Ancient Hindu Wisdom About Atoms

Acharya Kanada, also known as Kashyapa, an ancient Indian natural scientist and philosopher, formulated the theory of atoms 2500 years before John Dalton’s discovery. He founded the Vaisheshika school of Indian philosophy that epitomized the earliest Indian physics. He used this to explain the creation and existence of the universe by proposing an atomistic theory, applying logic and realism which made his school one of the earliest known systematic realist ontology in human history. • Acharya Kanada was born in 600 BC in Prabhas Kshetra (near Dwaraka) in Gujarat, in Eastern India. His real name was Kashyap. • Once on his holy expedition to Prayag, Kashyap saw thousands of devotees littering the streets with flowers and rice grains, which they presented at the temple as a symbol of respect. Fascinated by the broken grains of rice spread on the streets, he started collecting them. • A crowd gathered around and asked him that why he is collecting the leftover grains that even a beggar will not eat. He replied that while the individual grain particles may not have any worth, but a collection of hundreds of grains can make up a person’s meal, the collection of many such meals would serve an entire family and ultimately would feed the entire mankind. Therefore even a single grain of rice is as important as all the valuable riches in this world. • Impressed by his thoughts and explanation of importance of even a single particle, people began calling him ‘Kannada’, as ‘Kan’ in Sanskrit means ‘the smallest particle’. • Kanada was walking with food in his hand, breaking it into small pieces when he realized that he was unable to divide the food into any further parts. From this moment, he conceptualized the idea of a particle that could not be divided any further. He termed that indivisible matter parmanu or anu (atom). Note that, at later times, anu (atom) was considered to be consisted of paramanu (“sub-atom”), but Kanada used these terms interchangably . He also proposed that this indivisible matter could not be noticed or perceived through any human organ i.e., through naked eyes. • • Subscribe for more Content 👍 • . • . • . • . • . • . • . • . • . • #hinduism #hindu #sanatandharma #india #vedic #ancientreligion #facts #history #hindupilgrimage • . • . • . • . • . • 😇Thank You😇
