I believe it to be knowable and discoverable. The Vedas and Upanishads are not only the sufficient fountain of the Indian Philosophy and religion, but of all Indian art, poetry and literature.” “Since our earlier ages the Veda has been the bedrock of all our creeds, ….Our Darshana, Tantra and Purana, our Shaivism, Shaktism and Vaishnavism, our orthodoxy, heresy and heterodoxy have been the imperfect understandings of one Vedic Truth . Our greatest modern minds are mere tributaries of the old risis… ” “If Indians hardly understand the Vedas at all, the Europeans have systematised a radical misunderstanding. Their materialist interpretations, now dominant in cultivated minds, translated into modern tongues, taught in our universities . .has been more fatal to Vedic Truth than our reverential ignorance…” -Sri Aurobindo “By the Vedas, the Hindus mean the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discovered by different persons in different times… The discoverers of these laws are called rsis, and we honor them as perfected beings…and some of the very greatest of them were women.” -Swami Vivekananda The collection of books, Vedas, Vedah, is the holiest for the Hindus.

  • Vedic Heritage
    Divine light of Vedic heritage What stands in the way is the ego with its ignorance, its pride and its physical consciousness which contains inertia that resents and resists any call to change. To watch and to observe nature in silence is to contemplate upon God. That quietness is blissful. India’s Divine light of Wisdom “Bharatiya Dharma of the Himalayas” Written and composed by Jyotikar Pattni January 2008 © Copyrights 1 Aum Hreem Shreem Vakratundayah MahaKayayah SuryaKotih Samaprabhah Ridhi Sidhi ShreeMan_ MahaGanadhipattaye Namoh Namah ‘The one embodiment of the Sidhanta Surya ‘efflugent Divine Sun’, in whom the entire illusion MAYA is submerged in the naval as all auspicious dawn and creation divinely sing, dance and wake up the Great rhythm of ‘Ridhi’ and ‘Sidhi’ for music is the beginning of life and music is the pathless eternal symphonies of Gods of which “AUM” is the first primordial sound of Gods.’ 2 Let us abandon the territorial differentiation of humanity based upon political passports and economic conveniences, sociological irrationality and egotistic discrimination of “yours” and “mine”. There are two worlds of humanity - The world within us sacredly enveloped and world without [the external spiritual world]; the manifest and the un-manifest; the material and the spiritual world; the intuitive and the rationally visible; the mystic and the cystic. What is required of us is that we honour and nourish the sacredness the divine gift and purify our minds to remove all the negativities, hatred, anger, anguish, fears, and human made camouflages. We will need to understand how to build a bridge between these two worlds.

  • A Reply to Michael Witzel's 'Ein Fremdling Im Rgveda'
    A Reply to Michael Witzel’s ‘Ein Fremdling im Rgveda’1 (Journal of Indo-European Studies, Vol. 31, No.1-2: pp.107-185, 2003) by Vishal Agarwal 11 August 2003 ~*~ Background: Recently, N. Kazanas published a sixty page article titled ‘Indigenous Indo- Aryans and the Rigveda’ in The Journal of Indo-European Studies (JIES), vol. 30, Numbers 3&4 (2002), pages 275-334. The article argues that the speakers of Indo- Aryan (IA) languages did not enter the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BC, as the conventional Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT) and its euphemistic versions hold. Kazanas further argued that the Rgveda, the oldest IA and Indian text, was composed mainly in the 4th millennium BC, and therefore, these peoples may have arrived into the Indian subcontinent around or before 4500 BC, not later. The article provoked nine comments, of which eight2 were quite short and were published in the same issue of the journal. The ninth comment, by Professor M. Witzel of the Harvard University, was published in the next issue (JIES vol. 31, No. 1-2 (2003), pages 107-185. Witzel’s comment is thus much longer than Kazanas’ article itself. In the latter issue of JIES, Kazanas wrote a 54 page ‘Final Reply’ (JIES, vol. 31, No.1-2: pp. 187-240, 2003) to all his nine reviewers. He has responded to most of Witzel’s important academic objections. My own critique here is meant to supplement Kazanas’ response to Witzel. I will not repeat what Kazanas has already included in his final reply. In my critique below, the page numbers within (...) refer to those in Witzel ‘comment’ as published in the journal, unless a different bibliographic reference is given by me.

Without this invention some cultures created in different languages would remain divided and self-isolated and it could hardly contribute to the progress of mankind. The invention of translation as a method of transferring cultures eventually allowed people to start creating a modern global world on the basis of supplementation, exchange and borrowing rather than suppression and devaluation of this or that culture. Translation as a subject of research does not lose relevance in modern scientific discourse. Researchers focus their attention on its linguistic aspects, in particular, on the phenomena of asymmetry between sign systems, on the nature of communication in general and the limitations of translation; literary approaches are based on the study of practices which are resorted to by translators when they transmit texts of different types, genres, art forms, etc.

