Viking /Pegan Chief Tore Hund and his successful resistance against Christian conversion

When Christians made their theological push into Europe, suppressing native religions and supplanting them with a foreign God, some pagans resisted by secretly practicing their old religion, while others resisted by meeting force with force. One such case of forceful resistance was by Tore Hund or Thorir the Hound, a powerful Viking born around 990 AD, during the first incursions of Christianity into Norway.


Today, many people around the world still resort to violence over religion, more than 1,000 years after Tore Hund killed King Olaf II or Saint Olaf, who reportedly made a deal to impose Christianity on Norway in exchange for the help of other European powers. Tore killed Olaf at the battle of Stiklestad. There, an army of farmers and laborers overwhelmed the king’s army.
To the modern Asatruar (worshipers of the old Norse gods), neo-pagans, and the pagans of his own time, Tore Hund is a hero. Tore is remembered not only for fiercely protecting his religion, but for being a leader of the common people, who bravely stood against the powerful nobility that throughout history has taken so much and given so little.
Paganism is considered a minor religion now in that it has only a few million followers as compared to hundreds of millions of worshipers in the major religions. That said, some writers have alluded to the parallels between Christian and pagan theology. Some say Christianity owes a lot to paganism, though these claims are mired in controversy.
According to the 13th century Heimskringla: The Chronicle of the Kings of Norway by Snorri Sturluson, Olaf went around forcing free people to convert to Christianity with violence and threats. For example, Struluson wrote of Olaf’s rampaging in 1023 in the region of Hordaland:
When the Thing was concluded the bondes [free men, many of whom were farmers and laborers] still remained assembled; and when the king observed this he went on board his ships, rowed in the night right across the water, landed in the country there, and began to plunder and burn. The day after the king's men rowed from one point of land to another, and over all the king ordered the habitations to be set on fire. Now when the bondes who were assembled saw what the king was doing, namely, plundering and burning, and saw the smoke and flame of their houses, they dispersed, and each hastened to his own home to see if he could find those he had left. As soon as there came a dispersion among the crowd, the one slipped away after the other, until the whole multitude was dissolved. Then the king rowed across the lake again, burning also on that side of the country. Now came the bondes to him begging for mercy, and offering to submit to him. He gave every man who came to him peace if he desired it, and restored to him his goods; and nobody refused to adopt Christianity. The king then had the people christened, and took hostages from the bondes.  He ordered churches to be built and consecrated, and placed teachers in them.

Norway’s resistance

Tore Hund is not the only Viking or Norseman to reject Christianity. In the article on Paganism in Barbara G. Walker’s The Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets, it says:
In the 10th century, King Haakon of Norway was fiercely opposed when he tried to institute Christianity. His people rebelled, burned the new Christian churches and forced Haakon to eat the horse-liver sacrifices and drink New Year toasts to Woden, Frey, Bragi and the totemic clan. Some rulers themselves rejected the new faith out of hand. Alcuin announced in the 8th century that there would never be any hope of Christianizing the Danes. Their king was ‘harder than a stone and wilder than any beast,” and would have none of Rome’s God.
People of the Asatru religion honor Tore Hund, Haakon and other Norsemen who resisted the Christianization of Scandinavia.

Christianization of Scandinavia

Scandinavia was Christianized by the 12th century, though the people still practiced some of the old ways and held some of the old beliefs. Many pagan gods, heroes, holy places, festivals and rites were subsumed into Christianity. Walker writes: “Though the old deities were re-defined as devils, nominal Christians continued to believe in them as firmly as they believed in Christ. … The Christian church had no holidays of its own; every feast in the Christian calendar was borrowed from the pagans, including Easter and Christmas.
“It could be said that Christianity and paganism co-exist even now, for the great part of Christian worship, sacraments and theology come from the pagan heritage.”

Christ himself said in His gospels and the Sermon on the Mount like
Matthew 5:44 "But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hurt you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you. 45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just, and on the unjust.
Or
Matthew 6:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

John 15 King James Version (KJV)
15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
And:
Colossians 3 King James Version (KJV)
3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Finally;
Philippians 2 King James Version (KJV)
2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
You claim to be devout follower of Jesus and yet you still say that so called Christians committed the atrocities you want to blame them for. What it comes down to is that by the example of Jesus and Paul's words here, that these so called people weren't obeying what Jesus Himself and His apostle Paul CLEARLY STATED followers of Jesus would do, what actions they should take, to show they are His true followers.
If you are really are a devout follower of Jesus then you would know this already. But as I quoted earlier, you will know them by their fruits. and your article is producing a fruit of division and causing others to hate Jesus. If you still say those that committed all this were still Christians then you are incorrect historically and have some type of agenda other then spreading the gospel of the good news of Jesus to a lost and dying world.
So, why would a supposed devout follower of Christ produce fruit that only would damage who He is among those who don't know him? Well the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Your no devout follower of Jesus, otherwise you would work to produce the good fruit He spoke of and be doing the great commission He commanded His followers to do in Matthew 28 and Mark 16.
How do you reconcile what you have written with the scriptural examples provided of Jesus Himself instructing on how true believers should act. Of course, you can't, but if you still want to claim to be follower of Jesus but don't obey what He commanded then your just like the people in your article you are trying so hard to convince how terrible people who claim to be Christians were.

