Intellectual Greats talking India

Bankin' that Ganja right now actually. . . Yeah, what are you on??

Please refer to the link listed below for further commentary from some of the greatest minds of the modern era talking about India. Voltaire: I am convinced that everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganga - Astronomy, Astrology, Spiritualism, etc. It is very important to note that some 2,500 years ago at the least Pythagoras went from Samos to the Ganga to learn Geometry. But he certainly would not have undertaken such a strange journey had the reputation of the Brahmins' science not been long established in Europe. Albert Einstein: We owe a lot to Indians who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. Dr. Lin Yutang: India was China's teacher in religion and imaginative literature, and the world's teacher in Trigonometry, Quadratic Equations, Grammar, Phonetics, Arabian Nights, Animal fables, chess, as well in philosophy, and that she inspired Boccacio, Goethe, Herder, Schopenhauer, Emerson, and probably also old Aesop. Dr. Carl Sagan: Hinduism is the only one of the world's greatest faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the timescales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. Julius Oppenheimer: What we shall find in Modern Physics is an exemplification, an encouragement and a refinement of old Hindu wisdom. Roger-Pol Droit: The Greeks loved so much Indian philosophy that Demetrios Galianos had even translated the Bhagavad Gita. There is absolutely not a shadow of doubt that the Greeks knew all about Indian philosophy.
