  • Rig Veda Part Of Hinduism Sanskrit The Soul Of India

    We have seen how erroneous the view that Prakrit is the Mother of Sanskrit.

    Now let us see the argument that The Rig Veda is not Indian.

    This detailed map shows the locations of Kingdoms mentioned in the Indian epics. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

    The Argument that the Rig Veda is not Hindu and not of Indian Origin is based on the fact that the worship of Surya,The Sun God.

    Sun worship originated in Egypt and elsewhere.

    Horses were not known to India and were imported from abroad.

    The Rivers mentioned in The Rig Veda were in the far North towards Kabul,which includes the Saraswathi River.!

    The Rig Veda mentions the battle for Kabul and there are references to the present Afghanistan.

    There is a mention of a River Swat, which now is in Northwest Pakistan.

    There is a striking resemblance of words in Sanskrit and Latin, German,French and English.

    Lets see the point about the words found in common in Sanskrit,Latin ,German and French.

    The word for father in Sanskrit Pit,not Pitar as said in the Video.

    Pater Greek

    Mathru in Sanskrit, Mater in Latin Meter in Greek .

    There are many more words like these.

    Bratha, meaning Brother in Sanskrit, Brother in English,

    Aswa for Horse means the same in Lithuania.

    What does this prove?

    That these words were borrowed from these languages , Latin,Greek and possibly English(there is a mention of this in the Video on English!)

    The Date of the Rig Veda is placed at 1900 BC.

    Classical Latin, in the written form is from 75 BOld Latin (also called Early Latin or Archaic Latin) refers to the period of Latin texts before the age of Classical Latin, extending from textual fragments that probably originated in the Roman monarchy to the written language of the late Roman republic about 75 BC. Almost all the writing of its earlier phases is inscriptional.C, during the Roman period.”(wiki)

    Greek late  Third BC’

    Both Greek and Latin forms, if their History is correct must have been in the nascent stages, not to the extent of the rich language and Grammar of the Rig Veda, which follows the strict Grammatical rules of Sanskrit..A language needs hundreds of years to evolve from being a Dialect into a Literary language.

    Therefore the statement that Sanskrit owes its words to Lain ,Greek is, at best laughable!

    As to French and English contributing to Sanskrit, well, Indian Civilization has advanced while these learning to piss and did not even know to take bath.

    Secondly the worship of Sun God, Adithya.

    Yes there is the worship of the Sun God in the Rig Veda.

    But the primary God worshiped in the Rig Veda is Fire, Agni.

    The Rig Veda begins with,

    ‘Agnimele Purohitam,

    Ritvijam Hothaaram Rathnadhaamam”

    I am surprised a Professor of The Calcutta University saying this and state in the same breath Surya worship is predominant!

    She adds that Indra is the Chief God in the Rig Veda.

    Better her Professorship is revoked.

    The argument is that the worship of the Sun was there in Egypt and elsewhere is the proof tha the Aryans came from these places to India.

    Further the migration to India began , as can be evidenced from the fact that the Rivers mentioned in the Rig Veda are all from the extreme north, which Includes the Saraswati River, it is observed.

    Saraswati river in the extreme north!

    Please read geography and look at the location of Saraswati.

    The Logic is if the Rivers are in the North then the migration will come from that Direction.

    One forgets that there is another direction,South from where people can migrate!

    Those who have read the Puranas and the Ithihasas like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata would know the extent of the land mass that was called the ‘Bharata Varsha’, the name Hindu is from the Arabic al-Hind, from the River Sind.

    Bharat Varsha extended upto and beyond Kabul.

    Gandhari of the Mahabharata was from Kandahar, which formed a part of Bharat Varsha.

    There are the description of Yavanas, the Romans and the Mayas

    Please read my posts on these subjects filed under Hinduism.

    In Bhagya Suktha there is a reference to these places,

    ‘Ikshu Sahu Yavana Sali Palaatyam’

    Early Tamil Literature dating to 15oo BC refer to the Mahabharata, the Romans and the trade the Tamils have had with them.

    The Vedas including the Rig Veda tak of Horses as also the Tamil Literature.

    Tamil speaks of Horses being imported from Arabia in exchange for Cloves,Elephant Tusks and Pearls from Tamil Nadu.

    The Vedas state that Horses were procured from Milecha desas, meaning non conformists of the Vedas.

    I can go on adding facts.

    But it is not worth the effort to silence idiots and the malicious.

    What hurts one is that an India Professor(?) seems to subscribe to this view with her half baked Knowledge

    Let people and Time judge.

    For more on Hindu heritage read my posts under Hinduism, History.