Durga saptsadi and science of cloning

अनार्य नमाजियों पुराण गप नहीं सत्य हैं और यह बात आज विज्ञानं भी मानती हैं 

क्लोनिंग विषय पर ही यह लेख आधारित है- by Manisha Singh 
आइये पढ़े और विचारे ...सनातन धर्म का कोई जोड़ नहीं है....इसकी हर एक बात में विज्ञानं है....बस हमें मनन चिंतन की आवश्यकता है 

श्री दुर्गा सप्तशती के आठवें अध्याय में देवी दुर्गा रक्तबीज नाम के जिस राक्षस से युद्ध कर रही थीं उसके रक्त की एक-एक बूंद से हर बार नया राक्षस पैदा होने का वर्णन श्लोकों में आता है। उस राक्षस का अंत करने के लिए देवी को अपनी अन्य शक्तियों का आव्हान करना पड़ता है, तब सारी शक्तियां मिलकर रक्तबीज के रक्त की एक- एक बूंद को पृथ्वी पर गिरने से रोकते हुए राक्षस का अंत करती हैं।  
अभी तक आधुनिक युग के शोधकर्ताओं व बुद्धिजीवियों द्वारा श्री दुर्गा सप्तशती में वर्णिकत यह वृत्तांत कल्पना और अतिशयोक्ति का एक उदाहरण माना जाता रहा है। अब जबकि यह साबित होने जा रहा है कि आधुनिक विज्ञान जहां आज पहुंचा है, भारतीय सभ्यता अपने उस उत्कर्ष को पहले ही प्राप्त कर चुकी थी, तब यह भी जानना आश्चर्य में नहीं डालता कि रक्त की मात्र एक ही बूंद से व्यक्ति का Clone बनाया जा सकता है और तो और उसे म्यूटेशंस के जरिए थोड़े ही समय में कई गुना तक किया जा सकता है, विशाल आकार भी दिया जा सकता है। 
हाल ही में मेरठ के छात्र प्रियांक भारती और गरिमा त्यागी द्वारा तैयार एक शोधपत्र को चीन के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय जैव प्रौद्योगिकी सम्मेलन के लिए चुना गया है। और यह शोध अमेरिका की इनोवेटिव जर्नल ऑफ मेडीकल साइंस के आगामी अंक में छपने जा रहा है। प्रियांक भारती और गरिमा त्यागी ने अपने प्रयोग में रक्तबीज को कपोल कल्पना मानने से इंकार करते हुए बताया है कि रक्तबीज कोई चमत्कार नहीं बल्कि अति विकसित विज्ञान का एक उदाहरण था जो सबसे पहला Clone कहा जाता है। 
भारतीय पौराणिक कथानकों की सत्यता सिद्ध करते हुए इन शोध छात्रों ने अपने प्रयोग के माध्यम से  बायोटेक्नोलॉजिकली दावा किया है कि रक्त एवं शुक्राणुओं के बीच 95 प्रतिशत समानता पाई जाती है। ऐसे में रक्त से भी जीवन की उत्पत्तिह संभव है। रक्त और वीर्य के न्यूक्लियस प्रोटीन समान होते हैं। यही प्रोटीन्स डीएनए संजाल के जरिए वंशानुगत गुण-दोषों के साथ बच्चों में स्थानांतरित होते हैं। 
किसी व्यक्ति के उभयलिंगी होने पर यह संभावना और बढ़ जाती है कि वह शुक्राणु और अंडाणु बनाने की समान क्षमता रखता है। रक्तबीज का रक्त जब जमीन पर गिरा तो सफेद रक्त कोशिकाओं का न्यूक्लियस उसी के अंडे से फ्यूज कर नया भ्रूण बनाता रहा। 
नई क्लोनिंग साइंस पद्धति इसी सिद्धांत पर काम करती है। रक्तबीज के रक्त से तैयार भ्रूण को जमीन से कार्बन, नाइट्रोजन, फॉस्फोरस, सल्फर और ऑक्सीजन समेत तमाम पोषक तत्व मिलते रहे। 
जापान में रक्त की एक बूंद से 600 चूहे पैदा करने का कुछ दिनों पहले एक रिकॉर्ड बनाया गया था। 
बायोटेक्नोलॉजी का यह प्रयोग क्लोनिंग में काफी समय ये उपयोग होता रहा है मगर भारतीय शोधकर्ताओं का यह पहला उत्साहजनक प्रयास है जो हमारी ही सभ्यता और विज्ञान से हमें पुन: परिचित करवा रहा है। प्रि,यांक भारती और गरिमा त्यागी का यह प्रयास सनातन (हिंदू) धर्म के उस कथन की पुष्टिप करता है जिसमें धर्म और विज्ञान को एक ही सिक्के के दो पहलू बताया गया है।      
दुर्गा सप्तशती या अन्य पौराणिक उदाहरणों से असहज होने वालों के लिए यह पचा पाना असंभव है कि ऋि्षि दधीचि की वज्र जैसी हड्डिययां हों या उनसे वज्रास्त्र बनाने के लिए उनका त्याग, राक्षसों का आसमान की ओर उड़ना और युद्ध करते हुए जमीन पर आना, रावण के एक मस्तिष्क का दस सिरों की भांति द्रुत गति से काम लेना, पुष्पक विमान, सीता का भूमि से उपजना, एक ही भ्रूण के सौ हिस्से होकर कौरवों के रूप में हमारे सामने आना, बिना शारीरिक संपर्क के ही कुंती के पांच पुत्र और उभयलिंगी व्यक्ति होना या ऋिषियों के शरीर से किसी बच्चे का जन्म या फिर कृष्ण जन्म के समय योगमाया का भ्रूण प्रत्यारोपण जैसी घटनायें सिर्फ कहानियांभर नहीं हैं।

Greater India

THE INDIANIZED STATES OF SOUTH-EAST ASIA by G. Coedes.

