World Vedic Culture

[Guest guest]

Here is something from page 305 of Our World Vedic Heritage, by P. N. Oaks.

 

" Consider the word ' Navy.' That is being Anglicised as ' Nay-vi.' But its

original Sanskrit pronunciation is: ' Naa-vi.'

 

The fact that ancient Sanskrit words like navy, naval and nautical have

universal application even today is proof enough of Vedic navies cruising

the seven seas and of their crews all speaking Sanskrit for ages until the

world was shattered into separate, administrative units. Nau, Nauka and

nautika are the original Sanskrit words which continue to be used even today

with a slight, inevitable variation in pronunciation."

 

Now here is something from the next page: " All Kshatriya rulers and leaders

had the termination ' simgha ' attached to their names ( lion ). In course

of time, the word simgha was written as ' singh.' Later, in olde English it

was written as cing or cyng. Still later, because the ' c ' was pronounced

as the letter ' k ', the pronunciation of cing was changed to king. Thus,

the English word king is a corruption of the Sanskrit, Vedic word singh

alias simha, i.e., lion."
