As good patriotic Hindustanis dedicated to leading pure lives free of corruption, assisted by our religious / agnostic / atheistic belief systems, it is heartening to know that we have elders like Shri Prem Sabhlokji spreading the words of the "pious forgeries" among IAC members in his private capacity.
However, when Sabhlok-ji writes " Owing to utility of Vedic metaphysics to the mankind, UNESCO has accorded Heritage status to Vedas", we must intervene to clarify the disinformation and lies being spread in the public domain about these forgeries.
The so-called Vedic manuscripts which have been included in the UNESCO "Memory of the World" register refer to the contents of some forgeries created by the British through Max Mueller purporting to be Kashmiri origin manuscripts of the Rig Veda from 1800-1500 BC and allegedly preserved in the Bhandarkar Oriental Institute Pune.
So-called Hindu nationalists are mischievously spreading the (British origin) forgeries by claiming that these works are older than the Bible and the Koran etc. and palming them off as authentic Hindu works, whereas the reality is something else entirely since this so-called "heritage" Rig Ved is only dated to 1875 and the forgery is based on the as authentic as possible transcriptions commissioned by Maharshi DebendraNath Tagore's Adi Brahmo Samaj in 1848 from the oral traditions of Kashi
For those interested, the Bhandarkar Institute's oldest dated work is of the 14th century AD and seems a treatise on medicine.
In 2004 RSS fanatics also attempted to burn down the Bhandarkar Institute so they would later be able to claim that Hinduism's sacred books predating the Bible had been destroyed. Luckily they were thwarted.

Thanks for your email
I have no where mentioned Athrava Veda gave the exact time. I have mentioned "When soul was provided to human beings" The two statements are vastly different.
There are a lot of Pious forgeries going on to prove what fake gurus/swamis say is correct and Vedas are false.
I have quoted Veda mantra/rik/hymns number in my e-book Glimpses of Vedic Metaphysics.RegardsPrem Sabhlok

Subject: Re: Arrest widespread of Pious Forgeries by reviving Vedas Truthfully- Relevance of Vedas to the Present AgeSablok ji: Whenever you quote any Vedic book, kindly give the reference to the exact mandal, verse and line of the text. For example, you wrote that Atharva Veda gave the exact time when humans were given souls. I am interested in this from a comparative perspective and need to know in which chapter, verse and line this occurs. Then we can check online versions of different Vedic books.
And what did that reference to pious forgeries mean? Whose forgeries, for what purpose? And what is the connection with the arrests of poets, writers and lawyers working for the voiceless downtrodden whom the state in collusion with big multinational companies are dispossessing ?
Thank you, Joya Roy

