Rig Veda Composed In Russia?

One of his last works was a book India & Russia – Linguistic & Cultural Affinity.

He took voluntary retirement from the Indian Foreign Service in 1973.

He was awarded the Padmasri , High Honour by the president of India in 1973.

He states that the Folklore of Russia resembles Sanskrit when sung......

I am also providing a list of Russian words that bear a striking resemblance to Sanskrit.

In the meanwhile I read a Book where the author, a Scholar in Sanskrit, Tatyana Elizarenkova in her Book 'Language and Style of the Vedic Rsis' states that the Rig Veda was written in Russia!

This is based on the language construction, Grammar and the affinity between Sanskrit and Russian.

Based on a Study of Indo-European Languages and cross checking with other scholars of the West who knew Sanskrit she seemed to have arrived at the conclusion.

Where Are Manuscripts Of Vedas

There are four Vedas, Rig,Yajur, Sama and Atharva .

In addition to this, we have Upavedas,Vedangas,Parisista, not to speak of the Smritis.

Of this lot this is what has been collected.

"The complete corpus of Vedic mantras as collected in Bloomfield's Vedic Concordance (1907) consists of some 89,000 padas (metrical feet), of which 72,000 occur in the four Samhitas"

This is only for the Samhitas.

Brahmanas,Aranyakas,Upanishads remain.
