संस्कृत साहित्य का महत्व

संस्कृत साहित्य का महत्व

विश्वभर की समस्त प्राचीन भाषाओं में संस्कृत का सर्वप्रथम और उच्च स्थान है। विश्व-साहित्य की पहली पुस्तक ऋग्वेद इसी भाषा का देदीप्यमान रत्न है। भारतीय संस्कृति का रहस्य इसी भाषा में निहित है। संस्कृत का अध्ययन किये बिना भारतीय संस्कृति का पूर्ण ज्ञान कभी सम्भव नहीं है।
अनेक प्राचीन एवं अर्वाचीन भाषाओं की यह जननी है। आज भी भारत की समस्त भाषाएँ इसी वात्सल्यमयी जननी के स्तन्यामृत से पुष्टि पा रही हैं। पाश्चात्य विद्वान इसके अतिशय समृद्ध और विपुल साहित्य को देखकर आश्चर्य-चकित रह गए हैं। उन लोगों ने वैज्ञानिक ढंग से इसका अध्ययन किया और गम्भीर गवेषणाएँ की हैं - एवं साथ में विश्व की दूसरी प्राचीन भाषाओं का मन्थन करके वे यदि 'भाषा-विज्ञान' ऐसे अपूर्व शास्त्र का अविष्कार कर सके तो इसका श्रेय संस्कृत भाषा के गम्भीर अध्ययन को है। समस्त भारतीय भाषाओं को जोड़ने वाली कड़ी यदि कोई भाषा है तो वह संस्कृत ही है।
विश्व की समस्त प्राचीन भाषाओं और उनके साहित्य (वाङ्मय) में संस्कृत का अपना विशिष्ट महत्त्व है। यह महत्व अनेक कारणों और दृष्टियों से है। भारत के सांस्कृतिक, ऐतिहासिक, धार्मिक, अध्यात्मिक, दर्शनिक, सामाजिक और राजनीतिक जीवन एवं विकास के सोपानों की संपूर्ण व्याख्या संस्कृत वाङ्मय के माध्यम से आज उपलब्ध है। सहस्राब्दियों से इस भाषा और इसके वाङ्मय को भारत में सर्वाधिक प्रतिष्ठा प्राप्त रही है। भारत की यह सांस्कृतिक भाषा रही है। सहस्राब्दियों तक समग्र भारत को सांस्कृतिक और भावात्मक एकता में आबद्ध रखने को इस भाषा ने महत्वपूर्ण कार्य किया है। इसी कारण भारतीय मनीषा ने इस भाषा को अमरभाषा या देववाणी के नाम से सम्मानित किया है।

