Book excerpt: This is a product of my life-long reseach to unearth the facts that Lord Indra, the King of the Gods o Hindu Gods Pantheon was a human being only, and was a proven historical person of the 15th Cenrury BC, which so far remained covered under the imposed Indian Mythology of millennium after millennium. This is the first-time unearthing of the top-most Vedic Hindu God, Indra, from the Myth of Celescial figure to the real facts of proven and recorded history of Mesopotamia, and duly corroborated by the TEXT OF RIG-VEDA, the most ancient Holy Book, written in a language of Pre-Sanskrit Indo-Aryan Language, an written in the Cunneiform Scripts, and later on shited in Sanskrit Devanagari Scripts. This Research Publicaton of the present author is a Flagship-Book, on the other revelations, that [1] Rig-Veda was a sudden and forced creation to give birth to a totally NEW RELIGION, now called " Vedic Hinduism" just started in 1432 BC: [2] and all the major Gods of Rig-Veda, except Agni, Vayu etc, were all living humans of the 15th Cenrury BC, two of them, namely Varuna, the Emperor of Babylon, whose Emperial Title in Mesopotamia History was" Burna Buriash" and other God, Mitra, [ alternative name of Sun] was King of Mitanni Kingdom, having official title, Paratarrna Parashastra, and all the 13 New Gods, rarrated in the 62% Hymns of 1028 Hymns of Rig-Veda were used to make them king, [ Vide, the next book of this Series, written by this Aouthor, titled as " All Indo-Aryan Vedic Hindu Gods were of Mesopotamina Origin", followed by the " Life and Career of Indra as per Rig-Veda" re-created with the help of recovered and well-preserved historcal records, and ancient archaelogical evidences, including Indra's own Inscription, statue, Royal Seal, Indra's Clay tablets, and traced out locations of his lifes [the Mesopotamian Part] and Indra life and Career in the-then Greater India, including Afghanisthan and Eastern Iran, has been re-constructed by the well-preserved oldest Text of Rig-Vedic Hymns, wriiten in the life-time of Lord Indra as trustable tesimonies as good as wriiten Inscriptions on the stones. The last 10-years of labors of the author on studies of the Oldest Religious Text of Rig-Veda and contemporary historical and archaeological records, brough a fresh new revealations on the begining of the Hinduism in it's first phase, and threw new lights of Indilogy of India and it's polical history and kingdoms of that relevant times, massive destructions of Pre-Arryan people and their civilisation and culture, and fisrt big-bang of the Arryanisation of India, that controlled the remaining history of Indian political, religious, cultural, social life in the mainstream of Indian till today.

Book excerpt: Indra is the king of the gods, and yet, he is not worshipped with the Trimurti. Why is this? He is the god of luxury, who has a cow, a tree and a jewel which will fulfil all wishes, and he watches apsaras dance and gandharvas sing. But for all his pleasure and wealth–Indra does not have peace of mind. He is under constant attack from asuras, and in one story, he asks his most beautiful apsara to disturb the tapasya of the great Vishwamitra. Indra achieves success, becomes lazy, loses his kingdom, works hard to regain it, becomes lazy again–and the circle of life goes on. What is the meaning of this? Delve into the story of the god of the body, in this short, sweet read from Devlok.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Is Probably For The First Time That A Serious Study Of Deities Of Rig Veda Has Been Made With The Help Of Modern Research Methodology And Science To Find Out What The Rishis Had Said, A Few Thousand Years Back, About The Deities. Efforts Were Also Made To Identify These Gods. It Is A Finding Of Great Importance That What Rishis Had Said About These Gods Is Being Corroborated By The Western Science Today. Dr. Gupta Has Grouped These 33 Gods Of Rig Veda In Three Categories: (I) Natural Phenomena Gods Sky, Earth, Fire, Air And Water. All The Material Things Are Produced By Their Permutations And Combinations. These Five Natural Phenomena Gods Have Their Sub-Gods Also. For Example, Agni Has Surya Agni (Nuclear Energy), Apan Napat Agni (Agni In The Sky Like Lightning), Davanal (Agni On Earth), Badvanal (Agni In The Oceans Or Water) And Jathragni (Agni In The Body); (Ii) Gods Connected With Soul Energy Such As Vishnu (Can Be Compared With A Modern Generating Station), Brahama, Who Induces The Tiny, Invisible, Weightless Particles Of Soul Energy In All The Living Beings To Give Them Life, Shiva, Who, At An Interval Of Time, Takes Out This Particle Of Soul Energy From All The Living Beings And They All Become Dead, And Yama, Who And Whose Assistants Take These Tiny Particles Of Soul To A Place Called Yama Loka; (Iii) Craftsmen Gods Such As Vishvakarma, Tvastha And Ribhugan Who Assemble And Mix The Five Basic Elements In Different Proportions To Create Structures Or Forms So That Soul-Particles Can Be Introduced In Them; And (Iv) Miscellaneous Gods Such As Rishis And Other Men, Animals (Cow, Frog, Etc.) Raised To Godhood, And Other Important Things Like Meaning Of Prayer, Does Rig Veda Give History Etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home to one of the ancient civilizations of the world, India is also the birthplace of a dizzying array of gods worshipped by millions of Hindus living in India and across the globe. Over the centuries many of these gods rose to power and became the object of utmost devotion, only to fall from grace and lose their standing. These deities shared a peculiar trait: they were never perfect. In this multivolume series entitled, The Galaxy of Hindu Gods, Sach takes you on an extended journey to meet with the gods and share their tales with you. Among the multitude of deities, the most ancient are the Vedic gods, which include luminaries like Indra, Surya, Varuna, Agni, and others. Today a minor deity, the Vedic Indra was once the ruler of the three worlds who, under the influence of a mysterious power drink, fought with the demons and vanquished them. His reign did not last long. His comrades Surya and Varuna also had their glory days but were overthrown by other gods of the pantheon. Yet, after thousands of years, gods like Indra, Surya, and Varuna are still household names and honored in Hindu rituals and traditions. If you know little or nothing about Hindu mythology, this is your ideal starting point where you will meet the overwhelming array of Hindu gods and learn about their wonderful stories.

