NOT Newton “ACHARYA KANAND”FIRST Discovered “LAW OF MOTION”
Vaishesika Sutras by “Kanada”(Sanskrit: कणाद ) describe Laws of Motion & Concept of Atom

Vaisheshika or Vaiśeṣika is one of the six Hindu schools of philosophy in Ancient Vedic India.
Maharshi Kanada was ancient Indian scientist,sage and philosopher who founded the “Philosophical school of Vaisesika” and authored the text Vaisesika Sutras or Aphorisms. He pioneered atomic theory, described dimension,motion,chemical reactions of atoms between 600 and 200 BCE.
He theorized that Gurutva (Gravity) is responsible for the falling of objects on the Earth.
Thus, he was the first person to identify and describe gravity (Long Before Newton)

“Vaishesika Sutras” proposed approx 1800 years before Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
Kanada First Law Of Motion
वेगः निमित्तविशेषात कर्मणो जायते |
Translation : Change of motion is due to impressed force.
(The law stated that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an
Kanada First Law Of Motion
वेगः निमित्तविशेषात कर्मणो जायते |
Translation : Change of motion is due to impressed force.
(The law stated that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an
object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.)
Second Law Of Motion
वेगः निमित्तापेक्षात कर्मणो जायते नियतदिक क्रियाप्रबन्धहेतु |
Translation : Change of motion is proportional to the impressed force and is in the direction of the force.
वेगः निमित्तापेक्षात कर्मणो जायते नियतदिक क्रियाप्रबन्धहेतु |
Translation : Change of motion is proportional to the impressed force and is in the direction of the force.
Third Law Of Motion
वेगः संयोगविशेषविरोधी |
Translation : Action and reaction are equal and opposite.
वेगः संयोगविशेषविरोधी |
Translation : Action and reaction are equal and opposite.
Adi Shankaracharya who lived around 460 BCE, also wrote in his commentary on the Upanishads:
“If the divinity of the earth would not pull down this body by supporting “apana,” this body would have floated anywhere in space.”
“If the divinity of the earth would not pull down this body by supporting “apana,” this body would have floated anywhere in space.”
( Apana is the force equivalent to gravity, present in the middle of the body. )
