zjj 1 Report post Posted January 20, 2007 I heard that the name Rome is in connection to the name Rama. Stephen Knapp mentions it in his book 'Proof of Vedic Culture's Global Existence'. He also mentions how the Vatican comes from the Sanskrit word 'Vatica' which means garden, and that the Vatican was once a sacred sanctuary for rishis and sadhus. You should be able to buy Stephen Knapp's book online maybe on amazon or from the Bhaktivendanta Book Trust. Jai http://www.trafford.com/06-0382 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
