Mendeleev's Periodic Table of Elements chose Sanskrit Names for 8 of the Elements...
Explore the Essentials of Elements as envisaged in Sanatan Bharat at 8 pm tonight
Mendeleev’s periodic table of elements, formulated in 1869, is one of the major conceptual advances in the history of modern science. Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) arranged in the table the 63 known elements based on atomic weight, which he published in his article “On the Relationship of the Properties of the Elements to their Atomic Weights”. He left space for new elements, and predicted three yet-to-be-discovered elements including eka-silicon and eka-boron.
The earlier attempts at classification had considered some two-dimensional schemes, but they remained arbitrary in their conception. Mendeleev’s main contribution was his insistence that the two-dimensional arrangement was comprehensive. In this he appears to have been inspired by the two-dimensional arrangement of Sanskrit sounds - the sanskrit varnamala, which he indirectly acknowledges in his naming scheme.
While we shall be picking up the nuances of this very impact of the two-dimensional organization of Sanskrit Phonetics on Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of Elements; we shall be undertaking a much more fundament treatment of the 5 Elements as recognized in the Sanatan Indic Paradigm and the experiential pieces of evidence which we all can reverberate with and can then extrapolate the various philosophical frontiers of Sanatan Dharma aka Hinduism which has had been quite at ease with the most abstract of the precepts of Zero & Infinity unlike the west which couldn’t identity the fifth element of space in its philosophical foundations.

In order to march ahead on the frontiers of Innovation creating an Aatmnirbhar Bharat, a Divya & Bhavya Bharat, we the Indics would have to explore the Santan Indic Paradigm - the very own fountainheads of our very own understanding of the cosmic existence from first principles.
This series is just a small initiative on that very frontier.
