आज आपके ज्ञान में वर्धन हेतु एक छोटा सा लेख प्रस्तुत है , पाश्चात्य विद्वान “Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck”, १९११ के नोबेल पुरुस्कार विजेता के पुस्तक “The Secret” इसमें से कुछ आवश्यक तथ्य आपके पठनार्थ हम उद्धृत कर रहे है जिससे वेदनिंदकों के नेत्र खुलें-

मैटरलिंक अपने पुस्तक के Pg. 3 पर यह लिखते हैं आज किसी के द्वारा हिंदुओ की अति प्राचीन उद्गम इतिहास का पता नही किया जा सकता -

From the historical point of view we have absolutely no documents whatever if we go back a greater distance than five, or six, or perhaps seven thousand years. We cannot tell how the religion of the Hindus and Egyptians came into being. When we become aware of it we find it already complete in its broad out lines, its main principles.

आगे Pg.8 पर वे वेदों की प्रशंसा में रूडोल्फ स्टेनर की सम्मति उद्धृत करते हुए लिखते है -

What we read in the ‘Vedas,’ “says Rudolph Steiner, one of the most scholarly and, at the same time, one of the most baffling of con temporary occultists; "What we read in the Vedas,' those archives of Hindu wisdom, gives us only a faint idea of the sublime doctrines of the ancient teachers, and even so these are not in their original form. Only the gaze of the clairvoyant, directed upon the mysteries of the past, may reveal the unuttered wisdom which lies hidden behind these writings.”

Historically it is highly probable that Steiner is right. As a matter of fact, as I have al ready stated, the more ancient the texts, the purer, the more awe-inspiring are the doctrines which they reveal; and it is possible that they themselves are, in Steiner's words, merely an enfeebled echo of sublimer doctrines. But if we are not gifted with the vision of a seer we must be content with what we have before our eyes.

The texts which we possess are the sacred books of India, which corroborate those of Egypt and of Persia. The influence which they have exerted upon human thought, if not in their present form, at least by means of the oral tradition which they have merely placed on record, goes back to the beginnings of history, has extended itself in all directions

आगे, Pg.11 पर वे लोक में प्रचलित दो बड़े मत अर्थात् पाश्चात्य विद्वान Max muller तथा महर्षि श्री दयानंद सरस्वती जी के मतों को भी अपने पुस्तक में स्थान देते हुए उद्धृत करते है ताकि पाठक गण उन दोनो मतों पर भी विचार करे , यहा वे इस मामले में स्वयं को संशयित पाकर तटस्थ रहना पसंद करते हुआ किसी एक मत को स्वीकार करने से बचते है -

The “Rig-Veda,” which contains 1028 hymns of an average length of ten lines, or a total of 153,826 words, was therefore preserved by the effort of the memory alone. Even to-day the Brahmans all know the “Rig-Veda” by heart, as did their ancestors three thousand years ago. We must attribute the spontaneous development of Vedic thought, as we find it in the "Rig Veda," to a period earlier than the tenth cen tury B. C. Three centuries before the Chris tian era once more, according to Max Müller -Sanskrit had already ceased to be spoken by the people. This is proved by an inscription whose language is to Sanskrit what Italian is to Latin.

But according to other Orientalists the age of the “Chandas” probably goes back to a pe riod two or three thousand years before Christ. This takes us back five thousand years: a very modest and prudent claim. “One thing is cer tain,” says Max Müller, "namely, that there is nothing more ancient, nothing more primitive, than the hymns of the 'Rig-Veda,' whether in India or the whole Aryan world. Being Aryan in language and thought, the 'Rig-Veda' is the most ancient of our sacred books." Since the works of the great Orientalist were written other scholars have set back the date of the earliest manuscripts, and above all of the earliest traditions, to a remarkable extent; but even so these dates fall short by a stupendous amount of the Brahman calculations, which refer the origin of their earliest books to thou sands of centuries before our era. "It is actu ally more than five thousand years," says Swami Dayanound Saraswati, "since the 'Vedas' have ceased to be a subject of investigation"; and according to the computations of the Ori entalist Halled, the "Shastras," in the chronol ogy of the Brahmans, must be no less than seven million years old. Without taking sides in these disputes the only point which it is important to establish is the fact that these books, or rather the tradi tions which they have recorded and rendered permanent, are evidently anterior-with the possible exceptions of Egypt, China, and Chaldea-to anything known of human history.

