But as I now try to read more into it, I see that this is an extremely prevalent motifs across temples of many centuries, regions and cultures in India. Thank you for bringing to light the Mohanjedaro connection. There is one thought that the mythical animals are actually memories we carry about extinct animals. For example, the unicorn is a memory of a extinct species of rhino, the Siberian Unicorn. I wonder if this is true about the Yaali also - maybe a mammoth or some such gargantuan species?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864653463177413678.post-86068598483144782522019-04-23T01:41:28.219+05:302019-04-23T01:41:28.219+05:30Thank you Bhibhu for your reply.

But I think Asko is wrong on a point. Harappa sits very near to rann of Kutch,which is home to Asiatic wild ass, which is part of equine family. So is it possible that the Harappan people would not be aware of a horse or horse like animal? Moreover they had trade relations with central asia, which is the traditional home of Asian wild horse( especially the kazak region, one of the possible places of origin of vedic people. Rajaram talks of Toba volcanic eruptions 72000 years ago after which proto vedic age started. He even hypotheses the Ramayana event at 32000 BC. You can see his lecture on Aryan Debate on India Inspires channel of You Tube. Old archives of Frontline( Hindu publication) have covered the topic. They did 4 special editions on N Rajaram way back in 2003. I would also like to draw your attention to the story of Kalpa Vigraha which has been radio dated to 26450 BC, as well as the statue of narashimma found in Germany which is 42000 years old, a vedic village in the lower Volga region and amazing artifacts and statue of Vishnu with with hammer and scythe found, which is similar to the depiction of Vishnu in South India. I am puzzled and perplexed..all chronology seems mixed up. I urge you to look into this matter.Blackpearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968834421556388858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864653463177413678.post-54159494263794275012019-03-25T16:07:49.549+05:302019-03-25T16:07:49.549+05:30Thanks for your comment.

I had not heard of Gaja Kesari yoga before, but I did a quick check-up, and I think its interesting that this elephant-lion combination is a part of astrology as well. Not very surprising, though, since it figures so predominantly in our temple architecture. Evidently, the gaja-vyala was looked upon as a very powerful symbol that could confer strength, intelligence, capability, and prosperity.Bibhu Dev Misrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388473714672380058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864653463177413678.post-3977857987291341042019-03-21T03:08:22.378+05:302019-03-21T03:08:22.378+05:30Hi Bibhu wonderful artical as usual.

Isn’t it intriguing that it’s the same combination of lion and elephant that’s mentioned in our astrology too?nanzjulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287187952312578056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864653463177413678.post-8298923114633502052019-03-15T20:55:57.300+05:302019-03-15T20:55:57.300+05:30Thank you.

Human civilization goes back hundreds of thousands of years, and many Yuga Cycles have gone by before the current one. Its just that finding the evidence for it is rather difficult due to the periodic cataclysms that remove all traces of former civilizations.Bibhu Dev Misrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388473714672380058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864653463177413678.post-20807572926765364212019-03-14T21:35:44.653+05:302019-03-14T21:35:44.653+05:30Dear Bibhu.

It seems there is some grain in Rajaram's claim that Indian civilization dates back to 72000 BC and the present system of 4 Vedas is at least 14th generation of Vedas. Moreover the sutras for the of light in the 10th mandala of rig Veda is also amazing. please do some research on these claims too.Bishwajitnoreply@blogger.com
