Re: A chapter from the book of P.N Oaks called Our World Vedic Heritage. In
this chapter Mr. Oaks relates the Scandanavian region to India, along the
lines of an anthropological, motherland source.
I think that his concept is a bit sectarian, let’s just see it in terms of "pre-Western
civilization", Indo-European, cultural, linguistic and even
racial origins.
He makes the point that the ancient Indo Europeans from India migrated to
the Scandanavian region- something like that. I don’t think is
exactly reasonable, nor is an origin in the Caucasians reasonable. For one
thing, the Hindus have darker complexions and it would have
been difficult for them to migrate to Scandanavia and generate a blond
haired, blue eyed race. It would have been difficult for them to migrate and
preserve and teach some of the complex linguistic patterns, such as verb
conjugations and the declensions of nouns, which Sanskrit and the languages
of Northern Europe have in common- Latin had these.
A much closer origin would be the Arctic opening to the hollow earth, from
which Indo European culture could have made several discrete migrations to
various points on the surface, one by one.The Puranc narrations of the Parasurama avatar tells that 21 different warrior clans were expelled by Parasurama to “pritivim”, the surface. So this is the source. They probably migrated into Central Asia and India after the cloud mantle fell and the Kaliyuga began, and mixed with the people already living there.
Of course, indologists haven’t been able to interpret in this way because
they have no concept of the Hollow Earth.
Read the similarities which Mr. Oaks presents below, and see if a Vedic origin in
the hollow earth through the Arctic isn’t more reasonable.
Mr. Oaks:
THE VEDIC PAST OF THE SCANDINAVIAN REGION.
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland though,
separate countries today, are lumped together in ancient Vedic terminology
as Scandinavia.
Scandinavia is a Sanskrit term meaning a naval settlement founded in the
name of Scand, the son of Lord Shiva and Commander-in-Chief of the divine
armies. The Vikings inherited that tradition. The last syllable 'King' is
the Sanskrit word ‘Simha’ [pronounced sing-ha] signifying a lion.
The whole of Europe was administered in ancient times by a Sanskrit-speaking
Vedic clan known as Daityas.
Danu and Merk were two leaders of that ancient clan of the Daityas. It is
those two names which are combined in the term Denmark.
Count Biornstierna is, therefore, right in observing "it appears that the
Hindu settlers [or hollow earth settlers] migrated to Scandinavia before the Mahabharat war." [Bhagavad Gita War]
The ancient names Sverige for Sweden and Norge for Norway are Sanskrit terms
Swarga and Narka. The term Sweden in Sanskrit signifies a place where there
is no perspiration. Since Narka alias Norge signifies “Hell” in the Sanskrit-Vedic tradition, it is very significant and pertinent that in Norway one
town is actually named Hell. This is very important proof of the Vedic past
of Norway.
Upsala near Stockholm in Sweden is a Sanskrit term signifiyng an auxiliary
or subordinate educational campus. It could, therefore, be that in the
pre-Christian days Upsala originated as a second, satellite campus of the
main educational establishment in Stockholm.
The Vedas
Scandinavia's ancientmost scripture is known as Edda because it is a
corruption of the name Veda. After the discontinuance of Sanskrit tuition in
Europe and as a result of the spread of Christianity, the contents of the
Vedas were forgotten and the word itself came to be mispronounced as Edda.
These days only the name 'Veda' survives in Scandinavia. Even that is
wrongly pronounced as Edda. Its kernel, viz., its Sanskrit chants have alt
been substituted by some imaginary stories.
Vedic Designs
Dorothea Chaplin observes in her book "During, recent years it has come to
be recognized how deeply the impress of ancient Indian designs and folklore
have influenced the pre-Columbia civilization of America. But the designs
and beliefs centred around the elephants are just as emphatically revealed
in the antiquities of Scotland and Scandinavia".
In Vedic tradition elephants are considered holy. God Ganash has an
elephant's head. Every temple and palace is many a time decorated with
elephant statues because an elephant is considered a symbol of sober wisdom
and sacred strength. The existence of the elephant in Scandinavian symbolism
though a live elephant is not native to the region, is a sure indication of
the prevalence of Vedic culture in pre-Christian Scandinavia.
Names and Surnames
Scandinavian names such as Amundsen and Sorensen are clearly of the Vedic
tradition. In India the term Sen is generally used as a surname, but even
personal names such as Ugrasen and Bhadrasen have ”sen” endings.