 ऋग्वेदसंहिता - पुरातनतम ग्रंथ

ऋग्वेदसंहिता के कतिपय मंडलों की भाषा संस्कृतवाणी का सर्वप्राचीन उपलब्ध स्वरूप है। ऋग्वेदसंहिता इस भाषा का पुरातनतम ग्रंथ है। यहाँ यह भी स्मरण रखना चाहिए कि ऋग्वेदसंहिता केवल संस्कृतभाषा का प्राचीनतम ग्रंथ नहीं है - अपितु वह आर्य जाति की संपूर्ण ग्रंथराशि में भी प्राचीनतम ग्रंथ है। दूसरे शब्दों में, समस्त विश्ववाङ्मय का वह (ऋक्संहिता) सबसे पुरातन उपलब्ध ग्रंथ है। दस मंडलो के इस ग्रंथ का द्वितीय से सप्तम मंडल तक का अंश प्राचीनतम और प्रथम तथा दशम मंडल अपेक्षाकृत अर्वाचीन है। ऋग्वेदकाल से लेकर आज तक उस भाषा की अखंड और अविच्छिन्न परंपरा चली आ रही है। ऋक्संहिता केवल भारतीय वाङ्मय की ही अमूल्य निधि नहीं है - वह समग्र आर्यजाति की, समस्त विश्ववाङ्मय की सर्वाधिक महत्वपूर्ण विरासत है।
विश्व की प्राचीन प्रागैतिहासिक संस्कृतियों को जो अध्ययन हुआ है, उसमें कदाचित् आर्यजाति से संबद्ध अनुशीलन का विशिष्ट स्थान है। इस वैशिष्ट्य का कारण यही ऋग्वेदसंहिता है। आर्यजाति की आद्यतम निवासभूमि, उनकी संस्कृति, सभ्यता, सामाजिक जीवन आदि के विषय में अनुशीलन हुए हैं ऋक्संहिता उन सबका सर्वाधिक महत्वपूर्ण और प्रामाणिक स्रोत रहा है। पश्चिम के विद्वानों ने संस्कृत भाषा और ऋक्संहिता से परिचय पाने के कारण हो तुलनात्मक भाषाविज्ञान के अध्ययन को सही दिशा दी तथा आर्यभाषाओं के भाषाशास्त्रीय विवेचन में प्रौढ़ि एवं शास्त्रीयता का विकास हुआ। भारत के वैदिक ऋषियों और विद्वानों ने अपने वैदिक वाङ्मय को मौखिक और श्रुतिपरंपरा द्वारा प्राचीनतम रूप में अत्यंत सावधानी के साथ सुरक्षित और अधिकृत अनाए रखा। किसी प्रकार के ध्वनिपरक, मात्रापरक यहाँ तक कि स्वर (ऐक्सेंट) परक परिवर्तन से पूर्णत: बचाते रहने का नि:स्वार्थ भाव में वैदिक वेदपाठी सहस्रब्दियों तक अथक प्रयास करते रहे। "वेद" शब्द से मंत्रभाग (संहिताभाग) और "ब्राह्मण" का बोध माना जाता था। "ब्राह्मण" भाग के तीन अंश - (1) ब्राह्मण, (2) आरण्यक और (3) उपनिषद् कहे गए हैं। लिपिकला के विकास से पूर्व मौखिक परंपरा द्वारा वेदपाठियों ने इनका संरक्षण किया। बहुत सा वैदिक वाङ्मय धीरे-धीरे लुप्त हो गया है। पर आज भी जितना उपलब्ध है उसका महत्व असीम है। भारतीय दृष्टि से वेद को अपौरुषेय माना गया है। कहा जाता है, मंत्रद्रष्टा ऋषियों ने मंत्रों का साक्षात्कार किया। आधुनिक जगत् इसे स्वीकार नहीं करता। फिर भी यह माना जाता है कि वेदव्यास ने वैदिक मंत्रों का संकलन करते हुए संहिताओं के रूप में उन्हें प्रतिष्ठित किया। अत: संपूर्ण भारतीय संस्कृति वेदव्यास की युग-युग तक ऋणी बनी रहेगी।

 वेद, वेदांग, उपवेद

यहाँ साहित्य शब्द का प्रयोग "वाङ्मय" के लिए है। ऊपर वेद संहिताओं का उल्लेख हुआ है। वेद चार हैं- ऋग्वेद, यजुर्वेंद, सामवेद और अथर्ववेद । इनकी अनेक शाखाएँ थीं जिनमें बहुत सी लुप्त हो चुकी हैं और कुछ सुरक्षित बच गई हैं जिनके संहिताग्रंथ हमें आज उपलब्ध हैं। इन्हीं की शाखाओं से संबद्ध ब्राह्मण, अरण्यक और उपनिषद् नामक ग्रंथों का विशाल वाङ्मय प्राप्त है। वेदांगों में सर्वप्रमुख कल्पसूत्र हैं जिनके अवांतर वर्गों के रूप में और सूत्र, गृह्यसूत्र और धर्मसूत्र (शुल्बसूत्र भी है) का भी व्यापक साहित्य बचा हुआ है। इन्हीं की व्याख्या के रूप में समयानुसार धर्मसंहिताओं और स्मृतिग्रंथों का जो प्रचुर वाङ्मय बना, मनुस्मृति का उनमें प्रमुख स्थान है। वेदांगों में शिक्षा-प्रातिशाख्य, व्याकरण, निरुक्त, ज्योतिष, छंद शास्त्र से संबद्ध ग्रंथों का वैदिकोत्तर काल से निर्माण होता रहा है। अब तक इन सबका विशाल साहित्य उपलब्ध है। आज ज्योतिष की तीन शाखाएँ-गणित, सिद्धांत और फलित विकसित हो चुकी हैं और भारतीय गणितज्ञों की विश्व की बहुत सी मौलिक देन हैं। पाणिनि और उनसे पूर्वकालीन तथा परवर्ती वैयाकरणों द्वारा जाने कितने व्याकरणों की रचना हुई जिनमें पाणिनि का व्याकरण-संप्रदाय 2500 वर्षों से प्रतिष्ठित माना गया और आज विश्व भर में उसकी महिमा मान्य हो चुकी है। पाणिनीय व्याकरण को त्रिमुनि व्याकरण भी कहते हैं, क्योकि पाणिनि, कात्यायन और पतञ्जलि इन तीन मुनियों के सत्प्रयास से यह व्याकरण पूर्णता को प्राप्त किया। यास्क का निरुक्त पाणिनि से पूर्वकाल का ग्रंथ है और उससे भी पहले निरुक्तिविद्या के अनेक आचार्य प्रसिद्ध हो चुके थे। शिक्षाप्रातिशाख्य ग्रंथों में कदाचित् ध्वनिविज्ञान, शास्त्र आदि का जितना प्राचीन और वैज्ञानिक विवेचन भारत की संस्कृत भाषा में हुआ है- वह अतुलनीय और आश्चर्यकारी है। उपवेद के रूप में चिकित्साविज्ञान के रूप में आयुर्वेद विद्या का वैदिकाल से ही प्रचार था और उसके पंडिताग्रंथ (चरकसंहिता, सुश्रुतसंहिता, भेडसंहिता आदि) प्राचीन भारतीय मनीषा के वैज्ञानिक अध्ययन की विस्मयकारी निधि है। इस विद्या के भी विशाल वाङ्मय का कालांतर में निर्माण हुआ। इसी प्रकार धनुर्वेद और राजनीति, गांधर्ववेद आदि को उपवेद कहा गया है तथा इनके विषय को लेकर ग्रंथ के रूप में अथवा प्रसंगतिर्गत संदर्भों में पर्याप्त विचार मिलता है।

