Guest guest Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 Namasthe, Add all Indology slaves' opinion including present day scholar Prof Mike Witzell of Harvard University, Pingree, another Idiot, who never know about natural cycles and started criticising. What is the scholarship of Prof Michael Witzell in Gola shaastra..He cant even pronounce samskr`tam words properly. So is evey McCaulite and english educated hindu, reading anglicised translations. These things got ingrained in the society through the very distorted "education" systems. These McCauly/Muller tribe is simply adhering to these distortions and wrongly propagating them as promulgated by Veda-s, shaastra-s. It is a sad level of ignorance of the current day English educated Hindu. Secret Doctrine, the work of Rudolf Steiner's friend HPB is full of such wild imganations. First understand ahOrAtri and varSa. Later you may get some miniscule about the precession and its movement. And these Indologists claim that Jyotisha came from Greece.. Wonder, these greeks dint know that earth was round?(ref: 340 BC - Thales, Ionians, etc) It was perfectly flat, fixed, and center of universe! For the Greeks, it was Aristotle who first tried to educate that earth was sort of round (not "perfectly" round like the heavenly bodies as he pictured them), but it was 13th century when Europe accepted this notion. Another indology creation: Yavana = Greece, hence all these follow. What if Yavana desha was not Greece in Varahamihira's works? "Yavana" appears in many ancient Indian works, including in the oldest Dharmashaastra. This is another debate: native accounts have BhArata war as some 5,000 years ago, Shree Rama as some 7,400 years ago, ManusmR`ti ('yavana' is named) from some 8,500 years ago, etc. For indology and the MacCaulay minions, all these are myths created during Gupta era, ~ 300AD, while western history is mostly based on myths of Bible, Genesis, Exodus, of about the same time! All our proud history of early Rome comes from legends! How nice! And you merely showing this stuff around here. And our primitive indologists accept only Rigveda as earlier than anything else. "If it is not in Rigveda, it was borrowed from Greeks" - so goes their blind creed. This is the way, these sunken stalinists operate. Now Prof. Narahari Achar is shattering the silly works of Witzell, Pingree and gang, by saying that nakshatra-s are in RigVeda( in terms of nakshatra aDhipati-s, not the vimshottari system). See the works of Achar at >From Prof. Achar's paper (http://www1.shore.net/~india/ejvs Vol. 6 (2000), issue 2 This proves that Jyotisha did not come from Greece(which was famos for flat earth, sinner life, harsh destiny). And so is Steiner's(he belongs to the HPB gang) works and you are mixing up their universal brotherwood to defend some wild imaginations. Read some recent postings on ayanamsha ands its relation to yuga-s from Manu Samhita to understand, rather than blindly following Primitive indologistss' view. Witzel, Pingree et al gang did not mince a word on Shri Achar's work. That is the (un) scholarshiop of these sunken primitives.