The term Veda also forms part of Scandinavian names as in India, as in names
like Vedram and Vedprakash.
Buddha Idols
Some Buddha idols found in sunken ships in the frozen seas around
Scandinavian countries, indicate that because Scandinavia practiced Vedic
culture when the Buddha rose to fame in India, his name, fame and images
were carried to Scandinavia, too, as to other parts of the world.
Shiva Worship
Many relics of Shiva worship are often found in Scandinavia as in the rest
of Europe. But Christian invaders of Scandinavia have done their worst in
twisting Shiva worship rituals and prayer books to appear as though they
were all woven around sexual revelries or primitive adulation of the genital
organs. Even in India, enemies of Vedic culture have manufactured such
defamatory Sanskrit literature to masquerade as genuine classics of those
reveling in sex worship.
Count Biornstierna, himself a Scandinavian, observes "we have (in
Scandinavia) another proof that the myths of the Scandinavians are derived
from those of the Hindus."
(2) P. 163, The Theogony of the Hindus, by Count Biornstierna.
Though under the present political dispensation the term Scandinavia may
apply only to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland; yet let us also study the
other northern European regions in this context.
"Even today, the study of Sanskrit is a treasured objective among the Finns
and the Lithuanians and the legendary gods of these people can be mostly
identified with Vedic deities "3
Czechoslovakia
In the Czechoslovak language too Veda means knowledge. This is an indication
that the Vedas have been a part of ancient European tradition. Science
faculties in Czechoslovakian academies are known as 'Veda'.
The Sanskrit word for sugar is Sharkara. Even the English word sugar is a
regional variation of the Sanskrit term. The Czech word 'Sucker' is nearer
still in pronunciation to the Sanskrit term Sharkara.
The Czech word ‘masso’ is akin to the word 'mass' in several modern Indian
languages because they derive from the original Sanskrit word `mausam',
meaning 'flesh'.
Finland
The `Sauna' hot bath of Finland, is obviously the Sanskrit word 'Snanam.'
meaning 'bath'.
"Edda ( alias Veda ) is the sacred book of the Scandinavian branches of the
Teutonic family ... It includes the Goths of different names, the
Moeso-Goths near the Danube; the Visigoths in Spain; the Ostro-Goths who
culminated under Theodoric in Italy; the Franks whose name is `free men',
and the Lombards who founded a second kingdom in Italy. Of the Teutons we
hear nothing until Tacitus the Roman historian found them settled in
Germany. To Iceland we must go to learn what they believed and felt before
they were brought into contact with Christianity. In the year 874 A.D. a
body of people left Norway because they would not submit to the tyranny of
Harold Harfager, or Fair Hair and settled in Iceland. They carried with them
the religion, the poetry, and the laws of their race; and on this desolate
volcanic island they kept these records unchanged for hundreds of years. In
1639 these books were discovered ... this literature of the Scandinavian
peninsula gives a key to the literature of all the Teutonic families; its
ideas agree so wonderfully with the Sanskrit ideas .....The
ancient literature of the four nations who inhabit the Scandinavian
peninsula is practically one ".
The suffix “GOTH” quoted above is the Sanskrit term gotra'. It signifies a
bond of nurture under a common Guru alias sage. All Hindu intelligentsia
continue to retain and mention, if asked, their 'Gotra' alias 'Goth' with
holy nostalgic reverence. India's present Foreign Secretary's surname
'Rasagotra' is of that same tradition.
The extract quoted above gives one an indication that the people who inhabit
the various regions of Europe are Teutons alias Daityas; and that they all
had a common ancient literature. It contained poetry and laws, and that the
ideas therein agreed with ideas in Sanskrit scriptures. That clearly
indicates that the Edda was a latter-day, native European edition of the
Vedas like the Zend- Avesta of Persia.
The above conclusion gets further clarified and confirmed by some more
details which Laura gives, namely, "The Norsemen were converted to
Christianity so much later than any other European nation that their
cosmogony and mythology have been preserved to us in a perfectly
unaltered condition. Their literature is both grand and
poetic. Their sacred books are the two Eddas, one poetic,
the other prose, written in that old Norse tongue which was
once spoken by the four families throughout the
Scandinavian Peninsula. The word Edda means great grand
mother because the poems were handed down from grand
mothers by repetition. The poetic Edda which is the older
of the two, is a collection of 37 sagas. Some of them are
religious, and give an account of the creation of the world,
of the gods and men; some of them historical telling of the
heroes of the nation; one of them gives a series of moral
maxims.
