Fwd: Indic Influence on greek thought

jan 23

aren't you shocked to hear that the greek learned anything from indians? you'd never think, to read indian textbooks. fact of the matter is that even much greek astronomy is borrowed from india, not to mention mathematics. some greek bigwigs talk about going to india for instruction, too.

Just on the point of sanskrit learning, check up if there are any samskrita-bharati camps (free) going on nearby your place
