It Actually Makes Sense!: Astronomy of Srimad Bhagavatam

The astronomy described in the Puranas of Ancient India is usually seen as a mythological relic irreconcilable with basic empiric observation. This book demonstrates - by careful translation not only of Sanskrit to English but of poetry to math - that the astronomy of Bhagavata Purana (5.16) is rational and empirically accurate. With clear and thorough analysis, transparent translation, and 12 inter-verifying geometric proofs, it reveals: A spherical earth composed of a core, mantle and crust with geologically accurate dimensions.Longitudes and latitudes with accurate tropics and arctics.An ecliptic map with the exact quadruplicities and triplicities of the classical zodiac.A rotating and revolving earth producing apparent yearly and daily solar motions.Accurate measurements for the size of the Earth and Sun and the distance between them.
