About the talk:
Over many thousands of years, the brilliant celestial nightly displays over the unpolluted dark skies of ancient India led to astronomy becoming an integral part of the rhythm of life, paralleling the cosmic cycles, as ancient Indians sought to make sense of the skies, leading to building up of an enormous corpus of astronomy knowledge. In this talk, the speaker highlights several fascinating facts about ancient Indian astronomy, bringing to fore the deliberate distortions injected by Western agencies.
About the Speaker:
Raj Vedam holds a doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering with many years of multi-disciplinary experience, and has developed a strong research interest in the history of sciences, mathematics and technology. His research shows unacknowledged but significant contributions of ancient Indians to sciences and math, impacting several civilizations over different periods of time. While Western texts on the subject enforce a parochial narrative sourcing all sciences and math from ancient Greece or Rome or Egypt, Raj Vedam presents contrary facts and evidence to show their indebtedness to the Indian civilization. He has presented his findings in over 200 public talks, several teacher training workshops, several research publications, and offers two courses on the same at Hindu University of America.

Its a big pity that big industrialists donate millions of dollars to harward which is trying to break india, but not to researchers like Raj, Nilesh etc. Even govt doesn't think of need to find such research.
Exactly. They want their names carved in the hall and corridors of the Ivy league college without regard for their motherland. It is time that Indian student should get out and spread awareness of the lack of funds for research in India . Those research in the western countries will come to India and exploit us again . 'Blackman pleasing the white man ' should stop. What if we happen to rediscover those ancient advanced mathematics by Indian researcher? India will be way ahead of all other countries. But instead, our elite wants to boast of their names up in some corner of those Western University buildings . Let us make a move to Shame these industrialist and their colonial mentality. Young Indian rising up and stand tall, not because of placement in silicon valley but due to the achievement in their own home grown soil carrying on the rich achievement of their ancestors. But kick hindutva out from any interference cause this Bane, abuse of patriotic religious sentiment do nothing but make a mockery of genuine Indian achievement. Their wild claims like cloning, wi- fi, etc in ancient Indians just make us a laughing stock. Real authentic achievement are there but these idiots make it a blind fanatic thing to really make a serious research . Two actions are needed. Make a good image for serious research prospect of the ancient Indian civilization in terms of scientific advancement and stop the long dirty haired sadhus from trying to make profit off these honest endeavours. Make the industrialist shameful to chase clout and prestige with their large donation to foreign research while ignoring the honme scholars who needed the funds very much for a great leap in mathematics and science and for the good of humanity as well
They fund to send there kids and they afraid of Media if you didn't give funds to Harvard your company shares will dip, you won't get any big contracts especially for companies like TCS, Wipro as the whole media is left wing in West, Harvard is the epitome of west liberalism, Colonial institution and white supremacy. Insecure from China and India's threat of Progress as it challenges their dominance:)
That's because money usually goes into most essential needs first. Once we get there, I'm sure more people will show interest like we already are.
Also, it's not very clear on how to donate/support these researches to us common people. More people would like to donate even today if it's clear
Industrialists we can't blame..
Talk about the govt.🫠
Respect to this man.
Ah! What a puff of fresh air!! Bharat needs ten or more of you, and Bharatiya millionaires and the Govt. of India need to find a way to fund works of scholars like you. If there was a way to donate to you, I would have done it immediately. I will try to find you on the internet and connect with you somehow. Mean while, please accept my million thanks for this awesome, very enlightening, lecture. I will find your other lectures and listen to them and may even join your Hindu University!
Hey sangam talks can u plz provide Hindi translation of the above video to get this known by large population 🙏🏻thank u
Lovely presentation Dr. Vedam.

Thank you for this 🎉
What a marvelous lecture, these scientific facts were some of the reasons I started practicing Hinduism and began studying the Vedic Scriptures. Namaste 1:21:59
One day, i hope to see these lectures getting broadcast on TV channels on regular basis,ay be through sowm kind of tie up where sangam talks allow TV broadcasters to access their contents.
Dr Vedam yr discourse on lost indian glory recharges listeners sensors of mind in rising mode,
Dear Dr. Raj Vedam I have your first Videos about 2 years ago and that was primarily About Astronomy and Dating of Ramayana! Thank you! I wish I was still teaching but I am now retired 6 years ago! You would have invited to my College in DU🙏
I listened to a talk this long after a very long period and boy o boy... it was heavy... inspiring and I hope that the youth pick this up further...
