Hey NRI, how much did you get paid?

This video made me realise why my Physics teacher always told "Writing answer without UNIT is always wrong..." True legend keep going

This is like our high school physics lab where we knew the results and we were trying to fit the readings to arrive at the known result 😀

"When you look at Hercules you don't question his strength but only admire the poetry" And it's legit a poem ❤️

I facepalmed myself when in the movie he says "Hanuman Chalisa jaisi pracheen kitaab". The HC was written in the 16th century in the Awadhi language of UP (not Sanskrit, contrary to what many believe). The 16th century is not "pracheen" at all. It's very much considered modern history.

I want to add that mathematicians and scientists of India like Aryabhatta, who wrote on the specific subject of astronomy got to the value of distance between the sun and Earth which was inaccurate by several degrees, but Tulasi Das who neither was a scientist or mathematician or astronomer nor he was writing something on astronomy, gives an accurate value. There is no sense in that.

distance = speed x time According to Hanuman Chalisa distance = time x distance x 1000🤯

This is basically what I told my friends when I was asked about this. Specially, the unit being incorrect is far bigger a blow to this theory than people realize it. 12000 years is also 144000 months, so why don't use that number? Or maybe call it 1000 dozen years!!! You can convert it into so many values, the answer completely changes! For a Mathematician/ Physician, this theory is completey stupid just based on the fact that units don't match!!

Amazing mahn! not only you debunk the misconceptions but also teach and provide explanation for actual methods and how we were able to do it! thats what I really appreciate about you. keep it up! ignore all the hate and keep being awsome!

I am also bhakt of lord hanuman but thanks for the video 😇😇 kudos to your research ✌🏼 jai bajrangbali 🙏🏻

So they changed the unit of yojana in the Hanumanchalisa to make it correct and match the modern value. That's like a school student changing his 9 marks to 90 marks.

When such devotional texts were written, i doubt anyone thought that it would someday be possible to verify such metrics. It was mostly meant as a placeholder for a great distance or a massive size to put things in perspective within that literary context. While i absolutely admire you Pranav for putting in massive effort for such content, i believe that there are very few 'fence sitters' in this specific regard. Most of your viewers are ones who anyway don't take such things at face value and a much smaller portions who will defend it tooth and nail. Sorry for the long post, just wanna say keep it up! Science is dope :)

Appreciate your efforts brother. Our country had a long tradition of complete materialists, agnostics and non-believers (charvakas). But time and time again political and religious groups had destroyed that philosophy and the texts associated with it. If those texts of ancient atheists/agnostics were still around we would have debunked a lot of misconceptions.

Thanks for Accepting request and bringing this. You doing great work hope your channel reaches to more audience Thank you.

You should recommend books and shows to build interest science and critical thinking.

It makes me very happy to see your work. When I was in school I obsessively watched a KZfaq channel called "It's okay to be smart" which is now named "Be smart". It's host created such good content that I found myself immersed in the world of science all day long. At that time there were no Indian KZfaq channels creating content similar to his. But now there is. Your content has differences but it still is rigorous in its research just as those American channels are. Hope your channel keeps growing and contributing to a scientifically literate India.

Very informative and will use your video to teach people about parallax and solar measurements. No other video I could find was as concise, accurate, and straightforward as yours

just the time pranav uses to produce videos itself shows how much he puts the effort in research. Not like our ayurveda youtubers who read few pages and make new claims every other day.

I knew parallax was coming , i have studied it in basics of physics in 11th .

The reality is that people who believe in supernatural things dont have to do anything with reality and science , even if they are presented with a proof they will still deny it , as evident from this comment section .

You always go the extra mile. Thanks for such a thorough explanation. Cheers man!

I can already tell how much this video is gonna piss off people and I'm here for it

12000 yug x 1000sahstra x 8yojan mile= 96000000 96000000x1.6 =153,600,000km Distance to sun=149,600,000km Difference=4,000,000km Satyug= 17,28,000 Tretayug= 12,96,000 Dvapuryug= 864,000 Kalyug= 432,000 None of them are 12000. And they're multiplying time to distance.

A lot of believers nowadays try to connect culture and tradition (here Hanuman Chalisa) to science to prove atheists that they are superior. They can’t just keep culture as culture and try to shove nonsense reasoning behind everything into others throat. Great video man… Will love to see more such videos.