Download or read book Hindu Gods and Goddesses in Japan written by Saroj Kumar Chaudhuri and published by Vedams eBooks (P) Ltd. This book was released on 2003 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism introduced many Hindu Gods and Goddesses to the Japanese. The rulers were the first to be attracted to them. Historical records show that they earnestly believed in the miracles of these divinities promised in the sutras. Many miracle stories started appearing in popular literature as the divinities percolated down to the masses. The resulting naturalisation process in the case of some divinities went to the extent that they became an integral part of the native Shinto pantheon. Their popularity remains unabated even today. The Tantric Buddhist sects also played a vital role in propagating the divinities. They regularly worshipped the divinities in their temples where people thronged in large numbers. Many steps in these ceremonies, for instance, the homa ritual, are very familiar to the present-day Hindus. The monks have also produced a considerable volume of religious literature related to these divinities. Descriptions of many divinities show that they have not changed substantially over centuries. A study of these writings also shows that a large volume of Hindu myths and legends related to these deities were transmitted to Japan. These writings are also a testimony to the way the ancestors of the present-day Hindus thought about these deities, say, around the eighth or ninth century of the Christian era.

Download or read book Indra's Net written by Rajiv Malhotra and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating in the Atharva Veda, the concept of Indra's Net is a powerful metaphor for interconnectedness. It was transmitted via Buddhism's Avatamsaka Sutra into Western thought, where it now resides at the heart of post-modern discourse. According to this metaphor, nothing ultimately exists separately by itself and all boundaries can be deconstructed. This book invokes Indra's Net to articulate the open architecture, unity and continuity of Hinduism. Seen from this perspective, Hinduism defies pigeonholing into the traditional, modern and post-modern categories by which the West defines itself; rather, it becomes evident that Hinduism has always spanned all three categories simultaneously and without contradiction.It is fashionable among intellectuals to assert that dharma traditions lacked any semblance of unity before the British period, and that the contours of contemporary Hinduism were bequeathed to us by our colonial masters. Such arguments routinely target Swami Vivekananda, a key interlocutor who shattered many deeply rooted prejudices against Indian civilization. They accuse him of having camouflaged various alleged 'contradictions' within traditional Hinduism, and charge him with having appropriated the principles of Western religion to 'manufacture' a coherent and unified worldview and set of practices known today as Hinduism.Indra's Net: Defending Hinduism's Philosophical Unity provides a foundation for theories that slander contemporary Hinduism as illegitimate, ascribing sinister motives to its existence, and characterizing its fabric as oppressive. Rajiv Malhotra offers a detailed, systematic rejoinder to such views, and articulates the multidimensional, holographic understanding of reality that grounds Hindu dharma. He also argues that Vivekananda's creative interpretations of Hindu dharma informed and influenced many Western intellectual movements of the post-modern era. Indeed, as he cites with many insightful examples, appropriations from Hinduism have provided a foundation for cutting-edge discoveries in several fields, including cognitive science and neuroscience.

Book excerpt: Although the number of hymns composed in honour of the most popular member of the Vedic pantheon is nearly one- fourth of the total, a monograph on this important collection of religious poetry has up to now never been published. It has been the author's endeavour to ascertain and examine all relevant facts concerning their structure, the contents and composition of essential constituent parts of the hymns. Further, this study tries to understand how the poets presented their subject-matter and elaborated their themes; to illustrate by numerous (translated) quotations the character of their elements (praise, prayer, and references to sacrifices); to investigate how far these are kept separate; to examine numerous stylistic and phraseological particulars, and the various peculiarities of their versification as well as the syntactic aspects of this poetry.