    At this rate this theory is being expounded the time is not fr off when UK might declare that India was a part of UK and Britons migrated to India!

  • Sanskrit Not Hindu Language Nor Rig Veda

    Not content with dividing India on the basis of Aryan Invasion theory, there is an attempt by the West to denigrate and destroy The Hindu Identity by destroying its roots, Sanskrit and The Vedas.

    Sanskrit
    Sanskrit, the soul of India.

    Macaulay made his intentions clear in his address to the British Parliament, when he observed that it is the Hindu Culture, Religion and Sanskrit were the impediments to the advancement of Britain’s interests in India.

    So the Britishers floated the Theory of Aryan Invasion, encouraged linguistic tendencies and adopted a Policy  of Divide and Rule.

    They imposed English, simultaneously ensures that Indians lost respect for their Languages, Sanskrit and the local mother tongue.

    Contrary to what they expected the Hindus mastered English better, even better than the British and have advanced, thanks to the British.

    In the process Hindu cultural degradation started and is well on its way.

    Sanskrit losing its sheen in India, save by the Brahmin community, especially from Pune and the local Indian Languages giving way to way to English, rather more  to corrupted language like Hinglish,Gujliish,Tanglish.

    Now that the Aryan Invasion theory has been proved to be a Myth, the West has taken a new route.

    Attack from the Language front, Sanskrit.

    Prove that Sanskrit is not of Indian Origin.

    Trumpet that the Rig Veda is not a Hindu Scripture.

    This is how they go about.

    Watch the video.

    My rebuttal point by point follows.

  • From Where Did The Brahmins Come?

    One of the most controversial topics is whether the Aryans invaded India and later settled here and if so from where did they come from?

    I have already posted a blog .The Myth called Aryan Invasion’

    The scientific research proves that there is no Aryan Invasion at all.

    I will be adding some more points to disprove this Myth and before that there are some questions to be answered ,the questions arising out of Ramayana.

    Rama and the others ; hailing from the Northerner part of India and if the Ramayana is a fact,which it is( I have posts on this under Hinduism),Lord Rama and others should have been fair-skinned,

    But the description of Rama is Blue Black.

    This is based on the conception of Lord Vishnu as Black in color.while Lakshmi is Golden (Hiranya varnaam(Sri Suktham), Lord Shiva of Reddish Hue,Parvati of greenish hue, as per the Purana.

    But based on geographical origin and the present people living in North India Rama should have been fair-skinned.

    We have two options.

    1.Ramayana was a fiction.

    This is incorrect as the Astronomical data provided in the Ramayana and other Purana stand the test of Science.

    Ramayana is a fact.

    So we are left with the other option that there have been other skinned people in India before Ramayana and there has been an a mix of various groups having different racial characteristics.

    Lord Rama could have been an exception as far as color is concerned.

    Others in the Ramayana were not of the same hue as Rama.

    Sita was fair-skinned.

    Against this Ravana was not described as dark-skinned and he is the brother of Kubera who is fair-skinned and Ravana is a Brahmin though he is described as a Dravidian!

    Therefore logic forces one to conclude that there were more races in India than one homogeneous Race in India which included Sri Lanka.

    Again if one refers to any of the Eighteen Purana, one would find descriptions of people both black and fair-skinned.

    And not all Brahmins were fair-skinned.

    For example, Aurava and you can find Brahmins of Dark hue in South India.

    The Indian Society expanded outwards, not from outwards.

    This is why one finds remnants of Hindu Thoughts in all the continents more specifically Egypt, central America , Australia and the Middle East.

    The early Indian Society was based on disposition, Varna, Brahmanas, Kshatriya , Vaishya and Sudras.

    Therefore the Brahmins did not come from any where to India and were a part of India Society.

    There is a school of thought which establishes that the Dravidian were living South of the Vindhya range and later they mixed with the people from the South.

    Sage Viswamitra banished his sons to the South and they intermingled with the Dravidians.

    Sage Apasthamba came from this mixed race and he composed the Apasthamba Sutra of the Vedas and it is being followed by the Brahmins of South India even today.

    Some more objections to Aryan Invasion of India.

    “

    1) If the ‘light skinned and mostly blonde haired and blue eyed’ Aryans had really invaded India and settled here thereafter, then why are such people with pure Caucasian features rarely found in India now? If it is because of centuries of racial intermixing, then how come one can still find some quite dark skinned people in India but not central Asian/ European type ‘white’ skinned people in India? Even the light brown skinned people found in the far north of India in places like Kashmir aren’t as fair as the ‘Aryans’ are considered to be.