India quickly forgot that her culture had spread over vast domains to the east and Southeast Asia, but while Indian scholars learn the history, they call with pride “Greater India”. Before the Indian scholars European scholars called “Farther India”. Ancient name of the mainland Southeast Asia is “Suvarnabhumi” “land of gold” and “Suvarnadwipa” the island nations. The geography of “Further India” consists of Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Yunnan and islands of Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. Kautilya’s Arthashastra talks about this land extensively. The Ramayan, which mentions Java and perhaps Sumatra. A good number of Jataka stories inform maritime adventures from India.
Kshatriyas and Brahmins are frequently mentioned in the epigraphic inscriptions. It is the Kshatriyas who migrated first; followed by priests, traders, artists, sculptors, scientists, astronomers. From waves of migration was born a series of Kingdoms and colonies, in the beginning were true Indian states. In due course of time, through reaction with the indigenous substratum each of these states developed according their own genius, although the family resemblance never lost that they owed to their common origin, that is India. It was neither influence nor exporting Indian religion, it was large-scale export of a civilization in all its forms, a comprehensive mass transfer of Indian culture, religion, art, music, technology, astronomy, mythology, language, and literature. Fairly can be said Indianisation of Southeast Asia. However “Farther India” was not politically dependant on India proper.
The earliest migration took place by land, from Manipur, from northern India enroute Manipur. Overwhelming number of Sanskrit inscriptions and royal tradition and traditional genealogies of royal families testify their origin of Gangetic region. Voyages from Kalinga (Orissa), Andhra are significant. Cholas of Tamil state made their voyages in 10th to 12th century AD. So far a Tamil inscription in Sumatra and two on the Malay Peninsula; none of them dates back to the beginning of Indianisation. No vernacular documents yet discovered except Sanskrit. Most ancient Sanskrit inscriptions of “Farther India” are not much later than the first Sanskrit inscriptions of India itself, testifies antiquity of Indian penetration.
Most of the kingdoms founded in Farther India are the Vaishnavite and Shaivite conception of royalty; the cults in their old form flourished all across their kingdoms; building temples and monuments; writing Sanskrit inscriptions in temples. In later period Buddhism also been exported in its various form. Ankor wat of Cambodia, Prambanan temple and Borbodur are the true master pieces built. Temples of Bagan also need to be reckoned.
Such was the force of the penetration of Indian culture and civilization that its legacy still persist, this legacy includes; Sanskrit element in the vocabulary of the local languages; the Indian origin alphabets still being used; the persistence of certain Brahmanic traditions even after their conversion to Buddhism and Islam; the lunar-solar calendar, certain artistic formulas, adoption of Dharmashastra and Manu-Samhita in their administrative and legal framework. The literary heritage is even more apparent than the religious heritage, the Harivamsa, the Ramayan, the Mahabharat, and the Puranas are the principal sources of inspiration for local literature. The theatrical performances: the position and the movements of their arms and legs and the gestures of the hands constitute a silent language capable of suggesting a subject, evoking and action, or expressing a sentiment, exactly as in Indian choreography. The Buddhist folklore of the Jatakas also makes up the substance of classical theater, of the dance, and of the shadow-plays and Puppet Theater. Ramayan is still remain favorite theatrical play.
Before the arrival of Indian; local population remained in tribal organization; most likely lived in a state of Neolithic age. Finally, enabling the natives to communicate and deal with outside world; enriching intellectual patrimony of humanity. The methods of Indian penetration was not by conquest rather always to have been peaceful, the native peoples of Southeast Asia found in Indian society, transplanted and modified a framework within which their own society could be integrated preserving the essential of their individual cultures. Further India was theatre of revolutionary changes; without India its past would be almost unknown. New Guinea and Australia are not part of history where Indian culture and civilization could not reach.
From fourteenth century Hinduism began to disappear; could not survive except on the island of Bali and among some Cham groups, but not without leaving traces. In Phenom Penh and Bangkok, Brahmans of very mixed blood, Brahmans who follow Buddhism, officiate at all the great ceremonies, similar practices are also seen in Burma. Kshatriyas lost their separate identity probably during this same period; they might have lost racial purity long ago; now they have become ingredient of today’s Southeast Asian.
Chinese annexation of upper Vietnam brought them under oriental influence. Oriental influences were farther deepening by migration of various Tai-Shan tribes of Mongoloid stock from the north.
According to G. Coedes; from earliest times, the population of “Further India” was composed of very diverse racial elements, some of which related to the Negritos, Papuan-Melanesians, others to the Australoids. This fact leads to a clear conclusion: that the earliest inhabitants of Farther India are related to those who inhabit the islands of the pacific today. Aryan element is certainly there but not as apparent as Mongoloid element which is still increasing.
The sources used by G. Coedes are: epigraphy and relatively unadvanced state of Southeast Asian studies. The documents on which the history of Indianised states of Southeast Asia is founded-inscriptions, local chronicles, foreign accounts (Indian, Chinese, Arab, European). However, the work is far from complete, and each year new inscriptions are dug up from the soil of Indianised states.
Some important Sanskrit name of states, cities, places, rivers and mountains of “Farther India”: Bishnupur, Amarapur, Mandala (Mandalay), Arimardanapur (Pagan), Sri-ksetra, Binaka, Sankissapur (Tagaung), Airavat (Irrawadi), Dhannyavati, Vaishali, Ramannadesh, Vyadhapur, Ma Ganga (Mekong), Champa, Chelna, Indrapur, Gandhar, Dvaravati, Ayodhya (Ayuthaya), Shyam, Videharajya, Kausambi, Hariharalaya, Ratnagiri, Mahendraparvat, Lavpuri, Haribhunjaya, Bali, Yavadwipa, Sumatra, Singhapur.
Key notes:
“The route by which Kshatriya princes arrived is indicated in the traditions as being through Manipur,”
“Indian princes spoke Sanskrit may be most reasonably assumed,”
- A. Phayre, Historry of Burma.
"There can be no reasonable doubt that a great Aryan wave of very pure blood passed through Manipur into Burma in pre-historic time"
- Captain E. W. Dun, Gazetteer of Manipur.
“From the Brahmaputra and Manipur to the Tonkin gulf (Vietnam), we can trace a continuous string of petty states ruled by those scions of the Kshatriya race(Aryan), using the Sanskrit or Pali language in official documents and inscriptions, buildings, temples and monuments of old Hindu style and employing Brahmin priests at the propitiatory ceremonies connected with the court, and the state".

