Vedic Footprints - the World over - Part One

About 10000 years ago, forced by the impending flood, the Vedic People (the Aryans) migrated south from their Arctic Home. Many Vedic Verses describe the sun's position in the Arctic sky and the day and the night's duration in the Vedic Aryan Home. We should no more say that the Aryans originated in Western Asia. This fact was pointed out by the Indian scholar cum politician BalgangadharTilak. India was under foreign domination in those days and therefore his voice did not reach the ears of the Western scholars. Linguists on the other hand identified Western Asia as the Aryans' original home, ignoring the references made in the Vedas. The story of the flood is narrated in the Vedic Mythology (Matsyabatara of Lord Vishnu) which was copied by all latter mythologies. Matsyabatara means Vedic God Vishnu's manifestation as a fish (a gigantic boat built to look like a whale) to save the humanity and other life forms. Noah's episode in Abrahamic religions is one of the examples of other religions narrating the same story. Coming down from the top of the globe, they crossed the Arctic Circle all around. They spread over all the continents of the globe. In the course of migration they lived and interacted with the local people of the countries they passed through. The migration took a prolonged period of time. The time they halted at different stages at different places was sufficient to leave their marks on the Language, the Religion and the Cultures of the people of Europe and Asia. With passage of time, the marks were diluted by additions, reformations and distortions. But still the synonyms and the cognates of Sanskrit words are visible in their vocabularies. In the present part of the book, vocabularies of the Northern and North Western European languages are compared with Sanskrit vocabularies. This will continue to be discussed in the future parts too for languages of other European and Asian countries The Linguists projected a possible theoretical mother language of the many Sanskrit dialects spoken in different pockets of Europe and Asia and called the same as "Proto-Indo-European-Language". They would have possibly given the position to the Sanskrit language had they noted that Sanskrit was not born in India but the language was spoken much earlier all over the European and Asian continents and were only compiled into Sanskrit ('Samskrita' in Vedic vocabulary) when the migrants reached India. 'Samsktita' means compiled/reformed. One of the streams of the migration reached India after centuries where they came to be known as the Hindus because at first they settled around the River Sind and the Iranians pronounced Sind as Hind. Iran was the last stoppage in the path of Vedic migration where the Vedic people lived with the Iranians till they parted when one group introduced their own religion, the Zoroastrian religion. They both migrated from the Arctic region and share many mythological beliefs and vocabularies. After settling down in India the Vedic people exported their language, their religion and their cultures also through propagation and monarchical expansion in South East Asia and the Pacific Region. The part one of the book describes the influence of their language across European and the Asian countries. Other aspects mentioned above will be discussed in the future parts.
