Tlw Taj Mahal
A graphic instance h my dEscovery announced over 29 years

guvfrnmenls. umvei^Ues, tourist offtciab and people of the news
media to chenge (heJr oytlool?. Consequently, so far they have ail
landed together in a conspiracy of silence to look the other way
and continue lo adamanily project the Tej Mahal a^ a tomb, pretending
not to have h^Tl or known anything to the contrary. But how
hng can the TRUTH be resisted 1 One day all those trying to stem
it wQl be swept off their feet.

r have had correspondence with Oxford's ifid Webster's
dicUonaries inforniing them that English (and every other langaBjiSi)
is n dialect of Sanskrit and, therefore, the entire etymolofrcnl concept
of oil leidcogrBphers ought to be Sangkrit- oriented- Rut perhijB
il is too early to expect them to condescend to accept a change.
Thus in almost every field of human leaminB modem concepts,
moulded mslnly by Christian and Muslim tutorin«. for the la^t

seK^eral pressui-e groups, and not the TRUTH as Jt was and as

Because the contemporary world has relied til] tod^ on histories

alien Muallma end ChHstlens it has developed topsy turvy prejudicial
notions. For instance, in the fi^ld of music it ia loosdy asserted
that Lidia's alien Muslim invadei'S and monarcbs gave a great fllBp
to Indian music through court patrociage,
Thet chauvinistic claim propagated by Muslim court stooges
and implJcitiy believed in by their sycophant following is scotched
by Ethel Rosenthal's observation that "In The Jndtun Empire, Sr
William Wilson Hunter remarked, that a regular system of notstfon
had been worked out before the age of T^nini and tht seven noleft
were designated by their Initial letter?. This notahon pessnl from

All Buch concepts whjiph are these daya con^iiiered the very
quintessence of knowledge and badges of the hJgheaL scholarship
are challenged En Ihisivchlume.
Readers ane, therefore, requeated to approach this vUume with
an op4^ mind, a mind like a clean slate shedding their pi^- conceived
and pre -tutored notions.
j^ch de-brieflnf of one's mind Ea something like washing a
Kibchen clean before stsiting cooking a meal for the day, and like
thoroughly disinfecting an operfiUon-thestr? before $t.&Eling a major
surgical operation.
When a whole set of old, deeply imbedded (deaa have to be
uprooted snd thrown out to learn new ones auch unlearning, calls
for tremendous courage snd effort.
An Illustrious illustration of such an effort actually carried out
loading to brilliant results ta found in the life of Swnml Dayunand
about 150 years ^o.
As a young nion who had been imparted the usual mundane
schooling he happened to request a Wind ascetic, \^rajanand to
inslruct him in the Vedas.
The blind sage agreed to accept the young aspErant as a pupU

"Hike another instance' Matriculation is the name of the nnal
examination of achool education. What doco the term
MATRICULATEON mean ? Do all those letlen spell out a Khool-end
examination ? Standard EngLish dtctionariea gtemmer cut the
eJfpIanation that Matiicula in Utin signifies a register. Tliat
incplanation does not enlii^hten ua . Tf it i$ contended that the names
of all those quailing at that examinatign are listed in a certain
register, hence the name, thai same explanation should apply tc
all other ejamtnations as wdl. In that eas* the tern matriculation
would be a synonym of the word 'examination' aid not oT the
school -end oxami nation alone, it should be apparent, therefore,
that even dictionary -makers trot out make-believe, half-hearted,
br^provisfld explanations which cannot aland close cross-exfiminalion.
Thia is but natural when ao- called phPologists and compiler* of

THE CURRENT HODGE-PODGE OF HISTORY
All currmt hEsLorfcai Loxts ore confused, distorted and tnircnted
accounts. We want scEtdeniii^flna thrciu^^HQut Lbe worlds to res^ixe
thia serious flaw and refomi tuition in lilstoi-y. Here we propow
to gye only a Tew elaring Instances of untenable or conTused concepts
that are bcin^ tauglit in the najne of lii^toi^. Wa do not claim
to catalogue all faultg and flaws in contemparai^ leaching, writing
Hnd research in histfity because those might be too many for a
single mind to comprehend or catalogue. But the instances we cite
here should certainly help readers In idenliryfniE and weeding out
other faulta^
When did the ^^Hd B^^al
The first glaring fault that haunts current hisloiy-texts Is that
no one Seems to be sure when the world be^n. Diinng the VTctorian
tra the world wfl3 believed to have been created one fine morning
in 4001 B.C. And evei-since world hlstoriana have never i»ublicty
repudiated that notion. For ill practical and ol'ficial purposea they
must be deemed to hold on to that view. ¥<i hlstoiians In their
wordly wjsdorn are shrewd enough never even to utter that date.
Becouae. to express faith in that year as Tuarking the b^^ninj
of thla world would expose them to puhUc ridicule, theyn thBrefo™,
pj^fer to remain discreetly mum on that vital pobt about the very
cciminencement of the world,

A further confusion on that point is iMt historians do

n^-er to discuss It in depth lest thp hoUowness of tbeir belief m^
beoome too uncomforuble to bear and sustain.
Abrupt Jtcgiiuiia^
A third fmill is that modem text* begin abruptly by mentiom
iKUitiber of ancient communities such as Scythians, Babylomani.

