Veda - Distortion and manipulation

                           VEDA

      DISTORTION AND MANIPULATION

     This post is based on the formulas to judge the authenticity of any scripture which were not used by the cults and academic institutions so how can anyone do further research or apply the things in day to day life. The major part of the research on veda moves around fake theories promoted by the cults and people holding the chair in the academic world. The interpretation may differ but the basic fabric must remain as it is. What is the meaning of this sentence?

 When the contents of the Vedic literature is prepared according to the need of the cult and pseudo intellectual the fabric changes. The purpose of Veda is to help human civilization so it will address various subjects. Personally anyone may not like a topic but that do not give a license to remove that one from the list. On the other hand a topic may suit personal interest but that must not be highlighted in the list by adding verses or cooked stories. In the other words night will remain night and won't become day because electricity is used or owl and four legged animals can see without light or spectacles. It will be a blunder to label the night as a day. 

The word veda is related with the information required to maintain the harmony with self, body, family, relatives, friends, state, country, residents of this planet (human and other forms), natural things and nature. When one talks about the authority of Veda it denotes experienced knowledge and before that it is simply avidya or ignorance. After all only information won't take anywhere. It must be applied or experienced. 

Since the current flexible Sanskrit grammar points toward knowledge so we have adopted that (knowledge) as the meaning of the word Veda but it must be supported by study, reasoning and experience. This trio is essential and any type of liberty will increase the confusion. The problem arises when it is labeled as unchangeable and unquestionable. Even none of the sacred books supports this mentality. 

The word astika or theist and nastika or atheist is added with Veda as if it is simply a book whose support results in theistic view and opposition results in atheistic angle. According to the Vedic literature we've the concept of asti - the book is here, the book is not here. The word 'here' is common in both the cases. Therefore the view of na-asti is not relevant in our system but on this basis Charvaka, Jain and Buddhism are termed as nastika because they don't accept the authority of Veda or take it as pramana. It also sounds like Veda is a book which has to be followed with closed eyes. There's not a single line which supports this claim pasted by the cults and academic institutions. 

The trio of study, reasoning and experience via various mediums, capacity to read the cosmic law, meditation on the scriptures, nidhidhysan and training of matching the scriptures is required to grasp the essence of Veda. When a seeker runs after grammar or various interpretation a mountain of confusion arises in the society. The flexibility of the Sanskrit grammar is misused and the meanings are calculated on the basis of personal agenda. 

 As said in the starting, harmony is needed and for that rules and regulations are made. They are changeable according to the socio cultural pattern of a particular period.

When mahamuni Vedavyasa saw the limited grasping power of mankind during the pauranic age he divided the bulk information on the basis of content. He became the first editor of Vedic literature. The students who graduated under him directly expanded the vedic literature through the lineage of 'guru shishya parampara'. The students coming from the same or various regions wrote several things as one can read about 1000 shahkas of Samaveda. When we talk about the lost material the shahkas were lost. 

 On the basis of meters three names were given - - RIGVEDA, YAJURVEDA AND SAMVEDA which were already present in the Upanishads. The Rik mantras had fixed number of alphabets and strictly followed a fixed pattern of pronunciation in all the lines. This was absent in other two. The Yajurveda is like a free verse where emphasis is on the message. The samveda was meant for singing and that's why in Gita it is highlighted in the chapter 10 for the melodious nature. 

The confusion is related with Atharvaveda which has got three more names (Bramh Veda due to the Rishi Brahm who was the seer of 400+ mantras, Chatra Veda due to the rules related with the administration, Bhishga Veda due to the topic of water and sun rays treatment) but due to vested interest it was taught that it came in the list of Veda afterwards. Therefore from the angle of contents vedas are four. Wherever the word त्रयी विद्या or trayi vidya is mentioned, it is denoting the dimension of the meter.

 The divided matter got different names due to the collection of mantras of the same nature. The mantras of other nature are also present but they're few in number. Therefore there's no need to scratch eachother's back in the name of pseudo intellectualism. It destroys the intellectual digestion.

There's nothing as first or oldest veda. When old or new is added we're limiting the Veda in a book containing some fixed item or subject. The vedic information is not concerned about this or that diet neither it stops females from chanting or hearing the verses nor it favors the casteism by birth. The current form of Veda is full of prayers which can be used by everyone.

The concept of division of labor was started when human thought of permanent settlement. Various things are needed to run the system and the people became skilled in one of them. After all everything can't be done by a single person which is revealed in the Vedas. 

 The extrovert community created scores of rituals which contained human and animal sacrifice. There's no need to search the spiritualistic meaning of them. That society was called demons or asura. The Satpath Brahman supports this point in a codified way. The human community got the information from both category of teachers - deva and asura. With this they had their own lineage of teachers. This is THE REASON of controversies in the contents. In the order to avoid this the Rishis of Vedic age gave the formulas to judge the authenticity of any scripture which were changeable according to the need of an era or even any other which might create turmoil in the society. Acharya Madhusudan Saraswati have supported this and pointed towards the greediness of a person involved in rituals when that person asks for personal gift in the name of distributing the things after homa.

In the name of research when formulas are not used the values will remain hidden. The controversies are further increased by taking fake books or those which were manipulated by adding portions, as authentic. As one can see the current edition of parashar samhita which talks about Hanuman's marriage. A temple is in khammam district of Andhra Pradesh. The camel is taken as his vahan on the basis of another fake book. One can see the worship of both in Mysore. When personally saw this in 2014 while attending a seminar, asked the reason but there wasn't any correct answer. The books of devotees were taken as the proof about camel as a vahan of Hanuman. With this there are books talking about two more wives and five sons. 