 दर्शनशास्त्र

वेद, वेदांग, उपवेद आदि के अतिरिक्त संस्कृत वाङ्मय में दर्शनशास्त्र का वाङ्मय भी अत्यंत विशाल है। पूर्वमीमांसा, उत्तर मीमांसा, सांख्य, योग, वैशेषिक और न्याय-इन छह प्रमुख आस्तिक दर्शनों के अतिरिक्त पचासों से अधिक आस्तिक-नास्तिक दर्शनों के नाम तथा उनके वाङ्मय उपलब्ध हैं जिनमें आत्मा, परमात्मा, जीवन, जगत्पदार्थमीमांसा, तत्वमीमांसा आदि के संदर्भ में अत्यंत प्रौढ़ विचार हुआ है। आस्तिक षड्दर्शनों के प्रवर्तक आचार्यों के रूप में व्यास, जैमिनि, कपिल, पतंजि, कणाद, गौतम आदि के नाम संस्कृत साहित्य में अमर हैं। अन्य आस्तिक दर्शनों में शैव, वैष्णव, तांत्रिक आदि सैकड़ों दर्शन आते हैं। आस्तिकेतर दर्शनों में बौद्धदर्शनों, जैनदर्शनों आदि के संस्कृत ग्रंथ बड़े ही प्रौढ़ और मौलिक हैं। इनमें गंभीर विवेचन हुआ है तथा उनकी विपुल ग्रंथराशि आज भी उपलब्ध है। चार्वाक, लोकायतिक, गार्हपत्य आदि नास्तिक दर्शनों का उल्लेख भी मिलता है। वेदप्रामण्य को माननेवाले आस्तिक और तदितर नास्तिक के आचार्यों और मनीषियों ने अत्यंत प्रचुर मात्रा में दार्शनिक वाङ्मय का निर्माण किया है। दर्शन सूत्र के टीकाकार के रूप में परमादृत शंकराचार्य का नाम संस्कृत साहित्य में अमर है।

