17 Sep Many times the truth comes within our grip and then is lost again
About two hundred years before Christ, Aristarchus, a Greek scientist, discovered that the sun is the center of our universe and not the earth. This principle of Aristarchus became known as the heliocentric principle – that the sun is in the center. But afterwards, about 100 A.D., Ptolemy again changed this discovery and said that the earth was the center. After that, it took over one thousand years until Kepler and Copernicus again established that the sun is the center of our universe.
The truth discovered by Aristarchus remained hidden for a very long time, until Copernicus opened the old book of Aristarchus and declared it again – and people were shocked.
Westerners say that America was discovered by Columbus. Oscar Wilde made a joke about it that has become well known when he went to America. He said that America had been discovered much earlier by someone else.
This is true – America was discovered many times and was lost again and again when relations with it were cut off. Someone asked Oscar Wilde, ”If Columbus did not discover it the first time – if it had already been discovered – why did it become lost every time?”
Oscar Wilde jokingly replied, ”He did discover America, it was discovered many times, but every time it was hushed up. Every time it was necessary to keep it quiet, because such a troublesome thing is best forgotten and put away!”
In the Mahabharata epic there are references to America – one of Arjuna’s wives was from Mexico. There are ancient Hindu temples in Mexico with idols of Ganesh chiseled on them.
It happens many times that the truth comes within our grip and then is lost again.
