Scientific & Logical errors in Vedas, Geetha & Mahabarath!!!

The purpose of my presentation on veda


and science is not to hurt any hinduss feeling. If while presenting, if I hurt your feelings, I do apologize in
advance. The purpose is only to point out, that a Gods Revelation cannot contain scientific errors. There
are uncountable errors in vedas, only few are mentioned here : Hindu Scriptures of India, in the following
quote. This shows them to be very unscientific, hence disproving Eastern religions and modern New Age
thinking which are based on the Vedas. 1-The moon is 50,000 leagues higher than the sun. 2- Moon
shines by its own light. 3- night is caused by the sun's setting behind a huge mountain. 4- several
thousand feet high, sun located in the centre of the earth. 5- that this world, flat and triangular. 6- world is
composed of 7 states one of honey, another of sugar, a third of butter, and still another of wine, 7- the
whole mass is borne on the heads of countless elephants, which in shaking produce earthquakes." As
you can see, there are at least seven clear scientific errors in this short passage of the Vedas. FEW

SCIENTIFIC ERRORS IN HINDU SCRIPTURES 1.He who fixed firm the earth that staggered, and set at
rest the agitated mountains, who measured out the air's wide middle region and gave the heaven support,
he men is Indra. Rig Ved: 2: 12: 2. We all know today that the earth revolves and rotates and is not fixed.
2.In the beginning rose Hiranyagarbha, born only Lord of all created beings. He fixed and holds up the
earth and the heaven. Rig Ved: 10: 121: 1. We all know today that the earth revolves and rotates and is
not fixed. 3.Firm is the sky and firm is the earth and steadfast are also these hills. Steadfast is all this
living world..... Rig Ved: 10: 173: 4 4.The Bull has supported the sky. Yajur Ved: 4: 30 5.God has firmly
fixed the earth with pegs around it. Yajur Ved: 5: 16 6. North West of the heavens. Yajur Ved: 13: 56, 57
7.The Bull has supported the sky. Yajur Ved: 14:5 8. Arjun says to Krishna ,The sun and moon are your
eyes. Bhagvad Gita: 11: 19 It is mentioned in Ayodhya Khandam, verses 20,26 and 94 that when Rama
was sent for Banavas he told his mother that he would have to sacrifice his tasty meat dishes. If Rama
had to sacrifice his tasty meat dishes it meant that Rama had likeness for meat. If Rama can have meat,
why cant the Hindus have meat? 1. Vedas say Earth is static! According to Vedas, the earth is static and
this statement is repeated several times. The following are some of the examples: Oh Man ! He who
made the trembling earth static is Indra. (Rig Ved 2/12/12) The God who made the earth stable (Yajur Ved
32/6) Indra protects the wide earth which is immovable and has many forms (Atarv Ved 12/1/11) Let us
walk on the Wide and Static earth (Atharv Ved 12/1/17) 2 2. Vedas say Sun moves around the earth on a
golden chariot with his 7 horses As the Veds Claim that the earth is static and so they tried to prove that
the sun moves around the earth. The following statement from the rig Ved tries to clarify it: 1. "Sun is full
of light and knows all the human beings, so his horses take him to sky to look at the world" (Rig Ved
1/50/1) 2. "O, Bright sun, a chariot named harit with seven horses takes you to sky" (Rig Ved 1/50/8) 3.
"O, man, the sun who is most attractive, takes round of the earth, on his golden chariot through the sky
and removes the darkness of the earth" (Yajur Ved 33/43) 3. Vedas say The Bull has supported the Sky
The Bull has supported the sky. Yajur Ved: 4: 30 The Bull has supported the sky. Yajur Ved: 14:5 4.
Puranas say Earth is Flat NARASINGA PURANA - Page 169 - Abithana Sinthamani - says that the earth
is flat. Today it has been proved beyond doubt by the scientists that the earth is round. 5. Vishnu Purana another astrological error VISHNU PURANA says that sun is 800,000 miles and moon is 2,200,000 miles
away from the earth respectively. Astronomy has now proved that the moon is nearer to the earth, i.e.
240,000 miles and that the sun is 93,000,000 miles away from the earth. 3 6. Markandeya Purana - gives
completely wrong area of the earth MARKANDEYA PURANA says that the earth has an area of
4,000,000,000 square miles. According to astronomy, it is only 190,700,000 square miles. 7. Vedas /
Puranas recommend looking directly into the sun with naked eye The Vedas and Puranas say that all
Hindus must pray to the sun god SURYA, and that if you look at the sun daily every morning with your
naked eyes, your sight will improve. Accordingly many Hindus practise this act of worship; but instead of
their eyesight improving, India is the country that has the most blind people in the world (2.5 million blind

