Dear Friends,
I start this thread to find out whether anyone knows about the lost parts
of
the Hindu Vedas. In Vivekananda's speeches, one can find that he has talked
about the original Vedas of sufficient volume to fill up a library but
these
were lost over the ages leaving what is popularly known as the four Vedas
today.
Since a new picture is emerging about the origins and the development of
Indians as major players in ancient history, it is possible that the
ancient
knowledge treasurehouse of India that was lost in India still somehow
survives out there in different parts of the world.
Although any surviving parts of Veda may not go by the name of Veda, anyone
noticing the similarity of thought could explore further to find out if
they
could be linked to the Vedas. It is also possible that these could have
been
translated into local languages. Or that they could be treated as sacred
manthras used for special occasions only without knowing that they are part
of the Vedas. A good example is Thai monarchy that uses Tamil hymns during
coronation.
Likely areas could be the middle-eastern languages including Hebrew and
Arabic, books in Russian, Greek and Latin, Romania, Chinese, Tibetan,
Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian etc but they could just as well be in
any
part of the world.
If somone knows the ancient countries that the Hindus had direct dealings
in
the form of trade, cultrual exchange etc in the old days, it could provide
a
good place to start looking.
Please pass on the message to other newsgroups that you are participating
in. This could turn out to be a major discovery.