 The vedic literature is facing the problem of contents. When someone sees any particular veda, the Upanishads are absent. All the publishers are including Ishavasya upanishad because they are taught in a manipulated way. The cults says - - 'other Upanishads contain stories and names of rulers and sages. They sound like history'. This is nothing but blasphemy where people show their pseudo faith towards veda. When veda is taken as God then the almighty has the right to explain according to the grasping power of an individual. The names do not prove that they were added to promote hidden agenda. Readers are requested to read the post Upanishads - an investigation (in three parts) in the blog - akshaygroundreality.blogspot.com 

When a person wants to know about Veda a mountain of confusion comes in the picture. Let us see the mountain closely:--

1. How to understand them?

      In the order to avoid the whirlpool of interpretation one must follow the formulas to judge the authenticity of any scripture. One can see them in the post = Upanishad - An investigation (2) in the blog akshaygroundreality.blogspot.com 

2. Why they are needed? Can't we rely on the writings of renowned authors?

     The literature of ancient scholars was manipulated during Gupta, Mauyra, Mughal and British period in which many scholars sold their talent to meet the needs of the rulers. For example the concept of sun moving round the earth was injected in the bhashya and commentaries on veda. Even verses were added in few places to support this concept so that if anyone challenges the authenticity of the meaning, the verses can be shown. The astrology has never said this. The manipulaters knew the weakness of the mass who will run after big names and may not prefer a new author who is saying something after proper analytical research. One may ask about the version of astrology and other scriptures who talks about earth moving round the sun directly or indirectly. Here lies the need of the formulas. 

 When one closely watches the verses on the basis of chanda or meters, mistakes can be seen easily. Every cult has taken their founder as the incarnation of God with the quality of knowing everything. Their literature is full of contradiction and confusion. Many have wasted their energy in rejecting Adi Shankaracharya. Their own faith moves around puranas and dharmashastras which are paratah siddha (they must be approved by the formulas). Dharmashastras were written to address the need of an era. They are changeable but they're marketed as unchangeable. 

There are versions of Rishis which are based on personal experience. It is common since they wrote whatever they experienced on the basis of their status. When versions are highlighted, the division develops and the person stays till the version concerned. If one is happy with that, he /she can settle at that point but for a true seeker formulas are needed. A serious seeker will see the difference in the experience and might go on repeating it if there's an absense of study and reasoning. 

3. Can you give examples to prove their (formulas) importance? 

   The issue related with Hanuman and the earth moving round the sun is already mentioned. Here few light examples will be given. The word 'ADITYA' means surya or sun or one who illuminates. The kids of Aditi(one of the two wives of sage Kashyap, other is diti - mother of daityas) are known as Aditya. This word also means the consumer of the life. After all when a day is over, it decreases a day of the life. On the one hand sun gives energy required for survival and on the other hand it shortens day by day. Both the meanings are right. The manipulator will say the former one. Now which meaning must be taken and why? It cannot be judged simply by imagination or illicit reasoning. In this case there are 12 Adityas who're the deities of twelve months (one aditya for every month). This post can be achieved by penance. And all of them does the duty of give - take. There's one vishnu among them and in Gita(10. 21), krishna expresses himself to be Vishnu among Aditya who is the deity of kartik month of Indian calendar. In the same verse he describes himself as Ravi among the illuminating objects. The deity of kartik month is also playing the role of illuminating and Ravi is also doing the same. The Ravi denotes the object or physical form which can be seen by eyes directly whereas for the vishnu one has to do the penance. A seeker can also feel the presence of particular aditya based on the month alloted. This Vishnu is not in the trio of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. 

    

 The word Vishnu is related with the concept of all pervading - vyapnoti sarvam iti vishnu. And this is THE required meaning. Here, the manifested form is neither negated nor neglected. Thing is when someone pressurizes others to follow their version and create a division in the trio (brahma, vishnu and mahesh) with the help of puranas, flexible Sanskrit grammar, the society has the right to ask about the authenticity which depends on the formulas and not on the commentaries of the cults or literature of the devotees.

 4. What about Arya migration? Sanskrit as the foreign language? 

  None can claim any authentic answer. The current political map of India or of Gupta or Mauryan period supports the migration of the aryans but ages ago the map was different so from that angle the people belonged to the same nation. On the other hand tthings related with Vedic society were found in various countries which proves some sort of link on which research has not been done properly. 

The clay tablets discovered were not in Sanskrit which does not mean that it is a modern language. In the way construction industry has expanded and the lack of interest in the things of the past which are underground, it is not easy to show any proof but that also do not prove the claim about the period of the Sanskrit language. 

5. View regarding females chanting gayatri mantra or talking in Sanskrit? 

 In the same way the issue of stopping females and people belonging to lower caste as if casteism is by birth, from chanting Vedic mantras or even listening to them, torturing in the name of scriptures can be addressed easily. In one platform Akshay was abused while talking on casteism because the audience have studied casteism by birth and not by guna karma. The cults and academic institutions promoted the idea of 'Caste by Birth'. When this is the outcome of the research, healthy discussion is far away. The media and literary icons also relied due to personal interest. The so called reformers cashed the tears but they never accepted that they're not giving from their pocket. 

Regarding gayatri mantra, post in the blog akshaygroundreality.blogspot.com is available and a video (in Hindi - gayatri aur nari varg - gayatri and females) in the channel named Akshay Chaitanya in the youtube is present to serve the purpose. A funny reason given is females won't conceive after chanting gayatri mabtra. Male and female both are needed for a child. If a male can become father by chanting gayatri mantra females can also do this. The apparatus required for reproduction is in the body of aty female. Therefore there's no need to stop her from chanting. 

 6. It is simply not possible to understand these scriptures with accuracy due to linguistic changes, errors, the way written material was stored, etc.

 This charge is an excuse to avoid the analyses. Horizontal and vertical study of the literature, meditating on them, control over organs(sense, action and the mind), openmindedness, gratitude helps in the process of unfolding every scripture. 

 

Take the issue of casteism where animals were classified as Brahmin, khatriya, Vaishya and Shudra. One fellow said his guru swami shivanand never said anything like this. Another fellow said his sadhguru blasted casteism in 30 seconds. One after the other big names were quoted but the situation is same and their views were not taken in the syllabus or accepted nationally.

None of them studied the scriptures related with other creatures on this issue. They might haven't thought or not guided by their teachers or even tendency of hiding the facts is also possible because cults and academic institutions want their style of research or interpretation. It is done to maintain the supremacy of own caste or for spreading hatred towards a particular caste by supporting casteism by birth. Lot of literature is written to broaden the division and we're facing the result. 