"The ballads were written before the 8th century but they were collected
together, in 7086 A.D. by a Christian priest named Soemund. Scholars think
Soemund was a name given to him in reference to this, for it means the mouth
which scatters seeds".
The Vedas and Upanishads
"The prose Edda was collected about 1200 A.D. It explains the mythology and
the history of the poetic Edda which, indeed, could hardly be understood
without it. It would be difficult to gather a system of belief, even a
connected story, from utterances so vague, incoherent and disjointed as
those of Soemund's Edda, especially the mythological part; the heroic
portion is more connected and comprehensible. But never-the-less, there is a
wonderful charm about the Edda’s vague breadth in the thought, a delicious
simplicity in the expression. Of course there is first the cosmogony or
creation of the world (as under):
“There was in times of old
Nor Sand nor Sea
Nor gelid waves
Earth existed not.
Nor heaven above
"I" was a chaotic chasm
And grass nowhere
Then the Supreme ineffable spirit willed
And a formless chaotic matter was created "
This will immediately suggest that wonderful hymn of the Rigved
" There is only one being who exists Unmoved yet moving swifter than the
wind, Who far outstrips the senses, though as gods They strive to reach Him,
who, Himself at rest Transcends the fleetest flight of other beings Who,
like the air, supports all vital action. He moves not; he is far yet near.
He is within this universe, and yet Outside this universe; whoever beholds
all living creatures as in him, and him, The universal spirit as in all,
Henceforth regards no creature with contempt".
The two Eddas, one in verse and the other in prose are obviously carry-overs
of the original Sanskrit Vedas and the Upanishads respectively. The
wonderful charm and breadth of thought and the story of the creation in the
Edd: are unmistakable characteristics of the Vedas. Similar pre-Christian
Anglo-Saxon ballads are preserved in a manuscript in Exeter Cathedral in
England.
Since the Mahabharat War (around 3138 B. C.), the tradition of Vedic
recitation in Europe broke down and the memory of the Vedas gradually faded
away. Later because of the Christian invasion even the remaining traces of
the Vedic tradition were wiped out from Europe. In spite of such a big
time-gap the irresistible divine magic of the Vedas impelled even a
Christian priest such as Soemund to scrape and cull together whatever
conceptual remnants he could find of the long extinct Vedic tradition in
Europe. The effort was worth its while because from that collection,
described above, one can certainly conclude that what is currently being
spelled as Edda was indeed basically the Veda. The belief that Edda
signifies a grandmother is a latter-day improvised explanation. The real
meaning is Veda.
Upsala was a Temple
We have already explained earlier that Upsala is a Sanskrit word connoting a
subordinate educational establishment. Laura Poor's noting says as much. She
observes - "The temple of Norsemen was at Upsala in Sweden: the grove that
surrounded it was sacred." 6 It was obviously a hermitage and Vedic school.
With the Christian invasion of Europe Olaf was the first Scandinavian king
to be inviegled into turning a Christian. As soon as he was baptized he let
loose his armies in 1030 A. D, to convert all Scandinavians to Christianity.
Thereafter the Gods of old were stigmatized and misrepresented as demons and
devils.
Scandinavians settled in England were turned Christians four centuries
earlier than the people in their home countries.
The Ramayan
All ancient Sanskrit scriptures lie battered, scattered, trampled and
forgotten in Europe. Some remnants of the Vedas and the Upanishads we have
already discussed above.
Likewise, the Ramayan too has been reduced to small bits. Like fragments of a
torn text, single episodes from the Ramayan survive in Europe as loose,
independent stories. One such is the Hildebrand Lied, the oldest in Norse
mythology because it is an episode from the million year ancient Ramayan. It
is a part of what was once a bigger German epic.
The Mahabharat Legends
Another Norse ballad is about Sigfried, a hero who was born covered with a
coat of horn. Obviously this is the European relic of the Mahabharat
character, Karna, who was born with an armour-plated body.
The Vedic Past of the Slavs
Modern states such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia constitute the region
inhabited by the Slav community.
Slav language like other languages is a dialect of Sanskrit, too. There
fire is Agni as in Sanskrit, malka (Mallika) is mother, sestra is sister;
brat is brother; syn is son, nos is nose, dom (dham) is house, dvar is door
alias dwar. The Gypsies living with the Slavs are also Hindus from India.
