RIG VEDIC CHANTS

 RIG VEDIC CHANTS
.

Rigvedic chants were mostly war-field chants seeking victory in tribal war.
Indra ,is just the leader of the battle., on such different occasions over centuries. 'Indra' perhaps is -vaendhan- in Tamizh.

.
And soma was just inebriating liquor.
..it invigourated the soldiers and it was a custom, that the cup was given in the hierarchy of valour in the battle field.
This custom has been sung in numerous short poems of
PuRa NaanooRu.
Exact equivalents can be found in Homeric passages.

Rugvedic priests believed that Agni was the agent who took the offerings in the fire of Homa kundam to the celestials and make them offer boons to the performer of such homa offering.
He was jaathavedhas.
.
In their naivette, they believed that even the gods relished the somarasam.
..
Why the crescent moon is always associated with Siva is not known,
Soma-sekaran. ..chandra sekharan.
What exatly is meant by sekharan ?
Wearer?
.
Soma ofcourse takes many meanings one of them is the liquor and the other is the moon.

The 'crescent moon', .piRai coodi' is not the monopoly of saivites alone. It is an ancient imagery from the
Mesapotamian-(iraqui-Sumerian-Chaldean-assyrian )civilizations dating back to 3000 BC.

Very likely that most of saivite lore and even of hindu religion is of the Levant origin..

The Far South of India provides the continuity of ancient tradition..of hindu religion.

Agarkar in 1886 to his last days in 1920.  An article on nihilism' was reproduced by Tilak in The Mahratta of 17 April 1881 .This article, reproduced from the English journal Leisure Hour, noted that nihilism 'manifests itself as radicalism in politics, as communism in its social aspect, as theism in its religious tendencies'. ...

  INDUS,IRAQ and TAMILS ... RSR ...... ..... This is a long and disjointed post. The following points are stressed. 1. INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION  is dated from 3000 BC. thanks to the Archeologist John  Marshal . 2 Aryans were  cattle  growing tribes from  the shores of CASPIAN Sea Turkmenistan, uzbekistan region. Kurds, scattered in north iran, north iraq, north syria and eastern turkey. . 3 They spoke a language similar to Greek, Latin and Sanskrit and Persian (iran).