It also changes on the basis of the profession because it is based on guna karma. Wherever there's any contradictory line it can be addressed. Speakers care about their target audience and Vedicliterature is blamed blindly. 

7. Veg and nonveg :-

The vast vedic literature contains the concept of nonveg also. It is neither a tribal tradition which got an entry in Hinduism nor added by foreigners. There's no need to see the spiritualistic meaning of animal sacrifice. In the way the definition and the contents of Vedic literature has been made, a mountain of confusion is standing in the front. Few old books on Ayurveda support non veg and even human flesh is mentioned. They're kept for reference purposes but not taught because many ingredients are not available. There are few homas for the ruling class where animal sacrifice is mentioned and not only that the species are prescribed for the sacrifice which means that the person does not have any choice. They were consumed as prasad. The verses are present in puranas which are either not kept before the audience or they're diluted by saying - 'animal was left after touching' and the rest of the verses remain hidden in the book. The tradition of shakt division of Hinduism has animal sacrifice in their scriptures. Few scholars claim that nonveg do not belong to the Aryans which is totally baseless. The ruling class belonging to the Aryan clan consumed nonveg and alcohol. On the other hand few 'liberals' say that it has nothing to do with 'dharma' and if Ayurveda says something, it is related with health and not 'dharma'. Ayurveda also belongs to 'dharna' - the dharma of looking after the physical, mental and intellectual well being which is needed to maintain a balance in behaviour and spiritualism. 

Pseudo preachers and so called lovers 

Sanatan dharma / Vedic dharma / Hinduism had divided society in the name of diet. In order to fulfil their ulterior motives non–veg was kept in the domain of tamasik food and as a major hurdle in the path of spirituality. They are not ashamed to question the spiritual progress of the saints who have consumed non veg. If vegetarian diet is the parameter of spirituality and awakening of kundalini shakti then all the herbivorous animals must be at that level of awakening. Even onion, garlic, carrot, jackfruit are taken as non veg. Among all these only onion and garlic got the support of various major bhakti sampradayas and organisations. Funny and cooked stories are promoted regarding their origin. For them these were produced from animals. The brainwashed society believes this in the name of faith. Not only illiterate but educated ones are accepting these 'discoveries' with full devotion and dedication. They are worried about the smell of onion garlic but happily accept in the case of cauliflower, radish and capsicum. The person who is consuming these vegetables feels the smell and others get during burp and fart but here also smell is divided. In fact the smell is due to the presence of certain chemicals in the vegetables. Sanatan dharma is not based on any diet plan. In fact every kind of food is related to body level and spirituality asks a seeker to go beyond that. 

8. Purush sukta :-

Horrible interpretation of this sukta which donot have same style of chanting is being used as a weapon. The faulty style of teaching is quite old because the ruling class wanted to promote own interest. And for that sponsored the scholars to wrote according to the need of their rulers. This trend is followed till now where facts are not kept in the syllabus properly. While dealing with other creatures the syllabus won't include those verses which talks about all the same four varnas. 

Biologically body parts can't give birth but the society is busy fighting on that basis because the sukta in the discussion talks about that. The surface or dictionary meaning can misguide easily but how many people really care about that. 

 9. Agam shastras :-

A group of books related with the construction, maintainence of temples, rules regarding the rituals and ceremonies conducted. They are based on the topography of a particular region and the needs of the local population. There's no need to show any type of supremacy or take them unchangeable when it comes to the rituals. 

They are not directly derived from veda. The different agamas were later added by the shishyas which can be proved by the style of presentation. That's why variations and differences are noticed. 

The trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh is neither taught nor supported openly by agamas. If one takes them as one, there's no problem but the society was taught division. Till now people are eager to discuss on the supremacy of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. 

If there's any contradiction or confusion, scriptures of higher level must be taken as a proof if the issue is mention in the my. If the issue donot have old reference formulas are there to judge the authenticity so there's no need to quarrel or hate or pamper one's own ego in the name of agam shastras. 

10. Dharmashastras :-

They denote the need of an era and are always changeable. None of them are final proof because all are paratah siddha. The current editions of code books are not original so from this angle also one must start hating eachother or blame old scriptures for all the problems. There is 

no need to add child marriage, honor killing, sati system, etc as a part of the vedic literature. 

All the smritis which are taken as dharmashastras were written on the basis of memory and that is why they are known as 'dmriti'. Out of these manusmriti is famous and the centre of chaos. All the available editions of various publishers are not real. Every serious reader can understand that the available hand written manuscripts of manusmriti cannot give a guarantee of originality. Whenever the published editing was burnt it was the 'fake manusmriti'. Just by seeing a handwritten manuscript do not take it as original everytime. The point to be noted is a person is copying someothet's written work directly from the original or secondary source. In both the cases the material is hand written. While copying the reliability stays doubyfull and in the case of the scriptures like manusmriti it was the secondary source everytime. Chances of removing and adding the verses is more. Therefore on the basis of several manuscripts an edition of a scripture is prepared. When the source is not authentic the prepared scripture must not be as the final proof. 

The period problem of females and restriction on entering temples, worshipping in home, etc is an age old conspiracy. It has nothing to do with religion and spirituality. Unfortunately so called dharmashastras do not allow them and without judging their authenticity fanatic followers on sanatan dharma are supporting this foolishness. Even deemed universities on Hinduism and several organisations are justifying this foolishness. Physical weakness is one thing but connecting an biological issue with worshipping is a crime. 

11. Sacrifice :-

 Animal sacrifice is present in shakt, tantra, etc traditions and they belong to Vedic literature. In every religion it is present and there is no need to wash one's own hands by claiming that our literature avoids that. From Nepal to various parts of India, animal sacrifice is done. One may say it is for the 'taste' and promoted in the name of religion but rituals are there. And there is no harm in accepting the ground reality. Astaka Shraddha, soutramani yajna, etc are based on animal sacrifice. They are consumed as prasadam in many places. 