people and 9 million with corneal blindness). There is no scientific truth in sun worship, and on the
contrary the scientist and doctors advise everyone not to look at the sun directly with the naked eye. Who
is telling us the truth, the Scientists or the Hindu scriptures? You be the judge! 8. Vedas say cow is holy
and should be worshipped. (Brahmins add that cow dung ash has medicinal value) The Vedas say that
the cow is holy and should be worshipped. These Brahmins also claim that cow dung ash has medicinal
value. Samples sent to a leading test laboratory in West Germany have proved this to be untrue. 9. Mt.
Meru 100,000 times higher than Mt. Everest according to the Hindu Scriptures Arya texts of a
comparatively late period ( 5 century AD ) still maintain a belief in the fictional Vedic Mt. Meru. It is
supposed to be one hundred thousand times higher than Mt. Everest! Regarding this mountain, the
Matsya Purana says, 4 "It [Mt Meru] is golden and shining like fire. The colour of the eastern side is white
like the colour of Brahmans, that of the northern side is red like the that of Kshatriyas, the southern is
yellow like that of Vaishyas, the western is black like the colour of Sudras. It is 86000 yojana high, and
16000 of these lie in the earth. Each of the 4 sids has 34000 yojanas ... There are beautiful golden
houses inhabited by spiritual beings, the Devas, by the singers the Gandharvas and their harlots the
Apsaras. Also Asuas, Daityas and Rakshasas are living in it. " -- [ Matsya Pur. quoted in al-B. i.247 ] In
general, 1 yojana = 8 miles = 32000 yards and 1 kroh = 1/2 yojana [ al- B i.167 ]. Thus Mt. Meru would be
8x86,000 = 704,000 miles high. Mt. Everest, by comparison, is only 29,000 ft., or less than 6 miles, high.
Hence Mt. Meru is 100,000 times higher than Mt. Everest ! The Kurma Purana has this to say on this
topic, " Earth, composed of seven continents, together with the oceans extends 500,000,000 yojanas
across. Holy Jambudvipa lies in the middle of all the continents; in its center is said to be lofty Mt. Meru,
bright as gold. Its height is 84,000 yojanas, and it extends 16,000 yojanas below the earth; its width at the
top is 32,000 yojanas, and its diameter at the base is 16,000 yojanas." -- [ Kurma Purana, quoted in
Classical, p. 52 ] The impossibly high Mt. Meru is held to be the source of really existing rivers in India
such as the Sita. [ Al-Beruni ] = `Albleruni's India', tr. Sachau [ Classical ] = `Classical Hindu Mythology : A
Reader in the Sanskrit Puranas', ed. & trans. Cornelia Dimmitt and J.A.B. Buitenen. Illogical Aspect
(Errors And Contradictions): In our opinion, God has the absolute knowledge. When He speaks of some
thing, he speaks in absolute terms. He would not resort to meek suggestion/opinions. He is clear,
emphatic and confident! But, what we see in the Gita is Gita 2:25 Krishna says to Arjuna, It is said that
it (the soul) is unmanifest. This (the soul) is inconceivable; this is unchangeable Gita 6:36 Krishna
says to Arjuna, My conviction is that Yoga is difficult to be attained by one of uncontrolled mind and at
many more places like Gita 13:12 etc. Krishna (supposed to be a god) says to Arjuna that it is his opinion
only! As we all know today that the sun, moon and stars are all inanimate objects and cannot have wife
and children like the human beings. But, in the olden days, the Hindu brothers did not know this fact and
they used to hold the belief that these are all gods only. Further, they used to believe that they had marital
relationship and parental relationship with human beings. Anyway, we are going to see it in detail under
the heading, Hindu Gods. Here, we are going to have a look at the sample, which proves beyond doubt
that even the Bhagavad Gita is not immune from this belief! It is mentioned in Gita 4:1, I have given this
infinite knowledge to Sun, he taught it to his son Manu (one of the ancestors of the mankind) and he
taught it to his son Ikshwaka (one of famous saints) It is surprising to see that the Gita attributes sonship
of a human to a star that is the sun. Some scholars of Hinduism hold that the Gita doesnt say that Manu
was a son of the sun. But, they all admit that the Gita mentions the sun having taught a particular
knowledge to Manu. Even this is hard to defend against scientific criticism.
Unscientific points in the Gita.
It was widely believed by the Hindus of older days that the earth is flat. And there is a mountain by the
name Meru Parvata which, surrounds the earth from all sides. The sun circumambulates around that
mount. Thus completing its rotation around the earth. And that mountain Meru is supposed to be the
biggest mountain in the world. It is mentioned in the Gita that the main speaker (supposed to be Krishna)