 लौकिक साहित्य

कौटिल्य का अर्थशास्त्र, वात्स्यायन का कामसूत्र, भरत का नाट्य शास्त्र आदि संस्कृत के कुछ ऐसे अमूल्य ग्रंथरत्न हैं - जिनका समस्त संसार के प्राचीन वाङ्मय में स्थान है। श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता का संसार में कहा जाता है - बाईबिल के बाद सर्वाधिक प्रचार है तथा विश्व की उत्कृष्टतम कृतियों में उसका उच्च और अन्यतम स्थान है।
वैदिक वाङ्मय के अनंतर सांस्कृतिक दृष्टि से वाल्मीकि के रामायण और व्यास के महाभारत की भारत में सर्वोच्च प्रतिष्ठा मानी गई है। महाभारत का आज उपलब्ध स्वरूप एक लाख पद्यों का है। प्राचीन भारत की पौराणिक गाथाओं, समाजशास्त्रीय मान्यताओं, दार्शनिक आध्यात्मिक दृष्टियों, मिथकों, भारतीय ऐतिहासिक जीवनचित्रों आदि के साथ-साथ पौराणिक इतिहास, भूगोल और परंपरा का महाभारत महाकोश है। वाल्मीकि रामायण आद्य लौकिक महाकाव्य है। उसकी गणना आज भी विश्व के उच्चतम काव्यों में की जाती है। इनके अतिरिक्त अष्टादश पुराणों और उपपुराणादिकों का महाविशाल वाङ्मय है जिनमें पौराणिक या मिथकीय पद्धति से केवल आर्यों का ही नहीं, भारत की समस्त जनता और जातियों का सांस्कृति इतिहास अनुबद्ध है। इन पुराणकार मनीषियों ने भारत और भारत के बाहर से आयात सांस्कृति एवं आध्यात्मिक ऐक्य की प्रतिष्ठा का सहस्राब्दियों तक सफल प्रयास करते हुए भारतीय सांस्कृति को एकसूत्रता में आबद्ध किया है।
संस्कृत के लोकसाहित्य के आदिकवि वाल्मीकि के बाद गद्य-पद्य के लाखों श्रव्यकाव्यों और दृश्यकाव्यरूप नाटकों की रचना होती चली जिनमें अधिकांश लुप्त या नष्ट हो गए। पर जो स्वल्पांश आज उपलब्ध है, सारा विश्व उसका महत्व स्वीकार करता है। कवि कालिदास के अभिज्ञानशाकुतलम् नाटक को विश्व के सर्वश्रेष्ठ नाटकों में स्थान प्राप्त है। अश्वघोष, भास, भवभूति, बाणभट्ट, भारवि, माघ, श्रीहर्ष, शूद्रक, विशाखदत्त आदि कवि और नाटककारों को अपने अपने क्षेत्रों में अत्यंत उच्च स्थान प्राप्त है। सर्जनात्मक नाटकों के विचार से भी भारत का नाटक साहित्य अत्यंत संपन्न और महत्वशाली है। साहित्यशास्त्रीय समालोचन पद्धति के विचार से नाट्यशास्त्र और साहित्यशास्त्र के अत्यंत प्रौढ़, विवेचनपूर्ण और मौलिक प्रचुरसख्यक कृतियों का संस्कृत में निर्माण हुआ है। सिद्धांत की दृष्टि से रसवाद और ध्वनिवाद के विचारों को मौलिक और अत्यंत व्यापक चिंतन माना जाता है। स्तोत्र, नीति और सुभाषित के भी अनेक उच्च कोटि के ग्रंथ हैं। इनके अतिरिक्त शिल्प, कला, संगीत, नृत्य आदि उन सभी विषयों के प्रौढ़ ग्रंथ संस्कृत भाषा के माध्यम से निर्मित हुए हैं जिनका किसी भी प्रकार से आदिमध्यकालीन भारतीय जीवन में किसी पक्ष के साथ संबंध रहा है। ऐसा समझा जाता है कि द्यूतविद्या, चौरविद्या आदि जैसे विषयों पर ग्रंथ बनाना भी संस्कृत पंडितों ने नहीं छोड़ा था। एक बात और थी। भारतीय लोकजीवन में संस्कृत की ऐसी शास्त्रीय प्रतिष्ठा रही है कि ग्रंथों की मान्यता के लिए संस्कृत में रचना को आवश्यक माना जाता था। इसी कारण बौद्धों और जैनों, के दर्शन, धर्मसिद्धांत, पुराणगाथा आदि नाना पक्षों के हजारों ग्रंथों को पाली या प्राकृत में ही नहीं संस्कृत में सप्रास रचना हुई है। संस्कृत विद्या की न जाने कितनी महत्वपूर्ण शाखाओं का यहाँ उल्लख भी अल्पस्थानता के कारण नहीं किया जा सकता है। परंतु निष्कर्ष रूप से पूर्ण विश्वास के साथ कहा जा सकता है कि भारत की प्राचीन संस्कृत भाषा-अत्यंत समर्थ, संपन्न और ऐतिहासिक महत्व की भाषा है। इस प्राचीन वाणी का वाङ्मय भी अत्यंत व्यापक, सर्वतोमुखी, मानवतावादी तथा परमसंपन्न रहा है। विश्व की भाषा और साहित्य में संस्कृत भाषा और साहित्य का स्थान अत्यंत महत्वशाली है। समस्त विश्व के प्रच्यविद्याप्रेमियों ने संस्कृत को जो प्रतिष्ठा और उच्चासन दिया है, उसके लिए भारत के संस्कृतप्रेमी सदा कृतज्ञ बने रहेंगे।

