The vedas is also called the "apocalypse", because traditional Hindu thought: the vedas is the supreme Lord himself, it is the eternal existence.Vedic knowledge first created by to teach in the universe is responsible for, and then through the ancient prophet pass eternal truth to the world, then carefully in the form of teacher and pupil mouth fell down.So it is a human directly heard god enlightenment experience, rather than by any mortal mind complete.

The vedas is very long, in order to make it easy for people to accept, gradually in the process of inheritance is divided into the rig Veda, the Sha "vedic", "" soft vedic", the atharva Veda four units, such as the four "vedic" document called the "set", by the sacrifice ceremony of carols dedicated to the gods.This episode is further classification, formed three classic: "brahmana", "forest in the book, the upanishads, the three kinds of literature can be interpreted as guidance explains religious ceremony, richly contain theological thinking.The vedas have many supplementary books, auxiliary vedic research includes phonetics, grammar, etymology, rhythm, astronomy, military, architecture, medicine, music, dance, such as scientific ideas, and more than 108 units of the upanishads, and 18 units such as famous purana and so on.

Historical evolution

In the four vedas to rigveda, as early as the original part can be traced back to 10000 BC era, living in the Indus river on both sides of the Aryan period.Other three volumes of the vedas are all a hotchpotch of rigveda derivative works, one after another was written after the latest rally for the atharva Veda.After the three volumes of the vedas divine comedy, is not part of the rigveda retelling of the divine comedy, is developed on the basis of it.The vedic divine comedy has long have short, long song is a song of the vedas.A short song is a song for praise or only a praise.The majority of the praise is composed of four, a few made up of three sentences.

Book the age of the vedas is called the vedic period in India.It USES more ancient than the Indian Sanskrit language, is called the vedic Sanskrit.

India is a country ancient religion, throughout all aspects of Indian culture, in the family and society, for the average person living in India, religion is an expression of, is also the embodiment of the soul has a profound and complex.India's 1 billion population of more than 80% are hindus, historians agree that India is one of the earliest records of mysticism country in the world.

Upanishad namely "close to pass on scripture book", this phrase means: sitting near side of the teacher, abide by the secret supreme command, to obtain a secret place.Its doctrine strict requirements must be secretly teach those keenest seekers, and they must have a supreme moral self-discipline and noble and pure heart, to achieve the purpose of to escape.

The upanishads thinking is characterized by hermit idea and practice of penance.It teaches people life is painful, to liberation must be truly abandon means earth.To know or understand the absolute nature of self, one must renounce all actions and consequences.Book that only knowledge can get relief, and only through learning the upanishads taught by renunciation and peaceful methods to get the knowledge.The book also thinks that the hermit kingdom is the final phase of his life, it is the ideal conditions for wise and understanding higher truth.Through practice, "dominate" or control the mind, breathing and body, recluse will be turned into a fixed point, and can be bent on the nature of the self.The upanishads literature tells the story of a variety of different ways of yoga practice, through the practice of yoga, cultivating personal inner realm of consciousness, the yogi can realize the real nature of self, which is "".

"Meaning" in the upanishads are "blessed" and "I" as well as the two unity (brahman and self)."Brahman" (Brahman) - the vedas - because of origin of the universe;The ultimate truth."I" (atman) - spiritual, self, self.(or elsewhere)."Vatican I unity" -- as a personal life between the atman and Brahman, which is the basis for the universe has its essence is the same, the eternal, constant out, like vanity, intangible phase all black silk ribbon, and beyond all experience consciousness can idea, any known him from death, and did not limit his time and causality, because they are made up of him."Vatican I" people through internal to self understanding, hit a transcendental ultimate truth (brahman) generally, and instead of one, and make the individual soul from experience of the world, to become real, light and joy.

Upanishad style beauty, free, each fable in the book are permeated with the wisdom of the pure and fresh, "such as the dawn of the dawn, such as the pure air in the mountains".All the upanishads has more than one hundred, the main there are ten a ancient upanishad, were all India ideology as a sacred treasure house of knowledge.