Bro you are absolutely telling the truth. I am myself a sanatani and i have researched on these topics. The verse actually means "Moving towards the sun which is innumerable/thousands of miles away, with ease as you thought it to be a sweet fruit". And the meaning of sahasra can be translated to both thousands or innumerable. And the meaning of yuga is unification. Some people use this as a proof to show how santan is the truth. But there are texts like aryabhattiya and surya sidhantha which give a logical explanation to find out the distance, diameter, velocity etc of the grahas.

Mannnnn I really wanted this vid!!! 😂I've never been this excited for any vid coz I have had enough of this.😂Cant wait man. Luv ur vids!

The context of Hanuman chalisa is spiritual, why the hell do people want distance of sun and earth in it, XD

To those of you who're waiting to get offended, explaining science doesn't equate to attacking a religion. Please grow up.

Science is not just dope its hope too!!

Intern : what is recursion ? Senior : Distance = Distance x time

Said it in the chat will say it here too; Gen Z wants to validate their religious beliefs with science so they don't feel bad about being religious, it's still some crazy mental gymnastics they have to do in order to achieve that and sadly many grifters are taking advantage of this. All the debunking is well and good but the problem is deep rooted with personal identity and lack of purpose in modern Indian society.

Let’s pretend for a moment that Hanuman chaalisa is actually correct about the distance. The Hanuma chalisa is said to composed in 16th century. But no original manuscripts exist for it from 16th century. It is a chalisa. that can be recited in 10 minutes. Yet not even 150 year old manuscript exist for it. On the other hand we still have original handwritten notebooks by Christian Huygens who was the earliest person to come close to the modern known value of distance to sun. Those notebooks are still part of Leiden University archives. We still have 300+ year old palm leaf manuscripts of actual mathematical and astronomical work from Kerala-school mathematicians, no one of them refers to this distance calculation method as in Hanuman Chalisa. Hanuman Chalisa is not a ‘pracheen’ kitaab as claimed by many.

Fiction will always be fiction

You explained the methodology and then debunked the myth…. I don’t know if everyone will get this… but I understood as I am a regular viewer of yours… keep doing this kind of stuff 👍🏻. Great Video as always

I think i was waiting for this kind of video🙏Thanks for this content. Lots of support and love brother.

Just yesterday this friend of mine who is an mtech from IIT was trying to convince me on this. But after that he started talking about advanced ancient civilizations and thei super advanced tech and some dumb quantum time travel and aliens so i just went back home 🤷🏻‍♂️. And apparently this is very common in these it bros in Bengaluru. They see little videos about science and start making up theories without doing the math 😅

first they will find science in religion then they will reject science completely

Bro your video editing has improved a lot looking forward to see more

Finally someone addressed this. And as always again a good video and excellent work. Just keep making videos like this.

I ate the Moon 🌝 500000000 years Ago .... Believe Me ...

There is a channel named 'Project Shivoham'. He made a video on the same topic. Project shivoham makes videos on spirituality and hinduism. So if you think that Pranav (Science is Dope) has some anti-hindu ajenda, then you can watch Project Shivoham's video on this topic.

Please discuss about that Hanuman ji eating the sun .

hey!! answer this-1.what about the immense gravitational field created by hanuman if he became so large to put sun in his mouth it would have disturbed the entire solar system 2. monkeys dont fly 3.how can someone be so stupid to think its a fruit ( even a kid) 4.why he went to sun ( fruit) in the first place if he can have even more fruits nearby on his own planet

Seriously, the research you did is mind blowing, thanks for this information. I still remeber a cartoon during COVID where the main 3 religious priest were standing behind a scientist and it reads "religious ppl are waiting the cure to be discovered to claim that it was alreday written in their HOLY BOOKS" 😂. Keep it up, i gonna download this, who know they might take this down. 😏. Keep it up brother 👍💪😍😍😍

That hanuman sun eating story is peak fiction. I mean whoever thought of this story is legendary because his story is now believed by millions 😂😂😂😂

I think best way to tell if the if Tulsi Das was right or not is by getting what was the value of Yuga and Yojna during Mughals time. Taking surya samantha or Ashoka would be metrices for tulsi das would be highly inaccurate. Why? Simply because there was difference of more than 500 years. Plus most Indian universities like in Nalanda or Taxila or records existing had been burned or destroyed during Sultanats and Mughal eras. I think alot of research hasn't been done to in Hindu in scriptutes and artifacts related to hindi faith as for other religion. Most of our findins and translation we have till now is based on British- archaeological findings.

