Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The religious belief that the Aryans brought to India, which formed the foundation of Hinduism, was starkly different from what Hindus practise. Just as the word 'Hindu' cannot be found in any of the Aryan scriptures, the gods and goddesses venerated in Hinduism are absent in the religious literature of their ancestors. For instance, Rama and Krishna, the most popular incarnations or avataras of Visnu, widely worshipped by Hindus of the modern age, are missing in the Vedas. The concept of the incarnation of gods cannot be found in the four Vedas. Moreover, Visnu of the Veda is not the four-handed god who preserves the universe. It is an epithet of the Sun. Similarly, the authors of the Veda were unaware of the existence of the destroyer-god Siva, though they spoke about Rudra, the divinity of thunder. Brahmā of the Veda is not the creator of the world. It is the name of the high priest of sacrificial ceremonies. The ancient Aryan gods lost their prominence with the advent of the Purānas. New gods and goddesses arrived at the scene while the ancient deities passed into oblivion. A few reappeared with new features and roles. 'THE FORGOTTEN DEITIES OF RIG VEDA' tells you how different the Aryan religion was from Hinduism as we know it today.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins with a deep appreciation for the labor and devotion of all the 19th and early 20th century European scholars who made the Rigveda known to the world. Yet, questions kept lingering: why the Rigveda doesn't have anything entailing Indian prehistory, culture, or of historical India? Who were the people for whose benefit certain sacrificers arranged elaborate festivities, most often participated by gods, so that hymns were composed to please them? The questions remained unanswered as the context of the entire Rigveda was assumed to be mythical or obscure. The Near Eastern sources of Indian Desi words made it possible to identify that it is the lack of context of the Rigveda, more than the obscurity of the language that had been the stumbling block in understanding it. Ancient Indian names were all titular and toponymic. In fact, all names, Sanskrit or Pali, Rigvedic or Puranic, were geo-ethnic in the sense, like Biblical names, both ethnic and personal names were made after the name of a place which could be a country or city, but usually a state. This property has been exploited to its fullest extent, and in doing so, this book answers the above questions, and brings coordination with later Indian literature Epic-Puranas. The book is aimed at understanding the Rigveda deities on the basis of Ancient Near Eastern place names in all available Near Eastern sources from inscription to books with historical and geographical data. It leads to the conclusion that the Rigveda deities are neither Indo-Aryan / Indo-European nor unique to the Rigveda. They are all well known Near Eastern deities except their names. The book opens up a number of new dimensions and should serve as a stepping stone for further research in many related fields of study.

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: Excerpt from Hindu Mythology, Vedic and Purânic By the introduction of afull index it is to be hoped that this work will serve as a classical dictionary of India; whilst the classification of the gods will enable the student to obtain a general View of Hindu mythology, and of the relation in which one deity stands to others. And as many legends are given at some.length, the book can hardly fail to be interesting to the general reader, who may not have time or Opportunity to refer to the sacred writings from which they are taken. A word of explanation respecting the classification of the deities is called for. It will be noticed that some of those described as belonging to the Vedic Age appear under the same or other names in the Purinas whilst others spoken of as belong ing to the Puranic Age have their origin, traceable indeed with difficulty in some cases, in the Vedas. The Vedic gods are those whose description is cfiieﬂy to be found in the Vedas, and whose worship was more general in the Vedic Age the Puranic are those who are more fully described in the Puranas, and whose worship was more general in the Puranic Age. Any very rigid classifica tion it would be impossible to make.w. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
