Part II, continued..
(Also includes references where humanely possible)
There were two dynasties with similar names of their first kings: the Maurya dynasty and the Gupt dynasty.
The first king was Chandragupta Maurya - 1500 BC and enthroned by a Brahmin Chanakya aka Vishnugupt.
The later one was Chandragupta Vijayaditya - 300 BC and succeded by his son Samudragupt Ashokaditya who ruled over Magadh empire from 321 - 270 BC.
(Ref: Pauranic text of the dynasties of Kali age)
Megasthenes - the greek ambassador and writer, whose work called Indica which the brits favored was a fable creator as per later greek historians like Arrian, Strabo & Diodorus who are known to be a lot more credible based on historic evidence.
(Ref: Arrian and Strabo's records and notes on Alexanders conquests and the book Indica)
Infinite advantage maybe derived by Europeans from various medical books in Sanskrit, containing names and descriptions of Indian plants and minerals with their uses discovered by experience in curing disorders.
The vast collection is found in the book of Charaka which was considered to have been the work of Shiva.
(Ref: 18th essay of Goverdhan Kaul on: the literature of the Hindus)
Astronomical works in Sanskrit are exceedingly numerous, with ~80 of them specified in one recorded list, probably belonging to an age old university.
These writings contain the detailed observations of the primary stars visible from India and their accurate positions in the sky through the ages.
The brits employed Max Müller to translate the Rig Veda in English in such a way that parallel comparisons with old testaments and gospels can easily be inferred. He was paid a record ₱800 PER PAGE in today's money!
(Ref: A history of ancient Sanskrit literature(the primitive religion of the Brahmanas), first print 1860 London, reprint 1978 USA)
The british empire was at the peak of its power and, prosperity due to which huge payouts for a purpose were viewed as investments for the future!
The demeaning went to such levels, let me simply quote them and you decide:
India is much riper for Christianity than Rome or Greece was at the time of St.Paul. The rotten tree for some time has had artificial supports. I should like to live for ten more years and quietly learn, by means of which the old mischief of Indian priest craft can be overthrown and a way opened for Christianity.
Whatever finds root in India soon overshadows the whole of Asia.
(Ref: the life and letters of Friedrich Max Muller, first published in 1902, London & N.Y. more specific details will follow as you read further.)
Prof Taranath Tarkavachaspati of Calcutta Sanskrit college was very well known for his profound learning. But greed blemishes the good in a person. The brits brought his wisdom with a payout of 2 million rupees(20 lakhs payment for a translation work in todays money!) to produce a skewed dictionary. And this was way before Indira Gandhi devalued the rupee in the name emergency from Rs.4 to a single USD to ~Rs.35/usd. In 1930's a headmaster of a school used to draw a salary of Rs.20/month and still be happy. Taranath got Rs.10,000/- Now do the math!
The dictionary that Taranath compiled can probably still be found. Its called the 'Vachaspatyam.'
The preface of that book itself reveals these facts.
(Ref: Asiatic society journal entry and his letters to some brits.)
One example of such manipulation is of the word 'goghn'=receiver of cow, used in a sentense as 'daashagoghne sampradane'=receiving of a cow in a well meaning charity in Sanskrit, of course, this line was played by taranath as per instructions and translated as - the killer of the cow! On the pretext of using the root word - han out of goghn, for the basis of translation.
If you know anything about being a Hindu, you will know how ridiculous a thought of even hurting a cow is.
The Purana's tell about the divine dissensions of the supreme God, a brief history of every manvantar, each of which is ~308 MILLION years.
It also talks about the history of eternal saints and sages, highly regarded devotee's, philosophy of devotion, God and God realization and lastly, a detailed history of the last 5000 years since the Mahabharata war.
As is documented in studies as well as present market reality, India was a treasure trove of knowledge and information., so what happened to all the books, in Sanskrit especially, and why is an ancient manuscript hard to find these days?
The brits not only tried to manipulate the cultural background of India, they also brought off various different volumes(along with different versions) to be used for their translation and 'revision' activities. These were all stored in the vast library of the east India company and were extensively used by scholars who were paid by the Asiatic research society. These were the same scholars who contributed to divide part of the brit policy of divide and rule.
The brits also tampered with the Bhavishya Puran by forging and fabricating verses relating to the period of Chandragupt Maurya and Vikramaditya - in chapter six and seven of the first part of Pratisarg Parv.
The copy we get these days of the Bhavishya Puran is the tampered copy. Sadly.
The brits don't stop at this but once the copy of the books which suited their purpose was accepted by the same raj, those fraudulent copies were distributed in the main stream. The only evidence at the time were the originals - which sadly were all destroyed.
On a similar note, the raiders from north-east frontier(present day Afghans/Iranians, Izbekis and other such war tribes) also marauded into northern Indian provinces and after the looting of gold studded temples and diamond encrusted shrines, raping and pillaging they left. The temple had enough treasure for those looters had to come 8 more times to clear up every valuable thing!
The worst thing which happened on one of those journeys is that bakhtiyar khilji in c1200AD completely destroyed the University of Nalanda, near modern day Patna. The students and monk teachers were all listed and killed. Their library was so huge that it took the raiders 3months just to burn the books!
Another instance was when the University of Taxila(near Kabul,it was still India then) was destroyed and the library of holy Scriptures was burnt down too! This barbaric act was done by the Huns, under their leader ghengiz khan who was on his way to conquer Europe and was using the silk trading route.
Strangely, during the time of Buddhist influence in India, the Vedas as well as its affiliated books were destroyed by buddhists because their religion was non-vedic. Of course, after Asoka's rule, there weren't any nationally endorsed followers of buddhism because, in my view, it wasn't a very realistic view of life to enforce upon people in a time when sophistication was limited to ~2-4% of population and for the rest ~96-98% cruelty was a necessary means for survival.
