This is the answer that makes the only sense out of all the postings:
Brahma-Andaa meaning "the infinitely large elliptical (egg) form of the Universe".
Indians always believed EVERY PLANET and heavenly object was SPHERICAL. It is chanted in every Vedic ceremony, and then glorified. Hiranyagarbha is another world for the birth of the universe in the womb of manifested GOD (Ref: Chandogya Upanishad (3:19). It is central to every ceremony for Hindus since Rig Vedic times (2900 BCE). The fact is, Alexander returned back to Greece with 100,000 plus Indians to modernize science, as the tradition of India was primarily Oral Tradition (Ref: Alexander's contact with Dandirmis, from Taxila University and then Kalanos, a 'learned man' who was taken back with Alexander on his return from India). This simple act by Alexander resulted in discoveries by Archimedes, Ptolemy, Euclid and others a century of two later. (Ref: B. Richmond (1956). Time Measurement and Calendar Construction. Brill Archive. pp. 80–82. Retrieved 2011-09-18). Greeks were further handicapped as the Vatican did not allow consideration of a symbol for ZERO, and had to wait until the 12th century CE for proper ability for systematic computational study in mathematics.. Without a proper place value for ZERO, all astronomical calculations are just plain guess work.