Atharvaveda is one of the four vedas in ancient India.And about founded around one thousand BC.The book twenty volumes, including 5 a hymn, consists of about six thousand verses, but roughly one 5 edition from the rig Veda.Praise is much by verse, only one 6 are written in prose.Content mainly checked the curse of the law and the folk, also contains the philosophy, and above and the highest principle.

The mantra, contained in the book reflects the folk belief and act, with the means of folk literature.From the words of the book, the rhythm and philosophy, established can prove that the book s than other three vedas as late.Aspects such as philosophy, the department after the end of the rig Veda's philosophical thought, obvious tendency to monotheism or the idea of monism, the creation of the universe, a supreme god or the highest principle.Again, the code of manu is not this the name of the vedas, and only three other vedic, know the book when it is in the beginning was into four vedas.

India's part of the vedic literature, ancient India's oldest surviving.The full name of the rig Veda.

The original meaning of the vedas is known, namely knowledge;The name of the rig is in verse.The rig Veda which produces s could be around 1500 BC, only those editions, poetry 1028 first, there are 11 first is considered to be the appendix.The shortest poem only three day, the longest section 58, generally no more than 12 knots.There are 10552 stanza.The creation of poetry s have successively.Language is more ancient than India's other within the language.The poetry creation and compile an exact date has not yet been determined.The book is divided into 8 or 10 volumes.India's traditional thought, imparting by ancient poetry is down in the book, by a man named broad, vyasa) monk processing collate and become immortal.

The content of the poem in the rig Veda is more complex, there are ancient myths and legends, there are also nature and realistic reflection of social life, and sacrifice and witchcraft.These poems reflect the Indian period of primitive society to slavery and class differentiation and the idea of social transition, the life and customs.Mythology praises to god is most of the gods of indra.For the myth of the god, the Indian religions explain later.The embodiment of modern thought they first is a natural phenomenon, thought is a reflection of social phenomenon, after due to excavation of cultural relics appear constantly, reflected in the myths and legends have a further understanding of the historical facts.Works of several poems to the doubts about god, shows the earliest Indian philosophy.The rig Veda as ancient history of literature is human precious heritage.

As literary works, the rigveda contains some of the early man is pure and fresh and simple poems.There are many poems has a level in art, not the original simple song.The poem in the book for 15 kinds of rules, visible at the time the development of literary creation.Metrical poetry is the number of each section of the poem sounds neat sentence as a unit.Four of the eight sounds other popular rules of composition section, is generally called 32 notes section.Of course, including some sterility, words, the mechanical work, such as to give some praise poem.

The rig Veda by oral for a long time, after the writing, until the 19th century by the European press for the first time.Existing all the languages translation or selected.

The myth of India is quite meaningful, if the circumstances are often incredibly bizarre and fascinating.But at the same time, the Indian myth is notoriously complex, has system, but the source is complex, and the historical evolution of the landscape through many layers, and often unpredictable and uncertain.It can be divided into: ancient civilization period (not), and during the great epic, puranas, period.About 1500 to 600 b.c. The advent of the vedas, is the most important classic of ancient civilizations of India.The original meaning of the vedas is knowledge, knowledge.

The vedas recorded all hymns,, religion, manners, customs, thoughts, and philosophy, here, the Hindu mythology first systematically combined.One of the most ancient vedic set the rig Veda, content is mostly on the natural ode to the gods, known vedic myths system basic is built on the rig Veda records.Raytheon indra, fire jain, water god, the god of death yama, helios surya, luna soma and fengshen cut by this period that is to be modulated, and praising god.

The late vedic culture, India, the emergence of the caste system is one of the rights more concentrated embodiment.Around the 6th century BC, India into the era of the nations, economic development,The warFrequent, speculative deep, is the three major characteristics of The Times.During this period, the old myths have been editing, and continuously produces new mythology.Religion, Buddhism and jainism, and these two different sects and reproductive the myth.In the 4th century b.c., India's biggest two epics, the ramayana and appear here, indra, etc. The position of god be cut, Hindu mythology turning into a period of great epic.