Science is truly dope ! Thank you so much for this level of content and research

I was waiting for this video for a long time... i have also mentioned this topic on your discord also.. Really nice video even though what you have showed in the video to debunk the theory, i have already read it but i have my doubts whether they were correct or not as I m not from a science background.

Its not pseudoscience just imagine why would Tulsidas mention the units of distance in a poem and thats not only coincidence it is mentioned in a place where hanuman was going towards the sun and moreover yuga is termed as 12000 years (not divine years)to make a proper rhyme as there no proper term for 12k years.Your videos just shows how hinduism gives a close challenge to all the scientist.For your info in hinduism it is mentioned that there are 64 dimensions and lord krishna had already explained the concept of multiverse way more than 5000 years if you can you can make videos on that also.moreover even you consider the value of yojana from 5-8 it will change the value only by certain kms

Science cannot explain everything.......It is still in its evolving state .......Roz naye naye theories aate rehte hai..... Bhaiya ek baar ved padho.....unme bahut advanced mathematics explained hai Sanskrit sloks me...... If you see at our ancient temples , you can surely notice beautiful geometry and many unbelievable carvings......wo sab dekh kr lagega ki hamare ancestors must be mathematics and architecture genius.......their is geometry in each and every ancient Hindu temple....... Please watch Praveen Mohan once......he is a great researcher....

forget about sun distance, the idea of a flying ape that could eat a sun itself is so bogus, don’t forget the person transforming into deer to lure sita or the half human half elephant ganesha, these are mythological creatures and should be treated as such

Boy! I watched all ur videos today and today was the first day I ever watched ur videos! I am a hindu but loved all the debunking! Keep doing ur great work. We need rationality!

It is hard to believe that this is just a coincidence, as the verse isn't just a random mix of words but specifically refers to the sun. The fact there is no calculation to back the value or the units don't match up is a different thing.

The more I watch your video the more I get surprised how this claims are made by some pseudo science people and how much effort you put to save us the misinformation, much love sir 🔥❤️.

The writer of hanuman chalisa even know the Unit of distance to measure distance in the Universe which is Light Year according to science nowadays. YUGA means unit of time used to measure a long period of time . here yuga used as light years to measure. Sahastra means 1000 times YOGAN used for measure of long distance at earth. They just gave a hint in units not the exact numbers of distance. As they believe that distance between earth and sun changes during orbital revolving.

Thanks a lot for this. As usual, you've made me more aware.🙂

Keep it up bhaiya💟,you are really explaining science correctly on the basis of real and proven informations, without violating philosophical aspects of Vedas and religion you are talking about actual science,though I'm a big devotee of Lord Hanuman,I do agree with your words,after all units and measurement methods are important.

The main concern with ancient texts is that most of us haven't read them fully so we just keep coming up with half researched facts . And many of those text have been burnt by the foreign rulers here. I didn't believed the hanuman chalisa fact but things like grutvakarshan (gravitation) is really something calculated and well defined in our texts way before newton.

Pranav, i really like your work but the way you go on with them people may think that the writers of these books intended to misguide people but i dont think it happened, the books are pure literaure and it is misinterpreted now and compared to scientific value.Moreover our hindu culture is basesd on philosophy ,literature etc and not on the materialistic discoveries. Would definitely love it if you please add this point.

tulsidas wrote this book when he was captured and imprisoned by mughal/turk emperor, for latter felt offended on account of failure on the part of former to become soothsayer for that emperor. He/tulsidas was jailed and then he got the ideo to stay motivated by writing on the god he is fan of. This book is devotional/emotional song, writer by a devotee. It was never written from the angle of measuring distance

