| The Himalayas were not there in the days of the Vedas, because the original Rig Veda never talks about them. It is impossible not to talk about the Himalayas if they are there – impossible! How can you neglect the Himalayas? And the Vedas go on talking about other things, but they never talk about the Himalayas. Because of this, Lokmanya Tilak decided that the Vedas were created at least seventy-five thousand years ago. It looks meaningful, it may be so; they may not have been written so far back, but they must have existed in oral form for many thousands of years. That's why the Himalayas are not mentioned there... --Osho The Mustard Seed, ch. 7 |
