[Ind. & West. Astrology] Fwd: David Pingree's and Eric Forbes' papers on Mesopotamian influence on Indian astronomy

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

First and foremost thing to point out is :-

 

GREEKS astronomy is based on constellation and our astronomy(VEDAS and PURANS)

is based on Cardinal points i have also provided verses from one forwarded mail.

 

Now we have adpoted Sidereal things because of LAHIRI now we are supposed to be

Sidereal person but it is not like that.From day one of side real things we are

influenced with Mesopotamian influence.(He He He He He)....

 

Why day one,,, now you can understand,,,, if we will go according to Grreks

means sidereal things than our astronomy is influenced from day one.But if we

will go back to Cardinal points than we are not influenced from day one.(He He

He He He)

 

Mesopotamian influence on Indian astronomy came around some 15 or 16 BC.

 

But our VEDAS and PURANS are older than 15 or 16 BC.

 

In VEDAS and PURANS there is talk of Cardinal points and also about seasons and

i also have forwarded mail with VERSES from VEDAS and PURANS.

 

Mesopotamian influence on Indian astronomy, started when they attacked India.I

will also forward one mail in which there is clear-cut indication that Greek's

astronomy was based on constellation, and some Greeks also stopped our system

and our system is till now stuck to Sidereal things.

 

But our astronomy was based on Cardinal points as i have already forwarded mail

with Verses from VEDAS and Purans.

 

Our VEDAS and Purans knowledge is supreme as they have used Cardinal points and

Ayans.

 

I will forward both mails when i will get the time:-

1) Mail of Mr. A K Kaul with verses of VEDAS and Purans.

2) I will also send one mail from many many research fellows

 

I will appeal please save our VEDAS and PURANS from the clutch of GREEKS

missionaries.

 

Thanks

Things which are not entrusted to us as our legacy (Even-though those

arguments in astronomical calculations doesn’t hold water), ppl are

saying it is our legacy. What an Irony!!!!

>

> Things which our ancestors have given us are our legacy,and ppl are refuting

it and giving abuses to followers of VEDAS and PURANS. Due to God grace our

ancestors were correct, in their way of writing about astronomical things (Means

they have used Cardinal points to calculate ages and to tell about their current

running age)

>

> We all know devils (from other cultures ie GREEKS) also use to be around us

and those devils' clans in past used our HINDU Gods names to pose their wrong

astronomical works (Sidhanta) and they hijacked our whole community and

brainwashed all Hindus' Minds and said that whatever they are writing, means

corrupted Sidhanta (though wrong astronomical works why wrong,, because they are

Devils ( Rakshas Kahinkay) ) is our culture. Hey Ram !!!

even on internet- forums now-a-days.

PURANS)) are between us and we can authenticate Hindu Culture's history.

Calendar. Its really desecration, denigration and degradation of VEDAS and

PURANS (aray Ram-Ram chi chi chi)
