripts in Jyotise (including Astronomy and Astrology) which are available in India and abroad.
