When we look up at the pole star, we think it's fixed and assume its always been in the same place. That is not so. Because the Earth wobbles, a phenomenon known as precession. Which changes the sky regularly.
Today it's the Polaris at 'pole position' but a few thousand years, it was a different star.
Our Vishnu Purana places Dhruv within the Shishumara, the Draco constellation. Modern astronomy confirms this would have been true... but around 4,500 years ago! That was the peak of the Indus Valley Civilisation!
Dr. Rao's research points out that whoever wrote those lines in the Vishnu Puran was looking at the sky at that period of time, which is during the Mature Harappan Civilisation!
Our Puranas are not just stories. They are the oldest astronomical data logs ever recorded.
One year since the Pahalgam massacre, 26 innocent people were murdered by Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists sponsored from Pakistan. The victims were identified by their religion and killed. Terrorism that targets people for their faith is an attack on all of humanity. #Pahalgam
