Rome and Vedic Culture

[Guest guest]

Here are some things from Our World Vedic Heritage, by P.N. Oaks, on the

origin of Rome.

On page 806, he presents a picture of a vase excavated from Rome and says:

 

" This is one among hundreds of painted vases on display in the Eutruscan

Museum in the vatican in Rome. It depicts a Ramayanic scene of the monkey

chief, Vali, abducting Tara, the wife of his brother Sugriva.

 

Such Ramayanic painting are found in their hundreds all over India, prove

that Rome gets its name from the Vedic incarnation Rama, and not from the

fictitious Remus and Romulous."

 

Then on page 812, he presents a robed Roman-looking guy with some big ole

tilak on, plain and simple. Öaks says:

 

" Pompey, the Consul of Rome, wearing the sacred Vedic sandal mark on his

forehead, indicates that ancient Italy was part of the Vedic world. This pic

appears on page 237 of the History of Rome, by Smith."

 

 

On page 813:

 

" Ancient Italy's Etruscans ( 2nd century BC and beyond ) were

Sanskrit-speaking Vedantists as is apparent from the above portrait of one

of their emperors wearing a dhoti and holy sandal paste marks on the

forehead and neck."

 

This picture is also from the history of Rome. The emperor is wearing a

dhoti with a vrijbasi fold underneath an outer cloth which sweeps across.

 

Then on page 814 Oaks makes a comparison of pictures:

 

" Idols of Lord Ganesh from India and from Italy. At numerous places in

Italy items and emblems of Lord Ganesh and his father, Lord Shiva, have been

found."
