Shiva Lingas in Cambodia

Thousands of Lingas and other Vedic deities carved into the river-bed of the Kbal Spean river in Cambodia.
कम्बोडिया की क्बाल स्पिएन नदी के तल में प्राचीन काल में उकेरे गये सैकड़ों शिवलिङ्ग तथा वैदिक देवी-देवताओं की प्रतिमायें॥

The “Indianizers” of Kambuja Desha (modern day Cambodia). Thousands of years ago these men were among the intrepid pioneers who took India’s culture to far away lands. We need to remember their names and be inspired by the great work they did, so that we can reawaken this spirit in our younger generation. These were the great souls who inspired the Vedic culture in ancient Cambodia, which eventually led to the construction of the largest Hindu temple complex in the world: The Angkor Vat temple which was dedicated to Lord Vishnu. This is also the largest religious structure in the world. Remnants of a glorious Hindu past, such as great temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and river-beds in which thousands of Shiva Lingas have been carved, are found all around Cambodia even today.
ये कुछ उन श्रेष्ठ भारतीय महामना धर्मप्रचारकों के नाम की सूची है, जिन्हें शायद हम आज भारत में भूल चुके हैं, लेकिन जिन्होंने प्राचीन काल में सैकड़ों मील दूर की यात्रा करके कम्बुज देश (आधुनिक कम्बोडिया) में वैदिक सनातन धर्म की स्थापना की थी, जिसके परिणाम स्वरूप आज भी हमें कम्बोडिया में जो वैदिक सनातन धर्म से जुड़े ध्वंसावशेष उपलब्ध होते हैं,वे वास्तव में आश्चर्य जनक हैं। कम्बोडिया का ९०० वर्ष प्राचीन विष्णु मन्दिर ‘अंकोर वट’ विश्व का सबसे विशाल हिन्दू मन्दिर ही नहीं, विश्व का सबसे विशाल धार्मिक स्थान है; अन्य कोई भी धर्म इससे विशाल धर्मस्थान न बना पाया। इसके साथ ही भगवान् सदा शिव आदि भारतीय विभिन्न देवी-देवताओं को समर्पित अनेकों विशाल मन्दिरों के ध्वंसावशेष आज भी कम्बोडिया में खड़े हैं। सबसे आश्चर्यजनक मुझे लगी क्बाल स्पिएन नदी, जिसके तल में पत्थरों पर हजारों शिवलिङ्ग तथा अन्य देवी-देवताओं की मूर्तियां प्राचीन काल में उकेरी गयी थीं। एक बार ध्यान दें इन महामना मनीषियों के नामों की ओर, शायद इनका शुभ संस्मरण ही हमारे अन्दर उस सोई हुई वैदिक आत्मा को जागृत कर दे, जिसके कारण ये मनीषी सैकड़ों मीलों की यात्रा करके इस वैदिक ज्योति के महान् ज्योतिवाहक बने॥

8.4 MILLIONS OF SPECIES IN EARTH – PADMA PURANA

 

Hindus Knew about total number of Species before 7000+BC.

Nameste _/\_ this is another proof that Ancient Hindus/Indian was the First ever Technologically Advanced Civilization in the world .They had a knowledge about every thing.

From planets not only about solar system but about the universe, milkyway, black hole, atoms, Sun’s energy classification, Vibration, positive and negetive energy etc One must have most advanced scientific equipments to even acknowledge their existence.

It took many years for mankind to invent fire and it took many 10000s of years to invent wheel and so on.

If Ancient Hindus can calculate total number species on earth what kind of research and advanced scientific equipments and technically advanced system they must have had ? Even Hindus calculated the number of species from which Human Body evolved,

THIS IS MIND BOGGLING even to think. What is the age of Hinduism even with the same logic of modern Historians ?.

Modern Christianity based Science wont agree what i said above . SO let me provide some info about my claim. Remember if a veda was written 5000 bc ago the knowledge in that vedas are even older than the writter itself.

These are the knowledge passed on to many generations. Modern day biologists have claimed to list around 1.3 million species of life on earth.

