It was not Copernicus, who discovered that earth goes round the Sun.
Long before Copernicus, Varaha Mihira discovered that Earth goes round the Sun and not vice-versa.
World's first surgeries were performed by Sushrutha (and his ancestors), several thousand years ago.
India's science was developed several thousand years ago, much before our modern science.
Even today, modern science can NOT provide better cures than Ayurveda. That is why many in the west are flocking to Ayurveda and doing research on Ayurveda. But our "secular" governments find it to be "communal".

the next time you are in a hospital remember what you just pasted above regarding ayurveda.
and btw, where were you born? In a hospital or a forest ?

It is the other way.
Sometime in future, when you or your loved ones are in hospital and robbed throusands of rupees with no cure but many side effects, then you will remember Ayurveda.
I am not against modern medicine. I am only pointing out that Indian medicina (Ayurveda) was much advanced several thousand yeras ago and even today, it has better cures for some diseases than allopathy.

and you never could ... because the next time you cannot answer nature's call you will take the first appointment at a 'non-ayurveda' hospital ... leave alone a surgery.
Ha
it is nice to say stories when everything's fine, but when things are not fine, sh*it happens.

Religion has to be brought into the discussions because your sick Christian mind opposes anything related to ancient India.
I never knew your religion, but from the way you talked, I could guess that you must be a Christian or Muslim, because only they are opposed to Indian culture, science and anything related to India.

I am born in a hospital, not a forest.
I was born with the help of allopathy, noy Ayurveda.
I haven't said anything against allopathy or modern science. I only said that India is much advanced in science and technology much before this modern science.
Why is that hurting you, Deepak? Are you a Muslim, Christian or a Communist? Answer this question.

I am a Christian. How does this impact my question? Do you have different answers for a Christian and non-christians ? If so, does it not tell something on your integrity which you are flaunting so exhaustively ?
You say "Even today, modern science can NOT provide better cures than Ayurveda." If so, why did your parents choose a hospital, and why (i am sure) you will choose a hospital for your kid ?