Chinese Martial art was originated from India- by Bodhidharma, A Buddhist Prince

Kalari or Kalaripayattu of ancient India is the world’s oldest martial arts. Infact, it is the mother of all martial arts in the world. Ancient buddhist monks who travelled from India to China to spread buddhism are said to have taught these martial arts to the Chinese.
For instance, one of the buddhist monks Bodhi Dharma who founded the Zen buddhism and is called Chan in China was a Kalarippayattu master himself! From his native Kancheepuram in South Indian state of Tamilnadu, he went to China in 522 AD to the court of Chinese emperor Liang Nuti. He taught Kalarippayattu at the Shaolin monastery to the buddhist monks to defend themselves from the frequent attacks by local bandits and dacoits. It has to be noted that all far eastern martial arts are taught by Buddhist monks. In China it is Kung Fu, Karate. In Japan the Samurai warriors are Zen Buddhists.
The Shaolin temple itself was founded by an Indian Dhyana master Buddhabhadra. On one of the walls of the Shaolin temple a fresco can be seen, showing south Indian dark-skinned monks, teaching the light-skinned Chinese the art of bare-handed fighting. On this painting (see image below) are inscribed: Tenjiku Naranokaku which means: the fighting techniques to train the body (which come) from India.
China-India martial arts masters meet at famed Shaolin Temple

ZHENGZHOU, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Martial arts masters from China and India met Sunday at the Shaolin Temple, which is famed as one of the holy sites of Chinese Kungfu, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Twelve Indian masters the traditional Nithya Chaithanya Kalari Indian martial arts training center, which was founded in 1993 by Murugan Gurakal, performed Indian martial arts called Kalaripayattu on the same stage where monks of the Shaolin Temple performed their Kungfu Sunday morning.

"Shaolin Kungfu is the mother of Chinese martial arts and Kalari is mother of Indian martial arts, " said Murugan Gurakal, chief instructor of the Indian Kalari group.

Murugan Gurakal said he hoped his countrymen could learn a lot from Shaolin Kungfu .

Indian masters performed Kalari, or Kalarippayattu in front of the abbot with techniques including long stick fighting, knife fighting, sword, shield and flexible swords on the platform, which attracted many tourists.


Also, Shaolin monks performed many types of Kungfu including Tung Chi Gong, Er-zhi-zen and "Eighteen Weapons."

Shi Yanhao, a monk who performed Tiger Fist, said, "I am happy to see the mysterious Indian martial arts. Their performance was excellent and they were flexible in their body techniques."

प्राचीन भारत के रहस्य जानकर रह जाएंगे आप हैरान

भारतीय इतिहास के ऐसे कई रहस्य अभी उजागर होना बाकी हैं, जो इतिहास में नहीं पढ़ाए जाते या कि जिनके बारे में इतिहास में झूठ लिखा है। दरअसल, भारत के इतिहास को फिर से लिखे जाने की आवश्यकता है, क्योंकि वर्तमान में पाठ्यपुस्तकों में जो इतिहास पढ़ाया जाता है वह या तो अधूरा है या वह सत्य से बहुत दूर है। 


