INDRA IN A TEMPLE; Lalgudi Veda post

Vedas are mysterious; the more we read the more we wonder. Even with the available English translations of foreigners who did not understand or appreciate our culture and religion, we know a lot of things. We must read it between the lines. In Hindi, Marathi and Guajarati there are original translations and interpretations; In many other languages, only translations are available

Here are some more wonders:–

Miraculous powers are attributed to the prayers of Rishis (seers) in the following passages in the Rig Veda:

viswaatrasya rakshati brahma idam bhaaratam janam—RV 3-53-12

Praises to Indra have I sung, sustainer of this earth and heaven. This prayer of Viswamitra keeps secure the race of Bharatas.

the race of Bharatas is the descendants of Viswamitra, Bharata being the son of  celebrated Sakuntala,  the daughter of Vviswamitra and Apsaras Mena.

evam nu kam daasaraaknje sudaasam praavad

indro brahmanaa vo vasishtaahaa- RV 7-33-3

“So verily, with these he crossed the river (Yamuna), in company with these he slaughtered Bheda.”

vasishtasya stuvatah indrah asnot urum trutsumya akrunod lokam RV 7-33-5

“Like thirsty men they looked to heaven, in the battle with the Ten Kings, surrounded and imploring.

Then Indra heard Vaishta, as he praised him, and gave the Trustus ample room and freedom.”

These passages show that Indra answered the prayers by giving them miraculous powers. They could cross even deep rivers.

Later we came to know about Vasudeva with Krishna crossed the River Yamuna and Moses crossed the sea with his followers.

The mention of River Yamuna in the Battle of Ten Kings surprised the historians. Even during this early period, the Vedic Hindus spread up to River Yamuna. The Battle of Ten Kings can be compared to several Wars fought by the Three Tamil Kingdoms Chera, Choza and Pandya. Every time one king attacked the other two kings, a lot of chieftains joined one or the other. So the kings were praised as one who defeated Nine Kings or seven kings. Though all the Tamil kings spoke the same language, followed the same culture and same religion, fights like Ten Kings War of Rig Veda (Dasaraja Yuddha) occurred through out 1500 years of Tamil history. Tamils were the longest fighting race in the world.

Half baked foreigners, without understanding  Indian culture, dubbed one or two as Aryans and others as Dravidians or aborigines. The fact of the matter is they were all Vedic Hindus. Foreign coolies concocted their own stories. If one has to understand Indian culture one must study all the 2500 poems of Tamil literature. We have to thank god for foreigners not able to read Tamil poems; otherwise they would have dubbed half of them as Aryans and others Dravidians.

SECRET SPEECHES OF SEERS

“To these who knowest , Agni, you Disposer, all these wise SECRET SPEECHES I have uttered.

Sung to you, sage, the charming words of wisdom, to you, O Singer, with my thoughts and praises” – RV 4-3-16

2000 year old Tamil Sangam Literature translated the word Veda into ‘Marai’ which means ‘Secre’t, ‘Hidden’ (meaning).

DIRECTIONS IN THE BRAHMANA LITERATURE

GODS CAME FROM THE EAST!

The severest blow to all the foreigners who advocated the Aryan Invasion Theory comes from the Brahmana Literatures.

“FROM THE EAST THE GODS CAME WESTWARDS TO THE MEN;HENCE ONE OFFERS TO THEM WHILE STANDING WITH HIS FACE TOWARDS THE EAST”-Satapata Brahmana 2-6-1-11

“One must not sleep with his head towards the west, lest he should sleep stretching his legs towards the gods. The Southern quarters belongs to the Fathers (Pitrs=departed souls); and the Western one to the Snakes (s+naka= Nagas); and that faultless one is the one where the gods ascended to the Heaven. And the Northern quarters belongs to Men; Hence in human practice a hall or a shed is constructed with the top beams running from South to North because the North is the quarter of men. It is only for a consecrated, not for an unconsecrated person, that is constructed with the top beams running from West to East.—Sat. Brah3-1-1-7

(This shows that some sort of Vastu Shastra existed from the Vedic period)

VASTU SHASTRA?

“He cuts off some goat’s hair and lets loose the animals towards the North East for this North East is the region of both gods and men – he thus bestows cattle on that region, and hence both gods and men subsist on cattle- 6-4-4-22

Standing with his face towards North East, Prajapati (Brahma, the Creator) created creatures, and again North East is the quarter of both gods and men…………… In that quarter is the GATE OF THE WORLD OF HEAVEN.—6-6-2-2/4

“Standing with his face towards North East, Prajapati (Brahma, the Creator) created offspring by means of the Vishnu strides; in like manner does the sacrifice now, standing towards North east, create offspring by means of the Vishnu strides. 6-7-2-12

“In whatever direction he may intend to drive, let him first drive east, for the East is Agni’s region 6-8-1-8

“With the they proceed to South west quarter, for that is Nirrti’s quarter (Nirrti= Goddess of Evil); he thus places Nirrti in Nirrti’s quarter-7-2-1-8

“THE EAST TENDS GODWARD – meaning towards Agni 7-3-21 “

(I consider this as the origin of Vastu Shastra; so Vastu Shastra is several thousand years old!!!)

EAST IS MORE IMPORTANT!

Foreigners said that Vedic culture spread from the western direction (Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan) to the East, but Vedic scriptures reject those bluffs. Indra is allocated East and Varuna is allocated West in Vedic scriptures. Apart from tha,t the rivers are listed from east to West. And Hindus also believe that Bhageeratha and his forefathers lived on the banks of Ganges. Moreover, Kasi/Benares/ Varanasi was the oldest city in the world and it is on the banks of Ganges.  All of these prove that the westerners’ views are incorrect.