Few points I want to highlight. 0) Tulsidas wrote in Awadhi between, late 15CE - early 16CE. जुग सहस्त्र जोजन पर भानू। लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू।। The language is Awadhi, spoken in UP Awadh region. Cassini discovered the distance around 1670 (late 16CE). Considering, India was quite good at mathematics especially in Geometry, I believe that, there would have been some calculations done in India Subcontinent, which was actually quoted by Tulsidas. It can be a period of 100-200 years. There is a history of Europeans, stealing literary work and destroying history of their colonies. So it can be a case. 1) Issue with assumption @8:37 The book simply assumes different yuga's as Golden, Bronze, Silver and Iron ages. This brings me to 2nd point, 2) The original book was published in year 1935 (Before Independence), copy is in University of Calcutta. Writer, is of English Origin. The book is written by Rev. EBENEZER BURGESS a Formerly Missionary of the A.B.C.F.M. (American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions) in India. You want me to believe on a translation of a Missionary. Isn't that contradictory. A missionary, really. One who believes, earth is flat. How could you belive on such translations. Offcoure the book has been cited by a Mathematician, but wait, a Mathematician, and Sanskrit, they don't go along. 3) Yojan: The unit Mile has quite a history of change. Read it here: www.britannica.com/science/mile Now comming to the thing, surya sidhanta mentions it as 5 miles, some mention it as 4 mile, some mention it as 8 miles, some as 6. The thing is that, we exacltly don't know, what was the acceptable value of mile at the time it was written. The Question why it is written as just 1 yojan. If they were just estimating randomly, it could have been 10, 43, or half yojan, 100. There are n number of possibilities. Why it is written as 1200. Even If they are fitting values, how come values mentioned in past, fits. Like, what is the probability, that we use some values from past to fit a narative. 4) Yuga's have different values, with respect to the yuga in which you are. 1200 * 360 is clearly mentioned as 'Total Duration of a yuga'. When you are multiplying it with 360.... it is a the duration of a yuga, i.e., total solar year in a yuga. Kali yuga is basically 1200 divine Years (Yuga). I am open for a discussion on this topic. Hope you do some in depth research. I too seek Truth.

Please debunk more pseudoscience. I love your channel

1 Yojan = 13km(approx). 1600 Yojan = 20800 km. That's a big big difference. There is a big difference between being proud of our culture and becoming complacent, irrational to support something. The arguments made are what we used to do in school where we manufactured calculations to fit the answer. The translations, definitions change as per convenience to support a point. Think rationally and critically people.

Well explained! I was hoping you'd mention or perhaps hinted at the works of Aristarchus of Samos, an ancient Greek astronomer (310 -  230 BC). His attempt to calculate the distance to Sun using the concept of Solar Parallax, documented in the egyptian copy from Alexandria "On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon" [Περὶ μεγεθῶν καὶ ἀποστημάτων]

Thank you for this wonderful video Pranav. Now I can sing hanuman chalisa with devotion without thinking about its scientific relevance and stuff. BTW, the dimensional analysis was great! You rock as always👏👏

Hello sir ! Kindly consider to make videos in hindi or other indian languages so that more peoples specially rular who actually need this kind of knowledge can get benefit

I don't know why people are not able to get this and blindly believing, absorbing everything. Distance = speed*time 6th class physics. Now, Why shall I multiply even at 1st place, even if I did multiply when I have learnt that Distance=S*T, why should I multiply Time again and again to get distance. It's basics...So what we are doing here, fooling ourselves. Why do we succumb to such things, how can we forget basics and blindly believe everything. And as a Hindu I never ever in my life expect or want to see scientific facts in religious scriptures because science means research and analysis and hypothesis. Religion is a belief it's a path to be chosen to lead a better life. They're both different things and better if not mixed up...

It does not matter how long a yojana should be. What matters is what their hypothesis is i.e. how much yojana can light cover in a specific amount of time. Taking yojana as 9, it gives a good estimate of the speed as what matters in the end is the ratio. If we consider yojana as 8, then time taken to cover that yojana would be less or in physics terms, more yojana would be covered in 1 second however the speed would still be the same. Moving on, we still cannot ignore the possibility that they already knew the distance from earth to sun and they just took 3 convenient values to represent that distance. Maybe the original hindu research paper was destroyed so we'll never know their logic, but still, we know that they had an almost accurate value. Chew on that. Great video!!!

Let's look at this formula from unit perspective, for example Distance= speed * time Is the speed is in km/hr and time is in hour then distance Will be measured in KM. Here in Hanuman chalisa we calculate D = 12000 years * 1000 * 8 miles. So my first question is what will be the unit of distance in this case ?? 2nd question is what is 1000 ? Is it constant, and if it is constant what's the logic behind this constant? What is the unit of this constant , because we know every constant have a unit. My 3rd question is why they take 12000 years I mean if we are convert this in months , days then answer will be different.

Great video man! Can you make a video on the om sound coming from the cg black hole from nasa

a "religious and spiritual" indian hindu here. dont wanna get in the debate of correct or incorrect, but can we just appreciate his efforts! keep it up my man!

so ur point is, method is not mentioned in hanuman chalisa therefore we can't figure out if this is correct or not, hence its wrong, lmao

Science IS DOPE , keep up the work man . Love the content

Hey bro. Love your videos man. It is cause of you that now I look at things objectively. Please make a video on vastu shastra and feng shui as well. Its plaguing the entire architecture field. Professionals are being advised by these so called experts who don't even have a degree.

