Electricity in ....ancient india

HISTORY OF INDIAN ELECTRICITY SYSTEM  

                                                                                     Our country the "BharatGanrajya " is the  Seventh largest  country by area and second most populous country over the 1.2 billion people  and the most populous democracy in the world. It is the land of the diversities .It is an ancient land with an absorbing history the Neolithic indus valley civilization almost 5000 thousand year ago extended much over what is now pakistan  and western India .

There are lots of Mysteries  behind the  Electricity In Ancient India     Ancient Indian Text "Agastya Samshita" dates back to the first millennium BC. It contains a detailed description not only of how to construct an electric battery/cell, but also, how to utilize the battery to 'split' water into its constituent gasses.

Modern battery cell resembles Agastya’s method of generating electricity. For generating electricity, Sage Agastya had used the following material: One earthen pot, Copper plate, Copper sulphate, Wet saw dust, Zinc amalga.

His text says :

संस्थाप्य मृण्मये पात्रे ताम्रपत्रं सुसंस्कृतम्‌।

 छादयेच्छिखिग्रीवेन चार्दाभि: काष्ठापांसुभि:॥

 दस्तालोष्टो निधात्वय: पारदाच्छादितस्तत:।

 संयोगाज्जायते तेजो मित्रावरुणसंज्ञितम्‌॥

“Place a well-cleaned copper plate in an earthenware vessel. Cover it first by copper sulfate and then moist sawdust. After that put a mercury-amalgamated-zinc sheet on top of an energy known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna. Water will be split by this current into Pranavayu and Udanavayu. A chain of one hundred jars is said to give a very active and effective force.”

When a cell was prepared according to Agastya Samhita and measured, it gives open circuit voltage as 1.138 volts, and short circuit current as 23 mA  In the Prince’s Library of Ujjain in India, there is a well preserved document called the ‘Agastya Samshita‘, which dates back to the first millennium BC. It contains a detailed description not only of how to construct an electric battery/cell, but also, how to utilize the battery to ‘split’ water into its constituent gasses.

If hydrogen is contained in an air tight cloth, it can be used in aerodynamics, i.e. it will fly in air.

Translation:
In an iron vessel and in a strong acidic medium, gold or silver nitrate covers copper with a layer of gold or silver. The copper that is covered by gold is called shatakumbha or artificial gold.

These things came to light when Rao Saheb Krishnaji Vajhe had passed the engineering exam in 1891 from Pune. While looking for scriptures related to science, he found a few pages of the Agastya Samhita with Damodar Tryambak Joshi of Ujjain. These belonged to around Shaka Samvat 1550. Later on, after reading the said description in the pages of the Samhita, Dr.M.C.Sahastrabuddhe, the Head of the Sanskrit Department in Nagpur felt that the description was very similar to that of Daniel Cell. So he gave it to P.P. Hole, the Professor of Engineering at Nagpur, with a request to investigate.

When Mr. Hole and his friend started preparing the apparatus on the basis of the above description, they could understand all the things except shikhigreeva. On checking the Sanskrit dictionary, they understood that it meant the neck of a peacock. So, he and his friend went to Maharaj Bagh and asked the chief when a peacock would die in his zoo. This angered the gentleman. Then they told him that they needed its neck for an experiment. The gentleman asked them to give in an application. Later, when during a conversation, they narrated this to an Ayurveda expert, he burst out laughing and said that here it did not mean the neck of a peacock, but a substance of that colour, that is copper sulphate. This solved the problem. Thus, a cell was formed and measured with a digital multimeter. It had an open circuit voltage of 1.38 volts and short circuit current of 23 milli amperes.

The information that the experiment was successful was conveyed to Dr.M.C. Sahastryabuddhe. This cell was exhibited on August 7, 1990 before the scholars of the fourth general meeting at the Swadeshi Vigyan Sanshodhan Sanstha, Nagpur. It was then realised that the description was of the electric cell. They investigated as to what the context was and it was realised that Sage Agastya had said many things before this.

Rao Saheb Vajhe, who spent his life in rummaging the Indian scientific scriptures, and discovering various experiments, gave different names to electricity on the basis of the Agastya Samhita and other scriptures and that electricity is created in different ways. Ancient Vedic technologists produced six kinds of electricity:

·         Tadit—the one produced by friction from leather or silk,

·         Saudamini—that produced by friction from gems or glass,

·         Vidyut—produced from clouds or steam,

·         Shatakoti alias Shatakumbhi—that produced from a battery of hundreds of cells,

·         Hradini—that obtained from storage cells,

·         Ashani—the one emanating from a magnetic rod.

Facing Fear and low confidence . Don't worry KEEP CALM and APPLY IT

                   The worst thing is that we people have always a big dream We can dare to dream big and then hold ourselves to our same old routine with fears     Fear comes with negative thoughts put your thoughts in a bin .here are some steps we should follow this -