The Shakti peethas came into existence before kaliyuga and animal sacrifice was practised in them during their festival. 

Animal sacrifice by hindus of Nepal is quite common and it includes Goat, sheep, buffallo, pigeon, etc. One example is given due to its large number of animal sacrifice which takes place at the Gadhimai Temple in the Bara district of Nepal, about 200 km south of the capital, Kathmandu. They have a festival in every five years where large number of animals are sacrificed. 

Muniyandi Swami temple in Vadakkampatti in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai has a special item (mutton biryani) as its prasad during the Muniyandi festival.

Sacrificing a goat by hindus is quite common in various places. Many do not accept this openly but follow this as their family tradition. 

12. Kanyadan :- 

Unknowingly this is labelled as objectification of females. The word 'object' has several meanings. Like - have mass and volume, perceived by five sense organs, etc. Everyone is an object in one or the other way. No harm in knowing the various dimensions. . There is no need to take this ritual as any separate case of objectification. Unnecessary chaos is created without analyzing the fact. 

Kanyadan' is present in every religion. Style and words differ but the concept of 'giving away' is there. 

 As in the Christian wedding - the person(s) chosen by the bride walks into the church and gives her away at the altar.

The groom normally holds the hand which was in a slightly forwarded position. These days the traditional words may or may not be spoken, depending on the choice of the bride (normally) but symbolically it shows 'giving'. Technical details are kept aside and focus is on the trend of 'giving away'. 

Daan or donating (donation) isn't the right concept when one uses the word kanyadaan in Hinduism. Objectification is used and it is said by armchair activists, net experts, media revolutionaries that females are taken as an object or commodity without seeing other meanings of the word 'object'. 

An object is usually that which includes mass and volume. Second dimension is knowing or perceiving five sense organs. From this angle everyone is an object in one or the other way. It isn't a case of blind support or rejection but seeing the implied meaning. Objectification on the basis of commercial action or personal property isn't our teaching in the name of marriage. In others, the transfer of property rights 'view' is there. 

Though females were also treated as second grade (दोयम दर्जा) in Hinduism but in the case of wedding ceremony that wasn't the vision because bride was taken as RIK and groom as SAMA (the heading of the video). The reason is defined there. One who wants the explanation in English can read yaksha yudhisthira samvad (hard copy).

Continuity of Indus script and civilization (1)

                             Preface 

Documentation of the past events gave rise to a subject in the field of education, history, and today we have the work related with the scripts of various civilisations. A script denotes the language of a particular civilization but the process of communication started much earlier. The material available in the form of script denotes the socio cultural, socio political, socio economical, psychological, philosophical, religious thought process of a society concerned. Writing systems have evolved from simple to more complex forms and the process will follow the journey of humans. Every hypothesis must avoid emotion, personal preference, vested interest and subjective criticism. At least, academically, it must have objective criticism and a vision of broadmindedness. 

While going through the views of various researchers I was surprised to find few similarities between my hypothesis and the views of Professor Peter Revesz of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His overall 

vision of objective criticism / constructive criticism / analysis, where he keeps the doors of possibilities open regarding the evolution of various scripts, languages and IVC. It might be coincidence or analysing at the same frequency. 

On the other hand, the work of RekhaRao, Yajnadevam (Bharath Rao) describes IVS more on the basis of rituals as if there were no other topics and work left for IVC. Yajna Devam is totally dependent on cryptographic deciphering, avoids the Sanskrit alphabets used in vedic Sanskrit, the ancient way of writing, has relied only on modern Sanskrit and Pre- Panini grammar have more or less no place in his work. The sound of the claim about the final result is more prominent in his work. One must remember that the 

Sanskrit is not an exceptional case in the evolution process of a language. 

The tendency of pasting all the modern alphabets of the Sanskrit language on IVS must be analysed properly. Currently, this is written in Devanagari script which is the outcome of the changes took place in the number and the shape of the alphabets. On the other hand, neither every symbol of IVS represents an alphabet nor do they are denote only rituals. 

I was asked to read more books of others, attack their arguments by searching for flaws in them and present my own view as if only arguments are left. Trio of study, reasoning and experience via various mediums is needed and chasing after one or two creates chaos leading to subjective criticism, dogmatic view, etc.  

If there are no authors on a particular topic and /or dimension what will happen? While doing independent research on Charvaka Philosophy, I felt the pain when renowned publishers asked to read their publications on charvaka, as if I am writing a book after reading other books on this topic. Academic publishers are more interested in degrees and positions. Many work as a team where they fulfil their target of publishing books by following a diluted process. There is a rule to update the profile by showing published papers and books. It is more often done by re-writing the old published material and getting it published as a book by another publisher or as a paper in another journal. Like this, the whole team is benefitted. In this scenario it is not essential to read more, discuss their flaws, and so on. Most of them do not keep themself updated, nor ready for healthy discussion and ignore emails. In many cases, the associate editor knows nothing about the subject concerned and gives wrong reviews and examples where he/she does not have their own published work on any topic yet they are enjoying the chair. 

Wirh 90% visual disability, Akshay Chaitanya, an independent researcher of ancient wisdom, presenting the hypothetical view on Indus valley 

civilization and those previous, contemporary, regional sites excavated in India, who showed similarity, 

continuity and chronological development of Bharat. To meet cosmic requirements few things were revealed in the process of analysing. It is a step to become familiar with the roots. 

The purpose of this view is to have healthy discussion on :-

Is there any need for a mother language / script? If yes, why can't it be an earlier version of Sanskrit script? Why is Sanskrit script generally not accepted for research in the case of Indus script? If at all taken for the purpose of research, the alphabets used in the era of vedic Sanskrit are totally avoided and current ones are simply pasted on IVS, as if they emerged in the same time. Why is the individuality of various civilizations and cultural sites highlighted by neglecting the concept of continuity? When it comes to excavation and documentation, few parts of Bharat, including Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar islands are totally ignored? Why subjective criticism and biased approach is prefered more while presenting papers? 

Few more queries will come as we go on reading.

