Released a booklet tilted "When was the First Vedic Homa Done?" on 27th December 2021. It traces the story of Agni as given in scriptures and and how and when the first Homa was done. From the narration of sage Markandeya found in the Mahabharata it is known that Skanda conducted the 'marriage' of Svāhā with Agni - symbolic of the beginning of the Vedic Homa.
The first copy of this book was presented to the Honorable Vice President of India, Sri. Venkaiah Naidu on 27th December 2021. I wish this copy reaches as many people as possible to spread the information about the beginnings of Vedic Homa.

(1) Is it possible that Scandinavia refers to Skanda's land? (2) Skanda's red hair as a genetic marker and red skin of some Europeans resulting from mutations of Skanda's skin are two ideas that warrant further study.
ReplyDelete@Shrinivas Tilak ji,
ReplyDelete(1) Yes. I have looked into that angle and written earlier https://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.com/2013/09/is-vedic-astrology-derived-from-greek_27.html
The very word Scandinavia was derived from Scany / Scania / Skaoan meaning damage, hurting, danger etc. Pliny the Elder has recorded so 2000 yrs ago! From this word 'Scathing' in English came. Scathing attack is what Skanda is very well known for. I have traced the route of the movement through Africa (Berbers).
(2) I have many evidences of which only a few were mentioned in this book. More will be written in another book on Indic Chronology to be published in 2023.
