i would say great work done!

on the contrary i am putting myself on the place of a practical man and i have a lot of questions… i guess this is the right place to be asked.

1.how can i believe that what you say is correct / true?
if “”the vedas were not documented those days”" is the root answer for this question then there is another qn for everybody..

1.1 what the hell are we doing instead of documenting the great source of knowledge?
and why the hell is it still being transmitted verbally?

2.why does no one(as far as i know) know/still does not know about the truth-that vedas are source of enormous knowledge?

3.what steps are taken to document? if not what steps are to be taken?

4.if vedas were the origin of the current science, then we must integrate the latest discoveries/inventions laws/postulates etc and all those stuff into the vedas.if that is not possible then the vedas must be wholly re-written so the common ppl can understand now or in the future.
is there anything going on like this around? if not why?

5. to the author: why have you posted your discovery in this blog? why not in newspapers/ magazines? so that a lot of ppl can be enlightened and can also speed up the process.
if so what are the media that carry material like these?

6.why is there no truth about the vedas in what children/ppl learn these days?

7.if the vedas still have some trcace on this holy land then why ppl are trying to destroy it instead?

these are just a few questions that ran into my mind… common ppl like me are expecting precise answers..most preferably the truth which will always last for ever!

Is there any prediction that people reading and understanding veda had already announced before it was discovered using modern science??

Why do people try to calculate or interpret things using veda only after they have been discovered?
Why could not people have announced speed of light(using the shloka) before it was actually measured using series of modern experiments?

Same for other things. Only after a thing is known using modern physics or mathematics then come the people and say that these were already given in veda or ancient texts. This is really silly !!

great work gurudev!.. we indians shud cherish the knowledge in the vedas, not criticize blindly. its pathetic that we question all this so much, but accept blindly the “”scientific”" results given by a small group of scientists somewhere else in the world.. the vedas are perfect knowledge.. its upto us to understand them..

Hi,
I am a commer graduate, but some how I ahve interest in the quantum physics and had been reading whatever I got to read about it. Mind, I had maths phobia, but the time, speed of light, the matter & energy & it’s relation to the “”Human living”" has been always mistic. I read alot about astronomy & cosmology. I had been trying to relate all our vedic verses ‘little that I know’ to the real scientic definations. It great to find this site. I hope you people tolarate non sceintific people like me.

Hi,

The veda is veda. It provides knowledge to those who seek knowledge. The operative word being seek.

Each seeks, all the time. Endowed with a capacity to slice time, we might tend to seek across slices of time. But as we know (do we? how?), slicing time gets me nowhere…I am neither here nor there.

The veda carries a time. To have veda is to be in that time.

Modern science carries a time. To have science is to be in that time.

The attraction of veda today seems driven by ennui. Should that be “”to veda”" or “”for veda”", instead? But otherwise, it should amaze even the most lethargic mind to see the Voyager crafts journeying far out or the nuclear technology.

Thanks Vijay for your kind words about the blog!
Dont worry, none of us came with all knowledge prefed, we learn things slowly over a period of time, so as long as we have that quest to learn, its OK
Yes the entire humanity should be proud of its vedic knowledge and its vedic past

Gurudev,
This is an excellent forum. I am really ashamed of my knowledge on Vedas. I appreciate yor deeper analysis of our vedas and obviously we should be proud of it.

Yes Srirama/Laxmikanth, you are right, it is unfortunate that most of the so called educated masses in this country are only literate, not educated, kind of brainwashed in the name of science

They are not even aware about the kind of toxins they are consuming everyday in the name of food, and still talk about being scientific! What a shame.

if we still continue to neglect our sacred texts then there will be no evidence left about these valuable information for the future genrations.
