I have written on the fact that the Rig Veda was composed in Russia, under the guidance of Lord Shiva, by ┬аVasishta.
Lake Baikal is the Vaikanasa Theertha.
Russia was called Sthree Varsha, ruled by women.
Krishna’s son Pradhyumna’s city was in Por Baijn, Siberia.
Narada’s Mountain Narodnaya is Narada’s Mountain in the Urals.
Arkaim was Rig Vedic Mandala City.
Please read m Posts ┬аon each of these, filed under Hinduism.
There is more!
There is The Book of Veles considered to be the Russian Vedas.
There is a view that this document is a forgery.
But the other evidences are overwhelming.
There is a refernce of Seven Rivers.
‘Zhetysu (Kazakh: ╨Ц╨╡╤В╤Ц╤Б╤Г, pronounced [╩Тi╠п╔Шt╔Шs╩Кw] meaning “seven rivers”; also transcribed Zhetisu, Jetisuw, Jetysu, Jeti-su, Jity-su,╨Ц╨╡╤В╤Л╤Б╤Г, ╨Ф╨╢╨╡╤В╤Л╤Б╤Г, etc.) is a historical name of a part of Central Asia, corresponding to the South-Eastern part of modern Kazakhstan. It owes its name, meaning “seven rivers” (literally “seven waters”) in Kazakh, to the rivers which flow from the south-east into Lake Balkhash.’
Baikal as I mentioned is the Vaikhanasa Theertha.
The Seven Sacred Rivers f the Hindus are,
Ganges,
Yamuna,
G0davari,
Sarsvati,
Narmada,
Sindhu,
Kaveri.
Gange ca Yamuneschaiva Godavari Sarasvati,
Narmadhe Sindhu Kaveri Jalesmin Sannidhim Kuru.

And indeed the ancient faith of the Slavs and the Rus from ancient times, long before the Baptism of Russia, was called Orthodoxy. Russian called themselves Orthodox, for the glory of rules to follow the Path of rules. She also was named Righteous faith, for the Slavs but know the truth, know the primordial Vedas, the ancient Vedas, the sacred legends about the origins of the Vedic faith, the former first faith almost all nations of the world.
The books from the collection of “Russian Veda” and, above all, in the “Book of Veles,” says twenty thousand years, during which time was born, died and revived Russia. The books tell of ancient ancestral home, the land where generations born Russian, the progenitors of various kinds…
Book Of Veles, Russia
Today, one looks healthy forces of society uniting Russian idea of the experience of generations of Russian national tradition is thought to be the only possible way for his country. Mental health of a nation can find, just leaning against the net source of national spirit, a prisoner in the great Russian language, songs and epics, in the tradition of old, stored in. Is it possible to grow up to the sky, with no roots?
What exactly are the Slavic tradition now?
Vedism or pravedizm тАФ is the oldest monotheistic faith, that is, the belief in the existence of God, spiritual knowledge, handed down to us in the sacred texts, in the form of folk Orthodox tradition in the form of oral tradition.
If we turn to the original meaning of the word FAITH, contained in the ancient runic texts, we get the following interpretation:
FAITH тАФ modern sounding ancient image of a two runes:
1. Runa “Veda” тАФ means the Veda of reference, ie the ability to come to know the Divine Wisdom of God, and having become slaves of the Most High, to tell it to others.
2. Fleece “RA” тАФ means the Sun, Light or Light of Truth of God.
So then faith тАФ is Shining the Light of Wisdom and Truth of God.
Today, on the revitalization of the old faith and the work of many, many of our fellow citizens.
Now the rules get in the path of many. In Russia today, there are already hundreds of Vedic communities, reviving the ancient faith, ancient knowledge, rituals and martial arts.
So who is now among those who direct their efforts to revive the ancient Vedic culture and Vedic Knowledge? Even today, these people, united in various community quite a lot. And every day in Russia, they are becoming more and more.
You can just give some notation these directions:
Orthodoxy тАФ the glorification of “rules” тАФ the spiritual world of God and His children Grandparent тАФ light Slavic Gods and Goddesses.
Rodnoverie тАФ belonging to the Faith and the genus in all its forms: from the Almighty, in the images of Rod-Grandparent and Virgin, to the earthly father and mother. This contains the notion that this belief тАФ native, not foreign.
Vaishnava тАФ Vaishnava worship, praise and spiritual flock to God in the image of Vishnu (elevated) and Krishna (Kryshen).
RUSVEDIZM тАФ anastasiytsev movement, followers of Anastasia was, a book Megre ancient Vedic roots of Slavic civilization.
Agni Yoga тАФ followers of Roerich, by following the Vedic knowledge disclosed Roerich in his writings.
Vedic culture тАФ a phrase from the concepts of “Veda”, “Cult”, ie, worship, praise and “Ra”. That is, it is worship, worship Shining Light of Wisdom and Truth of God.
