The Time Line of Indiaâs Vedic Civilization
as Presented by the Tradition
by Stephen Knapp
Sri Nandanandana das: The Vedic culture of India has its own history, the tradition of which takes it back to the beginning of time. This book is not a typical review of the history of India, but explains what the pre-historic traditional Vedic background is, its basis, and how it developed and expanded through time.
We also look at a number of artifacts that prove the ancient existence of some of the most important aspects of the Vedic customs, and how the tradition itself describes its developments. This book also helps show that the spiritual philosophy of Vedic culture seeded many of the other civilizations in their beliefs that evolved in various regions of the world.
Some of the topics we view include:
* Descriptions in the Vedic texts on the way the world was created.
* The prehistoric date of Vedic beginnings.
* How the Vedic knowledge was given to humanity.
* The way the Vedic texts came from an ancient oral tradition
and then was compiled by the sage Vyasadeva, and then disseminated to society.
* The antiquity of Vedic culture and the Indus Valley
civilization.
* The times of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, and proof of
Krishnaâs existence.
* The real time line of Lord Buddha.
* The first recorded migrations out of ancient India of tribes
that formed other civilizations.
* Astronomical dating of the Vedas and events recorded in the
Mahabharata, and more.