  • Probable Origin of Avestan People
    Indirect Evidence In Rigved Indicating Avestan People Were Originally From Sapt-Sindhu Region By VR Patil (email: [email protected]) Introduction: Rigved consists of ten Mandalas/Chapters composed by the different Poets/Rishis/Sages over a very long duration but mostly during the Mature and Late Harappan period (Indus- Saraswati Valley Civilization). Based on the information available in these Ten Mandalas/Chapters, the Rigvedic Scholars/Experts have categorized them into two classes i.e. the Early and Late Mandalas. Mandala 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 are generally considered as the Early Mandalas or Old Books of Rigved and Mandala 1, 5, 8, 9, and 10 are treated as the Late Mandalas or New books. In the past 150 years, various scholars, who studied Rigved from several angles, highlighted some new features present in the rigvedic text and also expressed their views in different fashions. Hence, we do not find unanimity among the rigvedic experts about many rigvedic characters including location and period of the composition of rigvedic text; purpose of performing several Yajnas; river Saraswati and its location(similar doubts have been raised about the other rigvedic rivers also); Asva/horse and its sacrifice; origin of the important Rigvedic Tribes (Bharatas, Anus, Druhyus, Purus, Turvasas and Yadus), their relationship with each other, and the causes of their fights and movements; the Dasas and Dasyus, and the reason behind their attack on Yajna; origin of Sanskrit language; influence of rigvedic culture on Hindu religion etc. Some say that the Aryans were indigenous people who spoke Sanskrit and composed Rigved in the North-western part of Indian Subcontinent (Greater Punjab of British Era and North-west region of present-day Pakistan), whereas, others profess that they came from Bactria Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC, Central Asia) region, first lived in present-day Afghanistan, there composed the Early Mandalas and then migrated to indian Subcontinet after the collapse of Indus Valley Civilization.

  • Rigvedic Aryans : an Example of “The Mistaken Identity” by VR Patil (Email: [email protected])
    Rigvedic Aryans : An Example of “The Mistaken Identity” By VR Patil (email: [email protected]) Personal Introduction: I am VR Patil, presently located in Pune city of Maharashtra State of India. Since last few years, I have been taking interest in knowing the ancient history and cultural aspects of my country; India. Hence I started reading about the past seriously. Here I wish to submit that I am neither Historian nor Archaeologist but an engineer by qualification and profession as well. Also I am not a Sanskrit expert, but a person who is keen expectant of the History of my nation. Based on my studies on Rigved, I have written some essays that are listed below; 1. Rigved & Indus-Saraswati Valley Civilization: Inking the Link 2. Rigved: Cracking The Mysteries Using Griffith's Translation 3. Rigvedic River Saraswati: A Reflection of “The Struggle for Water” 4. Why Rigvedic River Saraswati is not a Mythical River (A Short Note) 5. Rigved : Solving a Puzzle of The Dasas and Dasyus These articles are available in the public domain. In the present article; “Rigvedic Aryans : A Case of “The Mistaken Identity”, I have tried to analyse the very old case of Aryan in my own style. The main purpose of calling Aryan as a Mistaken Identity is to remove the misconception developed in the minds of many people about this important character/term of the Rigved. Earlier, this misreading had lead to the creation of the superior but imaginary Aryan Race just before the second world war, and was used by the Nazis/ Hitler to show that the Jews are from the inferior human race than the Germans/Europeans, that finaly resulted into the killings of thousands of innocent Jews.

  • Correspondence Archive Between N.Kazanas (NK) and S
    Correspondence archive between N.Kazanas (NK) and S. Talageri (ST) (through email) : On 22 Feb 2005 NK wrote to Ashok Chowgule : Dear Shri Chowgule, As I don't have an email address for Mr Talageri, perhaps you would kindly send him this message. I read his Rigveda (2000) 3 years ago and, as is known, defended him publicly (in the jIES 2002) against Witzel. I consulted it again recently and noticed a minor but important error. On p 114 (and elsewhere he says that Saptasindhu "is referred to only in the Middle and Late MaNDalas" of the RV . However, several references in the Early Books have escaped him. III.1.4,6(?) 24.4 (only two rivers but both in the 7 river land); IV.13.3; 19.3; V.43.1(?); VI. 7.6; 61.10; VII.8.24; 18.24; 36.6; 67.8. Thus there are enough in the early Bks too (VI, III, VII), some pre-Sudas. (There are several more than he cites in Bk I also, but these are not so important.) Is he doing any research just now? Best wishes, N. Kazanas ________________________________________________________________________ On 26 Feb 2005 ST wrote to NK Dear Dr. Kazanas I have just received a copy of your letter to Shri Ashok Chowgule regarding the references to the Saptasindhu in the Rigveda. I must thank you for your interest and for bringing to my notice what you perceived as an error. I was quite surprised, however, to read the exact nature of the error pointed out by you. So far as the exact verses cited by you are concerned: 1) At least one of the verses cited by you does not exist:VII.8.24.