    2) The Aryans divided themselves into 3 classes. The fourth class was the lowly ‘Shudra’ class, explained by the European historians as the Aryan conquered Dravidians’ class. By this logic, all the high castes, esp. the Brahmins had to be white/ light brown skinned and the people belonging to the ‘Shudra’ class had to be dark brown skinned. And yet, many dark skinned Brahmins and light skinned ‘Shudras‘ can easily be found in India – both in north as well as south. And upon that, inter-caste marriages, esp. high and low caste ones, are still uncommon in almost all parts of India. Another point regarding castes is that – Valmiki, the writer of the great Indian epic ‘Ramayana’, was born a Shudra, but ultimately, by attaining the Brahminical aspect of knowledge earning, spiritual understanding and noble mannerisms, became a Brahmin. ‘Ramayana’ is the story (does not matter if it was factual or myth) of a Kshtriya (Aryan) prince of North India – Lord Rama, who at the climax of the story defeats and kills the demonic king of Sri Lanka (south of India) – Ravana. Now, even though Ravana was a Brahmin (Aryan) by caste, he is considered, in the Indian spiritual folklore, as an UnArya or a non-Aryan, on account of his demonic deeds. This all suggests that caste system, originally, was not rigid, and that, ‘Aryan’ was an open, attainable socio-spiritual status.

    3) How come almost all the light brown skinned people in India (considered to be the descedants of the original Aryans) belong to the cold climate locations of India like Kashmir and Himachal and the dark brown skinned (considered to be the Dravidians themselves) belong to the warm climate locations? This suggests that skin colour in India has more do do with the climate and atmosphere of a particular region in India.

    4) If the Aryans were outsiders in India, then why do their spiritual-cultural-social compilation ‘The Vedas’ do not mention any outside cities, rivers and mountains? Why do they only mention the places that are found in India, as their sacred most? Why not some place in Caucasus or Iran? Why don’t the Vedas, which contain references to many battles, contain no reference to an ‘invasion’ of the land of Indus-Saraswati (India)? How come the modern descendants of Aryans in India have no recollection of their foreign origins? How come the descendants of Shudras (so called Dasas or Dasyus or Dravidians or indigenous race of India) have no recollection of an Aryan invasion of their land and their subsequent subjugation because of a defeat at the hands of the Aryans?

    5) If the Dravidians’ Indus valley civilization met its end at the hands of the invading Aryans, then how come no horse remains, broken chariots and burned buildings were discovered in and around the valley.

  • Read Misinformation ‘Aryan Invasion ” A Rebuttal

    The Myth of Aryan Invasion.
    The Myth of Aryan Invasion.

    Seemingly reputed magazines, newspapers, web portals ,publish periodically some researched(?!) articles on the Aryan Invasion Theory.

    Those who advocate this Theory conveniently take their references from the Indus valley civilization, form Harappa ruins.

    For them only the Mohanjedaro Harappa is the bench mark.

    They link these with the Puranas,quotes from Pagan Legends, medieval History of Europe.

    One point they deliberately omit to mention is that the  Puranas indicate that the civilization flowed outwards from the Indo Gangetic Plain,not  the other way around.

    The Puranas mention, “Milechas’, those who live beyond the Ocean, The Jambo Dweepa.

    Kaikeyi , aunt of Lord Rama hailed from Kekaiya, its capital being Kandahar.

    There ae references to lands beyond the Jambo dweepa in the Indian Ocean, beyond Sri Lanka, in the Puranas as well as in the ancient Tamil Literature, which is about at least 3000 years old.

    There is a reference in the article about Nadars, a community from Tamil Nadu, South India.

    The word Nadar in Tamil is from the word Naattar’ those who enforced the King’s Will, ruled on behalf of the Tamil Kings  a small parcel of land in down South in Tamil Nadu.

    Whenever Zack Ajmal posts a new update to the Harappa Ancestry Projecthe appends some data to his ethnic database. This sends me to Wikipedia, because how many people are supposed to know what a “Muslim Rawther” means? Well, if you are a Muslim Rawther, and perhaps from Southern India, you would. But South Asian ethno-linguistic categories and hierarchies are notoriously Byzantine, and I have difficulty making sense of them. This isn’t too surprising in my case, as my family’s background is relatively mixed in the very recent past (e.g., Hindus and Muslims, and people of various caste backgrounds), so we’re not the sort who can go at length about our pure ancestry and all that stuff. Unfortunately, Wikipedia isn’t always useful, because the people editing the entries on particular South Asian ethnic groups are often people from those ethnic groups, so you get a lot of extraneous information, and a particular slant on how awesome and high achieving the group (also, sometimes there’s funny stuff about how notoriously good looking that particular caste!). On occasion there are other sources which are informative. For example, Zack has several individuals from the Tamil Nadar caste. I know a little about this group because 1) I have a friend whose family is Nadar (he’s American, so saying he’s an American Nadar is pretty worthless), 2) The New York Times profiled the group last fall.