1.भारतीय इतिहास की शुरुआत को सिंधु घाटी की सभ्यता या फिर बौद्धकाल से जोड़कर नहीं देखा जा सकता। कुछ इतिहासकार इसे सिकंदर के भारत आगमन से जोड़कर देखते हैं। आज जिसे हम भारतीय इतिहास का प्राचीनकाल कहते हैं, दरअसल वह मध्यकाल था और जिसे मध्यकाल कहते हैं वह राजपूत काल है। तब प्राचीन भारत के इतिहास को जानना जरूरी है।

यदि हम मेहरगढ़ संस्कृति और सभ्यता की बात करें तो वह लगभग 7000 से 3300 ईसा पूर्व अस्तित्व में थी जबकि सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता 3300 से 1700 ईसा पूर्व अस्तित्व में थी। प्राचीन भारत के इतिहास की शुरुआत 1200 ईसापूर्व से 240 ईसा पूर्व के बीच नहीं हुई थी। यदि हम धार्मिक इतिहास के लाखों वर्ष प्राचीन इतिहास को न भी मानें तो संस्कृत और कई प्राचीन भाषाओं के इतिहास के तथ्यों के अनुसार प्राचीन भारत के इतिहास की शुरुआत लगभग 13 हजार ईसापूर्व हुई थी अर्थात आज से 15 हजार वर्ष पूर्व।

उक्त 15 हजार वर्षों में भारत ने जहां एक और हिमयुग देखा है तो वहीं उसने जलप्रलय को भी झेला है। उस दौर में भारत में इतना उन्नत, विकसित और सभ्य समाज था जैसा कि आज देखने को मिलता है। इसके अलावा ऐसी कई प्राकृतिक आपदाओं का जिक्र और राजाओं की वंशावली का वर्णन है जिससे भारत के प्राचीन इतिहास की झलक मिलती है। आओ हम जानते हैं प्राचीन भारत के ऐसे 10 रहस्य जिस पर अब विज्ञान भी शोध करने लगा है और अब वह भी इसे सच मानता है। 


2. प्रथम जीव और मानव की जन्मस्थली : कुछ विद्वान मानते हैं कि जब अफ्रीका, अमेरिका और ऑस्ट्रेलिया एक थे तब भारत के एक हिस्से मात्र में डायनासोरों का राज था। लेकिन 50 करोड़ वर्ष पूर्व वह युग बीत गया। प्रथम जीव की उत्पत्ति धरती के पेंजिया भूखंड के काल में गोंडवाना भूमि पर हुई थी। गोंडवाना महाद्वीप एक ऐतिहासिक महाद्वीप था। भू-वैज्ञानिकों के अनुसार लगभग 50 करोड़ वर्ष पहले पृथ्वी पर दो महा-महाद्वीप ही थे। उक्त दो महाद्वीपों को वैज्ञानिकों ने दो नाम दिए। एक का नाम था ‘गोंडवाना लैंड’ और दूसरे का नाम ‘लॉरेशिया लैंड’। गोंडवाना लैंड दक्षिण गोलार्ध में था और उसके टूटने से अंटार्कटिका, ऑस्ट्रेलिया, दक्षिणी अमेरिका और अफ्रीका महाद्वीप का निर्माण हुआ। गोंडवाना लैंड के कुछ हिस्से लॉरेशिया के कुछ हिस्सों से जुड़ गए जिनमें अरब प्रायद्वीप और भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप हैं। गोंडवाना लैंड का नाम भारत के गोंडवाना प्रदेश के नाम पर रखा गया है, क्योंकि यहां शुरुआती जीवन के प्रमाण मिले हैं। फिर 13 करोड़ साल पहले जब यह धरती 5 द्वीपों वाली बन गई, तब जीव-जगत का विस्तार हुआ। उसी विस्तार क्रम में आगे चलकर कुछ लाख वर्ष पूर्व मानव की उत्पत्ति हुई।

3.धरती का पहला मानव कौन था?
जीवन का विकास सर्वप्रथम भारतीय दक्षिण प्रायद्वीप में नर्मदा नदी के तट पर हुआ, जो विश्व की सर्वप्रथम नदी है। यहां डायनासोरों के सबसे प्राचीन अंडे एवं जीवाश्म प्राप्त हुए हैं। भारत के सबसे पुरातन आदिवासी गोंडवाना प्रदेश के गोंड संप्रदाय की पुराकथाओं में भी यही तथ्य वर्णित है। गोंडवाना मध्यभारत का ऐतिहासिक क्षेत्र है जिसमें मध्यप्रदेश, छत्तीसगढ़, आंध्रप्रदेश और महाराष्ट्र राज्य के हिस्से शामिल हैं। गोंड नाम की जाति आर्य धर्म की प्राचीन जातियों में से एक है, जो द्रविड़ समूह से आती है। उल्लेखनीय है कि आर्य नाम की कोई जाति नहीं होती थी। जो भी जाति आर्य धर्म का पालन करती थी उसे आर्य कहा जाता था।


पहला मानव : प्राचीन भारत के इतिहास के अनुसार मानव कई बार बना और कई बार फना हो गया। एक मन्वंतर के काल तक मानव सभ्यता जीवित रहती है और फिर वह काल बीत जाने पर संपूर्ण धरती अपनी प्रारंभिक अवस्था में पहुंच जाती है। लेकिन यह तो हुई धर्म की बात इसमें सत्य और तथ्य कितना है?