Indra (Sakra - devanamlndra), Sanskrit transliteration for huan indra "" Buddha.Where "" means" to ", as the last name;"Huan" means "day";"Indra" stands for "emperor";Collectively known as "sent" or "day emperor shi".In the buddhist classics, in order for unity to be and other the appellation of the heavens, in the end, will take away my day word called "indra day".Is the ray of Hinduism and brahminism emperor, is in the buddhist day emperor (tian long ba bu head).

Indra in the vedic myths period is the most worship, in the most ancient vedic classic literature in the rig Veda, there are a lot of praise him, he is seen as the only Lord god, reign, revered as the "king of the world".While the brahma and so on three big god hasn't appeared.This also reflects the ancient indians worship and awe of thunder and lightning.Vedic myths of indra, and the earth (the real ""), the son of god, was born in the world is in chaos.Soma drink he addicted since birth, and the strength of a strong no horse.Step length of his body at the same time, the sky and earth and god because of the fear that power to escape in different directions.Heaven and earth was separated, then never farewell from the date of (and pangu "epoch-making" has the same effect).

Indra, growing up is to catch up with the gods wrestle with a serpent period, not the gods, chestnut opponent more, have to strength endless indra, please help.Indra in terms: to admit that he is the king of the gods, and lent him half the power of the gods.The gods helpless, had to allow.So indra obtained the power of the gods and the title "king of the gods.He drank three Shang soma wine, take on, brave.

After a great battle, indra finally destroyed, chestnut, split and cliff drew ", "the sun was born from the water.So, indra monarch heaven and earth, points three times, water diversion and, to complete the creation of a winner.For the power of the gods borrowed, indra start roguing - "the borrower is big ye, Lao tze not also!"The gods also helpless, can only submit to humiliation.Since then, indra divided the world into four vedas part: his kingdom of ruling in the east, the younger brother sun son yama rule hades and his brother in the south sea witch building the rule of the westThe sea, the god of wealth, which the ruling the hag countries in the north.Indra's position as king of the gods "from completely solid.Until the coming of the brahmin period.

India myth of history into periods brahman in other three vedas (" Sha "vedic" yajurveda atharva Veda) as the center and the religious system was born.With the successive three god, indra status deteriorated.Later, vedic deities absorbed by Buddhism, identity and divine but also produced tremendous change, mostly buddhist guardian deity.Indra "king of the gods" name although retained its status and influence was much lower.As one of Buddhism for 24 days, he lived in "the six days of" second - Dao sumeru mountain is good to see the city of the day. Is a huge, is the center of the universe, is also a rotational axis of the moon and stars. The quartet has eight days each, a total of 33 days.Around the hillside points in the four major Kings, and, seven jinshan, surrounding the aral sea, the sea around the four most of the continent.

Indra when sent on Buddhism, become moral maintainer of heaven and earth.At ordinary times is the most important duty is to protect the Buddha, dhamma, and monks, and responsible for the investigation of good and evil of.If god rules violate day he punish;If there appears a tyrant, getting rid of.In China,templeAnd its image for the young emperor, but male body reflection, head Dai Bao crown, with decorative wreaths all, hand-held power battle or treasure pestle.Indra though still nominally eldest brother at this time, but in fact has become the Buddha's site.

The vedas and the great flood

We don't know yet whether there really is a monstrous flood washed away the prehistoric civilization of mankind, but around the world have a lot of legend, legend has similar points out: many big countries with highly civilization disappear overnight flooded in the bottom of the sea.Anyway, the more and more new findings may topple we known human history in the past, to compile a record the development of human civilization.We are looking forward to the early arrival of that day, not only to satisfy human curiosity, but because only a more complete understanding of the past, to create a better future. Six, legends about the flood of India

In India, actually also sank circulated at the story of civilization.The grand temple is located in the ancient city of gujarat peninsula duvall card, sacrifice the most revered Hindu gods of krsna.Legend ", on the same day the krsna to leave the earth duvall card also sank to the seabed."So people built a temple to honor krsna and flooded the city.