They agree that this is a small number and still many species are yet to be discovered, named and listed.

Everyday, about 15000 new species are being discovered and they estimate that earth may be habitating between 8 to 8.7 million species with life.

Padama Purana (written around 5000 years ago in Ancient India by Veda Vyas) states that Earth has 8.4 million different species with life.

But this number could be reduced today as many species have become extinct and population among other species (mostly humans) have increased.

Just as Bhagavadgita says (in chapter 2.22) that just as one gives up an old shirt to put on a new one, the soul gives up an old body to acquire a new kind of a body (vasāmsi jirnāni yathā vihāya).
All the shapes, sizes of these species (including humans) will be decided by Manu (the one who rules creation for a certain time period).

In present Sweta Varaha Kalpa, 7th is Vaivasvat Manu, who designed our body structures. In another manvantara, humans and animals may look different.

A soul can take birth in any form of life out of the 8.4 million and many might have attained human form, which is stated as the ultimate one on earth.

Classification of Species on Earth Padama Purana also mentions about different classifications among these 8.4 million species with life on earth :

jalaja nava lakshani, sthavara laksha-vimshati, krimayo rudra-sankhyakah, pakshinam dasha-lakshanam, trinshal-lakshani pashavah, chatur lakshani manavah Jalaja (Water based) – 0.9 million

Sthaavara (immobile, like plants & trees) – 2.0 million

Krimaayo (Reptiles) – 1.1 million

Pakshinaam (Birds) – 1.0 million

Paashavah (terrestrial animals) – 3.0 million

Maanavah (human-like animals, including human species) – 0.4 million Total number of species with life are 8.4 million.

Modern day scientists have not been able to discover even 16% of what ancient seers knew.

Kannada dasara pada of more than 500 years old says : “ಎಂಭತ್ತ್ನಾಲ್ಕುಲಕ್ಷಜೀವರಾಶಿಯನ್ನುದಾಟಿಬಂದಈಶರೀರ…”

Translation : Our human body evolved out of 8.4 million species.

Sri Rama was on this earth in 5114 BCE +/- 26,000 years before that or the similar period before that or the one before and so on and so forth..

A solution to the apparent mismatch of dates can be found if we realize that because of a phenomenon known as the ‘Precession of Equinoxes’, stars as visualized from Earth, regain the same positions every 26,000 years!

Outside India, the millenia old story of Rama is still sung by people all over Asia. While traveling to different countries in this part of the world, there are many versions that are even older than the regional ones in India!!

In China, collection of Jatak stories relating to various events of Ramayana, belonging to 251 AD were compiled by Kang Seng Hua based on the Buddhist texts mentioned earlier.

Kumardasa, who ruled Srilanka in 617 BCE wrote the text called ‘Janakiharan’ which is the oldest Sanskrit literature available in Sri lanka.

Hikayat Seri Rama in Malaysia makes Dashrath the great-grandson of Adam, the first man! (which is not too far from the truth as both Dashrath and Manu, the First Man were from the Suryavanshi/Solar dynasty!),

In the Phra Lak Phra Lam of Laos, Buddha is regarded as an incarnation of Rama (again not completely false as both are incarnations of Lord Vishnu!).

Reamker, is the most famous story of Khmer Literature of Cambodia and is the source of classical dance, theater, poetry and of course the famous sculptures of Angkor Wat. Various rock inscriptions belonging to about 700 CE are also found in the Khmer region of Cambodia.

Ramakavaca in Bali is a major source of moral and spiritual guidance for the island and forms the basic story line of Balinese traditional dance,

Kakawin Ramayana in Java, Indonesia (9th century CE) is a mixture of Sanskrit and Kawi languages and is the basis of traditional Indonesian ballet and performances that are famous the world over.

Ramakien in Thailand is again considered the National epic and adds an element of incest to the story by making Sita the daughter of Ravan and Mandodari who is thrown away in the Sea as she is prophesied to bring destruction to Ravan’s Kingdom!!
