Vedic Hungary

[Guest guest]

>From Our World Vedic Culture, by P.N. Oaks:

 

 

Hungary is a corruption of the Sanskrit term Shringeri, implying a scenic,

hilly region. ' S ' and ' H ' have been interchangeable. In Osoma de Coro's

preface to the Tibetan dictionary, that Hungarian scholar observes about

Sanskrit " To his own to nation he feels pride in announcing that the study

of Sanskrit will be more satisfactory than to any other people of Europe.

The Hungarians will find a fund of information from its study, in respect to

their origins, manners, customs and language since the structure of Sanskrit

( as also other Indian dialects ) is most analagous to the Hungarian, while

it greatly differs from the languages of Occidental Europe. As na example

of the close analogy, in the Hungarian language, instead of prepositions,

postpositions are invariably used, except with the personal pronouns. Again,

from a verbal root, without the aid of any auxiliary verb, and by a simple

syllabic addition, the several kinds of verbs distinguished as active,

passive, causal, desiderative, frequentative, etc., are formed in Hungarian

in the same manner as Sanskrit.

 

Buddha Prastha

 

Hungary's capital, Budapest, is the Sanskrit term Buddha Prastha, i.e., the

city of Buddha. Buddha lived in the 19th century B. C., and not in the 6th

century B.C., as is currently being assumed, as discussed in a special

chapter of my book Some Blunders in Indian Historical Research.

 

Realisation of the 1,300 year under estimation of Buddha's antiquity assumes

considerable importance in history. Because if Buddha is assumed to have

lived in the 6th centruy B. C. , the history from that period to our own is

fairly well known. And during those 2,500 years we are not aware of any

authoritative, gigantic push from India which enabled the spread of Buddha's

teachings from China to Japan, to Europe and to the Arab lands. That spread

of Buddhism to at least over half the world was achieved during those 1,300

years of Buddhism which remain completely wiped out from history because of

modern scholar's under-estimation of the antiquity of the world.