               Acknowledgement 

After visiting the channel and going through the playlist on Indus Valley Script and civilization professor Peter Revesz of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln asked for the English version of the work done. After doing that hearty intellect asked for 

 writing in English. Taking it as a cosmic call work began. Had healthy, meaningful, fruitful discussion with Sachin Dhodi and Chandra Shekhar Singh. Special thanks to Professor BVK Sastry who gave his precious views on this work. 

Hopefully, this will open the door of the much awaited dimension

              Chapter - 1

Sound, symbol, script and language 

The natural process of evolution in every aspect of civilization go on taking place. Same thing happened with the languages. Why at all is there a need for a mother language globally? Scripts and languages can develop individually also. For example, the image of hexagram is seen in every known ancient civilization. And for this physical interaction among the societies of various civilizations can not be the final reason. It can also be given by the cosmos / cosmic administration. Any civilization must not be given the credit of transferring to everyone. When it comes to the concept of mother language, total credit is given to this or that language but more or less no place for sanskrit.

Majority of research proves foreign origin but there also no chance for taking it as a mother language. 

One noticeable problem is aversion towards Sanskrit script / language. 

 Not only outside but within India there are selective and calculative researchers who will prove the link with other Indian languages but not with Sanskrit. They will take pain to prove the link with the script of other civilizations. Like fish, it is known as Meen in few Indian languages. While doing research from a linguistic angle Sanskrit is often ignored. For many it is a modern language. So the question of taking Sanskrit script does not arise in their mind. So if Meen, matsya are used for fish in Sanskrit it will not bother them. Even India is not taken as the origin of Sanskrit. It is a part of a global conspiracy to demoralise and divide the nation. Next step is the versions of arya invasion promoted via education and other mediums for brainwashing. Degrees, scholarships and jobs in the academic world are provided to play the game in a planned way. Both Arya invasion and Sanskrit are also clubbed. In one such theory the word 'migration' is used for Aryans, who came from Russia when the ice age started 12,000 years ago. In this variety there are people who will use Sanskrit verses, stotras hymns in worship but will give the credit of origin to other nations. 

While using AI the policy of ignoring, neglecting sanskrit is easily noticed. Obviously the system developed to decipher or even decode one symbol will be constructed to give the predetermined result. After all, man made machines will behave on the basis of input provided by the human hand. By all means many want to prove that they are outsiders and Sanskrit came with them. That is why IVS & language seems to be mysterious. 

Use of the word Brahmi  

While pondering about the usage of the word Brahmi, analysis based on prescribed parameters of the rishis of vedic age and practising the required sadhana, the conclusion said that it was intentionally used instead of Sanskrit. Sponsored, pampered papers and books were written about the evolution of Brahmi from IVS without rethinking Sanskrit. The discussion goes with every ancient language which had a proven link with the societies of historical and prehistoric periods, heritage, lineage and is still alive. On the one hand, people talk about Sanskrit and its earlier versions but go on using the word ‘Brahmi’. Akshay follows the path of healthy discussion wherever possible and this time this responsibility was again taken by the cosmic administration who provided a link with the Professor BVK Sastry who supported the view of in depth study pointed in this analysis. He said, ‘it needs a History time revision of Languages at Bharath – Landscape time from Valmiki to Vyasa’. A pathetic situation where colonial mindset is still ruling and creating hurdles in the path of deciphering or working for the Sanskrit. Many are compassionate to the cause of ‘Sanskrit’- Knowledge system but still a long, long way to go before the goal is achieved. 

Most remarkable point he raised was, ‘why did Amarakosha list Brahmi as name for Language (Plain)- and use the term Samskrutham- as a term for Grammatical Culturing and processing of given input –-prakruti- needs deeper thinking. Similarly modern Tamil enthusiasts forget the Kurul statement on Connection of Veda- Samskrutham to Tamil. So also the Buddhist teams fail to give due weightage to Vararuchi’s guidance on Sanskrit prerequisites before Ardhamagadhi/ Prakruth needed for Buddhist sacred texts’.

Did Sanskrit also evolve from IVS like Brahmi as said by many? 

On the basis of the images and genesis both are closer to IVS. Alone arguments can not prove anyone's claim and proper contemplation is needed. if they are to be taken as separate scripts in the context of IVS, there is a need of further unbiased analysis. While deciphering personally, Sanskrit script got more votes. Either both of them evolved from the same source or both were same abd later separate names were alloted to promote language politics. 

The Kharosthi script :-

As an ancient alphasyllabary script, 

  Kharoṣṭhī, also known as Gāndhārī script, lacked the complexity of a modern language, written from right to left, had around 35 alphabets and the numbers were dependent on the need. 

Instead of using separate vowels, consonants were represented with diacritics to indicate vowel sounds. Diacritics is a sign mentioned above or below a letter results in different pronunciation of the same letter when unmarked or differently marked and the meaning also differed as seen in the case of (gm - it will be seen in the 2nd chapter). This feature is widely used in the Sanskrit language and Brahmi and Devanagari lacked this one. Though the period of its usage is kept between 4th century BCE - 3rd century CE, this is also linked IVS (example in the 2nd chapter). It was also taken as the script of traders where message was sent by using less alphabets. 

 The tendency of ignoring IVS is also proven here where the link between both the scripts was not at all seen. 

Reasons for opposing Sanskrit. 

1 - Since no seals, tablets, etc were found so Sanskrit came from outside. In fact, the IVS is Sanskrit in symbolic form. 

2 - Proof of Sanskrit is found in (Syria, Turkey, etc) so it originated outside. Idols, sculptures, paintings related with Hinduism had been found in several nations. That will never prove that Hinduism originated outside. 

3 A childish argument is that there are no Sanskrit words in IVS as if words of other languages are directly seen there. Even the difference between script and language is sidelined to oppose sanskrit. Even few right wing thinkers love to talk about Hinduism but will not support Sanskrit and for them it is a language of the elite class. These free thinkers are really free from thinking. A number of people do not know English. For them it belongs to the elite class. Many did not go to college and university. So for them these two are meant for the elite class. 

