These four sayings encapsulate the central truths of Hinduism, analogous to the way the Shahaddah presents the central truths of Islam. The Mahavakyas are 1) Prajnanam Brahma - "Conscious is Brahman" (Aitareya Upanishad 3.3). 2) Ayam Atma Brahma - "This Self (Atman) is Brahman" (Mandukya Upanishad 1.2) 3) [Tat Tvam Asi] - "Thou art That" (Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7) 4) Aham Brahmasmi ...

Kamboja Location - Linguistic evidence. The most acceptable view is that the ancient Kambojas originally belonged to the 'Galcha' speaking area (the Iranian Pamirs and Badakshan) in Central Asia (Linguistic Survey of India, Vol X, p 455, Dr G. A. Grierson). Yaska's Nirukata (II/2.8) attests that verb 'shavati' in the sense 'to go' was used by the Kambojas and only the Kambojas (Early Eastern Iran and Atharvaveda, 1980, 92, Dr Michael Witzel; also Nilukata, Vol I, Sarup). shavatir gatikarmaa Ka ...

Gandhara shows an influx of southern Central Asian culture in the Bronze Age with the Gandhara grave culture, likely corresponding to immigration of Indo-Aryan speakers and the nucleus of Vedic civilization. The name of the Gandharis is attested from the Rigveda. The Gandharis, along with the Mujavantas, Angas and the Magadhas, are also mentioned in the Atharavaveda, but apparently as a despised people. Gandharas are included in the Uttarapatha division of Puranic and Buddhistic traditions. Aitareya Brahmana refers to king Naganajit of Gandhara w ...

Kuru India - Kuru-Puru-Bharata connection. Epic traditions reveal that the kings of Kuru belonged to the Puru-Bharata family. The Kuru-Puru connection is suggested by Rigveda (10.33.4) which attests Kuru-Sravana as the descendent of famous Puru king Trasadasyu. (4.38.1, 7.19.3). A connection of the Bharatas with Kurukshetra is attested by Rigveda 3.23, Satapatha Brahmana 13.5.4, Aitareya Brahmana 8.23 as well as the Mahabharata 7.66.8. The former Purus, Bharatas and several other minor clans were later fused together and amalgamated into ...
