The basis of this research monograph is the Science of Shadows. Shadow is a form of darkness that existed even before light was manifest in the cosmos. It is the reappearance of darkness when light is obstructed, much like day and night: the darkness of night disappears with sunlight and reappears when the sun vanishes. For this scientific reason, there is no idol in the sanctum sanctorum of the Chhaya Mandir at the Surya Mandir, Konark, Odisha, India. From such observations, Vedic Rishis concluded that the world is fictitious.
This monograph examines the experimental principle of shadow. Earth’s tilt, its orbit around the sun, latitudes, altitudes, and even time cycles are treated as imaginative constructs based on apparent celestial motion. Astrology (Jyotish Shastra) too depends on this celestial drama; hence, truth-finding is essential. Humanity has long sought to understand cosmic events governed by uniform natural laws (Prakriti), often through fear, wonder, and correction. Based on lifelong research from 1946–2025, including studies of northern and southern solstices across the globe, this work uses shadow science, supported by Vedic and modern perspectives.
Shadow has no intrinsic existence; it is projected, elusive, and dependent on substance. Movement is illusory.

Dr. B.G. Matapurkar
Dr. B. G. Matapurkar is a surgeon retired from the Central Health Services, Government of India, and a renowned scientist with international patents (USA: 1995, 2002, 2003). His pioneering research on adult stem cells demonstrated regeneration of tissues and organs using body tissue cells, leading to new operative techniques published in medical textbooks. He discovered the physiological phenomenon of “Desired Metaplasia,” recorded as a world record in the Limca Book of Records, with potential applications in future space travel through lightweight food production systems.
During his posting in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (1974–1976), he innovated the intravenous use of tender coconut water due to scarcity of IV fluids, publishing this work in medical journals. He has received several national and international awards, including active membership in the New York Academy of Sciences. His scientific analysis of the birth of the 101 Kauravas from the Mahabharata gained global attention, and he has published extensively on science in the Gita, Puranas, and earth’s axis and obliquity.
