WAS THE TAJ MAHAL A VEDIC TEMPLE: PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

Presented by Stephen Knapp (Sri Nandanandana dasa) 

 This is a real eye-opener for anyone who is interested in

Indian culture and getting to the truth of Indian and Vedic history. We've all

heard how the Taj Mahal is the preeminent expression of a man's love for his

wife. That the Taj Mahal was built by the Muslim ruler Shahjahan.

However, this photographic evidence which we have >now made available will show

that the truth of the matter may be

>quite different. This is a presentation of photographs that once >belonged to

the "Archeaological Survey of India" that shows the Vedic >influence of the Taj

Mahal and other buildings of India, indicating >that the Taj Mahal was not built

as a mausoleum but was previuosly a >Shiva Temple/Vedic Palace complex. Now

before you say that this is a >lulu of an idea, take a look at the photos and

read the captions and >decide for yourself. I've received numerous emails from

people who >describe how interesting the presentation is. Even Professor

Subhash >Kak, author of such books as "The Astronomical Code of the Rig >Veda,"

"The Nature of Physical Reality," and his new book, "The >Wishing Tree: The

Presence and Promise of India," as well as >co-author with David Frawley and

Georg Feuerstein of "In Search of >the Cradle of Civilization," described this

presentaiton in a word as >"Superb." > You can find these photos at:

http://www.stephen-knapp.com. > > The full story is that these black and white

photographs were >found in India in an album that was secretly smuggled out of

the >country. These photos bare the stamp on the back of each stating its

>authenticity, saying that it is the property of the Archeaological >Survey of

India. Each photograph was accompanied by a caption that >explains exactly what

is in the photo, which are included on the web >site. The captions are written

from an Indian perspective, but tell >the story of how the Taj Mahal was

actually a Vedic temple/palace >complex that pre-dates Shahjahan by several

centuries. Shajahan >merely captured the building from Jai Singh, the previous

Hindu >ruler, and then turned it into a mausoleum and misdirected the true

>history of it. The Taj Mahal had numerous apartments and a huge water >well

for the many residents and servants that lived inside, something >that a

mausoleum would not need. The photos show this. > > This selection of

photographs also shows the Vedic >archeological and artistic elements in the

Taj Mahal, as well as >other buildings in India, such as the Red Fort, that

make it obvious >that the Taj Mahal and other famous buildings were never built

by >Muslims. These photographs make it obvious that the public should be >made

aware of what the Taj Mahal really is, that it is a significant >display of the

archeological achievements of Vedic culture and their >devotioin to the

spiritual path. This should be an indication for >everyone of the false and

demeaning nature of the British concoction >of India's past, which includes the

idea of the Aryan Invasion >Theory, which had been accepted as factual history.

This should >indicate that it is time for the history of India to be rewritten.

> > If we can begin to understand how the history of the Taj >Mahal, one of the

great wonders of the world, has been so falsified >over the years, we should

also begin to see how numerous other >aspects of India's history have been

deliberately misrepresented. >These photographs prove that the true origination

of numerous >temples, palaces and forts that presently are said to have been

built >by foreigners, has been concealed. Most of them were merely usurped >and

captured by marauding invaders. Full investigations should be >made on these

numerous buildings to uncover their true history. Much >more information about

this is included in my book, "Proof of Vedic >Culture's Global Existence." > >

Please feel free to pass this message along to all others who >may be

interested, or even download these photos and their captions >for your own

displays in your temples, office, home, etc. > Complete information about the

books of Stephen Knapp, and many >more articles, photographs, and free e-books,