is giving all the possible superlative examples to express his greatness. One among them goes as
follows Gita 10:23 Of all the Rudras I am the Lord Shiva, of the Yakshas and Rakshasas, I am the Lord
of wealth (Kubera {remember, the lender to god Venkateswara}), of the Vasus, I am fire (Agni), and of
mountains, I am Meru. As a matter of fact, Meru is a hypothetical mountain, which doesnt exist. If
Krishna was god or if the Gita was a word of god, how came, this mistake has crept in? Further, there was
an unscientific belief among the Hindus, which we want to expose directly with an example. In Chapter 10
Krishna commits a mistake while boasting about himself with all possible superlative expressions. Please
go through Gita 10: 31, Of purifiers, I am the wind; Rama of the warriors I; and I am Makara (crocodile) of
fishes; of streams, Ganga I am. No wonder, the unscientific community did not know in those days that,
Makara (crocodile) is not a fish but a reptile. Even if we give lenience to the classification that all the
creatures living in water are fish only, none of them will be called as a reptile. Still, the crocodile is neither
the largest of the fish nor is it the most ferocious. As a matter of fact, it makes us feel that the author of
the Gita has never sailed across the ocean. Otherwise, he is bound to know about the other ferocious,
powerful and large fishes. The reason behind assuming the absence of such exposure to sailing is one of
the basic beliefs in Hinduism that, The man who crosses the sea will become outcaste! In fact, some
scholars opine that Rama (the hero god of Ramaayana) opted to build a bridge to Lanka to fight with
Raavana (the kidnapper of his wife), instead of sailing across! (Please wait for Ramas Character
Certificate to throw some good light on this guy Rama.) Error no.10: As we have already seen under the
article beliefs, the Hindus believe that the moon is the husband of all the stars. They fail to realize the
reality in comparison. Here, in the Gita, we find Krishna boasting about himself, saying Gita 10:21 Of
Adityas, I am Vishnu, of lights I am the radiant sun, of the Maruts, I am Marici, and among the stars, I am
moon. The ancient Hindus fail to realize the fact that, the moon, no doubt appears to be very big from the
earth, but, it remains just a satellite. It is much smaller than the earth also. Further, the earth itself is very
small in comparison to the sun about 400 times, roughly. Then, the sun is just a mediocre star. Then,
logically, saying, I am moon among the stars is like saying, I am ant among elephants!
