Ujjain is the original Prime Meridian of India and not Greenwich

It's so bizarre to know that during colonization when England was mesmerized by India's immense wealth, the first thing they did was to find a way to program Indian minds so that they could pose as the superior ultra white race on the planet. But being fair skinned was all about the skin tone, not a moralistic parameter. Our beliefs, education system (Gurukul to modern day schools), food, clothing and even medicine was drastically altered. Changes were made and grilled inside the minds of Indians through favours followed by punishments. There was manipulation in the pretext of business but they never really gave India the adulation it deserved and still does. Now obviously, this is in History and I have no anger against the present day common people of England and why should I ? After all I am also in the Modern India and Indians have moved on from this situation it seems. However from a scientific stand point and need for authentic information I have to mention that not only the British wanted to loot and plunder the nation (like most invaders) but also tried to strip India off its heritage, culture, science and spirituality. Indians are known to be welcoming and back then they practised 'Athithi devo bhava' with all the fervour. But in their pursuit of stealing India's resources and wealth the British went way too far and even stole the Prime Meridian. This is not only highly controversial in nature but sadly I also find it a bit laughable that they thought why not also take away the title of world's Prime Meridian too and people are so stupid they will never research or get to know. I am also shocked because I haven't come across people who spoke on this matter or questioned it. It implies that Britain did have a strong influence on the whole planet for a good number of years. It was assumed that they would never ever be questioned about this big change on an international level and as we all know it was accepted easily.

If by any chance, this was scientifically incorrect then it would have been corrected by India's advance astronomers. The whole Vedic astrology would have been affected by it and all the books had to be re-written. While most people give Aryabhatta the credit for 'zero' he played a bigger role in the accurate approximation for Pi. It was Pingala an Indian scholar who used binary numbers and was the first one to use 'Shunya' for zero as a Sanskrit word. Later Brahmagupta a scholar and mathematician in AD 628 first time defined zero and it's operation. He also developed a symbol for it- which is a dot underneath the numbers. However, it would unfair to say that Shunya or Zero didn't exist before that. We should not forget that 'Shunya' has been used since the very beginning in most spiritual texts. Spiritual practise called 'Dhyan' is a state of mind also known as 'Shunyata' or being detached. Since there's is no word in English that can replace Dhyan (not even meditation), some of the new age scientist use 'Focussed attention' to explain it.

Coming back to the controversial topic of 'Prime Meridian' mind you, the British had already spent some time on the Indian soil to study this phenomenon and then made this change on the entire world map. The British had planned to colonise India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and they found out about the vast reservoir of knowledge it possessed. They didn't realise that India's timekeeping system was older than 7000 years. Even NASA has now given away that Ram-setu was genuine and it goes back to 7000 years and Ramayana is not just a Myth. There's no error in India's time keeping system otherwise this would have been changed when Greenwich became a Prime Meridian overnight just 133 years ago. The astrologers here didn't care about this change and continued with Ujjain as the centre point because these invaders had been coming and going back and forth and not only they wanted wealth but also satisfy their superiority complex by destroying sacred texts, temples and libraries. 

Back then western science was smaller than a drawf as compared to the huge structure of Indian astronomy and Science. Recently, I found out that even Newton had traveled to India, got his horoscope made, read the vedas and then decided to talk about gravity via the falling apple story. He also spoke of action and reaction which made him famous but it's one of the oldest saying here in India which says 'Jaisa karoge waisa bharoge' and 'Kriya-Pratikriya' which is also the teaching of Sanatan Dharam. 

Here's a lovely definition I read on https://dharm.raftaar.in/religion/hinduism/religious-features/kriya-ki-pratikriya-hoti-hai 

There is no evidence with me of Newton coming to India as I wasn't born then and he didn't 'Hangout' with me. It's simply hearsay but Ujjain being the Prime Meridian of India is not based on mere hearsay. Though many people are charmed by Western Science which is fairly new but in my opinion it's all because of good marketing. Indian Astrology is thousands of years of old and by that standard England's Prime Meridian which decides the whole world's time is still unborn. By the way, what's interesting is that even the Prime Meridian's has changed many times though Ujjain was the oldest. Other places to follow have been Mecca, Jerusalem, Great Pyramid of Giza, Saint Peters-borough  Alexandria, Varad, Warsaw, Krakow, Stockholm, Buda, Pressburg, Naples, Copenhagen, Rome, Florence, Oslo, Pisa, Bern, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Paris followed by Greenwich. And let me know despite Greenwich staying strong on this place since 1884, there were others too who tried to take over countries like Madrid, Lisbon, Cadiz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Fortunate Isles, Rio De Janeiro, Philadelphia, Washington D.C.

The indicated longitude is not exactly zero because the geodetic zero meridian on a geocentric reference ellipsoid (which is what GPS positioning yields) is 102.478 metres east of this strip.)

My blog is simply aimed at pointing this out so that Indians are aware and also the rest of the world. There are calculations involved in this and if this information lacks clarity then the world should look through it and find out if not Greenwich then which place is the actual Prime Meridian?
