She says that Mohammed Gahzini did not kill hindus in Somnath raid.She says that even though ghaznavi has said that he had killed 50,000 hindus, she says that the figure was notional and not the real figure.weblink is given below.
Age of vedas cannot be proved by anybody.They must be as old as human cililization itself.Tradition says that rishis passed it on orally for milleniums.Our vedas were never written down.So how will you verify its age?Our language and culture are as old as ganges and himalayas are.
I am new to this group and this is my first mail. The statement, 'vedas must be as old as human cililization itself' is really unbelievable. So as soon as the human evolved from the ape, he started compiling vedas, Sampath?
I just took Mr.Sampath's mails to start communicating with others in the group. I thank him also. I find many useful historical information from the mail I got in this few days. Thanks to all.
Hi selva, welcome to the group.Have great fun here.
I said "vedas are as old as human CIVILIZATION" and not "vedas are as old as human race". Once humans started to build great societies they flourished.Till then they were nomads and apemen.
Vedas were passed on to us even before a written script evolved.They preserved it orally for milleniums.Then only written script evolved.So they must be as old as our civilization itself.
If you believe purushasuktham, it says vishnu created vedas and from vedas created the world.Bible says about this as "in the beginning there was the word".
Adding to Sampath's comments, I like to share one interesting thing. I read this in 'Deivathin Kural' and was told by our Maha periyava. For millinieums our vedas were preserved only through hearsay. Vedas should not be written and only should be learnt and practiced orally (veda adyayanam). Once the westerners started writing down,breaking the tradition, we started loosing vedas. Those who know vedas are very less in number today and pariyava says, its becuase of the lethargy that we have it written and need not memorise it.
