         Facts about India !
India
              It is the only society in the world
                which has never known slavery.

                India never invaded any country in
                   her last 10,000 years of history.

         India was the richest country on Earth until
       the time of the British in the early 17th Century

      Robert Clive’s personal wealth amassed from the
      blunder of Bengal during 1750’s was estimated at
                      around £401,102
It has been estimated that the total amount of treasure that
     the British looted from India had already reached
             £1,000,000,000 (£1Billion) by 1901.
    Taking into consideration interest rates and inflation
      this would be worth close to $1,000,000,000,000
               ($1Trillion) in real-terms today. Please click to advance >

Similarities to Biblical mythology
   The ancient Vedic Aryan Hindus (Indus Saraswati) spoke about a
        series of Ten Pitris who ruled before the global Flood.

     Ancient Babylonian legend speaks of a pre-Flood series of ten kings.

 The ancient Egyptians described Ten Shining Ones who ruled consecutively
                            before the Deluge.

 The last of these kings in the aforementioned lists was the hero who led seven
        others aboard a vessel in which they survived the global Flood.

  In ancient India, the hero was Manu who survived the global-Flood
                     "pralaya" with the Seven Rishis.

In ancient Babylon, the hero's name was Zisudra who spear-headed the survival
             on the Ark of seven other humans, the Seven Apkallu.

  In ancient Egypt, the Flood hero was Toth who survived the Deluge along
                            with the Seven Sages.

The words of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.
                                     “After many births the wise seek refuge in me,
                                     seeing me everywhere and in everything. Such
                                     great souls are very rare.”
                                     "Your very nature will drive you to fight, the only
                                     choice is what to fight against.”
                                     “On action alone be your interest, Never on its
                                     fruits.
                                     Let not the fruits of action be your motive,
                                     Nor be thy attachment to inaction. “
                                     “This is how actions were done by the ancient
                                     seekers of freedom; follow their example: act,
                                     surrendering the fruits of action.”
                                     “For certain is death for the born,
                                     and certain is birth for the dead;
                                     Therefore over the inevitable you should not
                                     grieve. “
                                     “For the uncontrolled there is no wisdom. For
                                     the uncontrolled there is no concentration, and
                                     for him without concentration, there is no peace.
                                     And for the unpeaceful how can there ever be
                                     happiness? “
Lord Krsna counsels Prince Arjuna    “When a man dwells on the objects of sense, he
                                     creates an attraction for them; attraction develops
during the Great Mahabharata War, in into desire, and desire breeds anger.“
