Dear folks
The inveterate and consistent Great Liar K Rajaram ex-IRS 21 11 23 cannot
resist his despicable habit of spreading falsehoods, especially about the
source of many of the mathrams in his favourite arena -- the r'g-vedam.
For example, he writes:-
"*Gāyatrī (or Sāvitrī) is the most sacred verse of the Vedas. It reads as
follows: Tat saviturvarenyam, bhargo devasya dhīmahi, dhiyo yo naṇ
pracodayāt —‘We meditate on the adorable glory of the radiant sun. May he
direct our intellect!’ (R. III. Ixii. io)."*
He shamelessly hides the fact that the gayathri manthram as quoted by him
is copied word-for-word by the r'g-vedam from the yajur-veda
thaiththireeyna aaranyakam Cap I vv 39 and 40.
This is just one of the 900 and more instances, as admitted by him, of
holes in the Swiss cheese called r'g-vedam being filled by manthrams
filched from the yajur-vedam.
Another example of obvious lying is his doubtful claim:-
"*He created the Brāhmaṇa through Gāyatri, the Kṣatriya through Triṣṭubh,
and the Vaiśya through Jagatī’ (Va. IV. 3, adapted)."*
"Adapted" means he has messed about with the original text and shaped it to
suit his own claim.
A further example of the same is his boast in block capitals:-
" KR SO BHOOMI ANTARIKSHA AND DYAU MADE 8 SYLLABLES; RIC, YAJUR AND
SAMA MADE THE SECOND 8 SYLAABLES =TOTALLING 16}."
The illiterate idiot obviously cannot count:-
In fact, "ric, yajur, and saama" together have five syllables; the others
together have seven syllables, totalling twelve, not 16 syllables in all.
More examples of crass stupidity are not lacking, e.g:-
*"**The eye is truth, for the eye is indeed truth. Therefore, if even
to-day two persons come disputing, one saying, ‘I saw it,’ and another, ‘I
heard of it,’ we believe him only who says, ‘I saw it.’ That truth rests on
strength."*
A man who comes away from a concert of classical music would have HEARD the
music. But he could not SEE it. So, where is the truth? In the ear, or
in the eye?
Same with someone who goes to a shop to buy perfume for his wife or
mother. Does he rely upon hs EYE, or on his NOSE?
Indeed, the whole tangled and mangle response of the unschooled,
illiterate, uneducated and unteachable inveterate, persistent and
consistent Great Liar K Rajaram ex-IRS 21 11 23 can be dismissed as a
further example of his unloading a truckful of garbage on what he believes
is an unsuspecting audience,