They worship Rama, Krishna, Kali and numerous
other Vedic deities. In Scopte a city in Yugoslavia over 50,000 Ramas alias
Hindus live. Their names too are Hindu such as Sudhakant, Asha, Meenakshi
and Ramkali. They remember and respect India as their "Baro than" i.e. big
land.
Ancestor Worship
The ancestor-worship practiced by the Slavs in ancient times and the powers
of nature adored by them are proof of their pre-Christian Vedic heritage.
The Slavs also offered sacrifices under Oak trees.
Their chief deity Bog is a relic of the Sanskrit word Bhagawan, Swarog is
another name of that supreme deity. That name Swarca is the Sanskrit word
for heaven [svarga].
English words ‘Bogy' and 'Puck' are also corruptions of the Sanskrit word
'Bhagawan'.
The Sun is called Dauzh-Bog by the Slavs. That is the Sanskrit term
Diwas-Bhagawan i.e. the God of daylight. Stri-Bog is the wind god.
Ogon is their pronunciation of the Sanskrit ' Agni ' meaning 'fire'.
Slav peasants refer to grain always as sacred ‘corn' in the Vedic, Hindu
way.
The Vedic deity Varun is pronounced by the Slavs as ‘Parun'.
Tree Worship
Corresponding to the tall banyan and peepul tree in India the Oak tree was
held so sacred by the Slavs that even after conversion to Christianity and
giving up their idols the Slavs would not tolerate their sacred Oak trees to
be cut down.
The Sati Custom
Upto about a thousand years ago Slav widows too used to immolate themselves
on the funeral pyres of their deceased husbands, as in India.
The Slavs looked upon the rainbow and the milky way as the pathways to
heaven, which was the abode of the Sun and therefore the abode of the dead.
Veda Slovena
Mr. Verkoviez a Slav resident of Serres, near Salonica, published in 1874 a
remarkable collection of Slavonic poetry and named it Veda Slovena. That is
an indication of the memory of the Vedas still surviving among the Slavs and
also of the great respect they still retain for the Vedas. This couldn't
have been possible if the Vedas had not formed part of their lost heritage.
Those songs used to be recited even by Mohamedan Bulgarians but Mr.
Verkoviez claims to have found them in an ancient monastery on Mt. Rhodope
in Thrace. Some Slavonic savants hail them as genuine, sacred ancient hymns
while others denounce them as concoctions.
The Norsemen and Slavs were forced to abandon their Vedic culture and become
Christian in the 9th century. For a long time Christianity was suffered to
exist. However Vladimir, the Charlemagne of Russia (who ascended the throne
in 980 A. D.) proclaimed Christianity as the state religion by himself
toppling a statue of the Vedic deity, Varun alias Parun. Thereafter, all
Vedic temples and schools in the region were turned into Christian churches
and monasteries. At his baptism the name Vladimir was changed to Wassily.
The Russo-Greek church has since hailed him as St. Basil. This is yet
another instance of the Christian and Muslim practice of raising to
sainthood persons who wielded the sword and resorted to terror and torture to eradicate worldwide Vedic culture and force people to become Christians and Muslims.
The heroic ballads that are sung about Wassily and about Charlemagne are
full of pre-Christian ideas and sentiments grafted on to these Christian
converts.
A few ritual songs preserved by the peasantry described the agricultural
changes of the seasons. But constant priestly disapproval of those
pre-Christian songs have resulted in changing the original Vedic content and
meanings of those songs.
Sankranti Festival
Yet as in India the people celebrate the end of winter by building up a
bonfire. Peasants dance and sing songs to Lode, the goddess of spring and
festivity and for a week the children shoot with bows and arrows. The
Christian priests have now baptized that festival as Butter Week. This is
yet another indication of how Christians and Muslims put their own shrouds
on age old Vedic festivals to make them look deceptively Christian or
Muslim.
In India there are two festivals, both connected with winter, where bonfires
are lighted. One falls on January 13/14 and the other about two and half
months later. The latter is also a kind of a water festival.
The one falling on January 13/1 4 is known in the Punjab region of north
India as Lodi and also as Sankranti. This is almost the same as the ‘Lada'
of the Slavs. Since Indian festivals have an unbroken Vedic link it is
obvious that the Lada festival of the Slavs is also of Vedic origin.