Double StMiidju-ds
Double standarda are also bebi^ followed In history teaching
and writing. While a histoT^ of HussTa writtai by Hitler will be
siimmarily repudiated by the former, and a history of Great Britain
written by Napoleon will be nevw tolerated by the Britisben, tn
the matter of Hindu history, art, architecture and evei Bcripium
Muslim and Qiriatlan scrlhbllngs are deemed to be the most
AuthoriLetive. Musllnts and Christiana should be deemed to be
disqualified from writing on Hindu hiator^ not on|y bacau^ they

becauat they are mere babes of yesteryart whose outlook on the

i THEORIES ABOUT THE CREATION
Any history must bcsin with the crwtioti of the wofW #e Mvt
In. But niMi present -day theorieg begin with a random mefitlco
of s number of civUiTatioiis IVom the Incaa to Indus VB)l<?y and
ScythtBUS to Sumerlans. Tbe inter- relation of thoM ct^ilifiitiflnt
is not knon. their se<|uence too is unknown, Bestdea, nothing \s
known About relics found in P^bc« like the Easter Island. T,vcn
th* Indus V&lley clv[liMtion came ta li»ht wMnpflratWely recently.
There could be many more such civiUzaiions hidden Trom our view.
Thus th^re Is complete confusion In history beyond 2000 years.
Let ua. therefore, begin with the current concept aboet the
creation. Snce aU contemporary education I. run tm Eurapeen lina.
because .^ the cuiTent political ascendancy of Eu^pan-. It la tt^
notions about the cri«tion which are considered a» the mr>«
acceptable, respectable and plausible.
Wegtemers have two jdntthMKies, one for the materiel, physical
world and the other for Ufa.
For the physical w^rld agdn ther* ire two theories. One 1$
the steady state th»ry and the other the hiil bang th«.n^ of creation
Both those theories fail to explain who c^ted and what sustains
the ateady at^te or what caused tbe big bang.

But there ere aevera] vhal differencea between an orfitary book
of knowledge or encydopaedia and the Vedas.
Tbe Vedsj are the ancient - most. Tb(3^ irew wident thft nobody
has been able to determine when . whcfc and how the Vedaa ofigiruied
.
'Htal is because they are divine. Orthodos tndiilon holds inat ihe
Vedfls were taught by drvini ty to tbe first gen tretion of aitfes inJtiiiinj
a tridJUon of rMilina them verbatim from genefalkin to generation.
People are prone to dlsmisi thLa aa seniimmtal nonamw- But
it musrt be considered firatly. that the immutable divint oripn of
the VedAS is e firm tradition. Secondly, all edorta hitherto to trace
the or%inil aource and the time of composition of Iba V(das htv»

Our Comment - By tradition Sanskrit is a Cod-made langusge.
The Vedas v^hich constitute a codified book of knovpiledge ire of
divine qrigin . Their language Sanskrit is therefore nol of human
Origin, That is why It ^s of mathemallcd predsion described above,
Panini \9 Ibe master tabulator of Sanskrit but not the originaior
of the language.
Even computer hardware must have existed In Vedic culture
as may be deduced from Bhrugu Samhita and Nadi Granthas which

gignifieg that he is the supreme lord, i kind Of owner, proprietor,

He Es also toiown as Bbagawsn i.e, the bstroua one. We know

The same is the ease witia the Vedas. Mere possession of tba
Vedas in college libraries is of no uw. Where are the idf-l«i,

