Varahamihira – Biography

India Ratnagarbha. Many ascetics, sages, philosophers, scholars, intellectuals, scientists, and poetic artists emerged in the womb of Mother India. Their number is unmatched. However, scientists are few in India! Our Indian scientists made airplanes before the eyes of the world. There is also a treatise on aeronautics in Sanskrit. Varaha Mihiru is a rare genius among such innumerable scientists. He belongs to the 6th century AD. Emperor Vikrama was one of the most famous Navaratna intellectuals in the world. Varaha Mihiru was the one who dazzled with his unparalleled astrological songs.

Varaha Mihiru lived between 505-587 AD. Varaha Mihuri's real name is Mihiru. Mihirudu means the sun. His descendants are sun worshipers. His father was Adityadas. Varaha is the title bestowed on Mihirudi. Varaha is the highest award given to scientists in the Buddhist monarchy. That was the only honor that Mihir had at that time. With that, Mihir became Costa Varaha Mihir. His birthplace is a village called Ni Kapitha near the city of Ujjain. Varaha Mihiru has been fascinated by astrology, mathematics, astronomy since childhood. For that reason, Aryabhata studied the writings of the great astronomers of his earlier generations, astrologers, and astronomers thoroughly and thoroughly. He returned to many parts of the world and abroad to refine his studies. He traveled to Greece and carefully researched the research of Greek scientists and acquired new knowledge. When we hear the name Varaha Mihiru, we are reminded of one of the world-famous stories. Varaha Mihirudu multiplied the horoscope of Vikramarka Chakravarti's son. This lad is said to have died because of a pig. Son of the Emperor! How to die because of a pig! Everyone broke their lip that it was improbable. However, just as he had told Varaha Mihiru, the boy was playing with the toys and stabbed him in the horn with a pig toy. The news spread like wildfire across the country.

The emperor was upset. Varaha dazzled Mihir with his astrological maturity. It was only after this incident that astrologers developed a tradition of interpreting horoscopes as a way of looking at the bad consequences of their lives, but not as a matter of fact. Varaha Mihiru is a pioneer in astronomical sciences.
