Geo or Jya - Means measurement in Sanskrit

Long back I read these lines from Deivathin Kural and so when I saw these YagaKundams near Sri Perumbudur, birth place of Sri Ramanujar I thought I will share it...
Everything in those times were connected to Spirituality, as they say, 'Part of Life'. Whether dance or music or literature all towards God as means and end. Sacrifice has its own meaning with these dimensions and shapes, having its results..Do we ever question the antenna's size,shape,etc? Just as the Antenna's in telecommunication system have their own reasons, these Sacrificial Pits or YayaKundams have their own reasons for their dimensions and shapes...
If we perform Yagas as mentioned in Bhagad Gita, we get rain and benefit is ours..if not suffering is also ours...This is the proof in spirituality,while in science instantly signal gets cut off when antenna is wrongly designed....
க்ஷேத்ர கணிதம் என்பதுதான் 'ஜ்யாமெட்ரி'. 'ஜ்யா' என்றால் பூமி; 'மிதி' என்றால் 'அளவை முறை' என்று அர்த்தம். யாகவேதி, யக்ஞ குண்டம் இவை எப்படியிருக்க வேண்டும் என்று அளவைகளைச் சொல்வதற்காகவே முதலில் ஏற்பட்ட ஜ்யாமிதிதான் இங்கிலீஷ் ஜ்யாமெட்ரியாயிருக்கிறது. 'ஜ்யாகரபி'யில் வருவதும் இதே 'ஜ்யா' தான்.

"Jya" means the earth and "miti" is method of measurement. "Jyamiti" evolved with the need to measure the sacrificial place :"geometry" is derived from this word. The "geo" in geography is from "jya".
