2. Srila Prabhupada says… • “You have got some false thing, you have to make propaganda to prove it, that it is real.” • “This is called propaganda. By propaganda you can establish a false thing as real. That's all. This is going on. They know how to do it. They're expert because they're cheaters. They know how to do it.”

8. The Clue to Lost Civilisation

9. The Clue to Lost Civilisation • Unknown Sailors – A Discovery in Bali. • Laetoli footprints in Tanzania. • Angkor Wat – Largest Vishnu Temple • Easter Islands – Ingenuity in action. • Mohenjo-Daro & Harrappa Civilisations • Pyramids of Egypt. • Discovery of City of Troy. • Discovery of Viking long ship. • Spanish conquest of Aztecs.

10. Upsetting Evidences • Anatomically modern man walked on the earth about 2.5 million years ago. • Sea voyagers have organised sea journeys 800,000 – 880,000 years ago. • 2,500 year old remains of Pharonic cities that have mentioned in Greek tragedies.

11. The Classical Prejudice… • Eurocentricism – Predisposition to attribute the origin of all civilisation to the Greeks & Romans. “It might be said that they are mentally incapable of crossing the Mediterranean.” Rene Guenon, French Philosopher

12. Vedic Civilization- Worldwide Civilisation with Interplanetary Connections Problem with Existence of Advanced Civilisations • Where is the proof? • The Idea of Evolution of Modern Man • The “Linear Progression” Prejudice • Euro centrism • History of History

15. Marine Archaeology (Dvaraka) An entire submerged city at Dvaraka, the ancient port city of Lord Krishna with its massive fort walls, piers, wharfs and jetty has been found in the ocean as described in the Mahabharata and other Vedic literatures.

16. Satellite imagery of Sarasvati River Basin • Pure in her course from the mountains to the ocean, alone of streams Sarasvati hath listened."

17. The Heliodorus Column and Cultural Links to India • An example of these exchanges is found in the inscriptions on the Heliodorus Column, erected in 113 B.C.E. by Heliodorus, a Greek ambassador to India, and convert to Vaisnavism, as well as the 2nd century B.C.E. Coins of Agathocles, showing images of Krishna and Balaram. These artifacts stand testimony that Sanatan Dharma predates Christianity.

18. "India has left a deeper mark upon the history, the philosophy, and the religion of mankind, than any other terrestrial unit in the universe.""While we hold onto India, we are a first rate power. If we lose India, we will decline to a third rate power. This is the value of India." Lord Curzon, British Viceroy of India,(1859-1925): The Glory that India was…

19. In the late 19th century, British victors turned looters. After Bhonsles of Nagpur, were defeated. An estimated 14 trucks of Gold and 125 trucks of Silver, apart from a horde of ornaments, precious and semi-precious stones, rich treasures, horses and elephants were looted and sent to Kolkata. Records reveal that they were auctioned at Kolkata. From their proceeds was born the Lord's Bank in England!

20. It has been estimated that the total amount of treasure that the British looted from India had already reached £1,000,000,000 (£1Billion) by 1901.Taking into consideration interest rates and inflation this would be worth close to $1,000,000,000,000 ($1Trillion) in real-terms today.

21. Priceless Indian treasures that are part of the Queen's collection Among the riches on display are the famous Shivaji's sword and some of the possessions of Guru Gobind Singh and  Bird of Paradise from the throne of Tipu Sultan. Some of the artifacts belonging to Maharaja Ranjit Singh's regime have been displayed at Victoria Albert Museum, (including his golden throne)

23. Evil designs

24. Oxford’s Chair & Mueller’s ghost • Oxford praises for attacking Vedic Knowledge. • Distorting sacred & cultural presentation of Vedas. • Mueller bribed for discrediting sacred texts of India. • Discrediting is better than exterminating; “Pen is mightier than the sword”

25. Colonisation & Evangelism In 1868, writing to the Duke of Argyll, then Secretary of State of India, Muller proclaimed, “The ancient religion of India is doomed, and if Christianity does not step in, whose fault will it be ?”