India's flood myth carrier except duvall card and ascetic manu.Like Noah in the bible, manu to build a ship, put the seeds in the ship, and then drifted on the water, the last stop on a top of the mountain.Manu is described as the Hindu sages, and it is a master of yoga.His mission is after the great flood to reignite the spark of civilization.This legend is based on facts?Really had been a deluge of India?

On this point, archaeologists found in the foothills of the Himalayas the more ancient ruins, that is the simple farming settlement, a few hundred miles distance to the sea.Occurred in northwestern India flood time just right and the building 2 s consistent, there may be flood survivors of natural refuge.In about manu legend, a flood destroyed the old civilization, survivors fled to the top of the hill, to thrive.These aren't just a coincidence?

As a key figure in the flood of manu is described in the vedas as a spiritual leader, long hair, and it is a master of yoga.As India's early religious documents, the vedas were indians pass on from generation to generation for three thousand years, has become a part of the modern civilization of India.If an oral texts can be inherited in three thousand, why can't is six thousand or nine thousand?It is said that six thousand years ago, there was a saint to sort out all the yoga posture focused into a system.This shows that the history of yoga is far more than six thousand years.People even have evidence to the vedas in early eleven thousand years ago.Geological experts believe that some poem described in the vedas is the end of the ice age glaciers melt.

The vedas describe the Sarah, who carry the heyday of the river, according to in the vedas, the Indian civilization is now by prehistoric civilization survivors rebuild after the flood.Now, geologists have found the lost river channel, it shows that the vedas could be had by witnessing the end of the ice age conditions.

Nowadays, sarkozy is swamp environment is one of the worst places in the world.But in the end of the last ice age, a river flows through here, but brought rich and beautiful here.The river is repeatedly mentioned in ancient documents of Sarah swahili.

Sarah, who carry river originated in the Himalayas, the river flows.Although the river has dried up, but still can be identified.Using the latest satellite technology, we can paint the whereabouts of the river, it from glaciers flowing into the sea, and the same.It is parallel with the Indus, but later turned to the south, and finally into the swamp card.

According to the description of the vedas, it is the largest river.About ten thousand years ago it was there, didn't disappear until six thousand years ago.And experts also prove this river disappeared before six thousand, so at least part of the vedas is completed in six thousand.

In addition to an ancient India Mr. Mathur is located in the southern Indian state of Tamil people residential area, the most holy place here is Mr. Mathur temple.According to the legend of tamils, it was built by the survivors of the flood.

Legend suggests that ten thousand years ago, these survivors in a highly developed society.The civilization's biggest merit is founded a great society "SangGan".The meaning of "SangGan" is collected.People gathered together, through mutual exchanges, common to complete the work.Later, flooding, the whole piece of land under heaven were covered.

"SangGan" flood myth suggests that a lost relics, ten thousand years ago, civilization is lying in the southern Indian state of the water of the sea, waiting for us to find.In fact, it is an exact date to eleven thousand six hundred years ago, this is what Plato's description of Atlantis in another sinking in the ocean of time.The study of the ice age, which has been proved in of "SangGan" s coast of India's land area is much bigger than now.

Affect future generations

The vedas is India's oldest, formed in about 1000 BC, including from late to work.By the rig Veda, the Sha "vedic", "" soft vedic", "the atharvaveda" four Sanskrit books, including the achievement and literature to the highest.The rig Veda was ancient indians praises to god and prayer;The "soft vedic including in with the Sha" vedic "is brahman prayer, records of ancient Indian ritual of the forces of nature, the atharvaveda are the families of the ancient and famous ciphertext manual.Specialty is not with the Vatican for regular ceremony and Sanskrit, phyletic and various, including eliminate evil, evil, curse, nebulae, body, goes by the blessed one, poison, etc.Detailed account of the various methods and implementation rules, to master one kind of legend can wield enormous power, until now still have a lot of ways around the world.

The classics by the brahmans as scripture, covered with strong religious color, but in the development of ancient Indian literature occupies an important position.It is the source of the original Indian literature, to future generations of social life and literature had a profound impact.