This book was released on 1957-01-01 with total page 6687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time I have been preparing a general work on primitive superstition and religion. Among the problems which had attracted my attention was the hitherto unexplained rule of the Arician priesthood; and last spring it happened that in the course of my reading I came across some facts which, combined with others I had noted before, suggested an explanation of the rule in question. As the explanation, if correct, promised to throw light on some obscure features of primitive religion, I resolved to develop it fully, and, detaching it from my general work, to issue it as a separate study. This book is the result. Now that the theory, which necessarily presented itself to me at first in outline, has been worked out in detail, I cannot but feel that in some places I may have pushed it too far. If this should prove to have been the case, I will readily acknowledge and retract my error as soon as it is brought home to me. Meantime my essay may serve its purpose as a first attempt to solve a difficult problem, and to bring a variety of scattered facts into some sort of order and system. A justification is perhaps needed of the length at which I have dwelt upon the popular festivals observed by European peasants in spring, at midsummer, and at harvest. It can hardly be too often repeated, since it is not yet generally recognised, that in spite of their fragmentary character the popular superstitions and customs of the peasantry are by far the fullest and most trustworthy evidence we possess as to the primitive religion of the Aryans. Indeed the primitive Aryan, in all that regards his mental fibre and texture, is not extinct. He is amongst us to this day. The great intellectual and moral forces which have revolutionised the educated world have scarcely affected the peasant. In his inmost beliefs he is what his forefathers were in the days when forest trees still grew and squirrels played on the ground where Rome and London now stand.

Download or read book All Vedic Hindu Gods are of Mesopotamian Origin written by Sukumar Das and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, this book revealed, rubbing off the mythological muds, and established that the Gods and Goddesses of Vedic Hindu Religion included 12 Living Human beings of Mesopotamia of 15th Century BC, who were deified by writing Hymns in their names by the contemporary High-Priest Clans from Mesopotamia, under the dictation of the Great War-Lord Indra, who successfully invaded, conquered and established four major Indo-Aryan Dynasty along with his own empire during 1432 BC to 1390 BC, deified himself as the King of all Gods, and also deified his war-strategist, Technocrat and Medico-Surgeon Hittite Royal Twins by a God-name Nasatya, deified his young age patron Rishi Rudra of Canaan [ as God of Storms, Chief Priest of the Angira Rishi Clans of Kassites, his life-long career-associate Rishi Vrihaspati as Chief God of the Vedic Gods' Pantheon, deified his Cavalry Chiefs with common God-Name Marutas, coping the name of Kassite War-God Marruttwas, including his childhood friend Lord Vishnu, Mother Aditi, weapon-maker Tvasta, just expired Indo-Aryan pride, emperor of Babylon, Burna-Buriash by the word Varuna, King Barattarna of Mitanni Kingdom by the word Mitra [ alternative word for a Sun-God], his three illicit sons by a common God-Name 'Ribhus', and their mother, Indra's Consort Saranyu, and allowed to induct traditional Gods of Natural phenomena like Fire, Air, Sun, Water, Rain, Dawn, River, Dyous and Prithvi, all together 33 gods, compiling Hymns on them in the world's oldest Book of Religion called Rig-Veda, having 1028 Hymns, of which 71% of Hymns were awarded to 8 human Gods like Indra, Nasatya, Marutas, Varuna and Mitra. Lord Indra the conqueror India was honored by 250Hymns, Agni, the fire-God was praised in Rig-Veda by 2nd highest number of 209 Hymns, as fire's contribution to burn the Cities and Settlements of the Black-Indians and thus getting their left out wealth and vacant lands], Hard-Drink Soma Juice was highly praised with 123 Hymns in exclusive 9th Mandal in addition to Hymns in all other Mandalas, as it could only give Indra and his Cavalry Soldiers the 10-time extra energies for insane destruction, cruelest killings, plundering [not otherwise possible, all victories in all 150 wars], and the most resulting giving time of attack being dawn-time before rise of the Sun, and so, the Usha-devi [Goddess of Dwan] was offered more hymns that God Vishnu, Rudra, Brihaspati, Varuna, Mitra etc. So, the deification crave to the invaders, destroyers, plunderers, killers of the local Indians, colonizer of conquered land, got 91% of the total God-making Hymns of 846, living aside other hymns on non-god subjects. This gives a factual idea that the Holy Book of "Rig-Veda" was composed as a book of cheering and praising poems of "Physical Imperialism & Mass-Killings", and this created a new Religion to worship the Human Gods, that succeeded to provide permanent settlement, political and military hold, religious and socio-economic dictatorship of the Indo-Aryan invaders and settlers for perpetuity, and imposing a religion for the 'enslaved population' to worship their devastating killers. But such a sadistic joke, such a impossible scheme, could still made to work, as all religions spread very fast by the sponsorship of political and military powers only. Rig-Deva created the " Vedic Hindu Religion" in India, and the Hinduism is still surviving as the 3rd biggest religion of the mankind.And the bare fact also is that out of 33 gods, 30 were imported from various regions of Mesopotamia, retaining their original name and domains, and all gods did have their equivalent counterparts spread over the vast land of Ancient Mesopotamia.