दुनिया व भारत के सभी ग्रंथ यही मानते हैं कि मानव की उत्पत्ति भारत में हुई थी। हालांकि भारतीय ग्रंथों में मानव की उत्पत्ति के दो सिद्धांत मिलते हैं- पहला मानव को ब्रह्मा ने बनाया था और दूसरा मनुष्य का जन्म क्रमविकास का परिणाम है। प्राचीनकाल में मनुष्य आज के मनुष्य जैसा नहीं था। जलवायु परिवर्तन के चलते उसमें भी बदलाव होते गए।

हालांकि ग्रंथ कहते हैं कि इस मन्वंतर के पहले मानव की उत्पत्ति वितस्ता नदी की शाखा देविका नदी के तट पर हुई थी। यह नदी कश्मीर में है। वेद के अनुसार प्रजापतियों के पुत्रों से ही धरती पर मानव की आबादी हुई। आज धरती पर जितने भी मनुष्य हैं सभी प्रजापतियों की संतानें हैं।

4.संस्कृत भाषा और ब्राह्मी लिपि : संस्कृत विश्व की सबसे प्राचीन भाषा है तथा समस्त भारतीय भाषाओं की जननी है। ‘संस्कृत’ का शाब्दिक अर्थ है ‘परिपूर्ण भाषा’। संस्कृत से पहले दुनिया छोटी-छोटी, टूटी-फूटी बोलियों में बंटी थी जिनका कोई व्याकरण नहीं था और जिनका कोई भाषा कोष भी नहीं था। कुछ बोलियों ने संस्कृत को देखकर खुद को विकसित किया और वे भी एक भाषा बन गईं।


सभी भाषाओं की जननी संस्कृत

ब्राह्मी और देवनागरी लिपि : भाषा को लिपियों में लिखने का प्रचलन भारत में ही शुरू हुआ। भारत से इसे सुमेरियन, बेबीलोनीयन और यूनानी लोगों ने सीखा। प्राचीनकाल में ब्राह्मी और देवनागरी लिपि का प्रचलन था। ब्राह्मी और देवनागरी लिपियों से ही दुनियाभर की अन्य लिपियों का जन्म हुआ। ब्राह्मी लिपि एक प्राचीन लिपि है जिससे कई एशियाई लिपियों का विकास हुआ है। महान सम्राट अशोक ने ब्राह्मी लिपि को धम्मलिपि नाम दिया था। ब्राह्मी लिपि को देवनागरी लिपि से भी प्राचीन माना जाता है। कहा जाता है कि यह प्राचीन सिन्धु-सरस्वती लिपि से निकली लिपि है। हड़प्पा संस्कृति के लोग इस लिपि का इस्तेमाल करते थे, तब संस्कृत भाषा को भी इसी लिपि में लिखा जाता था।

शोधकर्ताओं के अनुसार देवनागरी, बांग्ला लिपि, उड़िया लिपि, गुजराती लिपि, गुरुमुखी, तमिल लिपि, मलयालम लिपि, सिंहल लिपि, कन्नड़ लिपि, तेलुगु लिपि, तिब्बती लिपि, रंजना, प्रचलित नेपाल, भुंजिमोल, कोरियाली, थाई, बर्मेली, लाओ, खमेर, जावानीज, खुदाबादी लिपि, यूनानी लिपि आदि सभी लिपियों की जननी है ब्राह्मी लिपि।

कहते हैं कि चीनी लिपि 5,000 वर्षों से ज्यादा प्राचीन है। मेसोपोटामिया में 4,000 वर्ष पूर्व क्यूनीफॉर्म लिपि प्रचलित थी। इसी तरह भारतीय लिपि ब्राह्मी के बारे में भी कहा जाता है। जैन पौराणिक कथाओं में वर्णन है कि सभ्यता को मानवता तक लाने वाले पहले तीर्थंकर ऋषभदेव की एक बेटी थी जिसका नाम ब्राह्मी था और कहा जाता है कि उसी ने लेखन की खोज की। यही कारण है कि उसे ज्ञान की देवी सरस्वती के साथ जोड़ते हैं। हिन्दू धर्म में सरस्वती को शारदा भी कहा जाता है, जो ब्राह्मी से उद्भूत उस लिपि से संबंधित है, जो करीब 1500 वर्ष से अधिक पुरानी है।

केरल के एर्नाकुलम जिले में कलादी के समीप कोट्टानम थोडू के आसपास के इलाकों से मिली कुछ कलात्मक वस्तुओं पर ब्राह्मी लिपि खुदी हुई पाई गई है, जो नवपाषाणकालीन है। यह खोज इलाके में महापाषाण और नवपाषाण संस्कृति के अस्तित्व पर प्रकाश डालती है। पत्थर से बनी इन वस्तुओं का अध्ययन विश्वविद्यालय अनुदान आयोग के वैज्ञानिक और केरल विश्वविद्यालय के इतिहास विभाग के पुरातत्वविद डॉ. पी. राजेन्द्रन द्वारा किया गया। ये वस्तुएं एर्नाकुलम जिले में मेक्कालादी के अंदेथ अली के संग्रह का हिस्सा हैं। राजेन्द्रन ने बताया कि मैंने कलादी में कोट्टायन के आसपास से अली द्वारा संग्रहीत कलात्मक वस्तुओं के विशाल भंडार का अध्ययन किया। इन वस्तुओं में नवपाषणकालीन और महापाषाणकालीन से संबंधित वस्तुएं भी हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि नवपाषाणकलीन कुल्हाड़ियों का अध्ययन करने के बाद पाया गया कि ऐसी 18 कुल्हाड़ियों में से 3 पर गुदी हुई लिपि ब्राह्मी लिपि है। 