Al times one comes across Individual} who, when lold of vjch
pommon traditions. Inadvertantly wonder whether it couldn't b«
flnfued that the Bible or the Koran may u w^\ be the origjral
source of the common human tradition? To resolve such doubta
they need only remind themgelveg that Chriatianity. Iglsm and eyery
other creed was non-exiRUiii 1*500 Uj a,EOQ yeari b^ wlult Vedic
Lrsdition spans millions of yearSp Under such circumstance Lhert
shouldn't be any doubt in anybody's mind thai it is Vedic tndl4imi
which la the parent source of all humsn cultura.
It will thus be seen thai ihe Vedic theology of the creation
of the universe continues to form the base of aU human ifadtUon
whether Hindu or non Hindu- TWa should alone suffice ia convince
anybody and everybody that there is nothing in this world which
h non 'Vedic snd non -Sanskrit. This proves that all people on this
earth who today profess allegiance to different faiths are descendanta
of Vediats alias Hindus. In other wordst the Vedaa and Sanskrit
form tiie very roots of all human civilization. Conse^ently all tJie
aeemingly different faiths »re bnmches of the Vedic. Hindu iree.
They ought not. ther^for^. to believe themselves to be differenl
find ahoaldn't function as separate rival entiU'es- Their faiths should
continue to seek nourishment from their parent stock namely th?
Vedas, Lord Brahma and leaua l.e U>rd Vishnu.

VEDIC THEOLOGY IN THE BIBLE
AND THE KORAN
Both the Bible and the Koran, though profegainj to be the
scriptures of two different faiths ^ totally accept Vedic theoloRy and
IhwBony is ^^^ natural because lalam Is just 1372 yeara old and
CbriaUanity is less than 2000 years ancient. Compared to primordial
Vedic cultures Chrisuanity and Islam are but newborn hebes. H
then they draw heavily on Vedlc theology and theogony, ahould
that be any matter for wonder 1 Do not children imitate the thoughts
and sounds of the homes in which they are bom !Thia simple
natural nile musl be kept in mind by historians. Far from realiiing
that the Kble and the Koran hfld no other alternative hut to repwt
what Vedic tradilJon laid down Csin^e there was nothing else m
p by) modem scholara itnd to believe that the Bible flfld Koran
not only differ ijiterse but together differ from Vedlc Sanakril
amptures.
Ancient E^skrit scriptunes like the Metsyfl Puran hnve recorded
the sequence of events which lad to the creation of Ihi cosmos.
That is the Vedic concept. But thai is not a concept like that of
I^srwin namely the sepculation of a str^ mortal. It i" »ht aciual

BEUGIOUS SCRIPTU^S
People often talk Inadvertantly of venous rell^ona and their
scriptures and proceed to compare them and end up with the pontifical
remark chat they are all good , they Are all equal and none at them
says anything wrong or objectionable. That generelsing STKument
i$ an excuse to hang all manner of scriptures from the Vedas to
the Buddhist TVipitakas or Shatsf^Ukas, the Christian Bible, the
Islamic Koran and many others on s common washing line. But
the Dlogicality Hirrationality and absurdity of thatgeneraUzation needs
to be thoroughly exposed. People must learn to be bold enough
to question the validity of such statements instead of blindly and
jneekly swaUowing them without ejominfliion and questioning.
Air Scriptures Not Equal
It ought 10 be realized that the persona making such
generaliiations ar« either pacifists, politicians or mercenary
bureaucrats. They are not logicians but opportunist, self-
eggrandizers or non-thinkers.
The illogicality of the above genHaliiation can be detected^
<3(aig an analogy. If a dietician ssya that lake any eatahls whether
mai. t>r wheat or rice or vegetable, they all have Ihe aame nutntacul
value, will that be right? Therefore all scriptures can newf be
of Ibe same cBlibre-

_ the war whcfi nuclear eKplostuna and a massive br^kdown
of the civil administration made life unsafe for them.
The Mababhsrat strife was a world war The ifreet biolngical
slaughter md nuclear havoc caused t^ il shattered the unitary^
inivcrsal Vedic admlnislratlon. The universal un and study of
Sansknl was iilso simulumeoualy breached.
The ahatterftd world was divided into broken units which came
to be knovm as Syria. Assyri*, Scythia. Babylonia. Eiiypt. China
Likewise, with the tlisconllnuoww of universal Suakrit luition

Thus what wo know ag modem languages ai-e picc« of Sanskrit
turned or iwisted out of shape by local mannerisma. It i$ Ibis
w^ch makes Ihem all related and yet distinct, TTUJ it ihf ultimate
solution lo the world lingual theorem.
As against that, current ideas about world lanBuajfra. vii Iheir
origin and inter ^relsUon, are d\ confused. That llnttual confusitai
has led to other sub confusions about races such as ih<f 'Ary=w

