Vedic Hindus were predominantly agriculturists. The Rig Veda, the oldest religious book in the world, was transmitted unaltered from generation to generation simply through oral traditions. It furnishes us with a picture of the earliest Hindu culture. Vedic people domesticated cows, horses and sheep. They knew the uses of bronze, gold , copper and silver.
The Rig Veda is regarded as a genuine document belonging to 1500 BCE or before that. Scholars like Herman Jacobi and BG Tilak even place it between 4000 and 6000 BCE
In the RV, we find mention of gold, silver, copper and bronze among metals. A hymn (1-162) gives an account of the bronze cauldron slung over the fire by pot-hooks for the cooking of meat. Gold was used for ornaments like anklets, rings etc. Mention of metal vessels, tools and armour, made mainly of bronze, affords evidence of the knowledge of metal working.
Some writers believe that iron was known during the time of the Rig Veda . For according to them the word ayas in the hymns of the Rig Veda definitely refers to iron in certain instances. But many other scholars pointed out that AYAS is a generic term for metals in the Vedic age and sometimes for gold.
In Tamil also PON refers to gold, iron and five metals in gods’ (Pancha loka= Aim Pon) idols. Even in Tamil Veda Tirukkural, it is used for both iron and gold.
Then again in the Brahmanas and Upanishads, which were of later date than the Vedas we find that the word ayas has been differentiated into lohita ayas or red metal and Krishna ayas or black metal, representing copper and iron respectively. So Rig Veda ayas is not iron and in the Indus valley civilization we don’t find iron. It may be early Vedic civilization.

Superstitions and Beliefs of Indian Space Scientists
I. IANS reports from Chennai, Nov 7, 2013 as follows: The Indian Space Agency may be sending rockets and satellites to various planets but is also guided by their own superstitions and beliefs, said a retired official of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
II.
On the home front, ISRO will not start the countdown for a rocket flight at Rahu Kaalam, said the official not wanting to be quoted.
Rahu Kaalam , or the one-and-a-half-hours of planet Rahu, is considered inauspicious to start any new work.
“In the case of inter-planetary missions, it is not possible to coincide auspicious time with the rocket’s launch time. The latter is decided based on the position of the target planet on the day when the spacecraft is expected to enter its orbit. So, the countdown is started on the auspicious time,” he explained.
tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
Similarly, prior to every rocket mission, ISRO officials pray at the famed Lord Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh and place a replica of the rocket at the God’s feet seeking his blessings for a successful flight.
Over the years, some more temples near the Sriharikota rocket port have been added to the list and officials or their juniors will visit those temples and pray for a mission’s success.
Similarly, pujas, or ceremonies, will be conducted before starting the integration of different stages of a rocket.
“It is all individual beliefs. One cannot take chance with God and poison,” a former ISRO chief told IANS.
According to a retired ISRO rocket scientist, a project director used to wear a new shirt on the day of a rocket launch.
Officials of ISRO are still unable to explain away the absence of the rocket named Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C13 (PSLV-C13) from their launch roster.
After sending up the rocket PSLV-C12, ISRO jumped one number to number its next PSLV rocket as PSLV-C14 that put into orbit Oceansat-2 and six European nano satellites.
“There is no such rocket designated with that number,” a high ranking official had told IANS while declining to comment whether the space agency considered the number 13 as unlucky.
Curiously, following the failure of Apollo-13 to land on the moon, the American Space Agency has not named any other mission with that number.
India’s Rs 450 crore Mars Orbiter Mission however, was a tradition breaker in a way by flying on a Tuesday.
tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
“This was the first time in ISRO’s history that a rocket was launch on a Tuesday. Tuesday generally considered as inauspicious day,” an ISRO official had told IANS.
However, another senior official involved in the Mars Orbiter Mission told IANS that for him Tuesday was a lucky day as the mission succeeded.