Communication in oral and pictographic form 

The society of IVS communicated in both, oral language and pictogram form. The oral form included stories, song Luo, prayers, dance and music. 

The pictogram forms were used in several ways. Broadly they can be divided under two heads - national and international use. 

National use - 

1 For preserving the original technique of various ceremonies performed by the society of IVC. 

2 Since the chances of forgetting, diluting, misinterpreting is more in oral (verbal) transfer of the technique they were inscribed in a codified way. 

3 Few cities were mainly meant for production and storage of goods. So few people stayed there and those who were needed for a short time, came and went back. There were 1000+ cities used for several purposes. The new site discovered in Lodrani village near Dholavira, located in Rapar taluka of Kachchh district in Gujarat says that still there is a lot to be discovered. In order to maintain the uniformity, pictogram form was more useful. 

4 The Chalcolithic Age (Copper age) site Ganeshwar (a village in Neem-Ka-Thana Tehsil - a municipal city of Sikar district, Rajasthan) had trade relation with IVC in their later phase. Copper as a raw material and in the form of finished product were supplied. The seals helped in developing the relation. This trade helped in the growth of an ancient site of IVC, 

Kalibangan situated in northern Rajasthan. It became one of the meeting point of copper and bronze age. Another site of IVC, Vanavali in Fatehabad district, Haryana and around 118 km northeast of Kalibangan was one of the site used in the trade route. A bond of relationship developed between the two societies and it is proven by seeing few symbols of copper age in IVS. 

International use - 

1 As a form of trademark, licence, identity required for international trade, informing about the goods available. 

 2 The style of packing goods. 

3 The container contains one or more varieties of goods. 

3 To describe the route and / or location

It also helped in communicating with the people of other civilizations. 

Earlier version of Sanskrit 

When the early humans started communicating only sounds came out from their mouths. Their meanings were dependent on the style of sound, hand gestures and the movements of the body. Different needs gave rise to various patterns of communicating. It is a natural phenomenon seen in the history of human civilization. The pictographic form of IVS came afterwards and before it was the oral language which dominated communication. It was a memorable day for human beings when they started converting sounds into symbols which went through the process of change before emerging as alphabets. It was a time consuming process in human history. Similar looking symbols in ancient civilizations might have developed independently. None can give guarantee about their same meaning. With this there is a need of working language for day to day communication. The symbols will follow the oral language of the area concerned. 

For the purpose of preserving oral form, a pictographic version was available. 

Slowly-slowly the symbols went through a normal process of change and gave rise to an earlier form of Brahmi script. After all, a full script takes time to develop. The developed form of Brahmi script became the source of Pali and Prakrit languages. It also helped in developing Tulu script. The changed symbols were later converted into alphabets. 

A single script is used in writing many languages. Unfortunately when it comes to Sanskrit there is a type of aversion. Why is it so? Roman and Brahmi script is used to write many languages. Even Indian languages are written in Roman script in social media. The journey of script to language meets with dialect. It represents local language limited to one region of a nation. It emerges in the border area connected to another nation, mixing of languages within one nation having multiple languages, impact on topography on speech, etc. When one major version of any language develops it overshadows several local languages and they are taken as dialects as one sees in the case of devanagari (modern Hindi). Before this Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Chattisgarh, Haryanvi, Kannauj, Rajasthani, etc were also taken as languages and still they continue to enjoy the same status in their respective areas. Brahmi script was changed to nagri and later to devanagari. Even the South Indian languages are related with Brahmi script. The Brahmi script is related to the Indus script. Till here there is no problem and the social atmosphere is cool. As soon as the word Sanskrit comes into the picture opposition, rejection, confusion starts in full swing. 

The society of IVC followed both styles, to transfer information and knowledge from one generation to another. The specific word for this was 'shrut' means listening (not hearing) and gave rise to the word Shruti (listening to sacred texts). The seed (dhatu) alphabet श्रु (shru) – श्रृण् (sruN, shreen) means listen in Sanskrit. There was no major change in the formation of the word since both belonged to the same language. In Indian classical music also seven swaras are known as 7 Shruti due to the tradition of listening. In the process of listening the speaker communicates in various styles of pronunciation. In simple words it can be said as communicating in normal voice as used daily with two additional styles - - one lower and another higher than the normal voice. So there are three types of pronunciation in oral language and are used as and when required. As we see while calling a person standing near and far. Additional line(s) is / are or even a new pattern is added to the existence symbol. The difference in pronunciation is shown via the volume of sound. Same style is applied in both external - internal levels. Here, the external is at gross and the internal at a subtle level. 

The Sanskrit script also went through the process of sound - symbol - change in symbols - alphabets. IVS is an earlier (preliminary) version of the Sanskrit script and the society of Indus Valley used that as their oral language. IVC is the continuty of copper age and in the same way Vedic civilization is the continuty of IVC. 

The process of articulating speech depends on both internal - external features and is highly developed in humans than other vertebrates. Internally, lips, teeth, tongus, jaw muscles, hard palate, soft palate, larynx (voice box), vocal chords, nasal cavity are involved in the airflow and produce sounds of various frequencies. Shape and the maintenance of the articulators influences the speech. 

The external features include upbringing, practice, seacon, weather conditions, adaptation, air density, etc. The process of speaking is highly influenced by external features. It is noticed in the dialects and the differences in accent of the same language. Dialects have their own vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and meaning. When any language becomes prominent regional dialects are not considered as independent languages as seen in the case of decanagri (modern Hindi). Hindi is not at all a mother tongue but an official and link language. In the case of mother tongue, previously known as languages and now dialects are still prominent in the homes. Slowly-slowly, the current generation is moving away from them and the forthcoming generations will even forget their linguistic heritage. 

In the case of speech, consonants are pronounced with more constriction in the vocal tract than vowels. Shape and the maintenance of the articulators also influences the speech. 

Though, one script gave rise to many languages but the number of alphabets were neither same nor all of them emerged during the same time. For convenience, examples of the English language will be taken. Since the UK colonised many nations, British English was globally accepted. When IT companies of the US entered the market, spellings of many words were changed to show their own particularity.

