You might be surprised by reading the title of this post.
If some body ask you that who is the first person to measure the distance between the Sun and the Earth..?, you may or may not be known to answer to this question but you can surely told that he/ she must be a foreigner and not an Indian.
If you search on Google then you will get the result like this...
And according to Google the first person to measure the distance between the Sun and the Earth was Aristrachus around the year 250 BC.
In this post I'm going to prove that it has already been discussed in Hanuman Chalisa written by Shri Tulsidasji 5000 BC.
You must have read this para in Hanuman Chalisa....
Now,
1 Yug = 12000 year
1 Sahastra = 1000
1 Yojan = 8 mile
1 mile = 1.6 km
Yug x Sahastra x Yojan = par Bhanu
12000 x 1000 x 8 x 1.6 = 1.53 x 10^8 km to Bhanu (The Sun)
Which is the same as the answer of Google and the figure that used now a days in calculation.
It proves that Hanumanji jumped to the Sun 1.53 x 10^8 km thinking it as a sweet fruit.
It is really interesting how accurate, meaningful and scientific our ancient scriptures are..
But unfortunately we all have become the slave of the Western Education System and believe only what the google or the European scientists told and not our Ancient Scriptures...