You really opened my eyes. Keep it up bro..❤️

Isn't the distance between The Sun and the Earth different during different times of the year? If I can recall the lessons from school correctly then we're closer to the Sun during summers and farther from it during winters.

When people don't know the real meaning of our scriptures then people searching for the bogus things in the scriptures. Our scriptures is for overcome from our desire, lust, fear and all the weaknesses. There are not a single word for outer world rather inner world.

Anyone can enjoy his videos without getting offended if one doesn't mix religion with science. Every individual has the liberty to follow their own biases and it is not necessary that you agree with him on every subject matter.

I’m a Hindu Sanatani and a proud Sanghi. I never go outside without wearing Vibhuti on my forehead because I’m proud to be born a Hindu and I’m proud of my nation’s culture and civilisational continuity. But I’m not offended by this video. What’s the logic in finding logic behind these? We must be proud of our mathematicians, scholars and rishis who gave immense contributions to science, politics etc which are still relevant. From ancient times itself in Bharat, we never had conflict between Science and Beliefs. Don’t find logic in Religious beliefs. It’s called “Belief” for a reason. If we still place Beliefs above science, what’s the difference between us and Abrahamic faiths? Always keep this in mind that practices and beliefs which is against reason never survived the test of time in Bharat.

What I thought about the line every time i read it is that Like some one ask you how far star is you would say far far away Same as in that line Yuga,saharsha ,yogana means sun which is far far away lord Hanuman reached there quickly

What !! Years × miles = km ???? RIP units Earth revolves around sun in eliptical path not in a circular path so there is no fixed distance between sun and earth That why Kepler third law talks about area swept by earth per unit time is constant This is 10th class science

Seems like Tulsi Das had a time machine which he used to get the actual distance value from the sun to earth and then he wrote that and waited years till he could say look we had this value all along . Yup makes perfect sense

Same here pranav Bro... I am A staunch right Wing Guy But I am really Fed Up with these Facebook and WhatsApp scientist.....I really Appreciate The Works By mathematicians Like bhaskaracharya Aryabhatta Etc . But I think We should go with More Rational Way ..

Hanuman ji ne sun ko khaya tha. Kab? Voh bache the isliye voh galti se suraj ko aam samjh baithe. Hanuman chalisa ek poem hai. Aur poem main alankar ka prayog hota hai. Hanuman chalisa main jagah jagh per atishyokti alankar ka use hua hai.

There is a difference between equation and formula. The phrase in Hanuman Chalisa is not a formula it's just an equation giving the distance between Sun and Earth

Mujhe kya mai toh bas ramayan aur mahabharat life lessons ke liye padhta hu There is no pointing on proving "WE ARE THE BEST, WE KNOW EVERYTHING" And people should focus on the learning we get from our history.

Appreciate your effort. This the problem with us, we unnecessarily try to find scientific evidences in our spiritual books, which is not required at all. These two are totally different things.

You really Motivate me to study More So that I Can Also So Scientific Things In Our Ancient Texts....

"Yuga" is not defined anywhere in vedas. It's clearly mentioned in Rigveda that all Yugas are not equal. Satyuga was longest. So how they get magical number 12000 years?

