The Vedic tradition produced an even larger body of literature<br \/>from the beginning of the Rig Veda to the end of the classical period, so it would<br \/>probably require at least 1,300 years for the Vedic tradition to generate a larger amount of literature. If we take 1,600 BC as the minimum date of the Mahabharata, this would  put the beginning of the Vedic tradition sometime before 2,900 BC. If we take Wintenitz\u2019s estimate of at least 1,900 years, this would put the beginning of the Rig Veda before 3,500 BC.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Frawley and Rajaram, as well as many others, now put the date of the Mahabharata<br \/>war at about 3,000 BC (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi also gives this date in his commentary<br \/>on the Bhagavad Gita). If we add 1,900 years incubation time as Winternitz estimates,<br \/>this would put the dates of the Rig Veda back before 4,900 BC.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the photo taken by my brother about my son taking a photo of the statue of Brihaspathi, the preceptor of the celestials, in Ancient Siam, in Thailand.
