The contemporary explorers of Chinese Daoism in the east and particularly in the west, unaware of its origin and its real meaning and significance, continue persistently to cultivate a totally nonsensical perception of the Chinese concept of yin-yang backed up by erroneous notions of what its graphic image known as symbolic diagram of the Dao calle...

Veda or Vedism, viz. Vedic Dialectics is the most complex and most advanced system of thought ever developed by human mind. Under the term Dialectics is to be understood the most objective method of (perceiving and) understanding Reality. Some modern Western scholars unacquainted with Dialectics, have adopted structural approach toward Vedic exegesis, accepting the static and simplified anti-dialectical methodology of structuralism as the substitute for more advanced dynamic system of Vedic Dialectics. Significantly, Claude Lévi-Strauss the founder of structural anthropology, viz. anthropological structuralism, basically a static system of binary oppositions which is in sharp contrast with the Vedic dynamic dialectical system of continual changes specified by the term māyā “change”, having been aware of the deficiencies of his system, quite reasonably never attempted to analyze the doctrines of Vedism by structural approach in his anthropological studies. The aim of this paper is to present the authentic system of Vedic Dialectics and its indisputable supremacy over Structuralism and Western form of Dialectics.

... The Wisdom of Solomon was so proverbial among the people that they assigned to him even wise judgment [12] from the events he was never actually involved with, e.g. the dispute between two harlots both claiming to be the mother of a live child and not of the other which died because its mother overlaid it during the night. Solomon was able to detect who was the real mother of the baby by proposing the child to be cut into two, one half for each woman, but the real mother begged not to do that even if her child be given to the other woman (I Kings 3. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. For an analogous event was described earlier by the Hindu Purānas. ...
The doctrines of karma and reincarnation (metempsychosis) have become widely popular in the West through the mediation of esoteric practices of yoga, transcendental meditation, zen and similar Eastern spiritual techniques. It is less known, however, that the same doctrines have been residing in Europe for more than 2000 years among the texts of both the Old Testament and the New Testament likewise, but remained fairly unrecognized. The present paper deals with these doctrines from the beginning of their formation, through various stages of their development, including their transplantation into the texts of the Bible.
The concept of Seven Heavens along with the Ptolemaic geocentric system of astronomy is utilized by the so-called monotheistic religions to prove the divine God’s origin of their scriptures, which is a nonsense in itself.
Many modern schools of Haṭha Yoga around the world use the Tài-jí-tú 太極圖 (simplified 太极图) viz. the Chinese Yīn-Yáng 陰陽 (simplified 阴阳) symbolic diagram ☯ as their own emblem. There exists, in deed, an intimate historical relationship between Hindu Haṭha Yoga and the Chinese philosophical concept of Yin and Yang.

There exists an erroneous notion among the Hindus and Westerners alike, that Vedism and Hinduism is the very same thing. Although it cannot be denied that Hindus have inherited a long line of orally transmitted tradition since Vedic times, it must be said that there are many gaps and changes of priority within the knowledge thus obtained. B.G.Tilak an extraordinarily insightful Indian scholar already demonstrated that even famous native commentators of the Veda, like Sāyaṇācārya were bound to make mistakes in their interpretations of the sacred texts. Accordingly, Tilak as a serious scholar followed strictly comparative methodology of research that contributed much to better understanding of the Vedic doctrines, the approach that is hardly followed by modern scholars. In dealing with Hinduism, researchers must be very well aware of the differences between scientific aspects preserved in their scriptures versus sheer superstitions as part of ritualistic practices present in every modern religion Western and Eastern alike. Therefore, we should not read the later developments from the Purāṇas into the Rig-Veda, comparable to the unallowable intrusion of medieval Arabic astronomy into the Old Norse Edda. Accordingly, the true identity of the highly enigmatic Vedic god Vivasvat Āditya is revealed for the first time by means of the authentic astronomical data from the Rig-Veda. Keywords: Dhruva, Pole Star, Śiśumāra, Vishnu, Time, Krishna, Purāṇas, Vivasvat, Norse Edda
After the initial enormous zeal of scholarly enthusiasm in the 19th century and the promising results of exegetic endeavors by the pioneers of the Vedic studies, the modern explorers of the Vedic texts seem to have lost their scientific compass, enhanced by a series of world disastrous events during 20th century, leading them astray from the straight objective path of science. As a consequence, the most significant scientific and astronomical aspects of the Veda have been neglected and completely overlooked, or explained in a ridiculous and primitive manner. The subject of the present treatise is the last of those grand but still undeciphered Vedic mysteries described in the allegory of Vr̥ṣākapi, known to the ancient Greeks as Ērikapaĩos.
Did the Vedic Aryans experience a kind of close encounter or make at least an acquaintance with the astronauts from the outer space in remote antiquity? There are indeed recorded in the hymns of the Rig Veda some accounts of utilization of the spaceships and even a spectacular appearance of mysterious cosmic navy assembled from golden spaceships is specified explicitly as occurred in those distant times. Tracking the delineated data farther into antiquity, the present research has arrived at a stunning discovery, and now it returns with the attainment of equally spectacular new insights on the subject. Among these, the paper solves the greatest Vedic enigma of all times. Collaterally, the paper contributes additional arguments contra theory of the Arctic origin of the Veda and the Vedans. At last but not insignificantly, the paper challenges established linguistic dogmas of Indo-Europeanistics.
One of the most important hymns for proper Vedic exegesis is the Rig-Veda X 106. Unfortunately, the only existing translations of the hymn dating far back in 1877 (German version) and 1888 (English version) have some doctrinal and terminological deficiencies. On the other hand, contemporary Western linguists and Sanskritists are reluctant to undertake any serious attempt at translating it. Apparently they feel fairly incompetent for the fulfilment of such a demanding task. Thus, the readers of every successive new translation of the Rig-Veda afterwards have been deprived of a more complete insight into its content. Because of the great importance of the hymn X 106 for Vedic exegesis, the present paper is devoted to deciphering the vitally crucial terminological cryptograms appearing in the hymn.
No other divine entity has been so diversely (mis)interpreted as is the Vedic God Mitra, either as abstract concepts or concrete objects. It seems that western Academics, Professors, Experts (acronymically Apes, some of whom are also the editors of prominent academic journals) compete between themselves who will invent a more nonsensical decryption of the term mitra, so great is their vanity. One can wonder why the westerners use to play the role of smart guys, pretending to be wiser than the Vedic seers who composed the Veda. They do not listen to the authentic words of the Veda, but contrive the scheme how to promote their own selves and their own not so intelligent notions adopted from Homeric, Zoroastrian and biblical myths and read it into the Vedic texts. The appropriate answer is that of King Solomon (famous as the gatherer of wisdom from all parts of the world, and especially from India) who wisely observed: “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!” What is more, they overlook the fact that unlike other “religions” Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Tibetan Lamaism, and Sino-Japanese Chan/Zen as well, which represent mostly the slobbery mawkish sets of (ever changing) ethical rules and commandments, Veda is primarily and essentially “Science” with capital “S”, hence being eternal.