39:10 Trigonometry have it Origins in Surya siddhant. And also mention of trigonometry Gupta Period.
Dr. Vedam is amazing 😇🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i feel you are one of the rishis reborn to retell the stories to make India great again. A salute to your endeavour and i hope our Modiji will do something towards patronising
Dhanyavad ji
Adbhut our akalapniye sanatan gyan ki bahut hi gyanwardhak jankari pradaan karne k liye saadar dhanyawaad.
i wish we have to study books of raj vedam , sahana eingh, sanjeev sanyal, nilesh oak etc scientist historians , i did history from st.stephens ...it was marxist helm they prescribed marxist historians who were not scholars their works were poorly written without facts they were just good in english most did higher studied ftom outside india with euro centric viw point just churning out fiction so it was not at all inspiring i wish to turn the clock if he was my teacher i would have leant sanskrit and dig for more truth and travel throughout india and get knowledge first hand
Brilliant video! The sheer number of historical astronomic markers are huge. If a million books had not been burnt in Nalanda for 3 months we would have all documentary evidence and knowledge reservoir we need today. 😢
He is a gem. I always give his reference where he talked about west bias ness toward publishing Indian research work.
THANK YOU... DR. RAJ VEDAM...!!!
No words to describe the passion for Hindu dharma.
What a fluid delivery of mind boggling advanced science
Wow. Mind blown. What a great research. We need more people like him to restore the Sanatan glory. Immense respect.
I heard this 3 times and it’s just brilliant… still many things are sinking in
Brilliant. Please keep enlightening us with our past that has vanished from the memory of we Indians and keep rebutting western historians who downplay our history and keep debunking their erroneous theories about India's history and rich ancient heritage. 1:25:56
Amazing. This must be all over
Dr Vedam You Rock!
Brilliant debate.
Namaste Sir ❤❤thank you 🙏
Keep doing this good work. Its not for them. It is for us, our ancestors.
Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines❤.
Mind boggling,feel proud of our heritage and culture.🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉
Such is the impossible wealth of SANATANA DHARMA ❤❤❤❤
I think Raj Vedam sir is very patient in answering all the queries. The audience should keep their questions short.
These lectures of Dr.Vedam should become a part of high school or college histiru syllabus!!
I accidentally came to this video. I was tremendously impressed by dr raj vedam' speech. I have studied basic concepts in vedas and upnishads and i am now studying basic concepts about indology in which some portion of archaeology is there.i am curious about the courses conducted by dr raj vedam. How i could get information about this?
Dr Raj Vedam model based analysis of sky / universe and correlation of Indian inventions in the area of Astronomy are great and eye opening about great Indian ancient scients. Thanks for a very elaborate analysis. I have become fan of Dr Raj Vedam sir. Namaste.
How I wish Stephen Hawking heard this speech!! Even, Carl Sagan in his Cosmos series said- Indians talked of cosmic cycles and long scales of Time that match with modern scientific observations, though, of course, they stated it "accidentally" !!!
Why Sagan says "accidentally"....... ?!!
Raj vedam Sir's I always admired ur presentation , elaboration about our Ancient Indian history, Vedic history, Astrology,etcc are great & beautiful.. I am very much inspires & Indian youths pick/ learn from this further...
Very nice.....
Pure brilliance..
Great eye opening lecture for most Indians
Thanks
As always great work Dr. Vedam!
ALL WESTERN KNOWLEDGE HAS ITS ORIGIN IN ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY AND CIVILIZATION.
I wonder how is the USA the most powerful nation in the world rather than India.
I saw our entire civilisation reaching out to the present us.
Nice.....
thanks, great lecture..
You are a Rishi indeed 🙏🙏🙏
So much knowledge. Modem humans are so primitive
Thank you Dr Raj.
It's always pleasure to listen to you.
Yes Really Great Talk
Outstanding presentation. Please keep up the great work.
Dear Dr Raj, i have been facinated by your sharing of all these information. Im a Malaysian of Indian heritage and bow down to the IHAR team for the work all of you are doing. I wish you and your team the blessings and success in your journey. Tqsm
Too good indeed. Dr.Raj is making us proud & his work needs lots of support for sure
Saastaang Dandwat to you sir..
