With this blogg I would like to come in contact with the readers of my books:
The Rise of Aryan Power, Rigveda Mandal 1 and
The Indus Valley Civilization Rigveda Mandal 2
(www.swedix.org)
and I would try to answer querries if possible. It is possible to read a few pages of the first Mandal on line in Google Books. The books can be borrowed from the libraries in Sweden. If you are living in India, you may inquire (Mr. H.L. Saxena) about the books by writing to him at the address: hlsaxena@hotmail.com
In my translations, I never had any presumption. The Bhasa or Vedic Sanskrit is very scientific language. There is root for every word and there are fixed rules as how to create words related to the meaning of the root. If the meaning of a word given in a dictionary is not related to the meaning of the root, that meaning should be discarded in translating the Rigveda. It is unfortunate that many translators have used different meanings for the same word in different places. In my opinion it is absolutely wrong.
The meanings of all words in the Rigveda can not be found in the dictionaries. Many such words are in use in the dialects brijbhasa and Avadhi. It should be noted that the Rigveda was written by the Indians (the Rishis) who lived earlier near Delhi but moved to Dvip (the region between the rivers Ganga and Jamuna). Many words found in the Rigveda have disappeared from the Indian languages but are in use in some European languages.
For translating the Rigveda, it is not sufficient for a translator to have good knowledge only in Sanskrit but also in several other fields of knowledge e.g. Astronomy,Physics, Chemistry, Biology , medical science, technology etc. Ealier work on the Rigveda has been done mostly by the priests and missionaries and it is no wonder that their work has been difficult to grasp.

Dr. Nigam,
You seem to suggest that there was an Aryan invasion, when the theory is being argued against by some indologists, both Indian and foriegn. The texts that have recorded most of the happenings, or maybe all, of ancient India, to wouldn't be untrue to say that the Aryan invasion also found place in the records. To this day there are only conjectures being made as to the original homeland of these migrators. Can you please tell me where in the Vedas or the Puranas the Aryan invasion is mentioned. I greatly appreciate your response.

Dear Esther
I have never mentioned any Aryan invasion in my books. My translation of the Rigveda has revealed that Agni deva who pledged to throw off the Asur rule from India, entered into a treaty with Indra the leader of Kausik Aryans. He brought Indra to India together with his Marut soldiers to help him in his freedom struggle. After the war, his fellow aryans were allowed to come to India and Agni deva helped them settle in different parts of India. Indra felt mightier when his fellow aryans settled down in India and he dethroned the Deva king Surya deva and became Devaraj, the sovereign ruler of India.He replaced Devas in his government with the Danvas (Greeks)and sent devas into nexile with no means of livelihod who died out and thus he led the the great knowledge and knowledgable of India(the Indus Civilization) to extinction.
Dr. Nigam,
I am interested in understanding your views on how does this explaination dtie in with the archaelogical evidence such as horse problem, the fire altars in tbe early harappan sites and the lack of warfare evidence ( unless the devas peacefully ceeded their territory to the asuras and then the aryans). Thanks, shalaka kamat

Dear kamat
Strange drawings as the basis of discussion cannot be accepted.
Rigveda tells you about horses and flying machines of 1500 B.C. All I have written is based on what is described in the songs of Rigveda.
In Anatolia, a treatise in Vedic Bhasa for training horses for war has been found which is 5000 years old. Rigveda tells that the devas (highly learned people) could breed a horse which could run faster.
There was no God in India until Yajurveda time(1000 B.C.)and was invented by Brahmins to keep control over the common people and supply stupid explanation about Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu's work. The altar was the fire place to keep the customers warm who came to Rishis for meals.
The Asuras had occupied our country and had annexed territory larger than Pakistan. The seat of Asur viceroy was in present Rishikesh. Agnideva had made an agreement with the displaced Cossack (Kaushik) leader Indra to help devas oust the Asuras. In the battle of Rishikesh 1400 B.C. the Devas defeated Asuras and India became free only for a few years when Indra staged a military coup and took over the rule. Aryan means migrant. Indras people cossacks were the aryans in India in 140o B.C.
I hope this will satisfy your querry.
