Last century British historians would prefer that you keep considering Vedic literary works like The Mahabharata and Ramayana as mythological legends. Never mind the fact that ancient India and Vedic Civilization provided foundations for most of the worlds philosophical doctrines, the mathematical use of the zero and so called “arabic numbers” (brought into Arabia by Indian merchants), and descriptions of the atom and the soul. Western egocentric civilizations refuse to acknowledge their sources, so one must play Indiana Jones and try to bring credit where credit is due. Lord Krishna’s lost city of Dwarka was one of these so called “legends,” but remains are now being uncovered by Dr. S.R. Rao, one of India’s preeminent archeologists.

I wanted to start this Vedic category with a video clip from Devavision Productions, describing how early European explorers and Indologists misinterpreted their findings. This ancient treasure of knowledge has been passed down from guru to disciple from time immemorial. It is recommended that one should study the Vedas from experienced teachers, not from so called scholars who merely poke around and speculate without practicing the spiritual disciplines described in these shastras (scriptures).
