Vedic Period - Its beyond any calculation by Western 'scholars'

--Based on Sri Krishna Premi Swamigal's "Veda Vignanam".

There are lot of articulations on Vedic Period by different people. However, none of those theories are proved till date. Since not proved till date, they are just staying as a mere thoughts and opinions. In other words, it is just an assumption that Veda might have appeared before certain number of years. Noone is able to substantiate the time period yet. Some western scholars opin that Vedic period could be during 2000 BC. It is noted that it has been just 7000 years since the inception of world, as per Christianity. It could be due to a short vision or narrow attitude to encapsulate all world cultures within that time period. Only the scientists who conclude based on facts can tell the true facts without discrimination. There are many ideas from different archeological experts around the world. Scientists who studied the changes in the temperature, reflectivity of materials and elements, say that the age of the world is around 24 Lakhs. Scientists whose work are based on the depth of the earth and rate of increase of salt in ocean, suggest that the earth's age is 10 Crore years. Radiology Scientists find that it has been 15,07,00,000 years since the formation of earth, by using radio carbon techniques.

We are following Manvantharas and Punyakalas as per our vedic calender. The current Manvanthara is Vaivasvatha. So far 1,95,58,85,500 years have passed in this Manvanthara and there are 2,16,00,00,000 years remaining. This is just the calculations for Vaivasvatha Manvanthara, not the entire formation of earth. Svayambuvam, svarosisham, uttamam, tamasam, raivatham and chakshusham are the manvantaras that have passed before the current one. Puranas say 71 chaturyugas make a Manvantara. As per them, during Swayambuva manvantara, Sri Varahamurthi recovered the earth from its celestial avalanche. So the Indian astrological experts have calculated that period as Swetha Varaha Kalpa.

With all these points, it is wrong to restrict entire earth withing a period of 7000 years.

The archeological scientists mention that earth slips from its axis at north pole once in 10000 years which cause a massive snowfall and ice formation. This is referred to as Himapadam in Veda. In his book 'Orayan', Bala Gangadara Thilak mentions that , since there are many references for such Himapadas in Veda, Veda could have been appeared before the first such Himapada. Similarly, many scholars like Babu Avinash Chandradas MA in his 'Rikvedhika India', Narayanabavan Rao in his 'Arya varthan thil aryasi janma Bhumi', Umesha Chandra Vidyaratna in his 'Men were Adi Janmabhumi', have estimated the vedic period in many ways. Bala Gangadara Thilak researched the time frame of Vedic period by studying the pace of Aswini Stars and opposed the theories of westerners.