  • The Fraud Called Aryan Invasion Proof

    The Myth was perpetrated by The British and the propagation was carried out it by the Christian Missionaries cloaked as scholars like Caldwell.

    The goal for the West very clear, to destroy the Hindu culture to such an extent that  they embrace the Western thoughts , this, in their opinion, would consolidate the British Empire in India) and make Indians hate Indian Thoughts.

    And they have succeeded in this attempt.

    Even to-day this is being taught in Indian schools.

    Facts.

    1.There is no mention of the Dravidians in the Vedas.

    The Rik Veda lists the things imported from ‘Dravida’ meaning ‘South’, Pearls,Elephant Tusks.

    There are mentions of Dasus, Dasyus and they have a differnt connotatio.

    Please read my Posts on this.

    2.The Vishnu Purana mentions that sage Viswamitra, the Rishi who gave the world the Gayathri mantra, exiled his 56 sons for disobeying him, to the south of Vindhyas,’Dravida’

    3. Earliest Tamil  Grammar, Tholkappiyam, Literature of the Sangam Period does not mention the word ‘Dravida’ at all.

    4. Adi Shankaracharya mentions the word ‘Dravida Sisu, to identify Tirugnanasambandar, (who lived around the 7th century,) in his ‘Soundaryalahari’9Sloka 75)

    “tava stanyaṃ manye dharaṇidharakanye hṛdayataḥ
    payaḥ pārāvāraḥ parivahati sārasvatamiva |
    dayāvatyā dattaṃ draviḍaśiśu-rāsvādya tava yat
    kavīnāṃ prauḍhānā majani kamanīyaḥ kavayitā || 75 ||

    5.The Kings of south India were ardent followers of Vedic Rites.

    During the megalithic period of about 1000 BCE – 400 BCE, people of South India including Tamilagam, shared many beliefs and practices of thenative Dravidian religion with the megalithic builders elsewhere in the Indian subcontinent and beyond.The famous 3.5 metre-high granite figure excavated at Mottur, in present-day Vellore district, is considered the oldest known anthropomorphic representation of God in stone in the Tamil country.

    Chera King Perunchotruudhiyan Neduncheralaathan, fed the Panadavas and Kauravas Armies during the Epic war of Mahabharata.

    He performed the ‘Tharpana, in his Chera Kingdom, now Kerala for those who died in the War.

    6.Sage Agastya.

    ”

    It is believed that the great hermit 
Agastya, who had performed such wonderful deeds by 
the merits of his penance, is still doing penance in the 
Agastya Kuta hills. Agastya who had travelled through- 
out the length and breadth of Bharata had several 
hermitages. In the Valmiki Ramayana, Aranyakanda, 
Sarga 11, a description is given, of a beautiful hermit- 
age of Agastya, and the peaceful atmosphere that 
prevailed in and around it. Agastya had presented to 
Sri Rama a bow got from Visnu, when the brothers 
visited his hermitage. Agastya had accompanied Sri 
Rama and his followers on his return journey to 
Ayodhya from Lanka, with Slta after killing Ravana. 
There is a legend in the Tamilnad that Agastya was a 
member of the first two 'Saiighas' (groups) of the 
"three Sanghas", mentioned in Tamil literature. As 
Agastya was dwarfish he is mentioned as Kurumuni, 
(short hermit) in Tamil works. He has written a Tamil 
grammar on music, literature and drama. But this 
work is not available now. The Tamil Grammar 
'Tolkapyam', which is considered to be the oldest gram- 
mar, was written by Tolkapyar, one of the twelve 
disciples of Agastya< Even today in certain temples in 
the Tamilnad, Agastya-worship is carried on. Kambar, 
has mentioned about Agastya in his Ramayana. A great 
Tamil author Villiputturan says that the Tamil langu- 
age is the beautiful maiden presented by Agastya. 
It is believed that the following works have been com- 
posed by Agastya: 

7. Archaeological Proof.

There are more than 2,500 Archaeological sites, two-thirds of which are along the recently discovered dried up Sarasvati River bed. These sites show a cultural continuity with the Vedic literature from the early Harrapan civilization up to the present day India.
8. Sarasvati River.
Several independent studies of the drying up of the Sarasvati River bed, all indicate the same time period of 1,900 B.C.E.
9.The late dating of the Vedic literatures by indologists is based on speculated dates of 1,500 B.C.E. for the Aryan Invasion and 1,200 B.C.E. for the Rig Veda, both now disproved by scientific evidence.
