The four Vedas (Universal wisdom) are the detail explanation of the Vedic Sanatan Dharma (the flow of cosmic energy) which is strictly followed by Indian Hindus and other religious sects. It is the key of the whole human civilization; hub of all the discoveries, essence of whole existence. Vedas are but the science of life and the world. Born in Damauli Nepal, Veda Vyasa is the compiler of the four Vedas- Rig-Veda, Ayurveda, Samveda, and Atharveda. He is also the compiler of Great Epic Mahabharata, 18 Purina and Vedanta sutras. He is believed to be the incarnation of supreme Narayana and also considered to be one of the Chiranjivis (immortals). The festival of Guru Purnima is dedicated to him.
Crystal clear evidence shows that Veda Vyasa was born in Damauli of Nepal as the son of Matsyagandha (Satyawati) and Parisar Rishi. The ancient mythology says "Parisar Rishi was lured by a beautiful girl (who was ferrying the saint) and enticed for love- making. Matsyagandha denied as she was too young for love making and people could see at day time. Parisar sage instantly created cloud in the surrounding and prepared nice environment for love making. As a result, Veda Vyasa was born as human being". Unfortunately, Google and Wiki shows (birth place of Veda Vyasa) Kalpi, India. Westerners should explore the facts rather just listening cunning Indians' statement. One can see Vyasa cave in Damauli in the confluence of Seti and Madi River as stated in the ancient Sanskrit verses. May all researchers come to Damauli and see the clear evidence that shuts India's mouth.
The both inscription and Puran verses explains that Veda Vyasa was born in Damauli- Nepal. Hence, residing inside the cave he compiled the 4 Vedas and 18 Puranas. In fact, he was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu himself who came in the beginning of Dwaparyuga to make all the Vedic wisdom in written form. Before his deed, Vedic wisdom was available only in sound form. He scripted Vedas in Sanskrit language in order to allow people understand the divine wisdom. It is the holiest and oldest book ever made for mankind. They have words called ‘mantras’ which are chanted in religious ceremonies. The Vedas contain hymns, incantation and instruction for rituals / daily life. Indeed, it is the constitution of human beings- coeval with the universe. May you understand that Vyasa is not the name but the title given to the person who is knower of every-thing. Shree Krishna Dwapayan, the 28th Veda Vyasa was born in Damauli Nepal and other 27 Veda Vyasas were also born in Nepal.
Nepal is the land of Devas, saints and sages who gave immense contribution to the entire human civilization. What we are now is because of their great penance. The Greater Nepal had spread from Mt. Kailash- Kashmir- Uttarkhand- Panjab- Agra- Calcutta till eastern Sikkim- almost half of today’s India. No doubt- India has deep rooted relationship with Nepal from the very beginning- culturally, socially, politically and spiritually. But, we must not forget that almost all the saint and sages were born in the pious land of Nepal.
The Patanjali Yoga Sutra is the most translated ancient Indian texts in the medieval era even to old Javanese and Arabic languages. It is the foundation of entire yoga-meditation schools and the source of inspiration for all the spiritual practitioners. But it is shame that they are unknown about the birth place of Yogi Patanjali. May the researchers come and explore the fact that Yogi Patanjali (the father of yoga-meditation) was born around 500 BC in Himwatkhanda, surrounding of Bhojpur district of Nepal. You know! 1500 BC is considered as the modern time in Nepal. It is so sad that westerners did not know about Yog-Dhyan till Swami Vivekananda delivered lecture at the parliament of the world's religion in Chicago in 1993. May all of you understand that Swami Vivekananda was not a Hindu or an Indian but an ardent follower of Vedic Sanatan Dharma (universal religion) born in West Bengal which is inside Greater Nepal. His teachings were based on Vedic texts, Bhagawat Geeta and Patanjali Yog-Sutara. Long later, westerners started realizing the inevitability of Yog-Dhyan for a peaceful life only after late 70's / 80's. And, now entire humanity is in thirst for drinking elixir of Yog-Dhyan (Yoga-Meditation).
The Myth narrates: Yogi Patanjali fell from heaven in the form of little snake into the upturned Palms (a gesture known as Anjali) of his virgin mother name Gonika- herself a powerful Yogi. Indeed, He is regarded as an incarnation of the serpent King Ananta. Long ago, all the Rishimunis approached Narayana to tell that even though he (incarnated as Lord Dhanwantari- Pioneer of Ayurveda) gave the knowledge of Ayurveda to cure illness but people were still ill. Realizing, illness is not only related to human bodies but the emotional condition of mind and soul too. So, how to cure mental/ emotional illness dealing with greed-lust-ego, anger? How to get rid of from all these impurities? Hearing solemn appeal of Rishimunis Narayana came down on earth as Yogi Patanjali in order to teach the healthy way of living- mentally and spiritually. Many have assumed mythic dimension regarding the birth of Yogi Patanjali. This is because- anonymity is typical of the great saints and sages. They come down on earth to perform Dharma (duties and responsibility) in order to re-track human civilization only not to receive credit for themselves.
Patanjali Yog Sutra (formulae, containing 196 verses in Sanskrit language, is the detailed teachings of Yog-Dhyan compiled by Yogi Patantanjali emerged in Himwatkhanda-Nepal. The principle of Yog Sutra is; (a) "atha Yog Anusasanam" to live in discipline is Yoga. (b) "Yogaha Chitta Britti Nirodha: which means controlling of thoughts is Yog. (c) Yog is a journey of the self- through the self and to the self. (d) Yoga is a philosophy of life- way of living and the key for happiness and peace. (e) For a complete health (physical-mental- spiritual) human must practice Hathyog that includes all eight limbs; Yama (self restrain), Niyama (scriptural rules), Asanas (physical fitness), Pranayama (breathing exercise), Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), Dharna (concentration), Dhyan (meditation) and Samadhi (salvation). Thus, Yoga Sutra is a road map to understand universal consciousness through yoga-meditation and spiritual practices. It explains all the life quests as; why do we suffer? Who are we? What is the purpose of life? How to connect with the Almighty Creator? etc.
