KIRON KRISHNAN Yesterday we had discussion over who can be your guru, and your answer was our father who initiated us through Upanayana. Also I had a similar doubt regarding "How to know ones Sva Shaka", for which Abhivadhana was the only answer. Joining the bigger "devil, the Caste System". I recollect KIRON KRISHNAN mentioning this not to be a "Caste by birth". Now connecting these dots, if caste system is not intended to be by birth; its crucial for anyone interested in learning vedas that he knows Sva-Shaka. The Abhivadana seems to be not solving the problem right here, as it is coming out of a lineage. The fathers shaka is passed onto the son. Hows does sva-shaka and caste system fit into the puzzle? Please enlighten.
HISTORIANS PUT IT "VEDAS ARE ONLY 1500 YERAS OLD APPROXIMATELY..BUT IF WE GO BY HINDU DATES THE VEDAS ARE MORE THAN 3000 YEARS OLD . HOWEVER SO FAR NO ONE HAS CORRECTLY DATED THE VEDAS.
ReplyDeleteHave you read the article in which i have pointed to this post. It says dating based on linguistics are only approximate (and it may never be achieved).
ReplyDeleteThe inquiry has to go on. In Scientific inquiry, you take the current argument and find a weakness in it. But you have to come with a better argument. We can be sure, many Indians are trying to come up with better arguments. There is no success so far. We still believe that Mahabharata took place during 3000 BC and Vedas are definitely there during that period. So the important point establishing dates Hastinapur and Indraprastha. I read that they found Harappa period artifacts near Hastinapur also. But I have not come across any further development based on it.
