Could anyone imagine that ancient texts stated the age of the solar system and the universe to within 0.1% of the modern scientific values? Neither could these scientists, before reading this book:
"It is hard to find an author who is expert in widely separated branches of science, but Chhabra and O'Rourke have dexterously sewn together state-of-the-art discoveries in five fields: cosmology, astrophysics, geology, paleontology, and embryology."
– ¬Prof. S. Ghosh, Columbia University
"This book illustrates how the Puranas provide both a microscopic and telescopic view of the physical world from which modern science can learn and benefit."
– Prof. R. Buyya, University of Melbourne
"The authors bury skeptics under an avalanche of well-researched facts. A real tour-de-force of scientific expertise."
– Prof. K. Pahan, Rush University
"You have synthesized challenging material from at least four different fields into a thought provoking and compelling vindication of the Puranic cosmo-chronological order."
– A Saha, Smithsonian Museum of American History