நாம் தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டிய ஏராளமான விஷயங்கள் உள்ளன.
இந்தியர்களைக் குருட்டு நம்பிக்கைக்காரர்கள் என்று சொல்லும் மேலை உலகப் பகுத்தறிவு வாதிகளும் அவர்களுக்கு ஜால்ரா போடும் நமது ‘பகுத்தறிவுச் செல்வங்களும்’ தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டிய விஷயம் அமெரிக்க, ரஷிய விண்வெளி வீரர்கள் விண்வெளி ஏகு முன் என்ன செய்கிறார்கள் என்பதையே.
கீழே உள்ள சுவையான செய்தியைப் பார்ப்போம்
*
நாஸாவின் ஜெட் புரபல்ஷன் லாபரட்டரி ஆயிரத்தி தொள்ளாயிரத்து அறுபதுகளில் ரேஞ்சர் திட்டத்தை உருவாக்கியபோது சந்திரனைச் சுற்றவும் அதை போட்டோ எடுக்கவும் விண்கலங்களை அனுப்பியது.
என்றாலும் கூட ரேஞ்சர் திட்டமானது தொடர் திட்டமாக ஆகி விட்டது; ஏனெனில் முதலில் ஏவப்பட்ட ஆறு கலங்களும் தோல்வியில் முடிந்தன.
ஏழாவது முறை வெற்றியை அடைந்தனர். அல்லது தோல்வியை அடையவில்லை. இதற்கான காரணம் என்ன என்று யோசித்துப் பார்த்ததில் கண்ட்ரோல் அறையில் ஒருவர் ஜாடி நிறைய கடலையை வைத்துக் கொண்டு அனைவருக்கும் கொடுத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார். அதிலிருந்து விண்வெளியில் அமெரிக்கர்கள் விண்வெளியில் வெற்றிகரமாகச் செல்வதற்கான காரணம் கண்ட்ரோல் அறையில் உள்ள கடலையினால் தான் என்று சொல்லப்பட்டது.
ரஷிய விண்வெளி வீரர்கள் பஸ் டயர்களின் மீது சிறுநீர் கழிக்கும் போது அமெரிக்க விண்வெளி வீரர்களோ தமக்கே உரிய பழக்கத்தை விடாது செய்கின்றனர்.
இந்தக் குருட்டு நம்பிக்கையின் அடிப்படையிலான செயலின் போது அமெரிக்க விண்கலக் குழுவினர் போக்கர் விளையாட்டை விளையாடுகின்றனர். குழுவின் கமாண்டர் தோற்கும் வரை இது தொடரும்.பிறகே விண்கலத்தை நோக்கி அனைவரும் புறப்படுவர்.
நன்றி : TRUTH VOL.87 NO. 22 – 13-9-2019
இச் செய்தியின் ஆங்கில மூலம் கீழே தரப்படுகிறது:
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory launched the Ranger mission in the 1960s,
spaceflights intended to fly around and take photographs of the moon. However, the Ranger mission soon turned into a series of missions as all of the first six launches were unsuccessful.
On the seventh try they got lucky, or perhaps they didn’t get unlucky. Either way, the thing that was most noticeably different the seventhtime was that someone had got a jar of peanuts to the control room and shared it around. Since then, mystical powers of
sending Americans successfully to space have been attributed to peanuts in the
control room.
While the Russian cosmonauts hydrate their bus tyres, their astronaut counterparts do their own thing en route to the launch pad. In this superstitious ritual, the crew play poker and the cards continue to the dealt until the commander loses. Only then can the launch proceed.
On the Earth-ridden side, ever since STS-1, the director of the Lanuch Control Centre treats his co-workers to a meal of beans and cornbread after a successful launch, a time for celebration and bonding for the entire team.

விண்வெளி ஏகு முன் ரஷிய விண்வெளி வீரர்கள் கடைப்பிடிக்கும் சில பாரம்பரியப் பழக்கங்கள்!
ச.நாகராஜன்
ரஷிய விண்வெளி வீரர்கள் விண்வெளி ஏகு முன் பாரம்பரியமாகச் சில பழக்க வழக்கங்களை கடைப்பிடித்து வருகின்றனர்.
இதை Quora.com தெரிவிக்கிறது.
அவற்றில் சிலவற்றைக் கீழே காணலாம்.

There are a few traditions that the astronauts do before going into space right now. Since the only way for humans to get into space right now is through Russia, all of these traditions are related to that program. There may have been some other traditions for other space programs which won’t be listed here.
Here are my top ten
traditions, in no particular order.
1. Astronauts visit Red Square and lay carnations at the Kremlin Wall. Here,
Samantha Cristoferitti is participating.
2. They sign a guest book at Star City, Russia at Yuri Gagarin’s office. Here you see the current expedition members, Scott Kelly, Gennady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko signing the book.
3. Here, Karen Nyberg is planting a tree. This tradition started with Yuri Gagarin and continues today.
4. A Russian Orthodox priest blesses the crew and rocket before launch:
5. Astronauts sign the door to their room before departing. This is Chris Hadfield signing his.
6. One tradition that is hard to find photos of (for obvious reasons) is the tradition of urinating on the bus tire as the astronauts head to the rocket. Yuri Gagarin also started this tradition. I have read that female astronauts may or may not participate in this tradition. Sometimes they bring a bottle of their urine and pour it on the tire.
7. My daughter’s favorite tradition is of course the “gravity test” stuffed toy that is brought onboard each Soyuz. Here, Anton Shkaplerov, Terry Virts and Samantha Cristoforetti are conducting this important test
8. There is one
anti-tradition: No launches are ever scheduled on Oct 24th because Russia has
had two fatal accidents on that day.
9. The crew traditionally watch “Белое солнце пустыни / White Sun of the Desert”
the night before the launch.
10. The Russians in particular have always taken trinkets into space to give away later as gifts or to trade. This is also popular in the US with NASA astronauts, but the tradition is a lot bigger in Russia.