No words can really explain your dedication and great service to Hinduism and Humanity as a whole...!!!
Amazing amazing Vedic chronology video, Raj vedam sir's video are always excellent to spend time on., Please watch and share this in all your groups.
These evidences are too much fascinating.... Hope young people from your field are also doing research like you....
great great explanation.
Dr. Shri Raj Vedam A.National Asset. Joy Of Knowledge , he basks IN
As usual your brilliance unparalleled. During indo Greek period of 300 years the indo Greeks found our science and astronomy interesting and learnt it formulated Yavanasastra and yavana sidhanta. If the Greek civilisation could survive Arabic and European invasions they would have been happily indic now. Because our culture is so deeply embedded for millennia inspite of 1200 year foreign rule the only ancient surviving civilisation is Bharat. Entire Google search will not mention Out of India theory. Without ephimeris and log tables we see now panchang was written, not to be seen anywhere in the world in old times.
Fascinating difficult to comprehend but undeniably mind boggling and wonderful!
Dr. Raj Vedam thank you for ALL your educational videos, I learn much.
🙏
what a lovely talk, new fan of Dr. Raj here!
Dear Raj Sir Namaskaram,
What a work❤
Its only awesome
A part of the thesis you explained was there in my head since i was in 11std...
Felt like you gave words to it...
Great awesome work❤🙏🏽
It would be very beneficial to the young researchers if this talk programme is published in the form of a fully edited volume. Vedam has touched upon so many things dealing not only contents but also methods etc. His reference to the relative merits and demerits of the difference between oral and written text is quite informative and it disproves the predominant importance given to the latter source.
Bro you’re hitting em for six. Keep on batting strong. Tell the sincere truth of ancient history via pure scientific analysis.
THANK YOU SIR 🙏
Indians lead a rhythmic life compatable with the very nature. That is the secret of their life in harmony with nature. That translates their life in relation to fellow human beings, animals and thr nature.
Great way of Hindu Nature presented by you.
Thanks 🙏 Fascinating
This is unbelievable scholarship, and the ramifications of all this if true are beyond measure!
Raj vedam ji is awesome, such clarity on his thoughts. He had been twice on our channel too. We had Nilesh Oak and Anil Narayan (ex ISRO) had a talk on Indian Astronomical Mysteries. It was wonderful too.
We are happy with what we are. We are proud of our culture. We should celebrate ourselves why wait for others? Do they seek our aporoval, our praise? No
We don't need foreign approval.
Because of our Suryasindhata we came to know our Indian history. Even the Ramayana It was told that it is myth told and there was no resemblance to our history. It is now proved with help of suryasidhanta Ramayan and the Mahabharat was our true history. You are doing the best the astronomically and archeological survey to know the exact date and place. Thank you very much.
Wonderful. I have been working on the actual truth behind praachina Bhaarateeya Sabhyata since 2019 as a personal project. What I have discerned as the behind a paradigmatic meta-framework is now confirmed by the articulate scientific support of Raj Vedam. Thank you once again. I will remember you. I will cite your works in my project. I am specialised in Darshana Shastra. A student of the late Prof R. Balasubrabian of the then RIASP, Univ of Madras (1985-87 batch). He was the Chairperson of ICPR, New Delhi. He was one of the stalwarts of Advaita.
Amazed by Vedam.
He is an electronics engineer.
But how he studied all rhis snd remembers data ???
I do, but i forget a lot .
Very nice presentation/talk. Lot many new things and refreshing some. The years mentioned in this talk I believe are the latest which we Bharatiyas observed. This is because we say chaturtuga is some 4.3 million years then such events might have happened more than once. Or is it the case that mathematical softwares can't go beyond 10000 years past or in future hence one cannot go beyond these dates? Your point on this sir.
Great ,most respectable person Dr.Vedam. Such confidence comes from great knowledge 🙏
😊😮😊
Wow. I just know dew stories like Druva star etc but lot of knowledge here. Thank you for sharing
Dr Vedam referring to Tilak work is available as a book ‘Orion or Antiquity of Vedas’ which Tilak published in Ninth Oriental Congress held in London. There is incomplete work of him on Vedanga Jyotish and Indian calendar which is published as ‘Vedic Chronology and Vendang Jyotish’ book by Kesari Press. Both books are phenomenal.
