countries also call these deposits “Perun’s stones”, “thunderbolt stones”, “thunderbolt wedges” and “Perun’s arrow”; other unrelated names for these include “devil’s finger”, “God’s finger”, and “Mother of God finger”, and in Lithuania, “Perkun’s finger” These thunderbolt stones were sometimes said to be transferred back to the sky by the wind after being under earth for a period of seven years. The weapons of Perun protected against bad luck, evil ,magic,disease,and – naturally enough – lightning itself.
Perun also had another type of weapon in his arsenal, as destructive as his firestone arrows, but even more unusual: mythical golden apples. While this may not seem to be much of a weapon, in many'( wiki Perun)
Perun Temple seems to have an Altar resembling Navagraha.
‘Remains of an ancient shrine to Perun discovered in Peryn consisted of a wide circular platform centred around a statue, encircled by a trench with eight apses, which contained sacrificial altars and possibly additional statues. The overall plan of the shrine shows clear symbolism of the number nine. This is sometimes interpreted that Perun, in fact, had nine sons (or eight sons, with himself, the father, being the ninth Perun). It should also be noted that in some Slavic folk songs, nine unnamed brothers are mentioned.( wiki Perun)
According to Perun Santees Fire God is to be worshiped as one finds in Vedas, Agni worship.
And there are ample references to Mitra Varuna,Mithraism.
There is a sect,Ynglism,which is based on Perun Santees and Book of Veles.
In the previous two articles I have mentioned some facts and did not provide the relevant Links.
The reason, as I have mentioned in the article is that providing too many Hyperlinks in an article affects the site technically.
Many have corresponded on the authenticity of the statements I have made in these articles and requested details.
My intention is to provide information on Indian History and the Purana, Ithihahasa and The Vedas that they are not stories or fantasies but facts and history ,aprt from conveying deep philosophical thoughts.
However there are some objections to the concept that Arctic was the Home of The Vedas and there are scholars who dispute this, including Professor Vartak.
I intend anaylsing them in the present series in a separate article.
One comment on the article is reproduced below and I am providing the information with the link, though it is not a Hyperlink.
One may copy paste it to read the full article.
My replies are in Italics.
Shiva In Thiruvannamalai.
‘Your intention is good, your effort is commendable, your blog is very informative.
A little muscle to the foundations of your arguments would help. Could u give references of specific verses from spiritual literature to bolster your arguments. That would help.
For eg: Arguments like:
The Vedas refer repeatedly to long periods of day long periods of night.
‘The information of the relevant texts are provided in Tilaks Book.
In his support Tilak cites Rigveda 7-76-2 and
translates it: "The Devayana path has become visible
to me. The banner of the Dawn has appeared in the
east." From this verse he infers that the Devayana
started at the rise of the Dawn. This inference
appears correct apparently, but is not true, because
Tilak himself has told that in the Polar and Arctic
regions the sun rises in the south. Then how is it
that the banner of the Dawn was seen in the east?
Tilak has taken support of Pi try ana also. He
states that the Hindus consider Pitryana as
unauspicious for a man to die. This tradition is easily
and rationally explained if the Pitryana represented
a period of continuous darkness. The funeral
ceremonies of any one dying during the long night
were deferred till the break of the dawn. Now the
question arises that if there was a continuous spring
at the Arctic region in the ancient era when Aryas
lived there, as Tilak says, then is it possible to keep
the dead body at home for six months?

They also speak of days in yet another context ,extending for 60 Nazhigais,which corresponds to our normal day.
Southern direction is being treated as some thing beyond more like alien territory.
When one reads the Vedic Texts,reference to Dravida desa is made as though it is a distant land, though a part of Sanatna Dharma,and it was considered as a place where a sloghly different culture was followed and was considered fit to banish people, as in the case of Viswamitra who banished his 51 sons to the Dravida Desa.
And Vasishtas Tribes in Dravida desa indicates the southern connection.
You may read more articles on this by Googling Pre Sanatna Dharma Shiva.
But the texts are clear that Shiva as a separate Entity though not in conflict with the Vedas is mentioned as the Ancient One.
This refers to Then (south) Madurai which was devored by the sea.
This speaks of a parallel system of philosophy in the south,though not at variance with the the Vedas.
Lord Shiva is considered to be the founder of the Tamil language.
Thiruvannamalalai,Tamil Nadu is 3.64 billion years old and Jwalapuram,Cuddapah,Telengana,which houses Nataraja is 74,000 years old.
For Thiruvannamalai being 3.64 Billion year old,Jwalapuram 74,000 years old, kindly check my articles on these issues by googling the search term plus ramanan50.
Rest assured my intention is not negative. Kudos and looking forward to read ahead.
(I hv read Lokmanya Tilak’s Artic theory of the vedas but i am not convinced since a lot of our great scholars and noblemen in those days were under duress to kowtow to the British empire which is understandable. No fault of theirs….Those were very trying times and they did the best what they could do so that we could live in a free India).’
I have stated in many of my articles that the Vedas were Revealed/composed in the area what we call Arctic now.
I have made passing references to this point.
Jambudweepa, landmass of the Earth as explained in the Puranas. Note the change from present Landmass
As many wanted a detailed article, I am elaborating on why Arctic could have been the home of the Vedic people,why the Vedas could not have been written in the present India and who the people were who composed,rather compiled the Vedas.
As to the people who composed it can remain a hypothesis unless one is a Realized soul to have Truth revealed.
I am attempting with my limited knowledge and the inadequate tool called Logic to explain the issue.
Why the Vedas could not have been from the present Indian landmass?
1.The Vedas refer repeatedly to long periods of day long periods of night.
They had composed Hymns on Ushas,on Dawn and on Night,Ratri Suktha.
They also speak of days in yet another context ,extending for 60 Nazhigais,which corresponds to our normal day.
If only normal day and night duration was only the time scale,why the obsession and necessity of composing these Sukthas?
Long nights propel one to yearn for Dawn and Long nights vice versa.
And the Veda speaks of Devayana and Pitruyana, the Pitru yana, the former denoting the Devas,Divine beings,the latter the deceased ancestors.
Ayana means Path as in Dakshinayana or Uttarayana,the movement of
Sun from North to South and from South to North.
Ayana may also indicate Time scale as movement is related to Time.
The referral points they take for this movement of the Sun are the,Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn,both related closely to the Poles.
2. The Uttarayana, movement to North period is considered auspicious, because the warmth reaches Arctic during this period.
3.When the Indian texts speak of Bharatavarsha, they do not mean India.
They refer to India as Bharata Kanda.
For such an advanced thinkers as the Vedic people ,using two terms for the same land is unthinkable.
Please read my article Bharatavarsha is not India.
Bharatavarsha encopmpassed a larger mass and Bharata Kanda,ruled by Bharata , is only a part.
4. When one checks the Vedic and Puranic Texts, one does not find specific Hymns on Patriotism or reference to a single country.
The refrain has been Swadeso Bhuvanathrayam, All the Three worlds are mine.
Benediction is not for a country, but Sarve Janaas Sukino Bhavanthu, May All be Happy or Hymn seeking welfare of beings animate and inanimate.
Please read my article Sanatana Dharma on Patriotism.
The reason is that Sanatana Dharma was the only way of Life in the early life of the earth.
5.Southern direction is being treated as some thing beyond more like alien territory though the people from the south were practicing Sanatana Dharma with variations.
They were called as Dravida, the Southerners or Dasyus though the later term means one who became wayward.
6.Sending people to South was Banishment as a punishment, as Visvamitra sent his 51 sons to Dravida Desa as a punishment.
7.We have Sage Agastya who has been a bridge between the North and South
