SANATANA & SCIENCE by Pankaj Lochan

A Beginner’s Guide for a journey into depths of Sanatana Dharma
This is the author's eleventh book, and the first of his new series on  Sanatana Education. The book is about rediscovering the timeless wisdom of Sanatana Dharma and restoring pride in India’s lost heritage.
For too long, many followers of Sanatana Dharma have lacked access to a simple yet profound understanding of their own civilization. This book serves as a beginner-friendly guide, offering a clear and accessible journey through the antiquity, philosophy, and scientific contributions of ancient India.
Divided into three parts, the book takes readers on a journey through the rich and ancient legacy of Sanatana Dharma. The first part establishes the deep antiquity of the Sanatana-vedic civilization, tracing its roots from the Rig-Vedic era  to its immense contributions to the world’s economy, culture, and knowledge systems. It critically examines historical misreporting and colonial distortions that have downplayed India’s role in shaping the global civilization of today.
The second part delves into the Sanatana way of life, exploring its spiritual and cultural dimensions, the structure of its educational and philosophical traditions, and the wisdom embedded in its scriptures. It highlights how this dharmic way of life fostered a society that valued knowledge, innovation, and holistic well-being.
The third part unveils the pioneering scientific achievements of ancient India in fields such as astronomy, physics, mathematics, medicine, metallurgy, engineering, and architecture, many of which predate modern Western discoveries by centuries or even millennia. From advanced surgical techniques and flying machines to sophisticated astronomical calculations and innovations in physics and chemistry, this section showcases the unparalleled contributions of India’s ancient scholars.
By challenging historical distortions and reclaiming the forgotten brilliance of Sanatana-vedic civilization, this book seeks to restore the rightful place of India’s contributions in world history and inspire a new generation to take pride in their heritage.
