According to the Vedas, is the solar eclipse caused by a demon?

Written By : Vedic Dharmi Ashish 

     Often the opponents of Vedic Dharma accuse the Vedas that according to the Vedas, a demon swallows the sun, which leads to a solar eclipse.

These people show wrong translation of Rigveda (5/40/5) to prove their point.

Wrong Translation Of Rigveda(5/40/5)

Many Hindi commentator of Vedas and even ancient commentator Acharya Sayana has also misinterpreted it.

Deliberately did not reveal the meaning of the word 'स्वर्भानु', deliberately did not reveal the meaning of the word 'असुर' and inserted the mythological concept of puranas in the translation of Vedas.

The Vedas should be explained as per the context.Here the context is about natural phenomena, so the explanation should also be accordingly.

Now let us present its real meaning.

In reality the word 'स्वर्भानु असुर' which covers the sun in darkness does not mean any demon here.

Unadi Sutra Of Panini (3/32)

According to Unadi Sutra of Maharishi Panini, the meaning of "स्वर्भानु" is that which is illuminated in the sky by the light of the sun is called "स्वर्भानु".

स्वर्भानु= स्वर+भानु according to Chhandogya Upanishad (1/3/2) "स्वर" means sun and "भानु" means light. So "स्वर्भानु असुर" means the "Asura" which illuminates by Sun's light. 

And the word "Asura" means one which filled with darkness itself.This is the proof on this- "असुर्या नाम ते लोका अन्धेन तमसावृताः" (Yajurveda 40/3), असुर्या वै रात्रि (Maitrayani Samhita 1/8/6) - That is, the element which surrounded by darkness i.e. unenlightened is called “Asurya” and the word "Asur" comes from the word “Asurya”(असुर्या असुराशब्दाच्चतुर्थ्येकवचनस्य यादेशः - Sayana Commentry Of Rigveda 7/96/1)

So it means the real meaning of "स्वर्भानु असुर" means that thing which is illuminated by the sunlight but does not have its own light.And that object is none other than the moon. And because of the Moon the Sun gets covered in darkness which we call solar eclipse.

Similarly, in Shatapatha Brahmana also we find a similar explanation regarding solar eclipse.

Shatpath Brahman(1/6/4/18)

Here also the moon has been given the adjective of "Vritra Asur" and it has been explained that the moon enters in front of the sun.

And Moon has been given the adjective of Vritra because according to Nirukta (2/17) "वृत्रो वृणोतेर्वा"meaning- that which covers is called Vritra.The Moon covers the Sun causing a solar eclipse, hence the Moon has been given the epithet of Vritra.

Conclusion:  science of nature has been explained in such a scientific manner in the Vedas and its Brahmin texts but these Islamic idiots show wrong translation etc to spread false propaganda against the Vedas.

WOMEN IN THE VEDAS

  Written By - Vedic Dharmi Ashish  Wisdom of women in Vedas: Often, this kind of false propaganda is spread by heretics like Muslims, Christians, New Buddhists that it is written in the Vedas that women have small intelligence.And to prove this, these people give evidence from Rigveda (8/33/17). Now let us review this mantra. Wrong Translation Of Rigveda (8/33/17) There are two words in this mantra of Rigveda "क्रतुं रघुम्" which has been misinterpreted by many Hindi commentators That women have less intelligence. For this reason, along with the contradiction in context of the interpretation of this mantra, there is also a contradiction in this interpretation with other Veda mantras. In fact, if we understand the context of this mantra, we will know the true meaning of the word "रघुम्" here. It is written in this mantra that Lord Indra has said that- "it is difficult for any person to control the mind of women."  Now all of you think that if in this mant

Flat Earth In Vedas (Debunked)

  Written by - Vedic Dharmi Ashish Four Corners Of Earth In Vedas (Debunked): vedkabhed website तथा आज कल के विधर्मियों के अनुसार यजुर्वेद के ब्राह्मण ग्रंथ शतपथ ब्राह्मण (6/1/2/29) और ऋग्वेद (10/58/3) के मंत्रों में चार कोने की धरती लिखा हैं, ऐसा झूठे दावे करते हैं।       Shatpath Brahmana (6/1/2/29)        वास्तव में शतपथ ब्राह्मण (6/1/2/29) के मंत्र में यहां पृथ्वी की नहीं अपितु यज्ञ वेदी की बात चल रही है। हम जानते हैं कि साहित्य में कोई बात को समझाने के लिए उपमा का प्रयोग होता हैं। उसी तरह यहां पर यज्ञ वेदी को ही पृथ्वी का उपमा दिया गया हैं क्यों कि यज्ञ वेदी पृथ्वी से ही बनती हैं इसलिए बोला गया हैं की जिस प्रकार पृथ्वी का चार दिशाएं होती हैं उसी प्रकार यज्ञ वेदी का चार कोने होते हैं। यहां पृथ्वी की दिशाओं का उपमा दिए गए हैं।  इस कंडिका से पृथ्वी का चार कोने सिद्ध नहीं होते चूँकि चारों दिशाएँ किसी भौतिक रूप में मौजूद नहीं हैं, इसलिए वे किसी भी वस्तु के कोने नहीं हो सकते हैं।     Satpath brahman (7/1/1/37) अब देखिए उसी शतपथ ब्राह्मण में ही साफ साफ पृथ्वी लोक को गोल बताया गया हैं। शत

Controversy Of Brahma & Saraswati

Image
Written by - Vedic Dharmi Ashish       Brahma is often accused by heretics of having sexual intercourse with his daughter.First of all, these people try to prove their allegation by giving evidence of imaginary stories of fake 18 Puranas, which is meaningless And they are also trying to run their shops of lies by misinterpreting the metaphorical topics of Vedas, Brahmin texts and Upanishads. First of all, I would want to clarify one thing that these 18 fake Puranas are not religious texts of Sanatan Vedic Dharma, they have been written by communal hypocrites like Vaishnavs, Shaivas, Shaktas and Vam margis etc of Gupta and medieval period. In these non-Vedic texts, the Vedas and other metaphorical Vedic subjects have been distorted and many types of imaginary stories have been created. Therefore, there are many contradictions within these mythological false Pauranik stories. Nirukta(3/4) Those foolish heretical people who try to prove that there is a provision for sexual intercourse wit
