The Reign Of The Vedic Gods

Home to one of the ancient civilizations of the world, India is also the birthplace of a dizzying array of gods worshipped by millions of Hindus living in India and across the globe. Over the centuries many of these gods rose to power and became the object of utmost devotion, only to fall from grace and lose their standing. These deities shared a peculiar trait: they were never perfect. In this multivolume series entitled, The Galaxy of Hindu Gods, Sach takes you on an extended journey to meet with the gods and share their tales with you. Among the multitude of deities, the most ancient are the Vedic gods, which include luminaries like Indra, Surya, Varuna, Agni, and others. Today a minor deity, the Vedic Indra was once the ruler of the three worlds who, under the influence of a mysterious power drink, fought with the demons and vanquished them. His reign did not last long. His comrades Surya and Varuna also had their glory days but were overthrown by other gods of the pantheon. Yet, after thousands of years, gods like Indra, Surya, and Varuna are still household names and honored in Hindu rituals and traditions. If you know little or nothing about Hindu mythology, this is your ideal starting point where you will meet the overwhelming array of Hindu gods and learn about their wonderful stories.

Religion is the opium of the people, said Karl Marx many centuries ago. For more than a billion people living in India and abroad, Hinduism is the religion and a way of life. In this multi-award winning book, Swami Achuthananda cracks open the opium poppy pods, analyzes the causes for euphoria, and comes away with a deeper understanding of the people and their religion. *** Winner 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (Religious Non-fiction) *** This is a comprehensive book on Hinduism. It tells you why Hindus do the things they do - and don't. Written in a casual style, the book guides you through the fundamentals of the religion. It then goes further and debunks a number of long-standing myths, some of them coming from the academia (of all places). While most books shy away from contentious issues, this book plunges headlong by taking on controversies, like the Aryan Invasion Theory, idol worship, RISA scholarship and many more. In fact one-third of the book is just on controversies that you rarely find in any other literature.

For the first time, this book revealed, rubbing off the mythological muds, and established that the Gods and Goddesses of Vedic Hindu Religion included 12 Living Human beings of Mesopotamia of 15th Century BC, who were deified by writing Hymns in their names by the contemporary High-Priest Clans from Mesopotamia, under the dictation of the Great War-Lord Indra, who successfully invaded, conquered and established four major Indo-Aryan Dynasty along with his own empire during 1432 BC to 1390 BC, deified himself as the King of all Gods, and also deified his war-strategist, Technocrat and Medico-Surgeon Hittite Royal Twins by a God-name Nasatya, deified his young age patron Rishi Rudra of Canaan [ as God of Storms, Chief Priest of the Angira Rishi Clans of Kassites, his life-long career-associate Rishi Vrihaspati as Chief God of the Vedic Gods' Pantheon, deified his Cavalry Chiefs with common God-Name Marutas, coping the name of Kassite War-God Marruttwas, including his childhood friend Lord Vishnu, Mother Aditi, weapon-maker Tvasta, just expired Indo-Aryan pride, emperor of Babylon, Burna-Buriash by the word Varuna, King Barattarna of Mitanni Kingdom by the word Mitra [ alternative word for a Sun-God], his three illicit sons by a common God-Name 'Ribhus', and their mother, Indra's Consort Saranyu, and allowed to induct traditional Gods of Natural phenomena like Fire, Air, Sun, Water, Rain, Dawn, River, Dyous and Prithvi, all together 33 gods, compiling Hymns on them in the world's oldest Book of Religion called Rig-Veda, having 1028 Hymns, of which 71% of Hymns were awarded to 8 human Gods like Indra, Nasatya, Marutas, Varuna and Mitra. Lord Indra the conqueror India was honored by 250Hymns, Agni, the fire-God was praised in Rig-Veda by 2nd highest number of 209 Hymns, as fire's contribution to burn the Cities and Settlements of the Black-Indians and thus getting their left out wealth and vacant lands], Hard-Drink Soma Juice was highly praised with 123 Hymns in exclusive 9th Mandal in addition to Hymns in all other Mandalas, as it could only give Indra and his Cavalry Soldiers the 10-time extra energies for insane destruction, cruelest killings, plundering [not otherwise possible, all victories in all 150 wars], and the most resulting giving time of attack being dawn-time before rise of the Sun, and so, the Usha-devi [Goddess of Dwan] was offered more hymns that God Vishnu, Rudra, Brihaspati, Varuna, Mitra etc. So, the deification crave to the invaders, destroyers, plunderers, killers of the local Indians, colonizer of conquered land, got 91% of the total God-making Hymns of 846, living aside other hymns on non-god subjects. This gives a factual idea that the Holy Book of "Rig-Veda" was composed as a book of cheering and praising poems of "Physical Imperialism & Mass-Killings", and this created a new Religion to worship the Human Gods, that succeeded to provide permanent settlement, political and military hold, religious and socio-economic dictatorship of the Indo-Aryan invaders and settlers for perpetuity, and imposing a religion for the 'enslaved population' to worship their devastating killers. But such a sadistic joke, such a impossible scheme, could still made to work, as all religions spread very fast by the sponsorship of political and military powers only. Rig-Deva created the " Vedic Hindu Religion" in India, and the Hinduism is still surviving as the 3rd biggest religion of the mankind.And the bare fact also is that out of 33 gods, 30 were imported from various regions of Mesopotamia, retaining their original name and domains, and all gods did have their equivalent counterparts spread over the vast land of Ancient Mesopotamia.
