Many believe that the world has derived most of its wisdom from the verses of the ancient Vedic records. These refer to Hindu writings from about 1400 to 1200 BC which consist of the main body of classical Sanskrit literature.
The oldest document in the literature of the Indian subcontinent is the Rigveda, or Veda of the Stanzas, of about 1400 BC. It forms the main text of Brahmanical Hinduism.
The second Veda, the Yajurveda (1200 BC), consists of sacred formulas which were recited by priests during sacrifices.
The third veda is called the Samaveda from about 1100 BC which is also called the Veda of the Chants.
The fourth, the Atharvaveda (1200 BC), contains hymns, incantations, and magic charms.
The 108 known ‘Upanishads’ record the wisdom of a succession of Hindu sages and teachers. It is this which formed the basis of later Hindu philosophy.
The 'Mahabharata' is the longest poem ever written. Within this massive story about the struggle between two families is the famous ‘Bhagavadgita’ (The Lord’s Song), known today as the "bible" or religious text of Hinduism.
The Atomic Bomb and
the Vedic Records
When the first atomic bomb went off at Alamagordo in New Mexico, it transformed the desert sand to green glass.
The "Father of the H-Bomb," Doctor Robert Oppenheimer, was a Sanskrit scholar. Once when he was speaking of the first atomic test, he quoted the Mahabharata saying, "I have unleashed the power of the Universe. Now I have become the destroyer of worlds."
A number of years later, he was interviewed at Rochester University. When asked whether his Alamagordo nuclear test had been the first atomic bomb to ever be detonated, he replied: "Well, yes, in modern history."
Oppenheimer was referring to the fact that the ancient Vedic records which are written in Sanskrit contained the information he needed to construct the atomic bomb.
