Vedic Sanskrit is an old Indo-Aryan language. It is an archaic form of Sanskrit, an early descendant of Proto-Indo-Iranian. It is closely related to Avestan, the oldest preserved Iranian language. Vedic Sanskrit is the oldest attested language of the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European family.

The languages descending from Vedic or sister dialects include Kashmiri, Pahari or Pahari Punjabi, Dogri, Punjabi, Sindhi, Multani, Hariyanwi, Hindustani, Marwari, Dhundharu, Miwati, Haraoti, Mewari, Malwi, Kacchi, Kathiawari, Gujarati, Marathi, Khandeshi, Niwari, Barari, Konkani, Garhwali, Kumayuni, Brajabhasa, Awadhi, Bundeli, Bagheli, Chattisgari, Halwi, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Nagpuri or Sadri or Sadani, Sambalpuri, Oriya, Bengali, Sinhala, Angika, Maethilii, Gorkhali (Nepali) and Assamese.

Vedic Sanskrit is the language of the Vedas, texts compiled over the period of early-to-mid 2nd to mid 1st millennium BCE. Vedic Sanskrit has been orally preserved as a part of the Śrauta tradition of Vedic chanting, predating the advent of alphabetic writing in India by several centuries. For lack of both epigraphic evidence and an unbroken manuscript tradition, Vedic Sanskrit can be considered a reconstructed language. Especially the oldest stage of the language, Rigvedic Sanskrit, the language of the hymns of the Rigveda, is preserved only in a redacted form several centuries younger than the texts' composition, and recovering its original form is a matter of linguistic reconstruction.

From ca. 600 BCE, in the classical period of Iron Age Ancient India, Vedic Sanskrit gave way to Classical Sanskrit as defined by the grammar of .

ARYAN HERITAGE CALLED KAMA SUTRA IS THE OPPOSITE TEACHING TO OCCULT ABRAHAMIC RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE - THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN. "Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all sinned..." Romans 5:12. THIS IS THE ANCIENT OSIRIAN IDEOLOGY OR THE OCCULT DOCTRINE OF ABSOLUTELY ALL ABRAHAMIC (OSIRIAN) RELIGIONS. Have you ever thought why the world needs Messiah? Have you ever thought about why do you need the salvation and from what/whom in particular? Have you ever thought from where THE ORIGINAL SIN IDEOLOGY came from? IN ITS OWN MATRIX THE ORIGINAL SIN FORMULA is pretty occult but very simple to decipher. In order to understand God (and everything IT includes) you need a salvation, to have a salvation you need redemption, to be redeemed and to be saved you definitely need THE SAVIOR. Since mortal human cannot save, the future Savior must be immortal, thus Savior becomes to be a GOD. Savior MUST BE REVEALED, SAVIOR MUST HAVE THE ADVERSARY, since without one SAVIOR WOULD NOT BE A SAVIOR (no reason in salvation), in addition Savior must be revealed by/in GENEALOGY and BLOODLINE. Sounds familiar? Behind the described above HOAX is the SIMPLEST MATHEMATICAL ALGORITHM that is widely used in programming - [...if, then...], where if you agree to at least one [...if,] sub-assembly, you HAVE TO AGREE [then...] TO THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY OF CREATED ALGORITHM. In another words - YOU MUST ACCEPT THE NOTION <b>...</b>

Many English words actually have Sanskrit origins. Similarly, many Vedic religious concepts can also be found in Western culture. He discusses the fundamental idea of the Upanishads - that the essence of each individual, the atman, is identical to the whole universe, the principle of brahman. In this sense, the polytheistic traditions of India can be said to be monistic at their very core.

English Translation by Ramesh Krishnakumar, to the mesmerising chanting rendered by Vedic Priests of India This pre-eminent Vedic hymn to Lord Shiva and Rudra is chanted daily in Shiva temples throughout India. It is in this long prayer, located in the middle of the Yajur Veda, Taittiriya Samhita, that the Saivite mantra Namah Sivayaha appears. There are two parts for the Sri Rudram under the fourth chapter. The fifth Sub chapter is the Namakam and Seventh Sub Chapter is the Chamakam. Namakam - I bow to thee, Chamkam - is within me The Rudram has 11 sections or anuvakas. Each anuvaka has several mantras. The 1st, 10th and 11th anuvakas are PRAYERS to the Lord. The 2nd through 9th anuvakas are GLORIFICATIONS of the Lord. These chants are about His mahima or greatness. Therefore it is also called Shiva Mahimna Stotra. The sounds of this mantra connect you to your inner being. Listening and chanting it with deep understanding will give you the meaning of life, its pain, its bondage and shows the path to liberation through surrender to Lord Shiva and Lord Rudra.... the destruction and regenerative power the key to our evolution Shri Rudram is also known as Sri Rudraprasna, Satarudriya, and Rudradhyaya. Once you have learnt and understood the Sri Rudram in Sanskrit, you will feel a spiritual elevation

NOTE 1: In Slavic Aryan Vedic DWAR (ÐÐÐРЬ) means DOOR and DWARKA (ÐÐÐРÐÐ) means MANY DOORS or by simple transliteration - THE GATEWAY - in all modern languages. DWAR is not Hindu word and it does not have the neuro-lingual container-meaning in Sanskrit unless it explained with Slavic Aryan Runic. The word is in use even today in modern Russian language. HISTORY: Krishna chose a remote location, far beyond the reach of Jarasandh. He picked distant Dwarka on the western coast of India, far from Mathura, and spent a year putting his plans into action. He built on the sunken remains of a previous kingdom, Kushasthali, which itself was built on older ruins, all underwater in antediluvian time, before 12000 BC. Krishna reclaimed a hundred miles of land from the sea and called in Vishwakarman, the architect of the gods to give him a city that was the envy of the world. In Mahabharata's Musal Parva, the Dwarka is mentioned as being gradually swallowed by the ocean. Krishna had forewarned the residents of Dwarka to vacate the city before the sea submerged it. The Sabha Parva gives a detailed account of Krishna's flight from Mathura with his followers to Dwarka to escape continuous attacks of Jarasandh's on Mathura and save the lives of its subjects. Today Dwarka is a coastal town in Jamnagar district of Gujarat. Traditionally, modern Dwaraka is identified with Dvaraka or Dvaravati, mentioned in the Mahabharata as Krishna's city. Dwarka was a port, and some scholars have identified <b>...</b>