 ऋग्वेदसंहिता

यह संस्कृतभाषा का प्राचीनतम ग्रंथ है ।ये दुनिया के सर्वप्रथम ग्रन्थों में से एक है ।इसका रचना काल ईसा से ४५००-११०० पूर्व माना जाता है ,भारतिय विद्वानों ने वेदों के रचनाकाल का आरंभ ४५०० ई.पू. से माना है परन्तु युरोपिय विद्वान इसका रच्हना काल ईसा से २०००-११०० पूर्व मानते है।

 महाभारत और रामायण

यह संस्कृतभाषा के प्राचीनतम इतिहास ग्रंथ है, इसे आमतौर पर वैदिक युग में लगभग १४०० इसवी ईसा पूर्व के समय का माना जाता है। विद्वानों ने इसकी तिथी निरधारित करने के लिये इसमें वर्णित सूर्य ग्रहण और चंद्र ग्रहणों के बारे में अध्ययन किया है और इसे ३१ वीं सदी इसा पूर्व का मानते हैं, लेकिन मतभेद अभी भी जारी है।

 संस्कृत साहित्य की विशेषताएँ

संस्कृत साहित्य की महानता को प्रसिद्ध भारतविद जुआन मस्कारो (Juan Mascaro) ने इन शब्दों में वर्णन किया है:
Sanskrit literature is a great literature. We have the great songs of the Vedas, the splendor of the Upanishds, the glory of the Bhagvat-Gita, the vastness (100,000 verses) of the Mahabaharat, the tenderness and the herosim found in the Ramayana, the wisdom of the fables and stories of India, the scientific philosophy of Sankhya, the psychological philosophy of Vedanta, the Laws of Manu, the grammar of Panini and other scientific writings, the lyrical poetry, and dramas of Kalidas. Sanskrit literature, on the whole, is a romantic interwoven with idealism and practical wisdom, and with a passionate longing for spiritual vision.

SANATAN, VEDIC DHARMA

Photo: HOW IS SANATAN DHARMA (HINDUISM ) DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RELIGIONS ?

Open source religion :: If Wikipedia is an encyclopedia then Hinduism is a religion .Here religious democracy is practiced religiously. It absorbs everything, there are regular moderations, revolutions, induction of local beliefs and deities .

No one God but one God :: It's not a polytheistic religion where Ares will get angry if you pray Hercules. Hanuman will be as happy as Ganesha whether you worship him or not. But every Hindu tries to stick to a God that suits him, so in the end its one God.

No one prophet but hundreds :: We have seven Rishis, after them hundreds of other Revolutionary saints and philosophers. Each one of them belong to a school of thought and everyone has a following.

No single philosophy or version of reality :: Dvaita, advaita, samkhya, yoga, nyaya, vaisheshika, vishista-advaita, bauddha, jain and sikh. Choose whichever pleases you .

No single book to follow :: follow bhagavad gita or ashtavakra gita, follow veda or just vedanta. Follow samkhya karika or brihadaranyaka upanishad. Anything and everything is open to you. Read, explore and enjoy.

Science is Religion and Religion is science :: Not every school of thought is creationist in Hinduism. Samkhya propounds creation of being from non-being. Those scientists who invented surgery, ayurveda, number system, explored astronomical objects were devout Hindus not necessarily believing in a personal God.

Yes to Evolution :: every soul has to pass through 8,400,000 lifetimes in various species to get human form. Layman or poetic way to express evolution.

Vedas :: They are not word of any personal God, but are apaurushya, they are not concieved by one prophet but clans of prophets. They are universal sounds "shabda" and no single man can claim authority over them. Since they are the eternal truth and eternal truth is very difficult to get. Very truly vedas are as mysterious as the truth itself.

Treat God like Human :: Idols are human-like or anthropomorphic or just animals. Each day Idols are offered the food and dressed with new dresses. Festivals are for us and for the idols as well.

No proselytization :: One of the few religions in which proselytization/conversion is not a part of spiritual diet. No forced conversions. Because forcing itself defeats the concept of open source Sanatan Dharma.

