Vedic University to be set up in Kerala

[Maira La]

Its more about discovering the ancient traditions and studying of those ancient religious books.

The point being? I mean it's not something you can't do at home.
Any contribution to humanity?

Religious texts do put historical events in context and make us to understand more about our ancestors.

India is more than 5,000 years old civilization and those traditions are still being followed by millions of Indians.

A little off-topic here, but you're talking about the Chinese. India had multiple different civilizations inhabiting the region at different periods of time. It's not like one continuous 5000 or whatever year old civilization.

Funny for a bengali to speak such rubbish.

At Poompuhur, facing the Bay of Bengal, Indian divers have found a horseshoe-shaped object, measuring 85 metres in length, in water more than 23 metres deep. According to the scientists, the land on which this structure was built last stood above water more than 11,000 years ago.

That is evidence of civilization in 9000 BC.

Evidence of Dwaraka has been found that is 9000 years old. which is 7000 BC.

I am not talking about Chinese but about Indian Civilization.

Ramayan and Mahabharata are part of Indian Civilization and if we talk about Gautama Buddha then he even belong to Indian Civilization.

So...mmm... how exactly did you counter my argument? Did you read my post? Lol.

 

[ashok mourya]

What use is such a university guys going to rediscover 0?

Today What you are considering modern, will became antique after 100 years.Vedic universities mostly teach Vastu science,, Sanskrit,Yoga and naturopathy, Ayuraveda,Astrology and Vedic math n science.

Is it from anywhere linked to Bhagvat Gita ? because there were articles in December 2014 that Bhagvat Gita was written around 5,146 years ago.

It would be revival of Sankrit which would be the most important step .

Well, but you can't put a date on those fairytales. Like we don't know what era those are from. Could be 2000 years ago or even a hundred thousand. You never know. What I'm saying is you probably confused the Chinese saying "5000 year old civilization" with Ancient India.

That is based on the Hindu calendar and the calculations made on the basis of the grah-dashaa (location of the star and planets).

IT could be the same city or a different city.

Not interested in countering your argument. I prefer to see you live in ignorance.

There have been research done , when Bhagvat Gita was written and on this basis only i am saying but to more research will be done on other scriptures then i am pretty sure that it will show that Indian Civilization is more than 5,000 years old. Ramayan was written before Mahabharata.

May be the Chinese are counting from Gautama Buddha era. But here i am talking about when Bhagvat Gita was written.

That is based on the Hindu calendar and the calculations made on the basis of the grah-dashaa (location of the star and planets).

Dwarka is the city of Lord Krishna and the cities where the battles of Mahabharata has occured are still existed in Haryana and neighbouring states.

If Bhagvat Gita is 5,146 years according to a recent research then how come Dwarka can be 9,000 years old ? Just a question which is coming in my mind.

Maybe Gita is older than 5000 years or the city is not Dwaraka but a still older city. Both are possible. Or Dwaraka was built on the ruins of an older city.

A month ago in mid-January, marine scientists in India announced
they had sonar images of square and rectangular shapes about 130
feet down off the northwestern coast of India in the Gulf of Khambhat
(Cambay). Not only are their sonar shapes with 90-degree angles,
the Indian Minister of Science and Technology ordered that the site
be dredged. What was found has surprised archaeologists around
the world and was the subject of a private meeting two weeks ago
attended by the Indian Minister in charge of investigating the
underwater site about thirty miles off the coast from Surat.An
American who traveled to that private meeting was Michael
Cremo, researcher in the history of archaeology for the Bhakti
Vedanta Institute in India and author of the book Forbidden
Archaeology. I talked with him today in India about the dredging
operation, what the ocean engineers found and the implications of
first carbon dating of artifacts at more than 9,000 years.

Michael Cremo, Researcher of Ancient Archaeology
and Author, Forbidden Archaeology

"Within the past few months, the engineers began some dredging
operations there and they pulled up human fossil bones, fossil wood,
stone tools, pieces of pottery and many other things that indicated
that it indeed was a human habitation site that they had. And they
were able to do more intensive sonar work there and were able to
identify more structures. They appeared to have been laid out on the
bank of a river that had been flowing from the Indian subcontinent
out into that area.According to the news releases, they have done a
radiocarbon testing on a piece of wood from the underwater site
that is now yielding an age of 9,500 years which would place it
near the end of the last Ice Age.Yes, those are the indications that
are coming. There were actually two radiocarbon dates: one about
7500 years old and another about 9500 years old. The 9500 yea
r old one seems to be the strongest one. That's the one they are
going with. This was announced by Minister Joshi (Murli Manohar
Joshi is Indian Minister for Ocean Technology) at this meeting I
attended in Hyderabad, India. He said there is going to be more
work going on. It's difficult because it's very difficult to see down
there. There is a very swift current. So, it's going to have to be a
pretty massive effort, but he said the government of India is willing
to put the resources behind it to do whatever it takes to further
confirm these discoveries.I also spoke in Hyderabad with an
independent archaeologist not connected with the Indian
government, but who has a deep interest in these discoveries
and he says they are still going to have to send divers down there.
Up to this point, they have not sent divers down. The information
they have is based on the sonar readings and the dredging they
have done. Eventually, they are going to have to find a way to
get people down there to take a closer look at this. I think this
effort is going to go on.

Arent there any Oral traditions on this whole ?

Some interesting facts about the excavations of Dwarkha city.

The excavations carried out during 1979 in the Dwarkadhish Temple Complex revealed three temple remains. In all, eight settlements can be distinguished at Dwarka.

The first settlement made in the 15th century B.C. was submerged or washed away and so also the second one made in the 10th century B.C. After a long gap the third settlement was made in the 1st century B.C./A.D. as suggested by the Red Polished Ware and copper coins known as Karshapanas. It is during this phase that Temple I, was built. The lime-plastered surface of its stone masonry still retaining a few lines of red ocher painting suggests that the plinth was open to view above the then working level. After the first temple was destroyed the second temple came to be built on the ruins of the first. When the second temple was also destroyed, the third temple was built in the 9th century. It was perhaps in the 12th century a storm-wave blew away the roof leaving only the walls and plinth. The fourth temple came into existence soon after. The present temple of Dwarkadhish is the fifth in the series. Temples I to V represent respectively settlements III to VII and the modern town is the eighth settlement at Dwarka. It is this sequence finding of which led to present explorations at Dwarka.

During 1983-1992 underwater archaeological explorations have been carried out almost every year in Dwarka waters. The successive underwater investigations off Dwarka in about 4 to 12 m water depth have revealed the presence of a number of submerged stone building blocks such as remains of wall, pillar and bastion and also stone anchors of various types like three-holed, prismatic and triangular were noticed in various places. SDDE and SCUBA systems were used for the underwater exploration along with ‘Aquazepp’ the underwater scooter. The survey boats were chartered and were equipped with underwater camera, underwater TV system and airlift equipments for exploration and excavation.
