Drugs used for Surgery in Ancient Bharat

Strong liquor ( तीक्ष्ण मद्य ) and Cannabis indica ( भांग ) were used to keep patients unconscious / non sensetive to the pain happened during Surgery ( शल्य ).

As per Sushruta Samhita Sutrasthana 17.11 & Ashtanga Hridaya Sutrasthana 27.15 - these things must be given in order to avoid pain , but only to those who aren't able to resist this and to those who drink.

Charak Samhita Sutrasthana 4.47 talks about some plant derivatives from ( अशोक , कदंब , शाल , पुन्नाग etc. ) which can be used as Analgesics ( वेदनास्थापन औषधि ).

Similarly Sushruta Samhita Sutrasthana 6.41 talks about using Liquorice ( यष्टीमधुका / मुलहठी ) with Clarified Butter ( घृत ) as Liniment to get relief from pain from Surgery.

I feel a sense of pride after knowing Why Bharat was called Vishwaguru in ancient times !!! 🙏🙏

How many of you were aware about this ?

AstraVerse in Ancient Bharat : Part 5

Vashishta dhanurveda , one of the oldest treatise on Dhanurveda , the upaveda of Yajurveda ; mentions :

Nalika : Metallic arrows which were shot with the help of a tubular bodied metal instrument called नलयंत्र.
They are used from a distance and help in defending the fort.

Shataghni : Cannons ; these were used on the front entrance of the fort.
Also mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana while describing the defense system of Ravana's Lanka in Sundarkanda & and in Shalya and Drona parva of Mahabharata war.

Additionally , Cannonballs , Ammo and Gunpowder is also kept nearby to defend the fort and kingdom from enemies.

Listen , these were all primitive type. Do not confuse them with modern high tech weapons.

On the antiquity of the text ; Vashisht Dhanurveda cannot be assigned after 10th century. It must be at least before this.

फिर भी कुछ लोग कहेंगे कि भारत इन चीज़ों का आविष्कारक नहीं था । बारूद 14वीं सदी के बाद आया I

Valmiki Ramayan Sundarkand 4.18-23

Mentions Vajrastra , Catapult ( क्षेपणी , गुलेल ) and Cannons ( शतघ्नी ).

अब कुछ विशेष वर्ग के लोग बोलेंगे की वाल्मीकि रामायण में यह सब मिलावट है । अस्त्र-शस्त्र विद्या सब काल्पनिक गपोड़ें हैं । 😭😭😭

खैर छोड़ो मुझे किसी के साथ जबरदस्ती नहीं करनी । किसी के मानने न मानने से सत्य परिवर्तित होने वाला नहीं है ‌। 😂😂

Behavior of Brahmins as described by Apollonius of Tyana !!

Apollonius came to Bharat around 1900 years back. He described that there are two sects of philosopher/sages in Bharat:
1. Brahmins
2. Hyrcanians [ hylobioi sarmanes possibly ]

He was talking to an Indian who asked him " What do you think about us Apollonius ? Do you think we know more than yourself ? "

Apollonius replied - " I consider your Lore [ knowledge ] is more deep , advanced and divine than us { Greeks }.
If I learnt nothing from here , this means I have learnt everything. "

He literally said that knowledge of Bharat is most superior of all , even so much that he don't even need to learn anything if he didn't learn something from here.

Apollonius stayed with Brahmins for 4 months. He learned about their all philosophies , even the secretive ones.

When he was going back , Brahmins give him guide , camels embraced him and declared - " Whether alive or dead you will be treated just like a god by all since after you attain knowledge. "

स्त्रियों के सर्वोत्कृष्ट अधिकार : बाइबल v/s वैदिक

1 Timothy 2.12

एक स्त्री को पुरुष के सामने पूर्ण समर्पण कर देना चाहिए । मैं नहीं चाहता कि स्त्री पुरुष को कोई भी शिक्षा दे या उस पर अधिकार करें । स्त्री को चुप ही रहना चाहिए ।

यजुर्वेद ८.४३

हे पत्नी/स्त्री ! तुम हमें अच्छी शिक्षाएं दो । हमें धर्म के मार्ग पर अग्रसर करो । हे वेदों तथा धर्म को जानने वाली नारी ! सृष्टि में सभी स्त्री पुरुषों उत्तम शिक्षा देकर उनको पाप और अधर्म के मार्ग से दूर ले जाओ । हे सरस्वती , हे कल्याणी ! बालको और कन्याओं सहित हम सभी का कल्याण करो ।

मेरा येशु येशु : भाग 8
हिंसात्मक कर्म कहाँ ? बाइबिल या वैदिक ?

Leviticus 1. 5-9

यहोवा को प्रसन्न करने के लिए एक जवान बैल की बलि चढ़ाना, जहाँ हारून के पुत्र याजक ने उनका खून वेदी पर फैलाया।
तुम्हें मरे हुए बैल की खाल उतारनी होगी और उसके टुकड़े करने होंगे, फिर पुजारी उसकी चर्बी, सिर और टुकड़ों को आग के लिए चुनी गई लकड़ियों में जला देगा। तब तुम्हें उसके भीतरी अंग और पैरों को पानी से धोना चाहिए और पुजारी इसे आग में जला देगा।
इसे होमबलि कहा जाता है, जो यहोवा को प्रसन्न करने के लिए एक सुगंध है । 🤢🤮

Mahabharat Shanti Parva 265. 8-9

यदि कोई कहता है कि जानवरों की बलि देना और उनका मांस खाना धर्म है, तो यह सही नहीं है क्योंकि कोई भी ऐसे धर्म की प्रशंसा नहीं करता है { यहां धर्म कर्म के आदर्श का प्रतीक है } ।

वेदों में ऐसा कोई अनुष्ठान नहीं है जहां सुरा, शराब, मांस, मछली, मधु [ मैरेय शराब ] और काले तिल का उपयोग करने के लिए कहा गया हो। ये सब मूर्ख लोगों ने अपने लालच को पूरा करने के लिए शुरू किया था ।