Absorb and learn from others :: Islam came, christianity came and so did jews and parsis and mingled with Sanatana Dharma. Religious sharing at its best. Sufism could only flourish in India because here Idolatry can be practiced But sufism told native Indians about love and they started doing Bhakti.

Hinduism is the religion that could rightly capture the infinitude of universe and the value each human holds in this vast scheme.HOW IS SANATAN DHARMA (HINDUISM ) DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RELIGIONS ?

HINDUISM IN AUSTRALIA

As per the 2012 census, Vedic Hinduism has become the fastest growing religion in Australia.There are more than 200,000 Hindus. ISKCON has been playing a great role in spreading Vedic Sanatana Dharma.

Here is the link to a video showing functioning of a ISKCON run school "Govardhana Gurukula".

 

ELLORA TEMPLE-KAILASH TEMPLE

Photo: Kailash Temple, Ellora cave temple complex

It is a megalith carved out of one single black granite rock. It is estimated that about 400,000 tons of rocks was scooped out over years to construct this monolithic structure. It was built in the 8th century by the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I .
The Kailash Temple is notable for its vertical excavation—carvers started at the top of the original rock, and excavated downward, exhuming the temple out of the existing rock. The traditional methods were rigidly followed by the master architect which could not have been achieved by excavating from the front.Kailash Temple, Ellora cave temple complex

SRI RAM AND HISTORY OF RAMAYAN

Photo: JEWELS OF BHARATAM ….. SERIES [TM]

                                " SHARE IF YOU CARE "

SHRI RAMA AND THE HISTORY OF RAMAYANA …..MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS OLD …. AS RAMAYANA SAYS RAVANA’S CASTLE WAS GAURDED BY FOUR TUSKED ELEPHANTS …..
Four-tusked Trilophodon lived from the Miocene epoch (26 million years ago) to the Pleistocene epoch (2 million years ago) in Eurasia, Africa, and North America.

From today’s scientific point of evolution of animals in accordance with the geological eras go back to millions of years back. How, then such description could be found in Valmiki Ramayana?
The antiquity of Valmiki Ramayana, there has been specific references and description about certain strange animals as found in Sundarakandam is as follows:

1. The grand palace of Ravana was protected by many strange fierce animals.
2. Certain characteristic that horses were neighing.
3. There were many elephants and they had four tusks.
4. Protected by fat animals and birds.
5. The palace was protected by four tusked elephants and as well as three tusked animals. However, three tusked animals are not named.

The first four depictions are in Sundarakanda (4.25-30) and the fifth one also in Sundarakanda (9.5) of Valmiki Ramayana.

It had beautiful entrances and was protected by thousands of rakshasas with great strength.

Four-tusked Trilophodon lived from the Miocene epoch (26 million years ago) to the Pleistocene epoch (2 million years ago) in Eurasia, Africa, and North America. Also seen in the Miocene epoch were the downward-curving tusks of Deinotherium. Platybelodon, with its lowered, flattened, shovel-shaped tusks probably used for scooping vegetation from the water, occupied Asia and North America in the late Miocene epoch and the Pliocene epoch (7 million years ago). The largest proboscidean, the Imperial Mammoth, Mammithera imperater, was well adapted to the cold in Eurasia, Africa, and North America during the Pleistocene epoch. Its teeth were much like those of the modern elephant.SHRI RAMA AND THE HISTORY OF RAMAYANA …..MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS OLD …. AS RAMAYANA SAYS RAVANA’S CASTLE WAS GAURDED BY FOUR TUSKED ELEPHANTS …..
F...our-tusked Trilophodon lived from the Miocene epoch (26 million years ago) to the Pleistocene epoch (2 million years ago) in Eurasia, Africa, and North America.

From today’s scientific point of evolution of animals in accordance with the geological eras go back to millions of years back. How, then such description could be found in Valmiki Ramayana?
The antiquity of Valmiki Ramayana, there has been specific references and description about certain strange animals as found in Sundarakandam is as follows:

1. The grand palace of Ravana was protected by many strange fierce animals.
2. Certain characteristic that horses were neighing.
3. There were many elephants and they had four tusks.
4. Protected by fat animals and birds.
5. The palace was protected by four tusked elephants and as well as three tusked animals. However, three tusked animals are not named.

The first four depictions are in Sundarakanda (4.25-30) and the fifth one also in Sundarakanda (9.5) of Valmiki Ramayana.

