Namaste all.
For a very long time : I've had the idea of posting this. I often feel that Hinduism has so many beautiful things/concepts/discoveries within the culture that can easily be overlooked. I thought a topic where we can come together and list things that come as the result of Hinduism such as (Vedic astrology), a discovery with the aid of Hindu Philosophy or a creation with its help (such as the first aircraft), and so forth. I often find it difficult to recollect ALL the amazing things and I think it is quite important to have a large aggregation in the long term for preservation and growth + reference. I'm sure there are things like this that exist already, but I can't find them.
My vision is a extremely expansive list with a whole host of information from each end of the spectrum, so don't be afraid to be off the wall with your suggestions.
I'll start us off, I'll add all your replies to the main list over here in the first post.
Everyone is welcome to dispute anything on the list, or to rectify, or add suggestions.
I also welcome anyone to suggest subsidiary text for any concept [in bold] which may require expanding. For example : you may want to list all the main schools of Yoga underneath the 'Yoga' concept. You may want to list the main Ayurvedic practicies under the 'Ayurveda' concept. & so forth.
Anything that suffers from a lack of accuracy but still deserves to be on the list can still be suggested : The list can be rectified accordingly.Abhava-Yoga, Adhyatma-Yoga, Agni-Yoga, Ashtanga-Yoga, Asparsha-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Buddhi-Yoga, Dhyana-Yoga, Ghatastha-Yoga, Guru-Yoga, Hatha-Yoga, Hiranyagarbha-Yoga, Japa (Mantra) Yoga, Jnana-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, Kaula-Yoga, Kriya-Yoga, Kundalini-Yoga, Lambika-Yoga, Laya-Yoga, Maha-Yoga, Nada-Yoga, Pancadashanga-Yoga, Pashupata-Yoga, Patanjala-Yoga, Parna-Yoga, Raja-Yoga, Samadhi-Yoga, Samkhya-Yoga, Samnyasa-Yoga, Samputa-Yoga, Samrambha-Yoga, Saptanga-Yoga, Shadanga-Yoga, Siddha-Yoga, Sparsha-Yoga, Tantra-Yoga, Taraka-Yoga, & Yantra-Yoga
