Light of Moon (Science in Vedas)
The moon shines because its surface reflects light from the sun. It does not produce any light of its own. Do you know, it’s alright mentioned in the Rig-Veda. Let’s see…
Rig Veda [1.84.15] states that —
अत्राह गोरमन्वत नाम त्वष्टुरपीच्यम्।
इत्था चन्द्रमसो गृहे॥
Devta – Indra
Rishi – Gotamo Raahoogan
Chhand – Nichrdgaayatree
Svara – Sadja
“The moving moon always receives a ray of light from sun”
“Wise man recognises the hidden ray of the sun in the mansion of the moon i.e. the moon borrow her lights from the sun. It is the rays of the sun which are manifest in the world.”