ARYABHATTA-JEWEL OF INDIA

Photo: JEWELS OF BHARATAM .....SERIES [TM]

ARYABHATTA [ 2742 B.C.]  GAVE THE NOW KNOWN WORLD .....MANY MATHEMATICAL DISCOVERIES . 

Aryabhatta is the first famous mathematician and astronomer of Ancient India. In his book Aryabhatteeyam, Aryabhatta clearly provides his birth data. In the 10th stanza, he says that when 60 x 6 = 360 years elapsed in this Kali Yuga, he was 23 years old. The stanza of the sloka starts with “Shastyabdanam Shadbhiryada vyateetastra yascha yuga padah.” “Shastyabdanam Shadbhi” means 60 x 6 = 360. While printing the manuscript, the word “Shadbhi” was altered to “Shasti”, which implies 60 x 60 = 3600 years after Kali Era.  As a result of this intentional arbitrary change, Aryabhatta’s birth time was fixed as 476 A.D Since in every genuine manuscript, we find the word “Shadbhi” and not the altered “Shasti”, it is clear that Aryabhatta was 23 years old in 360 Kali Era or 2742 B.C. This implies that Aryabhatta was born in 337 Kali Era or 2765 B.C. and therefore could not have lived around 500 A.D., as manufactured by the Indologists to fit their invented framework.

Bhaskara I is the earliest known commentator of Aryabhatta’s works.  His exact time is not known except that he was in between  Aryabhatta (2765 B.C.) and Varahamihira (123 B.C.)." The implications are profound , if indeed this is the case.The zero is by then in widespread use and if he uses Classical Sanskrit then he ante dates Panini. Bhaskara mentions the names of Latadeva, Nisanku and Panduranga  Svami as disciples of Aryabhatta.ARYABHATTA [ 2742 B.C.] GAVE THE NOW KNOWN WORLD .....MANY MATHEMATICAL DISCOVERIES .

ASHOKA THE GREAT-TRUTH

Aryavart's photo.TRUTH OF EVIL EMPEROR ASHOKA - SO CALLED GREAT propogated by so called Secularist and Indian historians . He hated Hindu dharma and never followed any method ... but after conversion to Buddhism he became ...a cruel monster and killed hindus and Jainas alike.

[The Buddhists texts record the murder by so called Emperor Ashoka. There were Two Ashoka's one was king and one Emperor , here we speak of the Emperor Ashoka ]

He killed more than 100 of his half brothers to come to power and the Baudha text Divyavadan tells that Ashoka killed 12,000 Jain monks being angry by idol of Buddha touching feet of Mahavira (as his guru though the same is admitted by Bauddha texts). Mass killings of innocent peaceful monks was termed as shunning of violence by adoption of Buddhism.

Ashok after converting to Buddhism did not turn to vegetarianism. He only restricted the number of animals to be killed for the royal kitchen.
 


 

 Ashoka the 'Great'. Here is his 'Greatness':

1. In Kalinga war, he killed 60,000 NON-COMBATANTS incl. pregnant women. Took 80,000 slaves incl non-combatants .
2. In rebellion in Upper Magadha, he put all surrendered rebel villagers to death (rebel against 75% taxation!!!).
3. He usurped the throne by killing all his half brothers 100 in numbers.
4. He would order chopping off hands for women committing adultery (not men though).
5. He killed a sweeper after deep torture for 'appearing in his dreams in arrogance'.
6. When he defeated Greeks, Seleucus had 15,000 men and he had 150,000. Seleucus ran and returned with 35,000 men and took back territory. Historians say so much about his story of the first victory!!!
7. His common way of disposing off enemies was by "starvation" and "death by exhaustion".
8. In the Kherevela war, he punished 12,000 women who refused to submit to his authority .... to by "death by thirst".

TAKSHASHILA

Photo: According to a narration contained in the Mujma-t-Tawarikh (a twelfth-century Persian translation from the Arabic version of a lost Sanskrit work), thirty thousand Brahmans(educated men and women by knowledge, not by heredity) with their families and retinue had in ancient times been collected from all over India and had been settled in Sindh, under Duryodhana, the King of Hastinapur. (Ref. Al-Hind, the Making of the Indo-Islamic World by André Wink). 
Knowledge was considered too sacred, too important to be bartered recklessly for money, and hence any stipulation that fees ought to be paid was vigorously condemned. Financial support came from the society at large, as well as from rich merchants and wealthy parents. 