26. Mueller’s own words I hope I shall finish the work, and I feel convinced, though I shall not live to see it, yet the edition of mine and the translation of the Veda will hereafter tell to a great extent on the fate of India…. It is the root of their religion, and to show them what the root is, I feel sure, is the only way of uprooting all that has sprung from it during the last three thousand years.

27. Mueller’s own words Max Mueller, the propagator of the Aryan invasion theory, wrote to his wife, "It took only 200 years for us to Christianize the whole of Africa, but even after 400 years India eludes us, I have come to realize that it is Sanskrit which has enabled India to do so. And to break it I have decided to learn Sanskrit.”

28. The Intellectual Conspiracy Divide & Rule We are not outsiders We are superior races and to help you all Destroy the Faith in the culture Discredit the authenticity of Vedas Christianize the nation

29. The Ghost continues to haunt us… • Some objectionable mistakes from Std 7 th book 'Our Past - 2‘ • 60 pages given to Mughal’s history and Mughal rulers who made the Hindus slaves. • Not even a single photo of valorous Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj is printed. The place for the photograph is left blank. • While the photos of atrocious, tyrannical Muslim kings, Babar and his descendants starting from 700 AD are printed. • No mention at all of Maharana Pratap who had fought with Mughal and who sacrificed the leisure of royal palace and used to sleep on the grass like ordinary people.

30. Was there ever an Aryan Invasion? Max Mueller’s Biblical Bias No traces of war, chariots & horses No European Homeland Linguistic Evidence was the limitation of time Astronomical Evidence for Dating the Vedas No record of Aryan Invasion in the Vedas Archeological Breakthroughs

31. The Cutting edge Evidence The Discovery of Indus Valley Civilization Numerous Sites discovered in Mohendaro-HarrapanCivilisation Vedic Altars & Deities Discovered Trade & Industry corroborated in Rg Veda The Mighty Saraswati River The Extinction of Saraswati-Indus Valley Astronomical Evidences

32. The Sarasvati Indus Valley Civilisation The Discovery of MEHRGARH “The site covers an area of about 500 acres [200 hectares] with only pre-Harappan remains” and shows “evidence of continuous occupation for more than three millennia prior to the Harappan civilization.” French archaeologist Jean-François Jarrige

33. The Sarasvati Indus Valley Civilisation LOTHAL – ADVANCED PORT The world's first tidal dock is believed to have been built at Lothal around 2300 BC during the Harappan  civilization, near the present day Mangrol harbor on the Gujarat coast.  The Lothal dock is noted for its unique water-locking device, which makes Lothal dock was far ahead of the Phoenician and Roman docks of later days.

34. The Sarasvati Indus Valley Civilisation Mohenjo daro & Harrapan Civilisations The excavations of civilization of “Mohenjodaro’ ruins indicate that the art of construction of buildings, planning of roads, construction of planned towns or cities was well known to the Indians at that time.

35. The Sarasvati Indus Valley Civilisation The Dating of River Saraswati -3000 B.C. Dried up around 1900 B.C. Mention of Saraswati in the Vedic texts. “The holy flow of Saraswati joins the sea impetously. • Mahabharata The Vedas are a body of Knowledge At least 5000 yrs old.

