Description of the 'battery' that generates electricity in 'Agastya Samhita'!

- Future Science - KR Chowdhury

- Even before Western scientists, Indian sages knew the secret of electricity production?

Some time ago on social media, we read fake news. The essence of which was that 'In ancient times, the important thing was to generate electrical energy by the sage, i.e. the battery or cell that we use today. The information / formula related to it is given by him in 'Agastya Samhita'. An authentic video corroborating this is on the YouTube channel of 'Kashmir File' filmmaker-director Vivek Agnihotri. The sixth episode of the channel's 'Bharat Ki Baat' talks about electricity and electric power generation. In which Rishi Agastya and 'Agastya Samhita' a verse describing the electric cell is also shown. Many people wondered that 'is there really a principle in Attsya Samhita that describes electrical power? If so does it really work? Which verse and principle regarding electricity given in Agtasya Samhita is wrong? To prove that, not only in India, the so-called intellectuals living in America were also put to work? What exactly is in the verse about electricity in the Agtasya Samhita? Let's dive into it and try to get a clear answer.

We Are Not the First - 'Riddles of Ancient Science'

Author Andrew Thomas answers this question. The event is mentioned in Andrew Thomas' book We Are Not the First - Riddles of Ancient Science (1971), published by Spear Books Ltd, London. The author notes in Chapter-13 (Page 123) of the book that 'During his journey to India, he came across some important documents of the Agtasya Samhita in the library of the Prince of Ujjain. It clearly mentions how to make an electric battery. Remember this mention is according to a Sanskrit verse given by sage Agtasya. The author writes that Mitra-Varuna means the two poles of electricity are the cathode and the anode. This text is even older than the Koenig Battery found by archaeologist Koenig in Baghdad. Which clearly means that 'the knowledge of India's important code had reached Sumer, Babylon and Egypt.' Today's so-called intellectuals question that 'isn't this verse in the important text published by sage Agastya? What shall we answer to this?' Read on.

We have seen the mention of Pushpaka Vimana in Ramayana. Ravana carried Sitaji and reached Lanka by air. He carries Sitaji in the chariot/vehicle. Shall we call it a plane or a skyship? Around 1920, Parashuram Hari Thatte, a Maharashtrian Sanskrit scholar, was writing a book called 'Akashayana' on the plane mentioned in ancient literature. At this time he had some questions? He was able to get knowledge of the outer structure of the spaceship from ancient texts, but he had some questions about its internal structure. At such a time Vidwan Rao Saheb Krishnaji came to his aid. Krishnaji Vaje had a collection of books containing technical information in Sanskrit.

- Agastya Samhita

The ancient form of battery used in every electronic device today is given by Agastya Muni in his verse. The verse translates as follows. Take an earthen pot, arrange a copper strip in it. Put copper sulphate in it, then wet the bhukka produced while sawing wood in the middle and arrange it, put mercury and zinc on top, (then on both ends) join the wires, Mitravarunashakti (electricity) will rise. Discussion of this verse and the information it contains started in 2015. With the rise of social media, this issue has again become a hot topic.

In 1938-39, the German archaeologist Wilhelm König found some clay bowl-shaped vessels while excavating in Baghdad. The upper part of which was covered with asphalt. An iron rod was arranged in a copper cylinder in the center. He described his discovery in Austria's "9 Jhre Irak". König referred to these characters as the batteries of ancient Babylon. Some people also refer to it as the /'Baghdad Battery'. The funny thing is that after World War II, a scientist named Willard Gray of the General Electric Company created something similar to the Baghdad Battery. But no electricity was generated in it. He felt that some electrolyte chemical had evaporated from the vessel so he added copper sulfate. And.. as if a miracle happened. This battery used to generate electricity. Willard Gray declared that 'the battery invented by Babylon really worked. Which means 'Babylonians knew about electrical energy.' Now when we look at the design of the battery prepared by a scientist named Willard Gray, we realize that 'the type of design that Sage Agastya described in the verse is almost the same design found in the Bagdad or Babylon batteries. The question is, how did Agastya Muni's verse reach Baghdad as mentioned in ancient Indian scriptures?