Rig Veda mentions that the greatest service to God is to spread the spirit of Vedas with honesty, straight-forwardness, without deceit of any kind, for all to enjoy true and spiritual happiness. By understanding the philosophy, metaphysics, knowledge and various models contained in the Vedas, we can perhaps find viable solutions to our present social, economic, political and religious problems.Vedic metaphysics can save the mankind from all kinds of social, economic and other depressions. Strengthen Sanatan Dharma (the eternal religion) through revival of Vedas.The followers of Vedic metaphysics can become paramjot- the carriers of Vedic divine light (knowledge)Dear Spiritual Brothers and Sisters,Subject: Vedas and their relevance to the present age.Owing to utility of Vedic metaphysics to the mankind, UNESCO has accorded Heritage status to Vedas. These scriptures of yore explain comprehensively many divine, spiritual and material subjects and guidelines given there in can help in Universal Brotherhood (Viswa Bandhutva) and development of scientific temper.Adi Grantha says, "Asankh grantha mukhi Ved path"- there are innumerable scriptures but study of Vedas is supreme. It also says, "OMKAR Ved Nirmayi"- Vedas were revealed by God- hence Vedas are Shruti.Atharva Veda makes it clear when soul was provided to human beings, Vedic knowledge was revealed as human soul contains all the Vedic knowledge. Vedic metaphysicists (Rsis) and wise wandering sages (Munnies) through meditation communicated with their souls which are vachispatiah (i.e. human soul- Atma has a sound and can communicate with us) and acquired Vedic knowledge. Rig Veda tells us that soul was provided to human beings so that the purpose of human birth could be known to human beings.Rig Veda further mentions the purpose of human birth is to assist the Vishwakarma (Supreme Reality/Architect) to assist Him in the maintenance of His Grand wondrous Design by following Rta- Cosmic laws of social, moral and physical order. Having created these laws (Rta) even God follows them sternly lest great harm is done to His Creation.Some of these Rta are "as you sow so shall you reap", follow path of moderation, "Iddm nan mam"- nothing for self all for society (enlightened liberalism) and many others.When human beings followed Vedic teachings and guidelines Vedic Sanatan Dharma (eternal religion) was spread beyond Caucasus, Prasava (Persia), Ariana (Iran), Indian sub continent, South Esat Asia JAVA, Samatra, Tashik Khand (Tashkand) etc.Many Greeks, Parthians, Kushans and many others merged with this divine Dharma without any kind of conversion. Rig Veda mentions "Rtam, Satyam, Dharmmam" as Vedic Dharma. Rta-Cosmic Laws of social, moral and physical order are eternal truths (Satyam) and following these Laws (Rta) is Vedic Dharma.Under the vehement effect of dreaded materialism of Charvakaas the followers of Sanatan Dharma started deviating from Vedic Metaphysics (Upanishadic part of Vedas), Buddhism overtook Sanatan Dharma and history tells us that Adi Sankracharya revived Vedas and Buddhism virtually vanished from India . The message of later Rsis/Swamis/Maharisis is very clear "Revive Veda and save the mankind from self destruction".Vedas for modern ageOur social interaction is limited to friends, relations etc but not to community so our houses are spotlessly clean and surroundings dirty as community welfare is never our Motto- Vedas take us to community welfare and "WE" Feeling.2. In social service the concept of Success is difficult to define- so it is better to be a man of value than of success.3. Research in social sciences and medical sciences has found that helping others not for recognition is good for heart. It is great way to exercise your heart and soul.4. Vedas specifically guide us to TEACH (transparency, ethics, accountability, community and humanity welfare) principle. Most of the modern systems have failed in this regard.5. Unless self rule at the grass root level is there in Democracy, the rulers tend to become autocratic, corrupt, hypocrite and tyrannical (Plato). There is no visible movement for swaraj- self rule in India.Ishta theory of Vedas describes paths could be different so long as these paths aim at the welfare of mankind and other animate and inanimate life. Vedas do not consider matter as inert and explain in a large number of hymns that matter has unsuspected vitality. All religions should aim at unity in diversity i.e. (should lead to universal brotherhood-viswa bandhutva), global family of the same One God (vasudhaivan kutumbkam), global trade and global market for the material and spiritual welfare of mankind. God being formless, ineffable and self-created, avoid explaining God through categories, substance, activity, quality and relationship. HE is beyond cognition, perception of human senses, logic of mind and intellect. Words recoil to explain the Supreme Reality. Only true and harmonised material, spiritual and divine knowledge (para jnan) can unite all religions to compete with each other for the welfare of mankind.For the theists with material and intellectual knowledge, multiplicity of gods is seen in the form of idols, icons and incarnation of God as a human being. Some such individuals even find God/god as partly a man and partly a woman (Ardhanari Iswaran). Any individual who starts moving towards para jnan (higher knowledge), all arguments start and end at One formless and ineffable God who is Sat, Chit, Anand - the only reality, supreme consciousness, and bliss.What is admirable in the Vedas is that their powerful and comprehensive philosophy was created for all ages and for the entire mankind. This philosophy was made available at a time when most parts of the world had hallucinations of ghosts getting out of dead bodies, when shadow was interpreted as the soul, spirit, ghosts, and the soul was considered to be getting out of the body at night during dreams. It was the period when the concept of inner and outer world was highly confused. Out of fear complex the ancient man worshipped snakes, animals, plants, and clouds by creating millions of gods with form. When in most parts of the world the religion of animism was wide spread, the Vedic metaphysics was getting developed in the areas which now lie in the states of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, Pakistan and some Northern parts of India. Arya Vrata was the land spreading up to Parshavas ( Persia ), Ariana (later Iran ) and this land was not a fairy tale country, since the Vedas nowhere describe mythology as part of metaphysics.The Dark Age or Kali yuga has the predominance of avarnas and vritras. In this Age owing to spread of only material and intellectual knowledge bereft of divine and spiritual knowledge, the predominant features are superstitions, unscientific outlook, blind faith, hypocrisy, naked selfishness and wide spread corruption. Fake gurus and god-men who get hallucination that they are the incarnation of various gods on this earth, multiply. Thus Vedic metaphysics meant for the guidance of human beings of this Dark Age is largely ignored. However, the study of Vedas would reveal that Vedic gurus (Gu- darkness and Ru- to dispel) are the dispellers of both inner and outer darkness. They are more like Socrates, Mencius, St Augustine, Immanuel Kant, Sankrachrya, Guru Nanak and swami Daya Nanda and do not bear any resemblance to the modern godmen, gurus, babas, tantriks and swamis.A perusal and study of "Glimpses of Vedic Metaphysics" on the Internet can give more details on the subject. The seekers of Vedic knowledge can access this book through website http://www.sabhlokcity.com/metaphysics/ OR through google.com/ yahoo.com/ lulu.com. Search for the Book.With warm regards,Yours spiritual brother,Prem SabhlokVedas contain many other subjects like:1. Vedas explain scientifically divine, spiritual and material knowledge.2. Material economics not based on inert matter3. Purpose of life and human Birth4. Why Vedas are referred as Shruti(Heard/directly revealed through human soul)5.
