Synopsis:
It can be scientifically proven that the Vedic culture is indigenous,
through archaeology, the study of cultural continuity, by linguistic
analysis and genetic research. Therefore proving the Aryan invasion
theory is false.
The Vedas and Hinduism are not mythology but
fact. The Aryan invasion theory was a lie, started by people who were
racially bias and Christian missionaries.
Many of the worlds greatest thinkers admired the Vedas as great repositories of advanced knowledge and high thinking.
"That
I encounter in the Vedas deep original lofty thoughts, suffused with a
high and holy seriousness" - Arthur Schopenhauer (the famed German
philosopher and writer)
"I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad
Gita" - Ralph Waldo Emerson (well known early American writer, who read
the Vedas daily)
"In the morning I bathe my intellect in the
stupendous philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, in comparison with which our
modern world and it's literature seems puny and trivial" - Henry David
Thoreau (American writer, historian and philosopher.)
"Vedanta is
the most impressive metaphysics the human mind has conceived" - Alfred
North Whitehead (British mathematician, logician and philosopher)
"The Vedas are the greatest privilege of this century" - Julius Robert Oppenheimer (the principle developer of the Atomic bomb)
"India
was Chinas teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar,
phonetics..." and so forth. - Lin Yutang (Chinese scholar and author)
"Everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges" - Francois Voltaire (famous French writer and philosopher)
From
these statements we see many renowned intellectuals believed that the
origins of scientific thought was the Vedas. The Vedic literatures
contain descriptions of advanced scientific techniques, sometimes even
more sophisticated than those used in our modern technological world.
Vedic
cosmology is yet another ancient Vedic science which can be confirmed
by modern scientific findings and this is acknowledged by well known
scientists and authors.
"Vedic cosmology is the only one in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology" - Carl Sagan
"A cosmogony which no European conception has ever surpassed" - Nobel Laureate Count Maurice Maeterlinck
French
astronomer Jean-Claude Bailly corroborated the antiquity and accuracy
of the Vedic astronomical measurements as "More ancient than those of
the Greeks or Egyptians" and that, "the movements of the stars
calculated 4,500 years ago, does not differ by a minute from the tables
of today."
Cosmology and other scientific accomplishments of
ancient India spread to other countries along with mercantile and
cultural exchanges. There are almost one hundred references in the Rig
Veda alone to the ocean and maritime activity. This is confirmed by
Indian historian R. C. Majumdar, who stated that the people of the
Indus-Sarasvata Civilization engaged in trade with Sooma and centers of
culture in western Asia and Crete.
"Pythagoras went to the Ganges to learn geometry" - Voltaire
Abraham
Seidenberg (author of the authoritative "History Of Mathematics".)
credits the Sulba Sutras as inspiring all mathematics of the ancient
world, form Babylonian to Egypt to Greece.
As Voltaire and
Seidenberg have stated, many highly significant mathematical concepts
have come from the Vedic culture, such as; the theorem bearing the name
of the Greek mathematician Pythagoras is found in the Shatapatha
Brahmana as well as the Sulba Sutra, the Indian mathematical treatise,
written centuries before Pythagoras was born. - The Decimal system,
based on powers of 10, where the remainder is carried over to the next
column, first mentioned in the Taittiriya Samhita of the Black
Yajurveda. - The introduction of zero as both a numerical value and a
place marker. - The concept of infinity. - The binary number system,
essential for computers, was used in Vedic verse meters. - A hashing
technique, similar to that used by modern search algorithms, such as
Googles, was used in South Indian musicology. From the name of a raga
one can determine the notes of the raga.
The Vedas however are
not as well known for presenting historical and scientific knowledge, as
they are for expounding subtle sciences such as the power of mantras.
