Thus, the science of Yoga, as developed in ancient India, aligned with the science of Ayurveda facilitated healing at the physical and mental level.

• Explain the contribution of Indian astronomers in the field of astronomy and

There is a deep connect between the fields of mathematics and astronomy. In fact, most astronomers in ancient India were also great mathematicians. They beautifully propounded the inter-relation between the two fields through their work in the field of astronomy. Some such contribution of ancient Indian astronomers in the field of astronomy are as follows:<ref name=":0" />

=== आर्यभटः ॥ Aryabhata ===

 

 

=== Aryabhatt ===

You have read about Aryabhatt before. Astronomer is the person who studies planets and galaxies. Aryabhatt was also an astronomer, earlier, it was believed that our earth is fixed at one place. Aryabhatt was the first person to tell that earth is round and constantly moves on its axis. He also contributed in eradicating superstitions. He said that solar and lunar eclipse does not happen because of devils named rahu (Saturn) and ketu (Neptune). He said that it happens due to scientific reason.

=== Bhaskarcharya ===

=== भास्कराचार्यः ॥ Bhaskaracharya ===

You have already read about his contribution in the area of maths. He was influenced by the astronomical calculation of Brahmgupt. He also did many astrological calculations. Bhaskarcharya calculated accurate time of a year, that is, the time taken by earth to complete a revolution of sun. His book sidhant Shiromani had many points related to astronomy. The first part of this book deals with the distance of planets, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, phases of moon etc. the other part of the book is related to astronomy. He has written about space, movement of planets, phases and its calculation etc in this book.
