Few of the Important events in the life of Braphmagupta


Brahmagupta was born in Bhillamala, which is now Bhinmal in 598 CE. He followed Hinduism. He spent most of his childhood days in Bhillamala. He was born when the Chavda dynasty was ruling the dynast


He researched on astronomy and worked as an astronomer for Brahmapaksha school. It was one of the most famous Indian astronomy schools in India during that era. He studied Indian astronomy traditional, which is siddhantha


He studied the works of great Mathematicians and astronomers like Aryabhata I, Varahamihira, Srisena, Vijayanandin Latadeva, Pradyumna, Simha and Vishnuchandr


When he was 30 years old, in 628 BC, he wrote the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta which revised version of siddhanthas of the which he studied in Brahmapaksha school. He has added a lot of new things to the boo


Later, to do more research on astronomy he moved to Ujjain. Ujjain is said to be one of the best places to research astronomy


At the age of 67, he wrote Khanda-khādyaka for his students. This book of his served as a practical manual of Indian Astronom


He spent the last days of his life in Ujjain and died in 665 C

 Vasudev Devnani, last year, claimed cow was the only animal that exhales oxygen.

Rajasthan Education Minister Vasudev Devnani has said that Brahmagupta-II discovered the law of gravity before Isaac Newton.


Speaking at a programme at Rajasthan University here on Monday, he asserted that Brahmagupta-II came up with the gravitation law a thousand years ago.

“We all have studied that Newton gave the law of gravitation, but delving deeper, we can find that Brahmagupta-II came up with the theory of gravitation 1,000 years before (Newton). Why don’t we include this fact in the curriculum,” Mr. Devnani asked.


The Minister said the school curriculum was changed and close to 200 Indian personalities, including Rajput king Maharana Pratap, were included.


He also stressed that education should be value-based.


The Rajasthan Minister, who is not new to controversies, had last year claimed that cow was the only animal that exhales oxygen while quoting a research website.