36. The Authenticity of Vedas

37. The Authenticity of Vedas eka-viàçati-bhedena åg-vedaà kåtavän purä çäkhänäà tu çatenaiva yajur-vedam athäkarot säma-vedaà sahasreëa çäkhänäà prabibheda saù atharväëam atho vedaà bibheda navakena tu Kürma Puräëa (52.19–20) Vyäsadeva’s followers further divided the four Vedas into 1,130 branches: vyadadhäd yajïa-santatyai vedam ekaà catur-vidham (Bhäg. 1.4.19) Originally the Veda was one, and at the advent of the current age, Kali-yuga, Çréla Vyäsadeva divided it into four:

38. The Authenticity of Vedas The Åg Veda was divided into 21 branches, the Yajur Veda into 100 branches, the Säma Veda into 1,000 branches, and the Atharva Veda into 9 branches. Each of these branches has 4 subdivisions, called Saàhitä, Brähmaëa, Äraëyaka, and Upaniñad. All together the Vedas consist of 1,130 Saàhitäs, 1,130 Brähmaëas, 1,130 Äraëyakas, and 1,130 Upaniñads, a total of 4,520 titles. By the influence of time, however, many texts have been lost. At present only about 11 Saàhitäs, 18 Brähmaëas, 7 Äraëyakas, and 220 Upaniñads are available. This constitutes less than 6% of the original Vedas.

39. The Authenticity of Vedas Descriptions of Mahabharata, Ramayana, Srimad Bhagavatam are proven scientifically

40. SrilaVyasadeva compiles SrimadBhagavatam sa kadäcit sarasvatyä upaspåçya jalaà çuciù vivikta eka äséna udite ravi-maëòale Once upon a time he [Vyäsadeva], as the sun rose, took his morning ablution in the waters of the Sarasvati and sat alone to concentrate.

41. The Fall of Vedic Empire Srngi’s curse upon Maharaja Parikshit

42. So What? Attack on Faith in Transcendence Western Civilization only encourages & entices to sense gratification Philosophy without Culture will make it extremely difficult to appreciate. Preservation by Propagation.

43. SrilaPrabhupada’s contribution Çrémad-Bhägavatam will fill this need, for it is a cultural presentation for the respiritualization of the entire human society.

44. SrilaPrabhupada on Civilisation In modern human society, spiritual knowledge is neglected, and cow killing is encouraged. It is to be understood, then, that human society is advancing in the wrong direction and is clearing the path to its own condemnation. Civilization is how to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is civilization. One should be intelligent enough. Education must be directed in that way.

45. SrilaPrabhupada urges… Determination with a purpose vyavasäyätmikä buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana bahu-çäkhä hy anantäç ca buddhayo 'vyavasäyinäm Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. O beloved child of the Kurus, the intelligence of those who are irresolute is many-branched. • Faith • Knowledge • Guidance

46. SrilaPrabhupada warns…Brainwashing by Consumerism Therefore this modern civilization is most dangerous civilization, soul-killing civilization. The human being got the chance of understanding God, but they are being refused by the authorities to understand God. Rather, if somebody wants to understand, he is checked, he is harassed by the name of brain-washing and mind control. This is Kali-yuga.

47. SrilaPrabhupada advocates…Assume Responsibility A degraded civilization of sense gratification and economic development is the by-product of a godless or kingless government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The people should not, therefore, begrudge the poor administrations they themselves elect.

48. SrilaPrabhupada appeals…Don’t Keep Knowledge Static Although India has the sublime knowledge of Bhagavad-gétä, Indians have not done their proper duty of distributing it. Therefore the proper distribution of knowledge has begun by which not only will the whole world benefit, but India's glory will be magnified in human society. yäre dekha, täre kaha 'kåñëa'-upadeça ämära äjïäya guru haïä tära' ei deça

49. SrilaPrabhupada wants us to… One must be ready very vigorously. And that is Caitanya Mahäprabhu's also order. Caitanya Mahäprabhu never said that "You chant." He has given certainly the chanting, but so far His mission is concerned, He said that "Everyone of you become guru." Ämära äjïäya guru haïä tära' ei deça

50. SrilaPrabhupada reveals …a deeper secret We have learned from our Guru Mahäräja that preaching is very, very important thing, and when one is actually an experienced preacher, then he is able to chant Hare Kåñëa mantra without any offense. Before that, this so-called chanting of Hare Kåñëa mantra, you may practice without any offenses