India was actually called Aryavart. But its not a spoken name as the scriptures use Bharatvarsh instead.
Manu Smriti (2/21, 22) describes its exact location from south of the Himalayas upto the Indian ocean and its inhabitants are known as Arya.
The territory of India, during the Mahabharata war in 3139BC, lied up till Iran because of which even they called themselves Aryans.
The cunning brits saw an opportunity here brought on by the then new discovery.
It was the brits who used such information for theirtheir selfish reasons and fabricated a new angle of the story to fulfill their ulterior motives we spoke about earlier in this essay.
The new story says: that an unknown new barbaric hoard from central Asia came in and settled in Iran.
According to the brits and the papers studied in their Asiatic researches, these newly migrated people were the Sanskrit speaking ones because of which they called themselves Aryans.
Fictional stories do not need evidence as they are self created dogmas.
Careful study of the ancient history of India will reveal that there have been invasions by Shakas, Huns, Persians and even Greeks but never any Aryans!
The second millennium BC was a period of establishment, expansion and migration of many civilizations.
The Sumerian's peaked ~2000BC
Babylonians ~1700BC
Assyrians ~1400BC
Hittites ~1200BC(using Akkadian cuneiform script, earliest record found dated ~1700BC)
Cursive alphabetical writings of Hebrew and Aramaic language started taking it primitive form c1000BC and Greek c900BC.
Based on above known, globally accepted evidence of civilizations of middle east, the brits tentatively fixed the non existent Aryan invasion of India ~ c1500BC.
Max Muller was principle promoter of this theory and established the dates of Vedic origin accordingly.
In 1833, Thomas B. Macaulay(1800-1859) was appointed to the governor generals council by east India company with a specific agenda to modify the education system of India.
Discouraging Sanskrit and the original broad minded educational system, he ruled in favor of a specifically redesigned western system based on English and tailored to root out the moral fabric of India to (sic) "produce a group of people who would be Indian in blood and color, but English in taste, opinion and intellect."
(Ref: archives, directives of the imperial authority and guidance of the british parliament on matters of governance in the established colonies.)
Oct 1844AD saw the passage of a law by lord william hastings, then governor general of India, which mandated ALL government appointments in India should have a preference to English knowing people.
(Ref: the life and letters of Fredrick Max Muller, 1 - to his wife, Oxford, Dec 9, 1867. 2 - to his mother, 5 Newman's row, Lincolns Inns Field, Apr 15, 1847, 3 - to Chevalier Bunsen, 55 St.Johns street, Oxford, Aug 25, 1856, 4 - dean of oxford, 5 - the duke of argyll)
The letters sent by Max Mueller to his wife and mother, not easily found, reveal:
1. He lived in poverty back in London before being employed by the british.
2. To his wife, Dec 9, 1867, I feel convinced, though I shall not remain to see it, this new edition of the Veda's will hereafter tell to a great extent on the fate of India and on the growth of millions. It is the root of their religion and to show them what their root is, I am sure, the only way of uprooting is to do away with the immense 3000 year old culture and religion.
Apr 17, 1855 - Bunsen replied to Muller - "you have so thoroughly adopted the English disguise that it will not be easy for any one to suspect 'you' of having written this 'curious article.'"
"Its a delight to realize your cousins recommendation in Paris, for you to be in the diplomatic service. I am especially pleased to see how ingeniously you contrive to say what you announce not to discuss!"
Letter of john Muir, editor - original Sanskrit texts and origin and history of people of India - 33 Sussex gardens, Jun 26, 1854.
Dear sir, it may interest you to know there is a pundit in London accompanying Maharaja Dhuleep Sing as his tutor/guide/companion. His name is Nehemiah Neelkanth. Based on his knowledge of and expertise in Sanskrit and ancient literature, he's been currently employed as a catechist. This was after he converted to christianity of course and since then has written against Vedanta, which is in a scholars view may be labelled interesting.
The greatly renowned pandit of colcutta Sanskrit college, basically came up with his dictionary, called vachaspathyam with totally incorrect usage of Sanskrit root words like 'ashwamedha.' Any historian with deep rooted ancient knowledge knows to be a yagnya using a horse as an object of divine growth of the kingdoms boundaries. The dictionary which taranath of Sanskrit college of Calcutta created, says the 'ashwamedha' yagnya was only a ritual of horse sacrifice because the root word 'medh' was incorrectly defined.
Even today, people quote that dictionary and its definitions thinking its from an Indian scholar - which is what the brits wanted. The vachaspatyam, Sanskrit-Sanskrit dictionary was an enormous undertaking and had six volumes which were skillfully created and artfully made to misrepresent certain words which Max mueller found to particularly benefit.
There are many other examples of words like 'goghn' used in 'dashagoghne sampradane,' which means "receiver of the cow" but was translated to "sacrificer(killer) of the cow!" Can you, honestly knowing India, think anyone could think of mass slaughtering of cows? It may actually be illegal to do so!
(Ref: On 26 Jan 1866 - public instruction #507, fort William. Sir Cecil Beadon, Lt.Governor general of Bengal stated:
I am directed to the acknowledge the receipt of your office letter N.2 dated the third instant and in reply to convey the lt.governors sanction to purchase 200 copies at Rs.50 per copy aggregating Rs.10,000/- for the Sanskrit dictionary which Pandit Taranath, grammar prof. of the Sanskrit college, Calcutta, engages to provide in no more than 5years. I am to add that no sum will be paid until the entire work is completed.)