Takṣaśilā is reputed to derive its name from Takṣh, who was the son of Bharat (The brother of Bhagwan Shree Ram) and Mandavi. Legend has it that Takṣh ruled a kingdom called Takṣh Khand, and founded the city of Takṣaśilā. In the Great Sanatan Epic Mahābhārat, the Kuru heir Parikṣit was enthroned at Takṣaśilā. Traditionally, it is believed that the Mahabharat was first recited at Takṣaśilā by Vaishampayan, a disciple of Vyas at the behest of the seer Vyas himself, at the Sarp Satr Yajn (Snake Sacrifice) of Parikṣit's son Janamejay. 

Taxila was considered to be amongst the earliest universities in the world. Western historians with CHRISTIAN PROPAGANDA do not consider it a university in the modern sense, in that the teachers living there may not have had official membership of particular colleges, and there did not seem to have existed purpose-built lecture halls and residential quarters in Takshashila, along with university like NALANDA , SIRPUR , LALITAGIRI , UDAYAGIRI , RATANAGIRI Universities of ancient time . Takshashila had great influence on the Sanatan culture and Sanskrit language. It is perhaps best known because of its association with Chanakya, also known as Kautilya, the strategist who guided Chandragupt Maurya and assisted in the founding of the Mauryan Empire. 

GREAT TEACHERS AND STUDENTS OF TAKSHASHILA :
1. Chandragupta Maurya's advisor Kautilya (also known as Chanakya) was a teacher at Takṣaśilā.
2. Herodotus
3. Pythogoras [ PrithviGuru ]
4. Charak
5. Panini
6. Vishnu sharma (author of panchatantr)
7. Jivak (siddharth gautam buddh's physician)

The Arthashastr (Sanskrit for The knowledge of Economics) of Chanakya, is said to have been composed in Takshashila itself. The Ayurvedic healer Charak also studied at Takshashila and later started teaching there. The ancient grammarian Pāṇini, who codified the rules that would define Classical Sanskrit, has also been part of the community at Takshashila.

आर्यों को सन्देश

आर्य! उठ फिर भाग्य की उगती उषा के रंग हैं
एक कौतुक है कि जिस से देव दानव दंग हैं II
शीश पर तेरे सजाने को सुनहरा ताज है...
हो रहे अभिषेक के तेरे सजीले साज हैं II
दिग्विजय का गीत गाने को दिशाएं हैं अधीर
कीर्ति का कालख उड़ाने को हवाएं हैं अधीर II
सभ्यता डायन बनी है, राज्य है रावण बना
क्रूर कौतुक है कि कृष्णा-कान्त दुशासन बना II
क्लीव क्यों अर्जुन! खड़ा है? घोर रणचंडी जगा
शत्रु दल के दिल हिलें, टंकार कर गांडीव का II
क्रूरता पर कंस की फिर कृष्ण बन कर वार कर
शीश रावण का उड़ा, बेड़ा सिया का पार कर II
आज क्यों लंका अधिक प्यारी सिया से है तुझे?
देखता क्या है? पवन सुत! पाप का गढ़ फूँक दे II
राम बनना है तुझे, घर से निकल वनवास ले
ले! अभी लंका विजय होती तुझे है रास ले II
है डरा जाता वृथा क्यों? सिंह के सर पर दहाड़
बाघ की मूछें पकड़, दुष्यंत सुत! हिंसक पछाड़ II
गर्ज से तेरी हृदय संसार के जाएँ दहल
प्रेम की तानें उड़ा, पाषाण तक जाएँ पिघल II
गर्ज से गंभीर सागर की उमड़ती ठाठ हो
प्रेम का फिर से झकोरों में पवन के पाठ हो II

New Model Of The Solar System

While the traditional orbiting model of the Solar System, or the Heliocentric Model, where our planets rotate around the sun is not wrong but it is barely complete.

It’s omitting one very important fact. The sun isn’t stationary. The sun is actually travelling at extremely fast speeds, upward of 828,000 km/hr, or 514,000 miles an hour.
Our whole Solar System is orbiting the Milky Way Galaxy. In fact it takes 220-Million Years for the Sun to orbit our Galaxy.

In fact, our planets are barreling through space with the sun, and literally creating a giant Cosmic DNA Helix, and a vortex similar to our Milky Way Galaxy.
Like this but in space, creating a never ending Sine Wave.
When we make one rotation around the sun, we have already traveled millions of miles through space, meaning these Cosmic Cycles are far grander than we might have previously imagined.