That Maxmuel!«r, the German scholar in British service, at
}e6Sl vagi^ely realized the primordiality of Sanskiit is apparent from
lus observation that ' 'Sanskrit no doubt baa an immense advantage
over all the other ancient lenguages of the East. It is so attractive
ind has been so widely admired, that it almost seems at Limes
to eiwite a certain amount of femijijj^e jealousy. We are oursfihrea
Indo- Europeans, in a certain sense we areglDl spea^tJng and thinking
S&askril, or more correctly Sanskrit is like a de-ai* aunt to ua and
lakes the place of a mother who la no more/'
The meanden'ng logic of Maxmueller in the above quotation
typlfiea the confusion thai exists in the minds of all Western scholars
end their undersLudies. Maxmueller's first mistake is that be reckona
Sanskrit only as one of the ancient languages and thai too only
of the Eest, whUe actually ^nskrit is the firat and only language
that global humanity used for millions of years. Later Maxmueller
*fly9 that Indo Europeans still *' speck and think SanskriL"- He
doean'l reiJlze the inconsistency in firat stating that Sanskrit It
l^guajje only of the East, and then adding that even European*
^ink in it and spe^k in it. Therefore, it would be right to conclude
that though MaJtmueller had vaguely realized ^ because of hi*
'chotarship, that Sanskrit formed the foundation of ail laftguinjea

From th& above extract it shoruld he apparent tlmt all indent
people ihTWighout the world , whal^er the name of theiV community
or region, were united by common Vedlc tuHure and abserved
contmon festivals. It could be that one and the same festival had
I dirferent emphasis in different regions. In our own limes for
iniieitcen Ganesh worship, Durga f^tival, Dussera, Beepawali uuJ
Makar Sankranti , are observed by Hindus everywhere with differfnf
ODpliaa's and, significance.
The people of ancient Europe were known as Celts alias Kelis.
According to Dorothea Chaplin'
' people under this draignatJon seem
ta have varied in racial characteristics and to have apokw different
tanguageSn while apparently possessing in common a religioya gystem
wWch included halts of Justice. These people were subject to an

THE ORIGINAL HOME OF VEDIC CULTURE
Arab flcquaintance Otscc wrote to me thai ancient
.Itlamic] Arahian culture bore a clwe resemblance with IndEan
£i]] culture. From this he concluded that India had derived
[U tHIndul culture from Ai-abla. Tliough that is not wholly true
iL dffs carry a frain of truth.
TtHs votiime la meant to atfaken the v/^Ad to the re&limtion
Uul what we know as HLnduibm in modem limes. \3 ths encient.
Mc cutturt, and that this Vedic, Hindu culture is the primardial
niiiwit of Ibe whole world and not of tndia. Arabia or some lucb
iwUled country exduaively, Uke Arabia ^ whichever country tries
to iTTHie \\i ancient roots the search will lead inevitably utlimat«|y

Ancienl Superiorliy
Though the units at a modem army tally with those of Uw
tiuient Vedie army. In actual numedcsl content the armies of Vedfc
Ksbatriyas *ere far superior than is sgggegi-ftl by an unit- win
comparison. Because while a modem sectiflci comprises of artlii teo
individuals in uniform, its ancient equivalent the Patd combitA
of one elephant with a drfver (Mahout) and three arcbws In Ibe
hovrdflh; the chariot which carried one driver and four srcbw?,
thrw horses mounts by riders, and besides, five foot men. Tbus.
in terms of men and animals, the smallest unit of Uie Vedlc army
consisted of one ekpbanl. two hor9e$ yoked to the chariot and
three other hoi-ses (total aix animals) end four men on tbeelepbani,
five men in the chariot, three on horse -back and five footmen
llolai 17). Consequently, while b section of modem armies coniisU
wdy of ten soldiefs its ancient Vedic counterpBrt consisted of
"
anmuJi and 17 men. That irdJcates bow in their nunvdcw

Bgt what seems to be completely unknown is that the entire

The paradox of seemi ngly modem inventions taking on an andenl
Iffirinulogy could be explained in several ways. One very sound
«pl{ngliun is that since Sanskrit is the first and (mly language
vhicti divinky bestowed on human beings along with the Vedas,
v\y temns coined for any discovei7 or invention are bound to be
fnjrn within the ambit of Sanskrit,
Another explanation could be that the inventions wb bdieve
lo have been made for the fii^t time were known before and therefore,
^"ifjr terminology too existed in a latent form-
^tflvei- It be. it is a fact that the lermnology of modem
*='*™^and lechnolc^ is rooted In Sanskrit,

gMii' l.e, tbs divine^ illustrioua Ramachsndra, Ravan had gaied
iflt al ttfiflffure during his rsida, and also Sta, which he ought
Kfhard over to Rama. U would be a pity if be refused to release
a ll,e. the treflsure and Sita). Rame was moreover leadkig She
ffaof m ascetic sojourning in forests. Therefore, there wa? no
pdJnt ia ohstructing Rams and his companions. If. bowevern Ravan
pn$iai<n3 in bdng adamant and obstructive be could, do so at his
*n risk, for thereby he would do himself great damage.
BfiVBi's reaction to that piec^ of advice is narrated as under:*
"Tlieeyen tv^nkJed of the emperour,