Here i am going to explain the fact and answer your all question being asked…👇 Yug sahasra yojan par bhanu--it means sun is at a distance of 1000 yojana of yug →yug = 12000 unit of divine year containing all yug(i.e 4 yugas alltogether also called mahayug) →sahasra litreally means thousand (1000) in length.. →yojan is varing in length from text to text ranging between 6 to 9 miles…. This is because hindu measurement is based on foot step measurement..for ex- 2 pada = 1 vitasti. There is no standardization of foot step (pada) this is because length of mesurement is based on foot step and it varies person to person….. It is favourable to take yojana around 8 miles approximately….it (approximately….it) can be 7.8 or 8.2 but answer differ slightly →bhanu means sun in sanskrit dictionary. So yug sahasra yojan par bhanu means sun is at distance of 1000 yojan of yugs. So calculating this 12000 * 1000 * 8 = 96000000 miles And 1 mile = 1.6 km = 153600000 km This is exactly given by nasa as we all know Now let us take few false allegation with proper answer-- 1: people with abrahmic lens and other ignorant hatred coment that the formula is dimentionless and how the unit of time is multiplied with length? ANS→well this question is geneally asked by schooling student who are reading basic science In thier school life. In mordern science today distance is measured in respect to time. For ex- astronomical unit, light year etc Light year is the unit of distance not time It is distance travelled by light in a year Called light year. 1 light year = 300000000 * 365 days and so on in different units. Similarly, per 1000 yojana distance covered in yuga(there are 4 yuga) is the distance of sun from earth. Large unit of length can only be expressed with respect to time.modern physics also deal distance w.r.t. time length. 2: Another question being asked by the ignorant is that 12000 divine year contain in 4 yuga called mahayuga? ANS→IN the above answer this question is answerd by default. There are 4 yuga Styug,tretayug,dawaparyug,kalyug. When we simply call yuga it means we are adressing all 4 yugas. For example-in a conference hall there are mechanical enginer,computer enginer,electrical enginer etc… and the host adress…hello engineers how are you--it simply means host is adressing to all enginers at a same time. Similarly calling yuga simply means adressing all four yuga. Its a matter of common sense, i left it for your level of Common sense. NOTE→ IF ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUERY OR QUESTION YOU CAN ASK FREQUENTLY WITH PROPER REASONING AND FACTS. I hope this will open the narrow minded ignorant who try to mislead but they cant even deny the fact….. They act like idiots who ask such question👇given below- Q1: sahsra is not 1000 its means 1000s? Q2: yojana value is 6.7 miles somewhere 8 mile somewhere or 7 mile somewhere which is correct? Q3: this formula have no dimentional accuracy? Q4: the sloka is false or copied from elsewhere? I can only laugh at these silly question. Rest is upon you do your pure and unbaised research with free mind and open thoughts dont be ignorant.

not yug is juug जुग सहस्त्र जोजन पर भानु । लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू ॥

It is in the religious book may be because in that line they were actually praising about journey Hunumana did to go there. This reason is foolish if you use it to debunk it. Why does it matter if it is written in Hanuman Chalisa and not Aryabhata's? Secondly, in many places, there is a yuga considered as 8 miles. Since these Sanskrit words are literal meanings there is no need to write units. One word in Sanskrit have more than one meanings in many places. Both the reasons are not that good unfortunately I came to clear my mind but it didn't help.

This was the thing I wanted to know f9r a long time. Very very long time. Thank you for clearing my doubts.

Fun fact . In hinduism there r many scientific things that might be wrong . But having this scientific approach at that time I 👏. respect inc.

Sir during my childhood i watched an episode of brain games about people randomly guessing a number (like how many candies are in a glass jar) thousands of people guessed different numbers but when averaged there result the answer obtained was pretty closed to exact value(actual no. of candies in jar). Now i think it is not true and if it gives result it is not going to be consistent but i wanted to talk more about it maybe like maxwell distribution law it is also true and if it is true maybe earlier human may had came up with the distance between earth and sun, ie random guesses lead to accurate result

I used to watch this person then discovered abhijit chavda and wow he is way more intelligent than him and his explanation is dope. I recommend everyone to watch him you will be amazed. Do checkout Praveen mohan too he is also super good you guys will love them. Please don't delete comment.

I found your channel from the zodiac video. You have been doing such an amazing work! hats off mate

I love how Hindu extremists are barking that he is a Muslim, he is a mullah in comments 😂. It proves how intelligent they are 😂😂

Absolutely. I don't know why people try to find science in devotional books. What I feel is "yug sahasra yojana" means a very great distance and it's simply a praise for Hanuman ji. That he flew such great distance.

Hey Pranav, I agree with most of what you said in the video except when you say, why look for science in a book that's not scientific? The answer to that is, the time when the book was written, people most probably used these stories/shlokas/poems to communicate a lot of different subjects. For example in the Ramayana, when hanuman asks how to get to the Himalayas from Lanka (to bring the sanjeevani booti), he is told the whole route, describing each and every major river, mountain, plains, etc that he'll encounter on the way to the Himalayas from Lanka. This is an example of a whole geography lesson interwoven into the story. The writer could have written the Ramayana without any of this geography, but it was put there with the purpose to educate. The education system at the time was just a bunch of stories/shlokas/poems that were taught through the Gurukul system and that's why a variety of subjects were incorporated within the stories, including, in this case, science interwoven with the hanuman chalisa. Most probably.
