Hinduism : The World's oldest, Wealthiest and Technologically Advanced Religion.

Hinduism is the world's oldest and most technologically advanced religion. Hinduism has no definite starting point. Today with a 1.35 billion (approx) population, Hinduism is the third-largest religion and more than 95% of Hindus live in India. Hinduism or Hindu-dharma is also known as Sanatana Dharma (सनातनधर्म). Sanatana means eternal and Dharma means roles and responsibilities of a person. 

There are many misconceptions about Hindu Gods and most of them are not true. Hindu people worship different gods for different things for instance God Vayu for fresh air, God Agni for fire, Goddess Lakshmi for wealth, God Indra for rain, and so on. Apart from this, there are 3 principal gods Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Brahma. They are also known as Tri-Murti or Tri-Dev .

Technology 

Ram Setu

Have you ever seen giant stones floating in the ocean? You might be wondering how is it even possible. This thing is beyond the comprehension of modern science. But Lord Rama did it by making a bridge of stones on the sea and that bridge is known as Ram Setu. Ram Setu connects Pamban Island in Tamil Nadu to Mannar Island in Sri Lanka. There is an interesting thing about our culture that what we say sounds fictitious but it does exist. Scientists from all over the world are researching about RamDetu but till now they could not find anything.

Indian Temples

Padmanabhaswamy temple

There is a temple in India known as Padmanabhaswamy temple. It’s a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu located in Thiruvananthapuram, the state capital of Kerala, India.

 

This is after all the wealthiest temple in the world. The Supreme Court of India and its seven-member committee have already inaugurated six of the secret vaults and have found at a depth of 20 feet underground approximately $22 billion in treasure. In an inventory list from August 2014, Vault A contained 2,000 pounds of gold coins, dating to around 200 B.C

There is another Vault B or Chamber B which is considered by Astrologers of India, as highly mysterious, sacred, and too dangerous to unveil. The enormous steel door of Chamber B has two massive cobras painted on it and has no bolts, latches, or any other means of entry.

But that is where the problem starts, nobody wants to dare open the hidden inner sanctum. A door of such a secret vault is known to be opened only by a high-level ‘SADHUS’ familiar with the knowledge of chanting a ‘GARUDA MANTRA.' It is believed that if anyone with modern technology opens the vault disasters are likely to occur in and around the Temple and throughout India and quite possibly the world.

Golden Bird

India was the wealthiest nation in the world before the British invasion. When the whole world was practicing the barter system, India was one of the first countries to develop coins based trade. There was a balanced population and sufficient food for everyone. Gurukuls and madrassas used to give education to students. Trade was at its peak and agriculture was rich. In the 17th century, India was the principal exporter of textiles, spices, pearls, sugar, iron weapons, and countless other things. Our contribution to the global economy was somewhere around 25% (approx).

During Pre Mughal Rule (1AD – 1500AD), India was the world’s largest economy during the years 1 AD and 1000 AD. In 1500 AD India’s economy had a 24.5% share of world income, the second largest in the world after China, which had a 25% share. India was so rich that its temple's walls were carved with precious stones.

 

At the time of Mughal Rule (1570-1793), the Momentum of India continues. In 1600 AD. India’s income of £17.5 million was greater than the entire treasury of Great Britain in 1800, which totaled £16 million. Perceptible decline starts after 1700. During the East India Company era (1793-1857), India's GDP becomes 40% of China’s GDP. India missed the industrial revolution and it slipped further. At the time of the British Raj (1860-1947), India's share of world income collapsed from 22.6 % in 1700 to as low as 3.8% in 1952.
