Description:
This comprehensive work traces the rich history and development of Hindu Astronomy from its earliest beginnings. Covering a wide array of topics, it delves into the prehistoric astronomy of the migrating Aryan tribes, early Hindu periods, the Hindu understanding of the ecliptic and months, and the Rishi Theory explaining planetary motions.
The book also explores the mathematical foundations of Hindu science, including arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, and discusses ancient Hindu astronomical instruments. Special focus is given to early Hindu astronomers such as Parasara, Garg, Aryabhata, and Varaha Mihira, alongside the impact of the rise of Buddhist thought on Hindu astronomy.
Detailed attention is paid to ancient astronomical treatises known as Siddhantas, including the Brahma Siddhanta, Surya Siddhanta, Brihaspati Siddhanta, Garga Siddhanta, Parasara Siddhanta, and Vasishta Siddhanta. W. Brennand's scholarly work presents a deep and fascinating insight into one of the most important scientific traditions of ancient India.
