Shri Agniveerji,

Jai Shri Ram!

Many thanks for your query regarding the Surya Sidhanta.

 

It never was an indigenoius work to start with through the pesently

available SS has had many additions/alterations by Hindu astronomers.

It is a fictitious work of planetary astronomy since the fundamental

arguments are most inaccurate and will remain so, irrespective of any

number of beeja corrections.

 

Somebody has played a dirty trick on the Hindu psyche and declared such a

useless work to have been revealed by Surya Bhagwan Himself, with the result

that even today some people consider it to be a divine work!

Jai Shri Ram!

A K Kaul
