Origins of rig veda declared here in this site

[Guest guest]

Namaskaarams,

 

I'm not sure if this is of any help, but here is a link, [the first three

chapters of a book by a Dr.Kenneth Chandler], in which he pushes back the

origin of the Rig Veda by at least four millennia, from around 1500-2000

B.C, to around 6000 B.C, or even earlier. Also, several historians seem to

use the term 'cognized by the Rshis' to differentiate it from attributing

the Rshis as the direct authors of the Vedas, thereby preserving their

Apaurusheya nature.

Recent findings on this topic are summed up nicely in a book called In

Search of the Cradle of Civilization : New Light on Ancient India

by George Feuerstein, David Frawley and Subhash Kak, Published 1995. A

review of the book is available

at: http://www.iisc.ernet.in/ssangha/archives/1998/jun2sept.html

 

In fact, the attribution of the (_Cognizance_ of the) Vedas to such early

periods in human history[i.e, long before Max Mueller's estimate of 1500BC,

which is the date given in the links you had provided], and refuting the

'Aryan Invasion Theory' is the result of work done by many modern

Indologists today. It's a sad state of affairs that we Indians have to look

to researchers from other nations to establish the antiquity of our

culture, but then again, maybe we should be proud that our origins are

steeped in such ancient time that the world's best historians still haven't

been able to date them convincingly...

 

Thanks.

sincerely,

 

Pavithra.