5. अनिरुद्ध जोशी ‘शतायु’|
दुनिया की सबसे प्राचीन सभ्यता सिंधु-सरस्वती : प्राचीन दुनिया में कुछ नदियां प्रमुख नदियां थीं जिनमें एक ओर सिंधु-सरस्वती और गंगा और नर्मदा थीं, तो दूसरी ओर दजला-फरात और नील नदियां थीं। दुनिया की प्रारंभिक मानव आबादी इन नदियों के पास ही बसी थीं जिसमें सिंधु और सरस्वती नदी के किनारे बसी सभ्यता सबसे समृद्ध, सभ्य और बुद्धिमान थी। इसके कई प्रमाण मौजूद हैं। दुनिया का पहला धार्मिक ग्रंथ सरस्वती नदी के किनारे बैठकर ही लिखा गया था।

क्या सचमुच भारत में बहती थी सरस्वती नदी?

सिन्धु-सरस्वती घाटी की सभ्यता का रहस्य जानिए…

एक और जहां दजला और फरात नदी के किनारे मोसोपोटामिया, सुमेरियन, असीरिया और बेबीलोन सभ्यता का विकास हुआ तो दूसरी ओर मिस्र की सभ्यता का विकास 3400 ईसा पूर्व नील नदी के किनारे हुआ। इसी तरह भारत में एक ओर सिंधु और सरस्वती नदी के किनारे सिंधु, हड़प्पा, मोहनजोदड़ो आदि सभ्यताओं का विकास हुआ तो दूसरी ओर गंगा और नर्मदा के किनारे प्राचीन भारत का समाज निर्मित हुआ। 

प्राप्त शोधानुसार सिंधु और सरस्वती नदी के बीच जो सभ्यता बसी थी वह दुनिया की सबसे प्राचीन और समृद्ध सभ्यता थी। यह वर्तमान में अफगानिस्तान से भारत तक फैली थी। प्राचीनकाल में जितनी विशाल नदी सिंधु थी उससे कई ज्यादा विशाल नदी सरस्वती थी। 

शोधानुसार यह सभ्यता लगभग 9,000 ईसा पूर्व अस्तित्व में आई थी और 3,000 ईसापूर्व उसने स्वर्ण युग देखा और लगभग 1800 ईसा पूर्व आते-आते यह लुप्त हो गया। कहा जाता है कि 1,800 ईसा पूर्व के आसपास किसी भयानक प्राकृतिक आपदा के कारण एक और जहां सरस्वती नदी लुप्त हो गई वहीं दूसरी ओर इस क्षेत्र के लोगों ने पश्चिम की ओर पलायन कर दिया। पुरात्ववेत्ता मेसोपोटामिया (5000- 300 ईसापूर्व) को सबसे प्राचीन बताते हैं, लेकिन अभी सरस्वती सभ्यता पर शोध किए जाने की आवश्यकता है।

6. धर्म आधारित व्यवस्था : सैकड़ों हजार वर्ष पूर्व लोग कबीले, समुदाय, घुमंतू वनवासी आदि में रहकर जीवन-यापन करते थे और उनकी भिन्न-भिन्न विचारधाराएं थीं। उनके पास कोई स्पष्ट न तो शासन व्यवस्था थी और न ही कोई सामाजिक व्यवस्था। परिवार, संस्कार और धर्म की समझ तो बिलकुल नहीं थी। ऐसे में भारतीय हिमालयीन क्षेत्र में कुछ मुट्ठीभर लोग थे, जो इस संबंध में सोचते थे। उन्होंने ही वेद को सुना और उसे मानव समाज को सुनाया। जब कई मानव समूह 5,000 साल पहले ही घुमंतू वनवासी या जंगलवासी थे, भारतीय सिंधु घाटी में हड़प्पा संस्कृति की स्थापना हो चुकी थी। उल्लेखनीय है कि प्राचीनकाल से ही भारतीय समाज कबीले में नहीं रहा। वह एक वृहत्तर और विशेष समुदाय में ही रहा।

धर्म और सभ्यता का आविष्कारक देश भारत : दुनियाभर की प्राचीन सभ्यताओं से हिन्दू धर्म का क्या कनेक्शन था? या कि संपूर्ण धरती पर हिन्दू वैदिक धर्म ने ही लोगों को सभ्य बनाने के लिए अलग-अलग क्षेत्रों में धार्मिक विचारधारा की नए-नए रूप में स्थापना की थी? आज दुनियाभर की धार्मिक संस्कृति और समाज में हिन्दू धर्म की झलक देखी जा सकती है चाहे वह यहूदी धर्म हो, पारसी धर्म हो या ईसाई-इस्लाम धर्म हो।

