PRANAVA VEDA: THE WORLD'S OLDEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE ON EARTH TODAY

Well, this could be the most controversial article ever written in the History of Indian Subcontinent.

So long, not only in India, but also throughout the world, people have been thinking that Sanskrit an Aryan language is the Oldest Language in the world, and Rig Veda as the Oldest existing document in India.

BUT -- IN THIS ARTICLE THE CLAIM OF SANSKRIT AS THE OLDEST LANGUAGE AND RIG VEDA AS THE OLDEST DOCUMENT HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.

THE FACT THAT TAMIL IS THE OLDEST LANGUAGE AND THE PRANAVA VEDA IS THE WORLD'S FIRST DOCUMENT HAS BEEN NAILED WITH FACTS FROM THE 4 SANSKRIT VEDAS

DISCOVERY OF PRANAVA VEDA:

Pranava Veda was discovered in Thanjavur district, the Capital city of the Cholas.

The Pranava Veda is about the Cosmic Energy and How the Structures of a building affects the Cosmic Energy and decides our Health, Wealth and Lifestyle.

PRANAVA VEDA - IS ALSO KNOWN AS VAASTU VEDA.

It was using the knowledge from this Veda, that the descendants of The Chola King Raja Raja Cholan had built the great Angkor Wat.

So, how was this Pranava Veda discovered?

Veerabathiranar had a special interest in astrology and sought out ancient palm leaf texts at the famed Saraswati Mahal Library in Tanjore, Tamil Nadu, India. The Saraswathi Mahal Library contains rare and valuable collections of palm leaf manuscripts on all aspects of art, culture and literature and medical prescription of ancient Ayurveda scholars including patient case studies and interviews in the manuscripts classified under the Dhanvantari section. These manuscripts have been collected for hundreds of years – some of the knowledge is thousands of years old.

In his search for the most ancient texts on astrology, Veerabathiranar found a large cache of very ancient palm leaf texts. He read portions of them and then continued to look for astrology texts. Something inside drew him back to the old cache of texts he found. He kept reading them again and again for four years. He soon came to realize that these texts were of great import. He realized that the legendary great sage and architect named Mamuni Mayan wrote them.

Over time, Veerabathiranar became so entranced by Mayans’ writing that he began to memorize thousands and thousands of verses. He returned on a regular basis to study and memorize what was called the Pranava Veda.

One day many years later Veerabathiranar went back to the library to view the text once again. He discovered that the source texts were missing. They were stolen, sold, or lost in a fire. It was unclear about what actually happened to them. He came to understand that he was the only source available for the preservation of this profound knowledge. He then sought out Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati whom he knew had a great interest in the works of Mamuni Mayan because of Sthapati’s ancient family lineage as a Mayonic architect.

As Dr. Sthapati listened to Veerabathiranar chant the ancient texts he was mesmerized. He soon became overwhelmed with the importance of these scriptures. He realized that this knowledge being transmitted in front of him was the foundation of his own Vaastu lineage and the authentic entire lineage of Sthapatya Veda.

While Mayan was thought of as a mythical being from legends in many parts of India, in the southern region of Tamil Nadu, where he first lived after the great deluge, he was respected as a real human and authentic progenitor of Pranava Veda – the ultimate source of Vaastu Shastras, Agamas, and much of Indian culture. There even exist today places where he was known to have built shrines. His teachings were passed down to his twelve disciples and spread throughout India and to many places in the rest of the world.

Dr. Sthapati’s lineage was part of the tradition begun by Mayan. Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati took great effort in recording, in writing, the fifty – thousand verses of the Pranava Veda that Veerabathiranar recited to him. The Pranava Veda is one of the oldest Tamil Works available today. It is presented as the source of Vedas by Veda Vyasa himself (compiler of the Vedas). This scripture deals with the basic principles of Light, Sound, Space, Time and Self (individual and Universal soul). The Pranava Veda is said to be a detailed commentary on Mayan’s seminal work The Aintiram that is currently a published text.