Thus, the different communities call this faith in different ways, but all agree on common definitions тАФ “Vedic culture” and “Veda”, because they are found in all of these names.
..
The most famous books of Vedic religion of India тАФ the Vedas. Four of them. Rig Veda тАФ “Veda hymns,” Sama-Veda тАФ “Veda chants” Yajur Veda тАФ “Veda of sacrificial formulas” and Atharva Veda тАФ “Veda spells.” Later, the Vedas were composed commentaries тАФ hundreds of philosophical treatises: Brahmins Samhita, Upanishads and Aaranyaka.
Additional Vedic literature of India тАФ is the Mahabharata, the Ramayana and the Puranas. Heroic poem Mahabharata Indians revered as the fifth Veda, it is the greatest poem in the world, including one hundred thousand quatrains. In fact, the Mahabharata is a separate literature (the famous Bhagavad-Gita тАФ the culminating part of the Mahabharata).
Ramayana тАФ is a poem about an ancient hero and king of India Rama, the incarnation of God. The Puranas are a collection of stories of the incarnations of God, the life of the demigods.
Zoroastrian literature of Ancient Iran represented primarily Avesta, which has four parts: Yasnu (“worship”), Vispered (“all of the major head”), Videvdat (“the law against the demons”) and Yashty (“Hymn”). It was mentioned only sacred book of the contemporary denominations, not less extensive literature provide archaeological and ethnographic research in various countries of the East. Well as more recent works, based on the Unreached to us priestly books (eg, “Shah-Name” poet Ferdowsi).
And it would be wrong to assume that all of these texts are not related to the Russian Vedic tradition. On the contrary. Many of these texts tells of the lands lying to the north of India and Iran. This important and very ancient land description single Vedic civilization that existed in ancient times, and is revered and honored ancestral Aryans, the source of the Faith and Vedic Hindus and Zoroastrians.
Consideration should be given community of many texts, myths and stories of Russian and other Vedic traditions. Texts can be placed next Russian folk songs, spiritual poetry and similar texts of Indian and Iranian Vedic literature.
Compare these things will inevitably lead to the conclusion that the knowledge preserved in Russia and songs which have as their basis the same roots of Vedic culture.
The great spiritual heritage of Russia Vedic rightly be placed next to the living tradition of Vedic Eastern countries.
Ancient songs and tales in the oral tradition of Russia is well preserved. They are poetic, are available. Often Russian tradition sets forth the ancient song, very much loved by the people and not distorted by time. You can call the revered Old Believers “Book of Doves,” “Book of Animals”, “secret book”, the “Golden Book” and many other popular books.
A complete set of Slavic folk songs, tales, fairy tales and legends, spiritual poems тАФ thousands of volumes. They contain the same reflection original Vedas.
In addition to thousands of volumes of Slavic folklore Russian Vedic literature is also presented Ancient Texts. First of all тАФ the “Book of Veles”, then тАФ “Boyan Anthem” and “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”. Already now, monuments enough to talk about the great Russian Vedic literature and literary culture.
Of the Four Vedas, Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva,Yajur veda has two aspects.
Krishna Yajur and
Shukla Yajur.
Sage Yajnavalkya.
The Shukla Yajur Mantras are longer and more detailed.
The reason attributed is that though these Mantras have been revealed by Lord Surya, The Sun God directly to Sage Yajnyavalkya, as these Mantras were not initiated by a Guru, as recommended by the Vedas, more Mantras are provided to compensate the issue of not being initiated bya Guru.
Yajnyavalkya was a Disciple of Vaisampayana.
The Sages used to meet often to exchange views on the Vedas, much like the Academics of today.
On one such occasion, Vaisampayana asked one of his disciples(Not Yajnyavalkya) to represent him.
Yajnavalkya informed the Guru that he would represent him and he argued with Vaisampayana on this issue.
Annoyed Vaisampayana admonished Yajnavalkya for questioning┬аthe Guru, being argumentative and advised Yajnyavalkya to leave ┬аafter returning the Vedas he had learnt.
Yajnavalkya is the first recorded Sage in History.
‘
As per the demands of his Guru, Y─Бj├▒avalkya vomited all the knowledge that he acquired from his teacher in form of digested food. Other disciples of Vaisampayana took the form ofpartridge birds and consumed the digested knowledge (a metaphor for knowledge in its simplified form without the complexities of the whole but the simplicity of parts) because it was knowledge and they were very eager to receive the same.
The Saс╣Гskс╣Ыt name for partridge is “Tittiri”. As the Tittiri (partridge) birds ate this Veda, it is thenceforth called the Taittir─лya Yajurveda. It is also known as Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa Yajurveda or Black-Yajurveda on account of it being a vomited substance. The Taittir─лya Saс╣Гhit─Б thus belongs to this Yajurveda.
