Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 253 Chapter Fifteen BREAKING INTO THE PADMA VYUHA SATYAMEVA JAYATE WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN? Now that we have examined the various aspects of Hinduism and Indian History, Literature, Philology, Archeology, Philosophy and Architecture, we can attempt to break into the Padma Vyuha to find some underlying truths. When the Aryans migrated to India from North West Eurasia they brought with them the Vedic religion. While the story of Vamana and Maha Bali may only be a myth, it expresses exactly what happened in India under the invasion of Aryans. Aryans came in as a small group looking for a place to live - “Just three feet”. Having received it from the very hospitable and gracious Dravidians, they were subjugated through war and through clever religious manipulations of the invaders. They brought with them their Vedic religion steeped in ritualism and polytheism. The thirty three gods of Vedic religion remains only as a name today and were totally displaced with new gods as we enter the period of Christian Era. The major scriptures of the Vedic religion were the Rg, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana. The most ancient of these is the Rg Veda. Even these were created over a period of time extending well into the Years of Our Lord. At least the mandalas 2 and 10 were written in these late dates after the
Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 254 middle of first centuary AD. The Vedas are in Vedic langauge - not in Sanskrit. They were not written down until 2 nd centuary BC for lack of knowledge in wrting. The rationalistic reaction against the ritual religion produced the atheistic religions of Buddhism and Jainism. These then were the major religions when St.Thomas arrived in India – Vedism, Buddhism and Jainism. However there was an abrupt discontinuity from the Vedas into Vedantas sometime during the first Century of Christian Era. The names of the gods, the rituals, worship form, place of worship and its content seems to have changed drastically. This change seems to occur in conjunction with or later than the coming of St.Thomas into India. When St. Thomas came to Kerala, he confronted Vedic Scholars as they were doing vedic rituals of sun worship. Almost all the Puranas were developed as a part of story telling and was never intended as scriptures. Hence they contain a mixing up of poetic imagination and myths and legends. These puranas – as the name implies – were stories transmitted by word or mouth from generations to generation. As a consequence these were modified and changed with generation and geography. The oldest Purana is believed to date back to 300 AD, and the most recent ones to 1300 - 1400 AD. (http://www.gurjari.net/ico/Mystica/html/purana.htm) Sanskrit was developed out of Prakrit and other existing languages during the interval of 100 AD to 150 AD. “The first evidence of classical Sanskrit is found as an inscription dating around A.D.150. Hence the authors of the Sanskrit Scriptures could not have been living before the coming of St.Thomas. From the fifth century A.D. classical Sanskrit is seen to be the dominant language and hence it is safe to assume that these Puranas and scriptures and commentaries were written after the fifth century AD. While Buddhist and Jain architecture are seen in abundance before the Christian era, the earliest Temple, which can be called “Hindu” is from the later second century AD. There was no “Hinduism” before that time.
