....... and numerous other examples showing similarities in phonetics suggest that the western languages were at one time taken from India where Sanskrit is originated and the Veda was written some 30,000 years back.


Why we the Western scholars find it hard to accept the historical reality that India was the origin of all civilizations? Will Durant and Toynbee, both have advocated that India is the craddle for the world civilizations most of which have vanished in different parts of the world, leaving behind relics to recount the past..

DNA evidence has determined that Africa is the origin of all civilizations. Scientists have sampled DNA from all over the globe and have determined how the various strains are related. Based upon the different levels of deviance from a common ancestor, those in Africa have been determined to have the most variety, which is in direct connection to the length of their developmental period. Life in areas that have been more recently inhabited have been shown to have the least amount of variance in their DNA patterns. Therefore human life has been on the African continent longer than any other place on earth. India included.

And as for your outrageous claim that "the Veda was written some 30,000 years back", that is very inaccurate. It is traditionally dated to approximately 1700BC - 1500BC. That is only a little over 3500 years ago, by my reckoning. Sumerian cuneiform records date back to 3200BC, well before the Vedas were written. Even the oral tradition of Sanskrit has only been traced back some 5000 years - nowhere near the 30,000 you have purported.

Also, Greek, Latin and Sanskrit are on three completely separate language branches of the Indo-European family. Greek has its own branch, Latin is a subdivision on the the Italic branch, and Sanskrit is a subdivision on the Indo-Iranian branch. So Latin and Greek are in no way derived from Sanskrit.

Actually, linguists have determined that Sanskrit and Latin have a common ancestor, which they call "Indo-European". As I recall they theorize that the language probably originally developed around what is now Turkey, and spread out in all directions from there. It didn't take everywhere, though; for instance, Hungarian, Finnish, and Tamil are not Indo-European languages.

Dear Friend, you gave Excellent translation in English and nonetheless desire what '' ABOUT"" this verse ? Exactly what do you desire? The that means you understand. It was once mentioned approximately Shiva ( that doesn't imply Shiva on my own , you'll say Any god , in view that there may be ONE GOD ALONE ). The Author of the verse is telling GOD is YOUR MOTHER, FATHER, FRIEND ,RELATIVE ,HE IS THE WEALTH AND THE GNAANAM , IN ESSENCE HE IS EVERYTHING TO YOU . THAT IS NATURAL. WHAT EVER EXISTS IS HE ONLY BE IT A HUMAN OR ANIMAL OR A THING. ONE HAS TO DEVELOP THAT '' EYE'' TO SEE THAT IN EVERY THING.THAT IS NOT THAT EASY AS SAID. You would possibly upload a few main points why or with what purpose published the query in order that we would possibly attempt to answer in that Direction. This Dull head would realise that so much handiest. I am NO MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY AS PER YA, as they eliminated the TC badge as you notice.

Hey Angel,

This is a fascinating one. I agree that most of Western scholarship is poor and limited on topics regarding the origin of civilisation. 5,000 or 6,000 years of civilisation is a modest standard that is held with almost no questioning.

Some people like William James Durant, in The Story of Civilisation, or other less famous Sanskri, Tamil and even Western scholars have favourably elaborated on the subject. Most of them agree that some words in Hebrew and Greek point to the existence of trade between the Tamil and the countries around the Mediterranean region.