Classical Latin had 23 letters and old English adopted them so there were no separate symbols for the sound pointing towards 'J', 'U' and 'W'. The letter 'J' was added to the English alphabet in 1524 due to the effort of Gian Giorgio Trissino. Before this, 'I' was used to denote both 'I' and 'J' with a difference in pronunciation. Same reason is seen with 'U' and 'W'. Standardised letter shape of 'U' took place in the 1600s. Before that 'V' was used for both 'U' and 'V'. There was a period when Z and S were removed and added again. On the other hand, the difference in the pronunciation of UK, Irish, Scottish, American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand English is noticeable, though English is their main language. In many cases, the difference is seen in the spelling also (discussed before). There are versions of English belonging to the nations where it is not their main language. 

Alphabets of many languages have gone through a series of changes and all of them took time to emerge on the surface. Their acceptance, rejection, out of use after some time, use of alternatives, are some of the features related with the languages and Sanskrit is not an exception. When Devanagari came into existence, it got the Sanskrit script and grammar. Even, few basic rules of the Chanda shastra (in Sanskrit) were adopted to prepare a separate book on the Poetic meter of Hindi / Devanagari. Have personally studied this in class nine - ten and practice of reading - writing helped in remembering during this discussion. 

Choice of the symbols in IVS

Every language contains consonants and vowels. One need not be a linguistic to say this and IVS is not an exception. Normally, In every language, alphabets took time to emerge and all of them were not present in the beginning era of a language. 

The emergence of various symbols based on the use and location of the people concerned took place during IVC. The population staying near water bodies will have aquatic animals, birds seen nearby, growth of flora - fauna as the medium of symbols. Whereas, people staying near mountains, deserts, and far from rivers will have different symbols. Though civilizations developed near rivers, they expanded far from them. Obviously all the symbols did not come into existence in one period and place. The same rule applies on the development of the script, language and linguistic complexity. 

Three different types of research 

Most of the research done on IVS and civilization can be divided into three groups. 

1 In this group every paper, book, seminar, webinar and channel supports Arya invasion theory in two (invasion and migration) ways. In the case of migration, handful migrated and mixed with the society of IVC staying in smaller sites which were in the north west and far western side. There must be an independent language of IVC so what was that? How could a handful migratorse influence the whole civilization? How could their script and language was accepted and followed by IVC? There is a link of IVS and the script found in the Chalcolithic age sites of Rajasthan. Why it was not seen and only focused on foreign origin of IVS? This variety of researchers says that invasion / migration was responsible for the decline of IVC. Why do they say things like this in the name of scientific and academic research? Why most of them even do not talk about Sanskrit as a possible language? And not even as a foreign language used in IVC. 

The motive of this group has already been discussed before. 

 2 The second group contains those papers and books which are mainly based on the total impact of Egyptian and Sumerian civilization. In the case of other civilizations everyone talks about their independent growth but not with IVC and IVS. They might not talk on Arya invasion openly but will decipher IVC on the basis of other's script. This attachment will motivate them in saying that the bird symbol in IVC was replaced by fish due to Egyptian script. Interestingly, the fish Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was a symbol of both, rebirth and fertility. A fish 

normally symbolises fertility and here it was especially related with rebirth. And this particular was nicely pasted on the fish symbol of IVC where it is one of the repetitive symbols shown in various styles. Few even took advantage of the concept of rebirth in Hinduism and connected various symbols as 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation of ancestors. Few scholars said that it is a mixture of several scripts. 

3 The third group is dominated by independent researchers. Few have simply described the symbols on the basis of ritualism. Their style of presentation is applaudable. Under the influence of this passion indologists could not work on other possibilities or even meaning of the symbols in an analytical way. In some cases vision of the second category is seen while describing the ritual related to ancestors. 

 Individual symbols can contain various information but that can not be a rule for the same symbol used elsewhere. A fish-like symbol is formed in the centre of the intersecting circle(s). It is a natural output and must not be taken as the final parameter to decipher the 'fish' symbol. In Sanskrit the word 'mandala' is also used to denote circular formation and numerous definitions can be pasted on the basis of ritualism. Two intersecting circles can have many symbolic meanings, depending on their position, direction and context so neither they or any symbol made due to their intersection can not denote one meaning. If only one meaning is promoted it will give rise to unhealthy deciphering. Variation in the pattern and combination in the use of symbol (fish) must not be sidelined and ignored. After all, the fish symbol can also be made by seeing a real fish. This dimension seems to be closer to the concept of this symbol. A copper tool found at the sites of Chalcolithic Age (copper age) in Rajasthan also resembles a fish-like shape. On the other hand different styles of worshipping was practised by the society of IVC and complexity of techniques were not present during that time so while deciphering, an indologist must not take the help of the literature written much later. 

In the case of IVC, the symbol of intersecting two circles is present so they can be interpreted as 'mandala' used in tantra and normal worshipping. 

In this third type, a group of researchers started the use of mathematical model and puzzle. Few of them projected their analysis as the final word. Since model and puzzle are different, they will be seen

separately. 

The mathematical model need reference point(s) / assumptions. We are familiar with the statements - let it be X, let the CP (cost price) be 100, keeping other factors constant, and so on. In day-to-day behaviour, reference points are used more due to their practicability and direct evidence, like explaining the location, direction, pointing towards another object, locating someone in the gathering, etc. They can be taken as direct or circumstantial evidence but assumptions are imaginary in nature, their result / conclusion is theoretical and the possibility of becoming practical depends on the purpose of assumption as seen in the case of calculating cost - sell price, impact on the market, etc. In this, explicit assumptions indicate promoting one's own ideology or belief at any cost, claims, concept of suppressing or brainwashing or vested interest, etc. An implicit assumption is based on personal study, reasoning and experience. Both of them are conditions that must be proven for achieving one's own goal or theory or ideology in the subjects of arts and commerce. In the field of science this dogmatic attitude usually fails. Normally, in the scientific world the conclusion or the paper is presented before the experts of the same topic and it is thoroughly tested. After confirmation the final copy is prepared. This model / analysis is not a reliable and guaranteed source for deciphering IVS. 

