ago

My dear friends:I'm working in philological-critique research in one Document of

Colonial Saltillo City. But, eventoungh I heard in how , supposedly It is and

Indo- About India culture; logical- science or study, forum and read , some

about one fanatical adherent in the fundamentalis scepticism and other

superfluous postures ( Vid. The antiscientific and subjetive limititations of

skcepticism in Historia de las doctrinas Filosoficas, por el Dr. Raul Gutierrez

Saenz from UNAM, UI, UBM. Editorial Esfinge. Mexico. 1971, I answer other time

thenext lines.

My more humbly request to all of your that are veryprominents and sages

teachers. It to be more neutral in the words that weare using in the study of

the literature consider sacra by living religions.And is very healthy and

objective don't used corrosive, ambigue,laberintine, and offensive words.(

Tribal, mythology or idols, fictitious characters whit historical personality

in thehagiographical or protohistoric or traditional texts). Becausewe are

incursioning in nor friendly skys of hiperspace of feelings, subjetivism ,

using our own tittle degree to adroctinatitions in the sciences circles and we

become easy prize for the vaisnava-apolgetic fighters. If you want a exempla of

this, Icould send to you outside of this list or only if the chairman of this

listlet me, I can send with anonimus or pseudonymous, an interesting paper.

Butplease read the next. But is necessary maintain in mind, don’t be

offensive in thename of to be ourselves so called racionalistics or cientifics

and usedhypercritical language for Rama and vedic history. For example isvery

used from Hindus authors, words likemythology that means- mitos- untruth, int

the greek root of the Spanish wordmen-ti-ra, falsity, Sanskrit- mithya. Other

example is when some traditionalbelievers said, "In this work I will be probing

that such and such was ahistorical personality", etc.. Because, Rama had been

recognised for timeago like historical fact. I can given to you one antologhy;

but please observer with open eyes. nor with the liver, this follow:

Horace H. Wilson, 1870: "Rama and Krishna, who appear to have beenoriginally

real and historical characters,.." (1)

 

W.J. Wilkins: "In north India, He is, perhaps the Visnu incarnation more popular

and in truth, Ramayana, the work when there is found the history ...it has the

more beautiful legends in the Hindu sacred scriptures. Ramayana it is occupied

very extensive in the history of life of Rama" ...There is confirmation

uncommon, but real, that support the historicy of hero (Rama)." (2)

 

E. Royston Pike in the authorised adaptation for Elsa Cecilia Frost Translation:

"Rama. In the Hinduism, the septum avatara or incarnation of Visnu y he was the

hero of the grant Epic poem Ramayana (the Gesta of Rama)..and relate all the

biography...Vid. (3)

 

The Nobel Laureate and cientifical historian of life of Jesus, Albert

Schweitzer: "Rama like Krishna, is a national deific hero and later consider as

a manifestation of Visnu." (4)

 

Steven Rosen: ""Even to day, B.B. Lal. a top Indian archaeologist, continues to

uncover important finds. Director-General of the Archaeological Survey From

1968-1972, Lal is still working diligently in his chosen field. In fact he is

currently directing an Indian national project: Archaeology of the Ramayana

Sites". Firsts conserved in 1977 by the Indian Institute for Advance Study in

Shimla and the Archaeological Survey of India, the project calls for rigorous,

Although it should see completion sometime later this years. The goal of the

project is to prove the historicity of the stories in the Ramayana...Great

succes has already bee achieved"..(5)