Dr. S. P. Sabharathnam, a Vastu and Agama scholar and translator of Mayan’s works and many other ancient texts says this about Pranava Veda:

The working pattern of the basic two aspects of Pranava (OM) – OM light and Om sound is the core subject of this work. The nature of Primal Light is analyzed in terms of visible rays, invisible rays, sparks and flames, which are constantly working. In inner cosmos and outer cosmos, (inner cosmos is within every Human body) the nature of Primal Sound is analyzed in terms of audible and inaudible sounds which go hand in hand with the Luminous rays and sparks. The Pranava Veda establishes the truth that there is the basic source of Primal Light, which emits trillions and trillions of luminous beams, which are classified into three – solar, lunar, and fiery. All the visible luminous bodies moving in the near and distant heavens derive their energy only from this Basic Source of Primal Light… The Pranava Veda speaks elaborately on the 64 square grid, micro-abode, five-fold manifestation, five cosmic elements, the positive, negative and neutral interaction between the five cosmic elements and above all the unfailing total identity and correspondence between the inner cosmos (human body) and the outer cosmos.

PRANAVA VEDA SOURCE:

Pranava Veda is the commentary of the the First Science Book written in Tamil Language by a Tamil Vedic Sage called Maamuni Mayan.

Maamuni Mayan, who was thought as a mythological charater has been proved to be a historical charater after Dr. V. Ganapathy Sthapathi has given reference to works by Mayan from Tamil and Sanskrit Literatures.

Much more details about this can be got from the book:\

Sanga Kaala Tamilar Vedam by Dr. V. Ganapthy Sthapathi 

This is the published version of Pranava Veda in Modern Tamil Script. 

The Veda Vyasa in Chandogya Upanishad clearly declares saying

"Ithihasa Puranam, Panchanam Vedhanam" 

(Chandogya Upanishad 7th Skandam, 1st Chapter, 2nd Sloka) 

which means, that the Ancient Traditions declare that there are 5 Vedas.

So, we have Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva Vedas. Now, which could be the 5th Veda, was a striving controversy among the Vedic Scholars.

Ramayana and Mahabharatha declare themselves as the 5th Veda, BUT ARE THEY REALLY THE 5TH VEDA?

NO. RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATHA ARE NOT THE 5th VEDA.

The Veda Vyasa (Compiler of 4 Vedas - Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharva Vedas) himself declares the name of the 5th Veda.

This is what our Veda Vyasa declares about the 5th Veda.

He says in Sanskrit:

"Eka eva pura vedho pranavaha: Sarva Vangamyaha"

(Srimad Bhagavatham, 9th Skandam, 14th Chapter, 48th Sloka) 

which literally means "IN THE REMOTE PAST THERE WAS ONLY ONE VEDA - AND THAT VEDA WAS CALLED THE PRANAVA VEDA" 

So, after knowing these truths, the Tamil Haters put forth another controversy stating that 

PRANAVA - THE LIFE FORCE IS THE SOUND "OM", AND NOT A SEPARATE VEDA OR BOOK.

Dr. V. Ganapathy Sthapathi with Pranava Veda manuscripts (Currently preserved in Thiruvalla, Kerala)

BUT -- THE VEDA VYASA NAILS THIS FACT THAT THE PRANAVA VEDA IS A SEPARATE VEDA , IN SRIMAD BHAGAVADHAM, WHILE HE SAYS THIS:

NOT ONLY THAT - THE SATYAVRATA MANU WHO BELONGS TO THE "SURYA VAMSA" TOOK THE 4 VEDAS FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH -- AND HE WAS THE SON OF A DRAVIDA KING 

Dravida in Sanskrit can mean only "TAMIL" as to how "ANGLAIS" can mean "ENGLISH" only in "FRENCH"

“YO ‘SAU SATYAVRATO NAMA, RAJARDIR DRAVIDESVARAH JINANAD YO ‘TITTA – KALPANTE, LEBHE PURU A – SEVAYA SA VAI VAIVASVATA PUTRO, MANUR ASID ITI SRUTAM TVATTAS TASYA SUTA PROKTA, IK VAKU – PRAMUKHA”  

(Srimad Bhagavadham, 9th Skandam, 1st Chapter, 2 - 3 Slokas)

So, it is possible that not only that the Pranava Veda, but also

1.  ALL OTHER 4 VEDAS WERE WRITTEN IN TAMIL
2. VEDA VYASA WAS A DRAVIDIAN WHO KNEW TAMIL LANGUAGE 
3. TAMIL IS OLDER THAN SANSKRIT AND THE OLDEST LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD

PRANAVA VEDA IS THE WORLD'S OLDEST EXISTING DOCUMENT WRITTEN IN TAMIL LANGUAGE.
