Testimonials
Sir, I have been reading your writings for a long time. I am very happy to see someone working for true dharma. When I started learning about Santana Dharma I saw many websites full of false content. They literally made me hate our religion. But after reading your website, I understood many of the things which I didnt know previously. Thanks for spreading knowledge. I would also spread knowledge to the best possible way. Thank you.

Preface
Once upon a time, cyberspace used to be dominated by fanatics. They included not only hackers and terrorist associations but also witchdoctors and scientists specializing in superstitions. They all had only one mission to subdue all voices that dont sing the chorus with their own call of the divine. Mortal remains of their deeds can still be witnessed in internet archives. In those times, they would proudly assert that only they have a passport of heaven, and whosoever disagrees even slightly shall not be forgiven here and hereafter.
Their impact was spread across the world. But Indians being the potentially most attractive population segment for their mission were a special focus for them. Their witchdoctors thus created a lot of ready-made material which would be copy-pasted by the junior level missionaries across various discussion boards, social networking sites, blog sites, the comments section of blog sites to dissuade Indians from their culture and its foundationtowards the only way to achieve a virgins-full heaven. The proof of their claim was visible to entire humanity through the marks on the moon that proved it was splitting 14 centuries ago!
They were being very successful in their mission, and this success made them proclaim that their dominance would increase with increasing penetration of internet among masses. In next few years, India is estimated to be fully dominated as per claims of their TV Channels.
But then Agniveer came. And scenario changed. Now suddenly their copy-paste would get countered by similar copy-pastes from Agniveer site. Google would show up Agniveer site in Top 10 searches on most of the controversial topics that they would like Indians to be confused about.
Agniveer was a very humble small scale attempt without recourse to petrodollars or millions of bucks. But it struck where it hurt the most.
- Agniveer showed them the mirror. It proved to them that they have no logical basis to claim that only their belief system is perfect, and everything else is a passport for hell.
- It showed them there is no evidence to prove that the holy scripture of theirs is indeed the same as provided by whom they claim to be their founder. And that blind belief devoid of reason is only a recipe to nurture terrorists.
- Agniveer also countered silly allegations on Indian culture through authoritative analysis and evidence.
Now suddenly their plans went awry. One celebrated witch doctor in their team announced that he would not argue or debate with certain sects ever. Many others attempted to redefine their interpretations of their scriptures. But there are many who followed the deeds of the monkey of Panchatantra. In Panchatantra, there is a story of a monkey who was shivering in the rain because he had no home. A well-intentioned pigeon advised him to build a home so that he does not have to face such troubles again. The monkey got angry on this and destroyed the nest of the pigeon to ensure that even pigeon does not have a home. This is what terrorist mind is all about foolishness, anger, vindictiveness.
Similar minds have started countering Agniveer by denigrating the Vedas on most frivolous pretexts because they could not explain how they could demand the entire world to follow only their book which was compiled only after 20 years of the murder of the peace-loving saintly founder by a gang which was itself murdered by yet another group. Even that book is not available fully today. But Buffalo belongs only to one who has the stick seems to be their mantra.
There have been many attempts by writing articles based on extremely outdated claims to prove that Vedas are not eternal, they are textually corrupted and they also promote sex, alcohol, hate and violence. I initially chose to ignore these long-rejected frivolous claims. I thought that someone else would counter them along with flat-earth theory while Agniveer focuses on other prominent tasks. But considering the widespread promotion that is being provided to this viewpoint by petrodollar power holders, I thought of writing at least one book analyzing and debunking various myths and claims questioning the divinity of Vedas. Because in an era of misinformation, often truth is nothing but a lie shouted thousand times!
To read the original allegation, you can simply type Textual Corruption in Vedas or Origin of Vedas, Their Inspiration, and Authority in google and check the variants. I dont want to provide many links and help popularize new names to replace old fanatics whose demise the world is celebrating today!
But the promise that can be made about this book is that one who carefully reads this shall not act like a pigeon to counter the terrorist monkey. Instead, he will become a gorilla and will be able to contribute utmost for the defence of truth and Dharma by destroying intellectual terrorism!

SECTION 1: ORIGIN, ETERNITY AND DIVINITY OF VEDAS
CHAPTER 1
What are Vedas?
T here seem to be apparently differing views and confusion on what exactly is meant by Vedas. So, before we prove the divinity and infallibility of Vedas and deal with other allegations of Hinduism haters in upcoming chapters, let us first authoritatively clear this confusion and understand what Vedas are.
Vedic literature includes several texts:
- Veda Mantra-Samhitas Rik, Yajuh, Sama, Atharva
- Brahmans associated with each Mantra Samhita
- Aranyaks
- Upanishads (actually part of above)
- Upavedas (each Mantra Samhita has an associated Upaveda)
In reality, only the Mantra-Samhitas are the divine Vedas. Other texts like Brahmans, Aranyaks, Upanishads, Upavedas, six Darshan, Geeta, etc. are texts written by sages. These texts are the human creation and not divine. So, these texts should be accepted only to the extent that they comply with Vedas (Mantra-Samhitas) and understood in the context of these.
Doubt
We heard Brahmans are part of Vedas and therefore they are also divine and eternal.
