Culture of Iran

Very recently I came to know about the culture of Iran. I was surprised to know how open, progressive Iranians are compared to other neighbouring country.  In fact the Iran was known as Persia and the culture  was known as Persian.  It was a county living to the highest human values, friendship, quest for knowledge and rational thinking.

As the history moves on and the things changes, Iran also had to face foreign attacks. These peace loving people were not ready for this. Many of them ran away and took refuge to other country. One can still find a whole bunch of Persian population in India and some other country.  The people who could not leave the country were either killed or converted to the religion of Invaders.

The Persian people started to loose their identity and culture, But thanks to some of the dedicated souls who decided to pump oxygen to the dying Persian culture. When I met Iranians I found that Iranians are like a drop of oil in the Islamic waters. They follow Islam, but they are entirely different from the facts world population associate to the Islamic world. They are wonderful, friendly,and generous people.

Many of the Persian scholar have digged into the history and have reaveled many facts about world history, that hisrorians and Government never would like public to know. Find out more on http://iranpoliticsclub.net 

Knowledge of ancient Hindoos

There is a story where the two sons of lord Shiv had a fight as who is more important and has a better reputation. Lord Shiv proposed that the one who completes a circle around the earth will be accepted as more important. This clearly shows that the ancient Hindoos had a clear concept of earth being round.
Also, according to old sanskrit text goegraphy is called 'Bhu-goal'. Bhu means earth and goal means round or spherical.

The ancient Hindoo astrological system which calculates the effect of clestial bodies on humans takes into consideration the sun, moon and the nine planets, also the equinox. It also explains that the earth and the solar system is in the 'Akash Ganga' or the milky way. not only that if one looks into the old sanskrit text if states that the earth rotates on its axis and also around the sun which is responsible for day and night and different seasons.

This old system also calculates the exact time of solar and lunar eclipses way before the western scientist could ever thought of the rotation of the earth.

The question arises what happened to that knowledge. One should not forget that India was the target of control always because of its wealth and knowledge. And everytime when the people from the outside could get their feet in this country, their main goal was to destroy the culture of hindoos. Which is evident by the destruction of Takshila and Nalanda Universities in Ancent India. Some historians have written that the library at Takshila kept burning for six months. one can easly imagine the volume of collection of books and the knowledge it contained.

If you read about the life and history of top respected Dieties and saints you will notice that all went to school for education whether it was Ram or Krishna or any other person. This proves that Hindoos realised the importance of education well before anyone in the world. The modern numbers, decimal (Sanskrit DASHMALAV SYSTEM) system, and many mathematical opetations were deveploed in India by Hindoos.

Hindoo culture and knowledge started decline after the major attack by middle east countries which started in 8th century BC.

Hindoos had a precise calculation of time. They devised the calander with twelve months, and fiftytwo weeks and 365 days. This time calculation travelled thru arabian countries to Europe which was given different names or equivalent names. for example Sunday ( sanskrit RAVI VAR WHERE RAVI= SUN VAR= DAY, MONDAY = MOON DAY = SANSKRIT SOMVAR where SOM = MOON AGAIN VAR = DAY AND SO ON). One will also be amazed anout the calculation of position and shape of various constellation in the sky was done way before the western scientists.

I will throw more light on this in my future discourses