विश्व की प्राचीन सभ्यताएं और हिन्दू धर्म, जानिए रहस्य…

ईसा से 2300-2150 वर्ष पूर्व सुमेरिया, 2000-400 वर्ष पूर्व बेबिलोनिया, 2000-250 ईसा पूर्व ईरान, 2000-150 ईसा पूर्व मिस्र (इजिप्ट), 1450-500 ईसा पूर्व असीरिया, 1450-150 ईसा पूर्व ग्रीस (यूनान), 800-500 ईसा पूर्व रोम की सभ्यताएं विद्यमान थीं। उक्त सभी से पूर्व महाभारत का युद्ध लड़ा गया था इसका मतलब कि 3500 ईसा पूर्व भारत में एक पूर्ण विकसित सभ्यता थी।

भारत का ‘धर्म’ दुनियाभर में अलग-अलग नामों से प्रचलित था। अरब और अफ्रीका में जहां सामी, सबाईन, मुशरिक, यजीदी, अश्शूर, तुर्क, हित्ती, कुर्द, पैगन आदि इस धर्म के मानने वाले समाज थे तो रोम, रूस, चीन व यूनान के प्राचीन समाज के लोग सभी किसी न किसी रूप में हिन्दू धर्म का पालन करते थे। ईसाई और बाद में इस्लाम के उत्थान काल में ये सभी समाज हाशिए पर धकेल दिए गए।

‘मैक्सिको’ शब्द संस्कृत के ‘मक्षिका’ शब्द से आता है और मैक्सिको में ऐसे हजारों प्रमाण मिलते हैं जिनसे यह सिद्ध होता है। जीसस क्राइस्ट्स से बहुत पहले वहां पर हिन्दू धर्म प्रचलित था- कोलंबस तो बहुत बाद में आया। सच तो यह है कि अमेरिका, विशेषकर दक्षिण-अमेरिका एक ऐसे महाद्वीप का हिस्सा था जिसमें अफ्रीका भी सम्मिलित था। भारत ठीक मध्य में था।

अफ्रीका में 6,000 वर्ष पुराना एक शिव मंदिर पाया गया और चीन, इंडोनेशिया, मलेशिया, लाओस, जापान में हजारों वर्ष पुरानी विष्णु, राम और हनुमान की प्रतिमाएं मिलना इस बात के सबूत हैं कि हिन्दू धर्म संपूर्ण धरती पर था।

भारत में रहते थे एलियंस : प्राचीन अंतरिक्ष विज्ञान के संबंध में खोज करने वाले एरिक वॉन डेनिकन तो यही मानते हैं कि भारत में ऐसी कई जगहें हैं, जहां एलियंस रहते थे जिन्हें वे आकाश के देवता कहते हैं।

7. भारत में ‘एलियंस’ के उतरने के सात स्थान, जानिए

हाल ही में भारत के एक खोजी दल ने कुछ गुफाओं में ऐसे भित्तिचित्र देखे हैं, जो कई हजार वर्ष पुराने हैं। प्रागैतिहासिक शैलचित्रों के शोध में जुटी एक संस्था ने रायसेन के करीब 70 किलोमीटर दूर घने जंगलों के शैलचित्रों के आधार पर अनुमान जताया है कि प्रदेश के इस हिस्से में दूसरे ग्रहों के प्राणी ‘एलियन’ आए होंगे।
प्राचीन अस्त्र-शस्त्रों के बारे में विस्तार से जानने के लिए आगे क्लिक करें… कैसे थे प्राचीन अस्त्र-शस्त्र और कौन से, जानिए…

उदाहरण के तौर पर एरिक वॉन अपनी बेस्ट सेलर पुस्तक ‘चैरियट्स ऑफ गॉड्स’ में लिखते हैं, ‘लगभग 5,000 वर्ष पुरानी महाभारत के तत्कालीन कालखंड में कोई योद्धा किसी ऐसे अस्त्र के बारे में कैसे जानता था जिसे चलाने से 12 साल तक उस धरती पर सूखा पड़ जाता, ऐसा कोई अस्त्र जो इतना शक्तिशाली हो कि वह माताओं के गर्भ में पलने वाले शिशु को भी मार सके? इसका अर्थ है कि ऐसा कुछ न कुछ तो था जिसका ज्ञान आगे नहीं बढ़ाया गया अथवा लिपिबद्ध नहीं हुआ और गुम हो गया।’

प्राचीन भारतीय खेलों की दुनिया में धूम : प्राचीन भारत बहुत ही समृद्ध और सभ्य देश था, जहां हर तरह के अत्याधुनिक हथियार थे, तो वहीं मानव के मनोरंजन के भरपूर साधन भी थे। एक ओर जहां शतरंज का आविष्कार भारत में हुआ वहीं फुटबॉल खेल का जन्म भी भारत में ही हुआ है। भगवान कृष्ण की गेंद यमुना में चली जाने का किस्सा बहुत चर्चित है तो दूसरी ओर भगवान राम के पतंग उड़ाने का उल्लेख भी मिलता है।

8. Footballकहने का तात्पर्य यह कि ऐसा कोई-सा खेल या मनोरंजन का साधन नहीं है जिसका आविष्कार भारत में न हुआ हो। भारत में प्राचीनकाल से ही ज्ञान को अत्यधिक महत्व दिया गया है। कला, विज्ञान, गणित और ऐसे अनगिनत क्षेत्र हैं जिनमें भारतीय योगदान है।
