Scientific

Errors in
Hinduism

Agniveer
Kindly review What does Agniveer stand for to
understand the overall perspective behind any
article on Agniveer site. Thanks.
A new propaganda
has become popular
over last few months
that is being pursued
aggressively on internet
sites, discussion
groups and social
networking sites. We
have received more than
50 references to this
propaganda through
emails, comments and
messages either in
support of it or with a
request to counter it.
Simply type “Scientific
Errors in Hinduism”
and you shall get a huge
number of results on
this.

this to be a childish

considering the average
mental aptitude of those
trying to demean Vedas
to establish a medieval

necessary to issue a
rebuttal.
The original text comes
in different variations
but essentially provides
a few mantras from
Vedas and some
other tall claims to
showcase Hinduism
as unscientific. We are
attaching a sample copy

b. Jihadi Claim:
The God who made the
earth stable (Yajur Ved
32/6)
Agniveer:
Unfortunately the
scientist who wrote this
could not distinguish
between stable and
static. Anything that
moves or stays in
equilibrium as per
defined laws is stable
and when there is an
element of randomness
or unpredictability it
becomes unstable.
Stability DOES NOT
mean lack of motion.
By the way, this is a
celebrated Mantra

and means: May we

the sun and other
illuminating bodies,
the earth, the heavenly
bodies and the entire
universe solely for our
happiness and who
provides us ultimate
bliss after Mukti or
salvation.
Very clearly the mantra
says that all heavenly
bodies are stable
include sun. Thus even
by wildest stretch of
“Heavenly”imagination
one cannot bring such
a ridiculous meaning to
this mantra that implies
earth as being static.
c. Jihadi Claim:
Indra protects the
wide earth which is
immovable and has
many forms (Atharv Ved
12/1/11)
Agniveer:
This is the mantra from
the famous Bhumi Sukta
which forms the origin
of the sense of love that
patriots demonstrate for
Dharti Mata. When one
reads this Sukta today
considering how our
freedom fighters would
die for this soil and often
carrying this soil in
hand till last breath, one
cannot help getting his
eyes wet with sense of
gratitude towards those
great legends whose
debts we have to repay
through our deeds.
The particular mantra
means: O Earth, you
provide me with great
snow-capped mountains
and hills, forests, farms,
food, herbs and rains
so that I am always
happy, protected and
nurtured. You provide
me the support I need to
live like a king.The next
mantra continues – You
are my mother, O Earth,
and I am your son. You
4 agniveer.com
purify us and may we
be able to repay your
blessings through our
noble actions.
What could be a better
thought on love for
mother earth! But
perhaps patriotism
and allegiance to soil is
alien to Jihadi mindsets.
That is why this is so
unscientific for them!
d. Jihadi Claim:
Let us walk on the Wide
and Static earth (Atharv
Ved 12/1/17)
Agniveer:
Actual meaning: “May
we travel all around the
earth that provides us
prosperity, nutrition,
medicines and supports
us in a variety of ways.
The foolish Jihadi just
saw the word “Dhruva”
and started imagining
silly things. “Dhruva”
means something
that provides reliable
support.
On contrary there
are several mantras
in Vedas that clearly
discuss the movement of
earth. Some examples:
Rig Veda 10.22.14
“This earth is devoid of
hands and legs, yet it
moves ahead. All the
objects over the earth
also move with it. It
moves around the sun.
Rig Veda 10.149.1
“The sun has tied Earth
and other planets
through attraction and
moves them around
itself as if a trainer
moves newly trained
horses around itself
holding their reins.”
Yajur Veda 33.43
Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas. 5
“The sun moves in
its own orbit in space
taking along with itself
the mortal bodies like
earth through force of
attraction.”
Rig Veda 1.35.9
“The sun moves in its
own orbit but holding
earth and other heavenly
bodies in a manner that
they do not collide with
each other through force
of attraction.
Rig Veda 1.164.13
“Sun moves in its orbit
which itself is moving.
Earth and other bodies
move around sun due
to force of attraction,
because sun is heavier
than them.

Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas. 7
This is exactly what
happens in reality. Even
the most basic text on
astronomy would cover
this subject. Actually
Jihadi scriptures had
no notion of the concept
of gravitational force
causing Jihadi scientists
to raise a red-herring on
this.
