Decoding Ṛig-Veda
For the Knowledge of Science

by Radhika Raman Prasad Sinha
Formatted for publication by:
Prabhakar Aloka, Amitabh Divakar, and Binita Sinha-Sharma

This book is dedicated to those who would like to decode the hymns of Ṛig-Veda and understand the scientific principles hidden. The Rishis, in a state of super-consciousness, observed the laws of nature and its underlying scientific principles. They presented the observations in hymns with simple words but deep in meaning.

We knew the world would not be the same. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince to do his duty, and to impress him taken on his multi-armed form and says, “if the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be the splendor of the mighty one. Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
— Oppenheimer after the success of the Trinity test

“The truth came to the Rishis of India—the Mantradrastas, the seers of thought—and will come to all Rishis in the future, not to talkers, not to book swallowers, not to scholars, not to philologists, but to seers of thought. They had hundreds of Rishis in ancient India. We will have millions in modern India.”
— Swami Vivekananda

The rising Sun improves eyesight and tones up heart and mind. This period of Usha is for growth and expansion of energy, intellect and all that is good for human health. This hour is called Brahm Bela, meaning the hour of Brahma.

Radhika Raman Prasad Sinha
Radhika Raman Prasad Sinha (1937-2008)

Radhika Raman Prasad Sinha was born on May 26, 1937, at old Patna City in the vicinity of Patna Sahib Gurudwara in the Bihar state, India. The eldest son of Sri. Gorakh Prasad and Smt. Umraoti Devi, he spent his childhood at ancestral villages with maternal and paternal grandparents and extended family.

Radhika Raman received his early education in Daltonganj, Bihar. After completing post-secondary education from St. Xaviers College, Ranchi, joined the Bihar Institute of Technology, Sindri, and specialized in electrical engineering. Received his Guru Diksha at the age of eighteen and after completing his engineering at a young age of twenty-one taught at Patna Engineering College before joining the Bihar State Electricity Board. Retired in 1996 as General Manager cum Chief engineer of Patna Electric Supply Undertaking (PESU).

He had deep love and respect for natures’ creations and enjoyed travelling. One of his reports “Bhimbandh – A Paradise Undiscovered” extensively documented the natural hot-springs of Bhimbandh in eastern Bihar. As a hobby, he also practiced astrology with an objective of finding correlation between planetary positions in ones horoscope and health.

But it was his quest for scientific meaning behind rituals and customs that eventually led him to an in-depth study of the ancient Indian scriptures particularly the Vedas. He spent his post-retirement period in Patna researching the Vedas.

He left for heavenly abode at dusk (Godhuli vela) sitting on his ‘asana’ at his favorite spot in the garden on March 2, 2008. He is survived by his wife Mrs. Vidya Sinha, two sons, a daughter, and two grandsons. This book is published posthumously based on the manuscript he had completed.