The mathematical puzzle, Cryptograms uses symbols, patterns, designs for messaging to restrict unauthorised use. Only a person familiar with this style will be able to decode the meaning. These days, open claims are not only made but a tendency of proving one's own superiority is seen in those who are taking their work as totally correct. By mistake, these people are taking cryptograms as an authentic mathematical model and not a puzzle. 

When a model is influenced by flaws, this puzzle will have more. Some of them are 

human error, quantum computing, complexity, using old or weak cryptographic algorithms, etc. IVS comes in the category of ancient algorithms. A work must be presented as an hypothesis and not as the 'final' word. Few of these are promoted by industrial house owned media and circulated in social media in a planned way. One of my students was surprised to see the number of viewers of a video within two days. Well, these days numbers, likes, comments, and ratings can be easily purchased. General public is highly influenced and supports the content. Promoting a particular hypothesis is practised globally. 

Things which can be easily quantified are placed before the mass and that is why researchers have emphasised on one point / dimension. The confusion, chaos, contradiction due to and within the hypothesis is not at all entertained and all (3rd type of researchers) are eager to prove the presence of Vedic literature in IVS. Total focus is on ritualism as if that is the main topic or through this, attention of the current society can be easily obtained so it becomes a natural and easy point, therefore most of the work talks about that. Fanatic approach did not care about the parts like zodiac signs, constellations, circumpolar constellations, agro products, flora - fauna related with the rituals and their presence in the IVS. As said earlier, IVS included symbols and images on the seals. Both are related with one another. The images, for example, Unicorn seems to be the same, close observation will prove the difference in the image. This issue will be seen separately. 

A new trend is seen among the people working on IVS. They represent an unhealthy mixture of the three types of research in various combinations. 

 Trade and metallurgy like angles are used for deciphering, promoting, publishing, brainwashing the mass and create a chaos among the followers of various interpretations. Though all of them are simply hypothesis but a dogmatic impact is generated towards this or that presentation. They are fanatic towards their own assumption /claim. Half baked knowledge is harmful and here, information is taken as knowledge without study, reasoning and experience via various mediums. They do not feel the need for open, healthy and fruitful discussion. Individually, they have a huge number of followers in social media and they are satisfied with this. It will be intetesting to know some of their views. 

Trade - under this head, the researchers promoted that the seals of IVS are only related with trade and commerce. According to them, preserving and transferring information is only needed in business which is simply a childish argument. They are contradicting their own conclusion by saying, the scoeity was leading a simple, peaceful life without any complications in behaviour which will need a documented record like seal. When the IVC was spread in a vast area, from the current day Afghanistan, Pakistan to North West India till Maharashtra. Their must be other activities as seen by the proof of fire altars, seals showing the image of deity / deities, sky gazing, etc. 

Metallurgy - under this head, the research is focussed, only on metallurgy and neglects the separate existence of crafts, artisan work, animal husbandry. They are bringing other activities in the domain of metallurgy by directly - indirectly saying that every activity was meant for metallurgy. 

Deciphering needs the knowledge of various dimensions of human life. IVS is projecting various levels of thought process whereas, narrowness is currently prominent, promoted, sponsored and broadmindedness is mostly avoided. It might be a natural process where a small / limited approach will gradually lead to a broader aspect. 

A normal query regarding the identity 

 of the academic and non academic 

researchers of all the three groups will arise. The admirers of IVC and IVS

 are already familiar with them. And the list with the reference to their work will increase the burden so it is better to avoid. 

Two methods of inscription 

The script of Indus Valley civilization contains two methods of inscription - symbols and pictures. Few signs are frequently repeated in various sequences. On the other hand there are signs which are used less. An order of use is seen when one sees various signs. The possibility of various meanings of the same sign is there with frequently used signs within the text as one notices with the fish like sign. It is inscribed in various ways. 

While analysing the meaning of the symbols one must see - 

1 Is it reparative or not. 

2 on which object. 

3 the place where the particular object was found. 

4 The place and sequence in the text. Like the U symbol is repeated and normally the position is seen in the last, second last or in the beginning. Probably that particular text was read right to left or started with U for a specific reason. Have personally taken the meaning as 'yes' said in three styles - doubt, subject to (reasoning, analysis and situation) and total affirmation. This symbol's form was changed several times and is related with Sanskrit. There is a video on this in my channel. 

5 Probable individual and collective 

     meaning. The individual meaning will     

    change as and when needed to match with the text. If there is any picture with the text the meaning deciphered must match with that particular inscription of human or animal form. After all, they were part of the communication. 

6 Few independent researchers have worked on the link with Sanskrit by taking the help of ritualistic patterns followed in vedic literature. Their interpretation explains the symbols in one pattern only. It is true that a single symbol might contain a lot of information but that can not be applied everywhere for the same symbol. All the symbols and texts are not related with ceremonies and their technique. 

7 आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः। (Rig veda 1.89.1) Let noble thoughts come to me from all directions.​ This must be kept in the mind while analyzing the relation of IVS and Sanskrit. 

Symbols denote various types of words 

Combined words (brunch = breakfast + lunch, internet = inter + net), compound words (toothbrush, toothpaste, armchair, sofa set) and ligature (fluid, fish, ship, first flower , amœba). Now, uncommon in current English, the use of Ligature can be seen in the languages like French, German, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Cyrillic, Armenian, and Arabic. While going through the Indian languages, most of them are using Ligature in writing and speaking. IVS presents various types of words and must be analyzed properly. Complex symbols point towards compound, combined and Ligature (sanyukta akshar) words. Since the space was less, use of polysemous (use of a word with multiple meanings where they may or may not relate with each other) words was common. This tradition was deeply seeded in IVS. If anyone sees the problem with the use of ‘ligature’ in the case of language can easily take in the types of combined words. 

 One after another the connection with Sanskrit and the factor of continuity is coming on the surface. By seeing the following images any linguist can see the pattern. Even a person having high school education can catch the difference.
