Myths busted about Sanatan Vedic Dharm and Bharat


  1. Hindu: Hindu is a name coined by Persian intruders for the people living in Bharatiya Up-Mahadweep*. The Persian intruders could not pronounce Sindhu in Persian language, and tagged us Sanatan Vedic Dharm Anuyayi as "Hindus". There is no mention of word "Hindu" in any of our holy Shastr, there is only Sanatan Vedic Dharm which we all should follow. The word Hindu is nothing but a misnomer.

  2. Hindukush: This is also a misnomer which has stuck over last few hundred years. There are two known explanations I have come across suggesting this. The first one is that this mountain range which was part of Bharat, now known as present day Kabul in Afghanistan, is the place where Sanatan Vedic Dharm Anuyayi (Hindus) were decimated, hence the word Hindukush. In the past there used to be hundreds of Shiv ji's mandir and more recently known destroyed statues of Buddha in Bamiyan by Taliban. Now there is no trace of any Mandir, no Buddha statue and the mountain range we know about is known as Hindukush. It is mentioned in this explanation that this mountain range was originally known as Hinduraj.

    As per the other explanation we have to remember that two main languages of Afganishtan for long have been Dari and Pushto. While Pushto is the language of Pathans, Dari (form of Farsi) is spoken by people of Afganishtan who have Perisan origin. From the time of the Sassanid kingdom in Iran, the term "Hindu" means anybody living near river Sindhu as proved in the busted myth #1 above. And "Kush" can be a corruption of the Farsi word "Kuh"/"Koh" meaning mountain. So "Hindukush" may mean people living in the mountains near river Sindhu. Of course later Arabi traveler and writer Ibn Batuta wrote that since a large number of the slaves brought from Bharat died in the cold of the mountain, so the term means "slayer of Bharatvasi".

    Only a community like the Sanatan Vedic Dharm Anuyayi (Hindus) can tolerate a mountain range with a name that celebrates their elimination.

    Old Sanskrit scriptures and documents refer it to as Pariyatra Parvat.


  3. इन्द्रं मित्रं वरुणमग्निमाहुरथो दिव्यः स सुपर्णो गरुत्मान|
    एकं सद विप्रा बहुधा वदन्त्यग्निं यमं मातरिश्वानमाहुः॥१-१६४-४६॥
    -पूजनीय ऋगवेद


    इस ऋचा का अभिप्राय है कि इन्द्र, मित्र, वरुण और अग्नि परमात्मा के ही नाम हैं। वह परमात्मा ही गुरुत्मान और सुपर्ण कहलाता है। उसे ही यम, अग्नि और मातरिश्वा कहा जाता है। विद्वान् लोग परमात्मा का बहुत प्रकार से इन्ही नामो से वर्णन करते हैं।

    indraṃ mitraṃ varuṇamaghnimāhuratho divyaḥ sa suparṇo gharutmān|
    ekaṃ sad viprā bahudhā vadantyaghniṃ yamaṃ mātariśvānamāhuḥ॥1-164-46॥
    -Pujniya Rigved


    This pujniya Tricha from our pujniya Rigved has been misinterpreted, part-of-it taken out of context and misrepresented, or not taken in full context.