I read this 1st book at State Library Of Victoria in Melbourne and second book at National Library of Australia in Canberra. It really reflects his intellectual and deep study in the field. Being a Maharashtriyan I feel ashamed that I didn't know this scholar side of Tilak until last year.
Dr raj Vedam thank you for this wonderful and highly interesting explanation about how ancient we are. Greetings from The Netherlands
I want to hear if someone like Dr Vedam explain relations between Jyotishya and astronomy....
Excellent talk, lot of research and facts. As rightly said by Raj sir the burden of proving our legacy is on us. Govt doing nothing, not allocating funds for ASI. The west is like AAP just accuse us by falsifying truth and the burden is on accused.
ASI is controlled by politicians
Very interesting!!
Everything what we have today started in Bharat for sure
Great work and presentation as usual Raj
Why don’t you present these facts in international conferences and challenge these Indian skeptic western scholars ?
It would be great service to all of us
Jai Hind🙏🏿🇮🇳
Brother, well said.
That was a great talk Dr Vedam
Awesome presentation by Dr Raj Vedam, comprehensive and threaded thru many Purana's, itihasa and Shastra's and revered scientific documents like Surya Siddhanta. His smile is enigmatic throughout the presentation, specially when mentioning Max Mueller and his likes. I started taking notes, but then I realized, each word of this presentation is worth taking note of. Thank you Sangam Talks for this great platform.
Brilliant talk and revelations! I wonder how are we going to correct the history!
Great talk… thanks Dr. Vedam ji and thanks to Sangam talks for hosting such a great talks
Im glad he came back.
Now let's send this information to those institutions that teach and learn otherwise from what we claim here, let's see if they will at the least acknowledge these counterarguments. We want them to publish these observations as papers and give their views on them. Otherwise, we will have to consider them cowards. We need to send this information to the respective divisions of study in both National and International Universities.
please share this video to all the hindu/sanathan activists, who have less information but more emotion
Specially North Indians.
Before seeing this video I knew Bala gangadhar Tilak as only freedom fighter.
Tilak revived our Dharma and it was sorely needed given Gandhi's work in undoing our Dharma.
Fantastic!
Hats off to you, Raj sir. It was amazing elaboration about our Indian history. I always feel proud when I hear about our ancestors and ancient history. The mention of the word 'metaphor' about our history gives me goose bumps, on other hand I also feel like the epics like 'Ramayan' and 'Mahabharata' happened in real. Were our ancestors tried to link the astronomy and other technology with the real stories so that everyone can remember the stories easily and decipher the 'metaphor'?

This is a good informative talk…learned a lot. I keep hearing comparisons with westerns and how they have spread a false narrative…the more i hear it, the more i feel that we have developed victim mindset…u mean, when we have logic and data on our side, why even bother to talk about what colonials did 200 years back…let’s build on what we know and come up with new and innovative things.
Amazing! How would the ancient Indians have known about Yayati/Andromeda galaxy without the modern telescopes? Even if they're only aware of a mysterious cloud-like appearance it is quite an observation. Of course, the sky would have been crystal clear for the naked eye compared to today's pollution.
Andromeda galaxy can be seen with a keen eye in a very dark sky location (Moonless sky) as a dull, dark smear resembling a rain cloud the size of the Moon. It can be seen much brighter thru a binoculars or telescope. To locate it, look in the northern skies for the big "W" (Cassiopeia). The galaxy can be found in a straight line from the bigger pointy part of "W". As I noted in the talk, even an Arab astronomer noticed it in the 10th century without a telescope. It is truly fascinating to read the speculations of our Rishis on the nature of this object, its dark-cloud characterization, the nearby 5-stars, the multiple worlds it contains, and even the point about colliding with Earth.
@@RajVedam ji thank you for your reply 🙏 As an archaeologist I've been exploring the spatial and temporal abode of the Vedic Rishis. But it's fascinating to know what engaged their minds. There's just so much more for us to learn about our Gurus 🕉
Sir, the story of Andromeda-Yayati is truly fascinating!! When Yayati/rishi say “so many worlds”, does it indeed refer to the numerous Solar Systems in the galaxy?
I think the Rishi is talking about planets/grahas not solar systems because "planet" is closer to being called a world. if it's solar system then it would be mandala of that world.
Sir i really worship your deep efforts. I kindly pray that your insights get deeper🙏
