Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Dear Friends, I start this thread to find out whether anyone knows about the lost parts of the Hindu Vedas. In Vivekananda's speeches, one can find that he has talked about the original Vedas of sufficient volume to fill up a library but these were lost over the ages leaving what is popularly known as the four Vedas today. Since a new picture is emerging about the origins and the development of Indians as major players in ancient history, it is possible that the ancient knowledge treasurehouse of India that was lost in India still somehow survives out there in different parts of the world. Although any surviving parts of Veda may not go by the name of Veda, anyone noticing the similarity of thought could explore further to find out if they could be linked to the Vedas. It is also possible that these could have been translated into local languages. Or that they could be treated as sacred manthras used for special occasions only without knowing that they are part of the Vedas. A good example is Thai monarchy that uses Tamil hymns during coronation. Likely areas could be the middle-eastern languages including Hebrew and Arabic, books in Russian, Greek and Latin, Romania, Chinese, Tibetan, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian etc but they could just as well be in any part of the world. If somone knows the ancient countries that the Hindus had direct dealings in the form of trade, cultrual exchange etc in the old days, it could provide a good place to start looking. Please pass on the message to other newsgroups that you are participating in. This could turn out to be a major discovery.
