Something Cool

This is an interesting passage from the Chhandogya Upanishad. Here he refers to the sun.

"The sun never sets or rises. When people think to themselves the sun is setting, he only changes about after reaching the end of the day, and makes night below and day to what is on the other side. Then when people think he rises in the morning, he only shifts himself about after reaching the end of the night, and makes day below and night to what is on the other side. In fact he never sets at all."

that's a good find..i remember reading a passage frm another text that says abt gravity..don't remember which text exactly..
u should probably check out
*brihadaranyaka upanishad
*taittireya upanishad
they have some refined thoughts abt karmas and relationships..

in the devi-mahatmyam i found a whole chapter on anatomy..it's mentioned that blood is created frm the bone marrow and similar facts..there's no translation given..my grandma explained it to me..
