The Essence of Vedas-Introduction

IS THERE at all or is there still a secret of the Veda?
According to current conceptions the heart of that ancient
mystery has been plucked out and revealed to the gaze
of all, or rather no real secret ever existed. The hymns of the
Veda are the sacrificial compositions of a primitive and still
barbarous race written around a system of ceremonial and propitiatory
rites, addressed to personified Powers of Nature and
replete with a confused mass of half-formed myth and crude astronomical
allegories yet in the making. Only in the later hymns
do we perceive the first appearance of deeper psychological and
moral ideas—borrowed, some think, from the hostile Dravidians,
the “robbers” and “Veda-haters” freely cursed in the hymns
themselves,—and, however acquired, the first seed of the later
Vedantic speculations. This modern theory is in accord with the
received idea of a rapid human evolution from the quite recent
savage; it is supported by an imposing apparatus of critical research
and upheld by a number of Sciences, unhappily still young
and still largely conjectural in their methods and shifting in their
results,—Comparative Philology, Comparative Mythology and
the Science of Comparative Religion.
It is my object in these  to suggest a new view of
the ancient problem. I do not propose to use a negative and
destructive method directed against the received solutions, but
simply to present, positively and constructively, a larger and,
in some sort, a complementary hypothesis built upon broader
foundations,—a hypothesis which, in addition, may shed light
on one or two important problems in the history of ancient
thought and cult left very insufficiently solved by the ordinary
theories.

Hinduism and Judaism

Vedic Links to Judaism  
Brahma/Saraswati - Abraham/Sarah? 

According to Dr. Venu Gopalacharya " Abraham and Sarah (Sarai) refer to the Indian version of Brahma and Saraswati. This indicates that this is an abridgement of some of the versions in the Indian Puranas . 

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan has informed in his book, Pracya Mattu Paschatya Sanskriti, that the Greeks asserted that the Jews were Indians whom the Syrians called Judea, the Sanskrit synonym of which is Yadava or Yaudheya, and the Indians called them Kalanis, meaning orthodox followers of the scriptures. 

**
" The Jewish bible says that Abraham and Sarai went to the Middle East to escape a terrible flood that had taken place in their original homeland, at approximately the time that Dwaraka sank under the sea. I think it significant that Sarai was the half sister of Abraham and that Saraswati was the half sister of Brahma. Sarai had a handmaiden named Hagar. Ghaggar was a tributary of the river Saraswati. It would not surprise me if the tombs of Abraham and Sarai at Hebron, Israel are also those of Brahma and Saraswati. There are even those who think that Jerusalem's Temple mount could be the resting place of Krishna.There is no doubt. The Yadavas founded ancient Israel. The real name of the Jews, Yahuda, seems to suggest this."

The Jews spell the name of the city of 'Yerushalayim,' of which the Sanskrit synonym is Yadu Ishalayam, which means the temple of the Lord of the Yadus (the descendents of Lord Krishna's clan.)Star of David - the Jewish emblem consists of two interlocking triangles, one pointing up, the other down, which is a Trantic Vedic symbol or Shri Yantra. 

Ramayana:The facts discovered

Valmiki Ramayana is the most important literature representing the Indian culture. It
describes Antartica as a land of Yama, the death, situated to the south of Lanka, at the end of the
earth, it is white in colour and has unbearable darkness. All the facts are true to Antartica. It is
white because it is covered with snow. It has six months night and the conditions are unfavorable
to human race. Valmiki describes Pushpaka aeroplane which was just like a Jumbo jet.
Supersonic fighter jet, Helicopter and gliders are also described vividly. Sugreeva tells the
geography of the whole world similar to the modern one. He describes a Tal tree with three
branches,glittering from the bottom to top like gold prepared as a sign post to show the limit of
the East. Such a trident is now found at the Pacific coast of Peru, in south America. Three models
of aeroplanes like concord are found is Colombia recently. All these discoveries point to
advanced science of ancient Indians. South Indians had colonised America before Ramayana
period of 7300 years B.C. Demon King Bali had settled in South America around 17000 B.C. Nala
Vanara had prepared a temporary Setu, a bridge over the sea. For that purpose Vanaras cut the
rocks with machines, tells Valmiki. Had this true story been told to new generations, they could
have erected such bridges. But unfortunately, the true story was twisted and it was told that
rocks floated due to Rama’s name. It was a foolish pervertion of the facts.