Once I met with an accident. I went to a modern hospital, not to Ayurveda.
I practise Yoga and Pranayama.
I was suffering from Bronchitis (Asthma) for several years. I consulted several allopathic doctors, some prescribed strong medicines, some prescribed mild medicines. But it remained uncured. One doctor suggested costly medicines from Singapore. I used them also, but still I was not cured. I remained uncured for several years.
Finally, I was cured by Ayurveda, within one year, by using cheap medicines.
Earlier I used to take allopathic medicines for headache, cols and fever. Now, when I get fever, I don't take any medicine at all. I just follow diet as per ayurvedic principles. I get cured without any medicine automatically within 2 or 3 days.
Ayurveda is preventive. If you follow it, you will not fall sick. There will not be a need for "medicine".
Yoga and Pranayama have even cured Cancer in some cases.
I am not saying that you must not use allopathy at all. If I meet with an accident and lose blood, I will definitely go to a modern hospital. But, by default, for most of the ailments, I will try to use Ayurveda. I will use allopathy, only if Ayurveda fails. I have been following this policy and I have been maintaining perfect health.
Take the best form both the worlds, Allopathy and Ayurveda. Be open to both of them.
Don't ignore Ayurveda, just because it belongs to ancient India and because you are a Christian opposed to it.
Shameless Peoples of this contry Who supports Corruption, load shading, Suicides of farmers, Appeasement of Muslims, Vote bank politics above national Interest & Power at any cost, VOTE FOR CONGRESS & RUIN THIS COUNTRY.
RE:VOTE FOR CONGRESS
by ravindrabajpai on Sep 14, 2007 02:48 PM Permalink
You are right Nitin. Congress continue these all dirty politics. Right now they are planning to divert the public attension from Nuclear Deal. After this ramsethu issue public will forget the Nuclear deal and many other issue and they will smoothly complete there agenda. Also notice how beautifully they brought SONIA GANDHI into the picture now. Posing her as sole problem resolver they will make her image as a lady who really thinks about indians. May be lastly they will give up the Ramsethu project and try to win the HINDU people sympathy also.
So by this they will be able to achieve 2 things :
1. Sonia the Lord on india. 2. Win the HINDU vote-bank indirectly. 3. Divert attension of public from development and core issues.
Long live Sonia Gandhi, Long live Manmohan Singh, Long live Montek Aluwahlia.
These are the architects of the surging India, the economic power that India is today.
If we had depended on the so called other leaders, who created so much of mess(bhikari times), by now we would have borrowing rice from bangladesh, nepal, myanmar, wheat from pakistan, machinery from bhutan,oil from madagascar, toothpaste from china, condoms from papua new ginea, books from tajikstan, daal from sri lanka, aloo from Maldives, COCANUT from KERALA
now next affidevits come form italian govt. 1. hindu is not religion is is only india life style. so you do,nt have option with you to write your religion as HINDU chose ISLAM as Vote Bank or Cristian to Impress Sonia
Mr. Prime Minister(who is we all are confused). But this one really for Sardarji. I think the power of Lord Rama is clear to you , now. It took you to just 24 hours to chant Lord Rama Bhajan to save your face.
Please cancel this Setusamnudaram project for reasons given by geologists and scientists, otherwise be ready for Tsunami killings next time. Don't then you and Baalu run away from this responsibility because if Ram setu is touched there will be havoc like last time there was a havoc after a simple vegetarian Shankaracharya was tortured.
But Jayalalitha being a lady can understand god's order very well and therefore she wants Ram-Setu to be a national heritage and we should focus there instead of focusing every time on Taj Mahal to one minority. I give my open consent that I never and I will never vote for Taj Mahal even for a street level prize.
It's a alarming situation and exhibit how anti hindus are strengthening there web in india. It's obvious that Congress lead UPA is been govern and regulated by anti Hindu element operating outside the india. There motive and agenda is to inflict the radical islam in india and convert it into islamic nation.
Islam and muslims have realize that they can't take great nation of Hindu( Bharat) by force so they are executing the clandestine method to convert our great nation into islamic state.
They so call the contractor and priest of secularism don't see any discernible proof to believe that Lord Ram Sethu bridge was made Lord RAMA.But the same pseudo secularist will shed a crocodile tear if there would have been a similar incident of hurting and injuring the religious feeling of Muslims or Christian. This is a indicator that there are external force who want to eradicate Hindu religion.
They been successful in there mission since they know it's easy to disperse hindus into different social pocket and then rule them. The religion the minority in india are able to vehemently consolidate there position is they are united and vote for the party which support there cause.
We hindu need to understand it's alarming situation and we have to dissolve our petty differences and unitedly select the party which work for the cause of hindus. BJP is the only party which is in the vanguard to protect us.
Let make a pledge that help those who stand for our cause

y r u pointing always Muslims? did any muslims oppose the Ram sethu or adams bridge? common buddy, if you r very much angry on muslim read quran and get to know more about it instead of always blasting.
you follow Ram sethu, we always support you. For a muslim nothing problem with Ram or Ram sethu, it is all politicians playing to get thier vote, instead of blasting them undertand what is Islam.
American Govt says: Islam is one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States today, http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/muslimlife/
you dont follow these terrorist and blame the muslims, there is nothing to do islam with them, they have taken religion to thier hand and creatig problem.
get more information from the iste below: www.islamtomorrow.com/
if you r still angry do what ever you want. nobody cares.
Only personal benefits vision of Congress is the present hazardous crises of this Nation. Day by day these eyeless personalities made this Nation like a South African Country which leads to unemployment and more work with fewer benefits. General publics have to understand the facts of those who act for selling out the soil of the country resulting alacrity to slavery to the national
Who are unaware of the facts that ecology of this Nation is in a dangerous statistics and tsunami, cyclones etc shall gradually suck out our Nation, if we are proceed than an approach of echo friendly measures.
This whole thing is a christian conspiracy hatched in Vatican and carried by its Indian Agent in 10 Janpath. It is an attempt to test how Hindus would react. Hindus anger can be mitigated easily, they will fortget and vote for this christian rulers again and again without shame. Bonus is that of minority votes-with this two paragrahs in the affidavit, the congress party cemented its vote bank of minorities.
It is part of a systematic campiagn of vatican-with attacks on nerve centers of hinduism-religious conversions in Tirumala, reservations to minorities and now attack on Ramayana.
I hope that Indians wake up to care for and preserve their culture, which made democracy in this country possible.
