Dates

are supremely important to what? What is the purpose of the texts from

which you are trying to derive chronology? Now people who want to

construct history try to define a new purpose for ancient texts namely

historic accuracy! Ultimately for any practitioner, historic accuracy

of the data in those texts is simply irrelevant. As far as the texts

themselves are concerned, history is at most a sidelight. Hinduism has

never been person or event centric, it has been idea-centric. And the

current model of constructing history itself, is quite different from

that. Shankara Bharadwajhttp://hindupedia.comsaurav_basu2007 <saurav_basu2007hinducivilization Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2009 8:34:13 AM[hc] Re: An examination of the chronology of Rigveda --- Narahari Achar

 

Spoken like a true Hindu who is nonchalant of historical chronology.

If only our ancestors had acquired a little more respect for preserving

our historical heritage, especially the Brahmins who corrupted

chronological frameworks just to appease the lowly origin kings

including the Guptas we would not have been in this peculiar situation.

 

 

Dates are supremely important [not the fantastic 7000 B.C for ramayana

types!] as all theories like OIT require the RV origins to be be at

least a few hundred years before the origins of the IVS.

why those specific R^ichaa's carved their place in Veda? How does it

really matter if the dates are 1000 or 3,000 or 30,000 yrs if we do not

understand the significance of the practical knowledge encompassed

within these R^icha's !

harmonious society.
