For the first time, the similarity of the names of geographical objects in Russia and India was discussed after the publication of the book by the Indian Sanskrit scholar Tilak “The Arctic Homeland in the Vedas“. Based on ancient Indian treatises, most of all on the Mahabharata, Tilak proves that the events described in this epic took place several thousand years ago on the territory of the modern Russian North, or rather, in the interfluve of the Volga and Oka. In the Mahabharata there is a chapter “Forest“, which describes in great detail the area on which the historical battle of the Pandavas and Kauravas took place. Interestingly, most of the rivers mentioned in this chapter do not occur in India. Quite the contrary is the case with the rivers of the Volga-Oka basin. Moreover, the descriptions in “Forest“ are very detailed. Tilak claims that the Volga is the Ganges (in Sanskrit, “ganga“ is simply “river“), and the Oka is the Yamuna. It would seem that far-fetched. But, according to the Mahabharata, the Jala and Upajala rivers flow into the Yamuna. And to this day the rivers Zhala and Upa flow into the Oka. Coincidence? But also the river Para flows into the Oka and the Indian Yamuna. Even in the Mahabharata it is written that the river Praveni flows into the Yamuna, flowing from Lake Godovari. Today there are no such hydronyms in India, and the river Pra, flowing from Lake God (this is the Vladimir region), actually flows into the Oka. Poochie is not the only locality that has retained Sanskrit names. On the contrary, they are found everywhere in Russia - from Kaliningrad to the Far East. Here are some examples. Arya is the name of two cities: in the Nizhny Novgorod region and in the Yekaterinburg region. And in the Krasnoyarsk Territory there is the city of Ariysk. Omsk - a Siberian city on the Om River - according to the Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba, the city and the river are named after the transcendental mantra “Om“. The city of Oma and the Oma River are also in the Arkhangelsk region. Tara is a river in the Omsk region, named after an Indian goddess. Moksha - rivers in Mordovia and in the Ryazan region. The Vedic term “moksha“ in Sanskrit means “liberation, departure to the Spiritual World“. Kryshneva and Khareva are tributaries of the Kama River. Kama itself is the name of a Sanskrit deity. Soma is a river flowing through the land of the Vyatichi. Translated from Sanskrit - “divine drink“, an analogue of the Russian “living water“. Ravan is a river south of Lake Ladoga. Possibly named after the powerful ten-headed demon Ravana. Yama is a river in the Magadan region. Maya is a city and a river near Yakutsk. It is noteworthy that the formidable goddess Maya, according to the Vedic scriptures, chose to live in the region of eternal cold, where all living things die. Angara is a river in Siberia and the name of the planet Mars in Vedic cosmology. Padma is the name of a river and lake in the Arkhangelsk region. Everything is simple here: in Sanskrit, “padma” means “lotus”, and indeed, there are a lot of water lilies in Padma Lake. And in Russia there are several rivers and lakes with the names of the Ganges, many derivatives of the “Indus“ - Indirka, Indigirka, the Sita, Shiva rivers, Lake Rama, etc. In the Krasnoyarsk Territory there is the village of Balakhta: every time you drive past it on the highway, you find yourself in fog, and at any time of the year. This is the nature of the area. Is it any wonder that in Sanskrit “balakhta“ is “fog“? #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #India #Russia #Sanskrit #Aryan #populationGenetics #ancientHistory #Genetics #migration #Vedas #Mahabharata #BritishBroadcastingCorporationBusinessOperation #IndiaCountry #historyOfIndia #MahabharataReligiousText #AdiParva #Mahabharat #animation #cartoon #animated #stories #fullMovie #cartoons #pandavas #kauravas #krishna #arjuna #kidsStories #epic #animatedStories #mythologicalStories #mahabharatha #duryodhana #yudhistra #onceUponATime #mythological