Shikhigriva means peacock's neck?

Rao Saheb Krishnaji Waje passed the engineering examination from Poona in 1891. While searching for scientific texts in India, he met Mr. N.V. in Ujjain. Some documents found by Gadgil, Kaharwadi. who were associated with the Agastya Samhita. This copy was received from Damodar Trimbak Joshi of the Jagannath temple in Ujjain. Which was not included in the 'Atsya Samhita'. These documents were dated around 1550. After reading the description given in the documents, Dr. M. who was the Head of Sanskrit Department in Nagpur. C. Sahastrabuddha realized that 'this description is similar to Daniel's cell (electrical battery). So, he asked Professor of Engineering in Nagpur Mr. P.P. Hollen asked to check the information and structure of the documents. In which Agastya's motto was as follows- 'Ssthapya mrunmeya patre...Mitravarunasanjitam.' '

Based on the verse description, Mr. Hall and his friend began preparations to build a battery. He understood all the content mentioned in the verse, but could not understand the true meaning of Shikhigriva. He interpreted it as 'Shikhigriva means peacock's neck' according to the traditional meaning of the culture. They went to a nearby zoo to get the peacock's neck. Asked the president there, 'When will the peacock die in your zoo? Hearing this, the president got angry and said why? Then Mr. Hall said 'A peacock's neck is needed for an experiment.' Hearing this he said, ok. You give me an application. I will make arrangements.'

A few days later, on this subject, P.P. Hall was talking to an Ayurvedacharya. When he narrated the whole incident to Ayurvedacharya, he started laughing. He said, Shikhigriva here does not mean the peacock's neck, but refers to the copper sulphate like color of its neck. As soon as this information was received, the problem was solved. Based on that, a battery cell was created. Which was actually generating electricity. This type of battery was demonstrated on August 7, 1990 in front of other scholars at the fourth annual general meeting of the Institute of Indigenous Science (Nagpur). When the current was measured with a digital multimeter, the open circuit voltage was 1.38 volts, and the circuit current was 23 mA.

'Akashayan: Parashuram Hari Thatte'

Who was Agtasya Rishi? What is Agastya Samhita?. You can also get its information through the source. Here we have to talk about how the Sanskrit verses and the translation of verses given by Agastya Rishi reached the books. Informing the book 'Akashayan', a research article first published by Marathi scholar Shri Parasuram Hari Thatte in 'Vedic Magazine and Gurukul Samachar', Lahore, Vol. XXI, No. 7, published in December 1923. The article was again republished in the April 1955 Weekly Shilpa-Samsar, Vol.1 No.16. Copies of which are found in the libraries of Germany, America and some other countries. But only college university or other reputed scholars can reach there. Parashuram Hari Thatte's article not only describes the design of aircraft, but also the 'Ssthapya mrunmaye patre... mitravarunasanjitam' given by sage Agatsya for power generation. The verse is mentioned for the first time in Vidhivat. In addition, how to put another metal on the metal? There is also a verse about electroplating for that matter. There is also a verse on how to form a rope for an airplane. All this information is given in the book 'Akashayan' about ancient aircraft. It was a stroke of luck that the book 'Akashayan' of 'Parashuram Hari Thatte' could not be published.' The unpublished manuscript shown here along with his other unpublished books is now preserved by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona.

Then Andrew Thomas's book 'We Are Not the First - Riddles of Ancient Science' (1971) describes the important codes and electric batteries. Taking reference of this book, another book is published in 2000.' Which is called: 'Technology of God'. Whose author is David Hatcher Childress. Chapter-4 'Ancient Electric CT and Sacred Fire' refers to 'We are not the first'. Also contains information from an article published in July 1964 in Popular Electronics. An article published in the April 1957 Science Digest stated that the electric battery is 2,000 years old. It is also mentioned. No Indian scholar chose to delve deep into this controversy, only asking whether this verse is in the 'Agastya Samhita' or not? If so, state the chapter number and verse number.' Just wrote that.
