In Rig-Ved,there is a hymn which
is incredibly close to the information about the speed of light
तथा च स्मर्यते योजनानां सहस्त्रं द्वे द्वे शते द्वे च योजने एकेन निमिषार्धेन क्रममाण नमोऽस्तुते।। -सायण ऋग्वेद भाष्य (१.५ ० .४)
अर्थ- आधे निमेष में 2202 योजन का मार्गक्रमण करने वाले प्रकाश तुम्हें नमस्कार है ।
तथा च स्मर्यते योजनानां सहस्त्रं द्वे द्वे शते द्वे च योजने एकेन निमिषार्धेन क्रममाण नमोऽस्तुते।। -सायण ऋग्वेद भाष्य (१.५ ० .४)
अर्थ- आधे निमेष में 2202 योजन का मार्गक्रमण करने वाले प्रकाश तुम्हें नमस्कार है ।
Meaning- [O light,] bow to you, you who traverse 2,202 yojanas in half a nimesha.. -Sage Sayana 14th AD
Nimisharda = half of a nimisha
In the vedas -
'Yojan' is a unit of - ‘Distance’
and 'Nimisha' is a unit of -‘Time’.
Nimisharda = half of a nimisha
In the vedas -
'Yojan' is a unit of - ‘Distance’
and 'Nimisha' is a unit of -‘Time’.
'Arthasastra' defines A Yojan as being equal to 8,000 dhanus, which is equivalent to 9.09 miles
Means 1 Yojana = 8000 Dhanus = 9,09 miles
1 nimisha = 0.2112 seconds (The wink of an eye is equal to 0.2112 seconds.)
1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 seconds
Means 1 Yojana = 8000 Dhanus = 9,09 miles
1 nimisha = 0.2112 seconds (The wink of an eye is equal to 0.2112 seconds.)
1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 seconds
Thus 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha is equal to - 189,547 miles/second after conversion.
The modern estimate of the speed of light is 186,281.7 miles per second.
Now here comes the Numerical Part,

Now here comes the Numerical Part,
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
Start with Unit of Vedic Time - ‘Nimisha’
The Moksha Dharma Parva of Shanti Parva in Mahabharata describes Nimisha as follows:
1 nimisha = 0.2112 seconds (This is a recursive decimal. The wink of an eye is equal to 0.2112 seconds.)
1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 seconds
The Moksha Dharma Parva of Shanti Parva in Mahabharata describes Nimisha as follows:
1 nimisha = 0.2112 seconds (This is a recursive decimal. The wink of an eye is equal to 0.2112 seconds.)
1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 seconds
15 Nimisha = 1 Kastha
30 Kashta = 1 Kala
30.3 Kala = 1 Muhurta
30 Muhurtas = 1 Diva-Ratri (Day-Night)
We know Day-Night is 24 hours
So we get 24 hours = 30 x 30.3 x 30 x 15 nimisha= 409050 nimisha
We know 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds
30 Kashta = 1 Kala
30.3 Kala = 1 Muhurta
30 Muhurtas = 1 Diva-Ratri (Day-Night)
We know Day-Night is 24 hours
So we get 24 hours = 30 x 30.3 x 30 x 15 nimisha= 409050 nimisha
We know 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds
24 hours = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86,400
So 409,050 nimisha = 86,400 seconds
1 nimisha = 0.2112 sec.
1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 sec.
Now Come to the point -
Unit of Vedic 'Distance' - Yojan’
Yojan is defined in Chapter 6 of Book 1 of the ancient vedic text “Vishnu Puran” as follows
So 409,050 nimisha = 86,400 seconds
1 nimisha = 0.2112 sec.
1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 sec.
Now Come to the point -
Unit of Vedic 'Distance' - Yojan’
Yojan is defined in Chapter 6 of Book 1 of the ancient vedic text “Vishnu Puran” as follows
10 ParamAnus = 1 Parasúkshma
10 Parasúkshmas = 1 Trasarenu
10 Trasarenus = 1 Mahírajas (particle of dust)
10 Mahírajas= 1 Bálágra (hair’s point)
10 Bálágra = 1 Likhsha
10 Likhsha= 1 Yuka
10 Yukas = 1 Yavodara (heart of barley)
10 Yavodaras = 1 Yava (barley grain of middle size)
10 Parasúkshmas = 1 Trasarenu
10 Trasarenus = 1 Mahírajas (particle of dust)
10 Mahírajas= 1 Bálágra (hair’s point)
10 Bálágra = 1 Likhsha
10 Likhsha= 1 Yuka
10 Yukas = 1 Yavodara (heart of barley)
10 Yavodaras = 1 Yava (barley grain of middle size)
10 Yava = 1 Angula (1.89 cm or approx 3/4 inch)
6 fingers = 1 Pada (the breadth of it)
2 Padas = 1 Vitasti (span)
2 Vitasti = 1 Hasta (cubit)
4 Hastas = a Dhanu, a Danda, or pauruSa (a man’s height), or 2Nárikás = 6 feet
6 fingers = 1 Pada (the breadth of it)
2 Padas = 1 Vitasti (span)
2 Vitasti = 1 Hasta (cubit)
4 Hastas = a Dhanu, a Danda, or pauruSa (a man’s height), or 2Nárikás = 6 feet
2,000 Dhanus = 1 Gavyuti (distance to which a cow’s call or lowing can be heard)= 12,000 feet or 3.65 km
4 Gavyutis = 4 X 3.65 = 14.6 km= = 9.07 miles = 1 Yojan
Now we are at the final Part of Calculation of the 'Speed of Light' according to the Rig Ved👇🏼👇🏼
4 Gavyutis = 4 X 3.65 = 14.6 km= = 9.07 miles = 1 Yojan
Now we are at the final Part of Calculation of the 'Speed of Light' according to the Rig Ved👇🏼👇🏼
Afer getting these units of ‘Time’ and ‘Distance’ we can calculate what is the value of the speed of light in modern units based on the value given as 2202 yojanas in 1/2 nimisha
= 2,202 x 9.07 miles per 0.1056 sec.
= 19,972,14 miles per 0.1056 sec.
= 1,89,130.114 miles/sec.
= 2,202 x 9.07 miles per 0.1056 sec.
= 19,972,14 miles per 0.1056 sec.
= 1,89,130.114 miles/sec.
So as per the Rig Ved the speed of light is 189,130.114 miles/second.
And as per Modern Science the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second.
Which is very very close to it!
