Dear Rajen Babu Garu,

 

Bhakti is eternal.

which itself is quite explanatory..

 can anyone tell me how come who world adopted seven days in a week especially

Hinduism?

 

This is a very good question. 

 

Our ancestors clearly know how the planets are arranged in the solar system - 

Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury (farthest being the first) 

 

 Since Astrology depends on apparent motions (vis a vis Ancient Astronomy, which

depends upon real motion)  and not real motions, replace earth with Sun.

 

thus, the order will be Saturn,Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus,  Mercury and Moon.

 

Now, assign each of these planets to a hour each starting with the sunrise. If

you assume the sun rise is at 6 AM and start with Saturn, the next day;s 6 AM

will arrive at Sun. If you continue like this, the next day 6 AM will come to

Moon and so on.

 

Thus, the day is assigned to that planet which is the Lord of the first hour of

the day.

 

This practice of assignment is not found in any other culture and hence, it is

clear that week system has originated in India itself and not anywhere else.

 

Hope this is clear to you,

 

regards,

 

Kishore patnaik

 

Further to the above, the following clarification is also made:

 

The seven-day week became established in both the West and East according to

different paths. Hindu civilization used a seven-day week. It is mentioned in

the Ramayana (adi kavya), the sacred epic written by Maharishi Valmiki, as

Bhanuvaar meaning Sunday, Somavaar meaning Moon-day and so forth.

 

The ancient Babylonians observed a seven-day week, stemming from astronomical

observation and association. Days and deities were based on the seven heavenly

bodies or " luminaries " visible to the naked eye (the Sun, Moon, and 5 visible

planets).

 

The Hebrew (and later Christian, and Muslim) seven-day week corresponds to the

biblical creation story, in which God created the universe in six days, then

rested on the seventh.

In the Hindu calendar followed in South Asia and South-East Asia the days of the

week (named after the planets, starting from Sunday) are called bhaanu vaasara

(Sun), indu vaasara (Moon), mangal vaasara (Mars), saumya vaasara (Mercury), and

guru vaasara (Jupiter) bhrigu vaasara (Venus), sthira vaasara (Saturn).

The names of days in Hindi and Marathi are Ravivar (Sunday), Somvar (Monday),

Mangalvar (Tuesday), Budhvar (Wednesday), Guruvar (Thursday), Shukravar (Friday)

and Shanivar (Saturday)

In the  South Indian Dravidian language Tamil, the days of the week are also

named after the planets, in the same order as in the Romance languages and the

Indo-Aryan languages - Thingal (Monday, Moon), Sevvaay (Tuesday, Mars), Puthan

(Wednesday, Mercury), Viyaazhan (Thursday, Jupiter), Velli (Friday, Venus), Sani

(Saturday, Saturn), Nyayiru (Sunday, Sun).

In the Sino-Tibetan language of Burmese, the days of the week, except for Sunday

and Monday, named after the planets, are Sanskrit loan words. In order starting

from Sunday, they are: Taninganway (Sino-Tibetan), Taninla (Sino-Tibetan), Inga

(from Sanskrit 'Angara', " Mars " ), Boddhahu (from Sanksrit 'Budha' " Mercury " ),

Kyathabaday (from Sanskrit " Vakyasapati " / " Bavahasapati " ), Thaukkya (from

Sanskrit 'Shukra' and combined with Pali 'Sukka') and Sanay (from Sanskrit

" Shani " ).

The names of days in Urdu are Itwaar (Sunday), Peer (Monday), Mangal (Tuesday),

Budh (Wednesday), Jumaaraat (Thursday), Jumaah (Friday) and Haftah (Saturday).

Though, I am unable to find any historical evidence to say the author of naming

the week days in Hinduism,  it is clear that the entire world has seven days a

week on the names of the planets and Hinduism is not only exceptional but also

possesses advanced astronomical data and knowledge.

With love and regards,

Sastry.