Then Y─Бj├▒avalkya determined not to have any human guru thereafter. Thus he began to propitiate the Sun God, Surya. Y─Бj├▒avalkya worshipped and extolled the Sun, the master of the Vedas, for the purpose of acquiring the fresh Vedic portions not known to his preceptor, Vai┼Ыamp─Бyana.
The Sun God, pleased with Y─Бj├▒avalkya penance, assumed the form of a horse and graced the sage with such fresh portions of the Yajurveda as were not known to any other. This portion of the Yajurveda goes by the name of ┼Ъukla Yajurveda or White-Yajurveda on account of it being revealed by Sun. It is also known as Vajasaneya Yajurveda, because it was evolved in great rapidity by Sun who was in the form of a horse through his manes.The rhythm of recital of these vedas is therefore to the rhythm of the horse canter and distinguishes itself from the other forms of veda recitals. In Sanskrit, term “Vaji” means horse. Y─Бj├▒avalkya divided this Vajasaneya Yajurveda again into fifteen branches, each branch comprising hundreds of Yajus Mantras. Sages like Kanva, Madhyandina and others learnt those and ┼Ъukla Yajurveda branched into popular recensions named after them.
It is important to note that within the hierarchy of Br─Бhmaс╣Зas, certain sects believe in the Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa Yajurveda while others practice from the ┼Ъukla Yajurveda.
Y─Бj├▒avalkya married two wives. One was Maitreyi and the other Katyaayanee.┬аOf the two, Maitreyi was a Brahmavadini (one who is interested in the knowledge of Brahman).The descendant sects of Brahmans are the progeny of the first wife Katyaayanee. When Y─Бj├▒avalkya wished to divide his property between the two wives, Maitreyi asked whether she could become immortal through wealth. Y─Бj├▒avalkya replied that there was no hope of immortality through wealth and that she would only become one among the many who were well-to-do on.┬аWhen she heard this, Maitreyi asked Y─Бj├▒avalkya to teach her what he considered as the best. Then Y─Бj├▒avalkya described to her the greatness of the Absolute Self, the nature of its existence, the way of attaining infinite knowledge and immortality, etc. This immortal conversation between Y─Бj├▒avalkya and Maitreyi is recorded in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.
Wisdom of Y─Бj├▒avalkya is shown in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad where he gives his teachings to his wife Maitreyi and King Janaka.[6] He also participates in a competition arranged by King Janaka about the selecting great Brhama Jnani (knower of Brahman). His intellectual dialogues with Gargi (a learned scholar of the times) form a beautiful chapter filled with lot of philosophical and mystical question-answers in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad.┬аHe was then praised as the greatest Brahmajnyani by all the sages at the function organised by king Janaka.┬аIn the end, Y─Бj├▒avalkya took Vidvat Sanyasa (renunciation after the attainment of the knowledge of Brahman) and retired to the forest..
Satahapatha Brahmanas.
This deals more with the Karma Kanda, performance of Rituals.
The Shatapatha Brahmana (рд╢рддрдкрде рдмреНрд░рд╛рд╣реНрдордг┼Ыatapatha br─Бhmaс╣Зa, “Brahmana of one hundred paths”, abbreviated ┼ЪB) is one of the prose texts describing the Vedic ritual, associated with the Shukla Yajurveda.[1] It survives in two recensions, Madhyandina (┼ЪBM, of the v─Бjasaneyi madhyandina ┼Ы─Бkh─Б) and Kanva (┼ЪBK, of the k─Бс╣Зva ┼Ы─Бkh─Б), with the former having the eponymous 100 chapters (adhyayas), 7,624 kandikas (parts) in 14 books, and the latter 104 chapters, 6,806 kandikas in 17 books.
Linguistically, the Shatapatha Brahmana belongs to the later part of the Brahmana period of Vedic Sanskrit (i.e. roughly the 8th to 6th centuries BCE, Iron Age India).[2]
Jan N. Bremmer dates it to around 700 BCE.[3] According to Julius Eggeling, the final version of the text was committed in 300 BCE, although some of its portions are “far older, transmitted orally from unknown antiquity”.
Among the points of interest in the text are its mythological sections, including the myths of creation and the Deluge of Manu.The creation myth has several similarities to other creation myths, including the use of primordial water (similar to the Bible), the explanation of light and darkness, the separation of good and evil, and the explanation of time. The text describes in great detail the preparation of altars, ceremonial objects, ritual recitations, and the Soma libation, along with the symbolic attributes of every aspect of the rituals.
The 14 books of the Madhyandina recension can be divided into two major parts. The first 9 books have close textual commentaries, often line by line, of the first 18 books of the corresponding samhita of the Yajurveda. The following 5 books cover supplementary and ritualistically newer material, besides including the celebrated Brhadaranyaka Upanishad as most of the 14th and last book.
The Shatapatha Brahmana of Madhyandina School was translated into English by Julius Eggeling, in the late 19th century, in 5 volumes published as part of the Sacred Books of the East series. The English translation of Kanva School was done by W.E. Caland in 3 parts.