इसी के आगे Pg 17. पर egyptian civilization से hindu civilization को सिद्ध रूप से अति प्राचीन पाते है, निम्न वचन पढ़े -

Now Exodus probably dates from the year 1310 B. C., and the date of the Great Pyramid can not be fixed at less than 3000 or 4000 years be fore our era. These calculations, like those which make the Chinese era begin 2697 years before Christ, lead us back strangely enough, to the period assigned by the students of Indian history to the development of the Vedic ideal; a development which presupposes a period of gestation and formation infinitely more remote. For the rest, they do not deny that the Egyptian civilization, like the Hindu civilization, may be very much more ancient.

अब आप सोच रहे होंगे अचानक उनका ये निर्णय किस प्रकार हुआ ? तो इसपर वे एक secret खोलते है जिसे विकासवादी धूर्तो ने बड़े ही उत्तम ढंग से इतिहास पर मिट्टी डालकर लुप्त करने की नाकाम कोशिश की थी, उसे पढ़े , pg. 17-18 पर वे उस समय हुए एक वैज्ञानिक शोध का प्रमाण देते है -

Another great Egyptologist, Leonard Horner, between the years 1851 and 1854, had ninety-five shafts sunk in various parts of the Nile Valley. It is established that the Nile increases the depth of its alluvial bed by five inches in a century a depth which owing to compression should be less for the lower strata. Human and animal figures carved in granite, mosaics, and vases, were found at depths of seventy-five feet or less, and fragments of brick and pottery at greater depths. This takes us back some 17,000 or 18,000 years. At a depth of thirty three feet six inches a tablet was unearthed, bearing inscriptions which a simple calculation shows to have been nearly 8000 years old. The theory that the excavators may have hit, by chance, upon wells or cisterns must be abandoned, for the same state of affairs was proved to exist everywhere. These proofs, it may be remarked, furnish yet one more argument in support of the occultist traditions as regards the antiquity of human civilization. This prodi gious antiquity is also confirmed by the astro nomical observations of the ancients. There is, for example, a catalogue of stars known as the catalogue of Súrya-Siddhânta; and the differ ences in the position of eight of these fixed stars, taken at random, show that the Surya Siddhânta were made more than 58,000 years ago.

आगे वे अपना मत प्रस्तुत करते है जहा hindu literature को egyptians से भी उच्च कोटि का बतलाकर बड़े ही सुन्दर ढंग से उसकी प्रशंसा करते है -

It is true that we have not here, in this def inition of the Deity, the penetration and sub tlety, the metaphysical spaciousness, the hap piness of expression, the verbal magnificence in a word, the genius,-which we shall find in the Hindu definitions. The Egyptian temper ament is colder, drier, more sober, less grace ful, more realistic; it has a more concrete im agination, which is not fired by the inaccessible, the infinite, as is the spirit of the Asiatic peoples.

आगे Pg.23 पर वे Zoroastrianism मतवालो की कॉपी पेस्ट चालाकी को पकड़ते हुए उनके माने देवताओं को भी वैदिक सिद्ध होने से उनको हमारे पीछे उत्पन्न हुआ सिद्ध करते है अर्थात् वह वैदिक मत का सेक्ट तो कहला सकता है परंतु उससे पूर्व होना असिद्ध है , जो की सही भी है, इनके ग्रंथो में हमारे नाम मिलना इनकी नवीनता को ही प्रदर्शित कर देता है -

Modern science, as Edouard Schuré has dem onstrated, deriving his proofs from the schol arly research of Eugène Burnouf, Spiegel, James Darmesteter, and Harlez, declares that it is not possible to determine the period of the great Iranian philosopher who wrote the "Zend-Avesta"; but in any case he places him 2500 years B. c. Max Müller, on the other hand, gives us proof that Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, and his disciples lived in India. "Some of the Zoroastrian gods," he says, "are only reflections, distortions, of the primitive and authentic gods of the 'Vedas.""" Here, then, there is not the slightest doubt as to the priority of the Hindu books, and here at the same time is yet another confirma on of the fabulous antiquity of these books or traditions.

आगे वे Pg.24 पर कुछ अपने माने गए निष्पक्ष विचार लिखते है -

There are in India, it appears, more than twelve hundred texts of the "Vedas" and more than 350 of the "Laws of Manu," to say noth ing of those of the sacred books which the Brahmans have not surrendered to us; and it cannot be denied that there are obvious inter polations in these texts and in the doctrines which they contain.
