The Advaitist

An unbiased reading of the Vedic corpus will throw up some rather early dates. These early dates in Vedic texts are quite in keeping with the ancient historical traditions preserved in our Vedic heritage - however many Western indologists, and Leftist academicians disregard such early dates and prefer to follow timelines of the theoretical so-called Aryan Invasion Theory (a.k.a Arya Migration Theory or Aryan Trickle-In theory), hereinafter referred to as the AIT.

In this article I share 5 interesting facts about the Rigveda , which is an ancient Indian Hindu sacred collection of hymns and is among the most sacred Hindu works. Presented below are 5 Interesting Facts about Rig Veda. #1 Interesting Facts about Rig Veda Rig Veda is the oldest existing text in any Indo-European language . Rig Veda was composed around 1700 BC with the oldest parts as early as 2000 BC. Source . When Europe and Arab lands were populated by barbaric hunter gatherers, Hindu philosophers were composing awesome hymns! #2 Interesting Facts about Rig Veda Rig Veda is the world's oldest religious text in continuous use. 4000 years of unbroken tradition is something unheard of anywhere else in the world ! In Western countries, given their extreme materialism, even children don't take care of their parents, so tradition is an alien concept for them. #3 Interesting Facts about Rig Veda The Rig Veda was not written down until ~500 AD. From 2000 BC til...

Sense of art of the Rig Vedic people is seen in the following hymns: 1.62.13 सनायते गोतम इन्द्र नव्यमतक्षद्ब्रह्म हरियोजनाय । सुनीथाय नः शवसान नोधाः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात् ॥१३॥ 1.109.1 वि ह्यख्यं मनसा वस्य इच्छन्निन्द्राग्नी ज्ञास उत वा सजातान् । नान्या युवत्प्रमतिरस्ति मह्यं स वां धियं वाजयन्तीमतक्षम् ॥१॥   1.171.2 एष व स्तोमो मरुतो नमस्वान्हृदा तष्टो मनसा धायि देवाः । उपेमा यात मनसा जुषाणा यूयं हि ष्ठा नमस इद्वृधासः ॥२॥ 2.19.8 एवा ते गृत्समदाः शूर मन्मावस्यवो न वयुनानि तक्षुः । ब्रह्मण्यन्त इन्द्र ते नवीय इषमूर्जं सुक्षितिं सुम्नमश्युः ॥८॥ 7.7.6 एते द्युम्नेभिर्विश्वमातिरन्त मन्त्रं ये वारं नर्या अतक्षन् । प्र ये विशस्तिरन्त श्रोषमाणा आ ये मे अस्य दीधयन्नृतस्य ॥६॥  7.64.4 यो वां गर्तं मनसा तक्षदेतमूर्ध्वां धीतिं कृणवद्धारयच्च । उक्षेथां मित्रावरुणा घृतेन ता राजाना सुक्षितीस्तर्पयेथाम् ॥४॥ [WIP]

Secular or non-religious hymns in the Rig Veda: 1. Wedding Hymns - 10.85 2. Funeral Hymns - 10.14 to 18 3. Gambler's Lament - 10.34 4. Didactic Hymn - 10.117 5. Riddles - 1.164, 7.29 6. Frog Hymns - 8.103 7. Dialogue Hymns - 10.10 / 10.95 8. Prophesy - 2.42, 2.43 9. Protection against poisonous creature - 1.191 10. Relief against trouble created by co-wife - 10.145

Root: RRi becomes Stem: ra RRi -> ra + tha = goer, car, vehicle a. Made of native timber khadira, siMShapA - 3.53.19 shalmali - 10.85.20 kiMShuka b. Drawn mostly by oxen, sometimes by horses, antelopes and birds (ashvins)

The Rig Vedic "ratha" translated often as "vehicle" or "chariot" is not the same as the European horse-drawn chariot. It is variously described as: pRRithu - "broad" (1.123.1) bRRihat - "tall, big" (6.61.13) variShTha...vandhura - "widest...box/seating space" (6.47.9) trivandhura - "three seated" (1.41.2; 7.71.4; etc) aShTavandhura - "eight seated" (10.53.7) The only real-life, not mythological, ratha in a race is mentioned in 10.102 and this is pulled by oxen. The Rig Veda does not make a single mention of a real-life battle with horse-drawn rathas. Source: Nicholas Kazanas
