Kum Kum

roof of the Ancient Global Vedic Presence

Dear Friends,
I have recently learnt about another fascinating link between India,
Egypt, China and the Ancient Americans. It is Kum Kum or Vermilion
powder.
Archeologists are currently puzzled because nearly every ancient tomb
they uncover has Kum Kum powder drenched all over the interiors of
these sites. Whether its in China, Peru, Mexico or Egypt the use of
vermillion/Kum Kum is used.
The question asked is," What significance did the red Vermillion
powder have to the ancient cultures around the world?"
Of course the western scholars have alot of speculation to offer, but
to my knowledge not once have any of these so-called experts publicly
considered the fact that nearly a billion people are still using
Vermillion powder on a daily basis.

Just Perhaps these billion people might have some information as to
the significance of Kum Kum Powder in the current era and by tracing
its use we may come to the obvious conclusion that India's Modern
Hindu Civilization is the only civilization that has maintained an
unbroken link with the ancient world. This fact, once accepted, will
allow the world's academia to begin to come up with accurate theories
that actually make sense and can be easily verified by the ongoing
practical and applicable realities of everyday life. In other words,
an ancient potters wheel has the same use as a modern one, and it is
easy to deduce its applicable usefulness even thousands of years
later. The same method can be applied to Kum Kum.

If the archeoligists really want to know why the ancient Chinese,
Egyptians and Americans used vermillion powder they need to ask the
Modern Hindus of India. Its only logical to learn from the people who
have used it for thousands of years and are still using it. I am
truly amazed at at the value given to the many ignorant theories
about India that have been created without any input of those living
the culture. Prejudiced theories can surely have no more value than
the wholistic theories that take into account the traditional
versions of a culture along with modern scientific research
techniques. Only when these two are united can we ever cross over the
tyrrany of politicized academia.
SO I HAVE ANOTHER CHALLENGE TO ALL THE ANTI-VEDICS.
WHY WERE THE ANCIENT INCANS, MEXICANS, CHINESE, EGYPTIANS AND INDIANS
USING KUM KUM?
MY ANSWER IS OBVIOUS. THEY WERE ALL BRANCHES OF THE ANCIENT GLOBAL
VEDIC FAMILY AND THEY USED KUM KUM FOR THE SAME REASONS MODERN HINDUS
USE KUM KUM.