Proud to be a Hindu

I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world
both tolerance and universal acceptance.
We believe not only in universal
toleration, but we accept all religions as true.
 I am proud to belong to a
nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions
and all nations of the earth.
 I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in
our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern
India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple
was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny.
 I am proud to belong to the
religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand
Zoroastrian nation

Importance of Food and Sleep Management in Meditation.

Definitely one should not suppress urine and motion. Bowel habit has to be regulated and
motion should be evacuated everyday regularly in the morning. This will clear the alimentary
canal and excretory systems.
According to Siddhars, indulgence in sex should be regulated between correct intervals.
Next before consuming, the water should be fully boiled. The butter milk should be fully diluted
with water and ghee should always be taken in the form of liquid after heating. Following these
simple methods will help us to get rid of diseases. These methods and the points to come will
help us to avoid death by Lord Yamatharmaraja (conqueror of life as per Hindu belief).
Drinking milk daily is advised. Milk is one of the essential diets to fulfill the body’s
requirements. Oil bath should be performed in hot water only. Sleeping and coitus during day
time is not advised for the citizen by Siddhars. For sexual act instead of an elder lady, the
younger one than yourself should be selected. Exposure to the morning Sun rays is not advised
but the evening Sunlight is stated to be good for the body. Urination and defecation is not
shunned at any time. But according to the Siddha texts, the semen should be preserved and
should be let out only at one’s own strong consent. The left hand folded and kept under the head
during sleep is advised.
Do not eat the things which are capable of producing piles (Hemorrhoids). Pungent
curd when eaten mixed with more water is good for health. Cooked materials on the previous
day, even if it is equal to nectar should be avoided. Even if a person gets Nectar (Amirtham - the
death preventing medicine), he should not eat it without hunger. Thus one who spends his life
will not be conquered by death through Yaman (conqueror of life).

Three times diet per day is not advisable, only two times diet is ideal for health. 

Again they have stressed not to sleep in day time, but advised to sleep during night only which is 

good for health. According to Siddhars theory, the ideal time interval for coitus is once in a 

month. Drinking water in between the meals is not allowed; instead drinking at the end of the 

meals is strongly advised.

Except karunai kilangu (Typhonium trilobatum), other underground tubers are not 

advised to eat. The young unripe Banana fruit is advised to be consumed and not the ripe one. 

After the diet slight walking is to be performed for good health. The citizen one who leads this 

life style won’t give way to Yaman. 

Medication should be given to induce vomiting once in six months. The act of 

purgation should be induced once in four months. Nasal drops as documented in the texts should 

be given in the intervals of every forty five days. All the above said actions will regulate the 

Vatha, Pitha and Kapha equilibrium of the body. Shaving is to be performed once in every 

week. 

 

Oil bath should be performed once in four days interval. Getting eye drops once in 

three days will help to prevent occurrence of eye diseases and also essential for maintaining 

normal vision. Flowers and the perfumes are not to be inhaled during midnight which is not also 

good for health.

Siddhar’s commandments include avoidance of the smell arising from a lady during 

her menstruation cycle, not to go near the lamb and donkey. During the night time, coming in 

contact with the shadow of a man with Lamp, shadow of the tree should be avoided which is not 

good for health. The coitus performed during the time of digestion (after a full meal) should be 

avoided. During Sunset, avoid activities such as sleeping, eating, urination, defecation, coitus, 

and wearing dirty dress. You should worship a Cow with calf, Gods, Forefathers and Teachers 

during the evening time every day. Be cautious to leave away from the place where water drips 

from the hair and nails. Your body should not come in contact with this water. Those who 

follow all the above said commandments will get in to the mouth of death. 

 By following these commandments strictly, the people of yesteryears led a peaceful life 

in accordance with the nature and experienced a disease free life. We are also advised to follow 

these rules to live the same, peaceful, eco-friendly life. It is a fact that nowadays it is not an easy 

job for us to follow all that has been said above. But our forefathers were able to practice this 

life style because they lived in accordance with the nature; they loved it, adored it, worshiped 

and protected it. So, let us also try to live in accordance with nature and try to live a life free 

from the dreaded diseases.
