Hanuman chalisa and sun-earth distance

In Hanuman chalisa , the 18th verse :
युग सहस्र योजन पर भानू
लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू

Yug Sahastra Jojan Par Bhaanu,
Lilyo Taahi Madhur Phal Jaanu


Meaning : 
Yug Sahastra Jojan Par Bhaanu,
Yug (era), sahastra (thousand), Jojan (1 jojan = 8 miles), par (at), Bhaanu (Synonym of Sun)
Lilyo Taahi Madhur Phal Jaanu
Lilyo (Swallowed), taahi (that), madhur (Sweet), phal (Fruit), Jaanu (thinking) 


Now
1 Yug = 12000 Light Years[ Unit of Distance]  ]
1 Sahsrta = 1000
1 Jojan = 8 miles

Hence the calculation is 
12000 X 1000 X 8 =  9, 60, 00 ,000 miles
9, 60, 00 ,000 X 1.6 = 15,36,00,000 Km

Which is approximately same to what science has predicted .
Average = 150 million Km 


It somehow proves that Hanuman ji did jump to planet Sun , thinking it as a sweet fruit .

Believe it or not Tulsidas has explained it in simple words , without any scientific tool .

 Since ancient times Indian philosophers believed that except Akash (ether)and  Manas [ subtle than ether ]  , all other elements were physically palpable and hence comprised miniscule particles of matter. The last miniscule particle of matter which could not be subdivided further was termed Parmanu. The word Parmanu is a combination of Param, meaning beyond, and any meaning atom. Thus the term Parmanu is suggestive of the possibility that, at least at an abstract level Indian philosophers in ancient times had conceived the possibility of splitting an atom which, as we know today, is the source of atomic energy. This Indian concept of the atom was developed independently and prior to the development of the idea in the Greco-Roman world. 

The first Indian philosopher who formulated ideas about the atom in a systematic manner was Kanada who lived in the 6th century B.C. Another Indian philosopher, Pakudha Katyayana who also lived in the 6th century B.C. and was a contemporary of Gautama Buddha, had also propounded ideas about the atomic constitution of the material world.
These philosophers considered the Atom to be indestructible and hence eternal. The Buddhists believed atoms to be minute objects invisible to the naked eye and which come into being and vanish in an instant. The Vaisheshika school of philosophers believed that an atom was a mere point in space.
