Why does the Vologda dialect need not be translated into Sanskrit?

A professor from India, who came to Vologda and did not know Russian, refused an interpreter a week later. "I myself understand enough Vologda residents," he said, "because they speak corrupted Sanskrit."

The Vologda ethnographer Svetlana Zharnikova was not at all surprised: "The present Indians and Slavs had one ancestral home and one proto-language - Sanskrit, - says Svetlana Vasilievna. - Our distant ancestors lived in Eastern Europe, approximately from modern Vologda to the coast of the Arctic Ocean." Candidate of Historical Sciences Svetlana Zharnikova wrote a monograph on the historical roots of North Russian folk culture. The book turned out to be thick.

The researcher of the ancient Indian epic Tilak in 1903 published his book "The Arctic Homeland in the Vedas" in Bombay. According to Tilak, the Vedas, created more than three thousand years ago, tell about the life of his distant ancestors near the Arctic Ocean. They describe endless summer days and winter nights, the North Star and the northern lights.

Ancient Indian texts say that in the ancestral home, where there are many forests and lakes, there are sacred mountains that divide the land into north and south, and rivers flowing to the north and flowing to the south. The river flowing into the south sea is called Ra (this is the Volga). And the one that flows into the Milky Sea or the White Sea is the Dvina (which in Sanskrit means "double"). The Northern Dvina does not really have its source - it arises from the confluence of two rivers: the South and the Sukhona. And the sacred mountains from the ancient Indian epic are very similar in description to the main watershed of eastern Europe - the Northern Uvaly, this giant arc of uplands that ran from Valdai to the northeast to the polar Urals.

Judging by the studies of paleoclimatologists, in those days, about which the Vedas narrate, the average winter temperature on the coast of the Arctic Ocean was 12 degrees higher than now. And life there in terms of climate is no worse than today in the Atlantic zones of western Europe. "The overwhelming majority of the names of our rivers can be simply translated from Sanskrit without distorting the language," says Svetlana Zharnikova. "Sukhona means" easily overcome ", Kubena means" winding ", Suda means a" stream ", Darida means" giving water ", Padma means" lotus, water lily ", Kusha -" sedge ", Syamzhena -" uniting people. "In the Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions, many rivers, lakes and streams are called Ganges, Shiva, Indiga, Indosat, Sindoshka, Indomanka. In my book thirty pages are occupied by these names in Sanskrit. And such names can be preserved only in that case - and this is already a law - if the people who gave these names are preserved. And if they disappear, then the names change."

The year before last, Svetlana Zharnikova accompanied an Indian folklore ensemble on a trip to Sukhona. The leader of this ensemble, Mrs. Mihra, was shocked by the ornaments on the Vologda national costumes. "These, she exclaimed enthusiastically," are found here in Rajasthan, and these are in Aris, and these ornaments are just like in Bengal. " It turned out that even the technology of embroidery of ornaments is called the same in the Vologda region and in India. Our craftswomen talk about the flat surface "chasing", and the Indian ones - "chikan".

The cold snap forced a significant part of the Indo-European tribes to look for new, more favorable territories for life in the west and south. The Deichev tribes went to Central Europe from the Pechora River, the Suekhan tribes from the Sukhona River, and the Vagan tribes from the Vagi. All these are the ancestors of the Germans. Other tribes settled on the Mediterranean coast of Europe and reached the Atlantic Ocean. They went to the Caucasus and even further south. Among those who came to the Indian subcontinent were the Krivi and Drava tribes - remember the Slavic Krivichi and Drevlyans.

According to Svetlana Zharnikova, at the turn of 4-3 millennia BC, the original Indo-European community of tribes began to split into ten language groups, which became the ancestors of all modern Slavs, all Romanic and Germanic peoples of Western Europe, Albanians, Greeks, Ossetians, Armenians, Tajiks, Iranians, Indians, Latvians and Lithuanians. "We are going through an absurd time," says Svetlana Vasilievna, "when ignorant politicians try to make peoples strangers to each other. It's a wild idea. No one is better or older than another, because everything is from one root."

It is interesting that the names of many rivers - "sacred krinits", found in the ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata", are also in our Russian North. Let's list those that match literally: Alaka, Anga, Kaya, Kuizha, Kushevanda, Kailasa, Saraga. But there are also the rivers Ganga, Gangreka, lakes Gango, Gangozero and many, many others.

Our contemporary, the outstanding Bulgarian linguist V. Georgiev, noted the following very important circumstance: “Geographic names are the most important source for determining the ethnogenesis of a given area. In terms of sustainability, these names are not the same, the most stable are the names of rivers, especially the main ones. " But in order to preserve the names, it is necessary to preserve the continuity of the population passing on these names from generation to generation. Otherwise, new peoples come and call everything in their own way. So, in 1927 a team of geologists "discovered" the highest mountain of the Subpolar Urals. It was called by the local Komi population Narada-Iz, Iz - in Komi - a mountain, a rock, but what Narada means - no one could explain. And the geologists decided in honor of the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution and, for clarity, to rename the mountain and call it Narodnaya. So it is now called in all gazetteers and on all maps. But the ancient Indian epic tells about the great sage and companion Narada, who lived in the North and transmitted the orders of the Gods to the people, and the requests of the people to the Gods.

The same idea was expressed back in the 20s of our century by the great Russian scientist Academician A. I. Sobolevsky in his article "Names of rivers and lakes of the Russian North": "The starting point of my work is the assumption that two groups of names are related to each other and belong to the same language of the Indo-European family, which I for now, until looking for a more suitable term, I call "Scythian." came to the conclusion that they are based on some kind of Indo-Iranian language.

The names of some North Russian rivers: Vel; Valga; Indiga, Indoman; Lala; Sukhona; Padmo.

The meanings of words in Sanskrit: Vel - border, limit, river bank; Valgu is pleasant beautiful; Indu is a drop; Lal - to play, to flow; Suhana - easily overcome; Padma - water lily flower, lily, lotus.

"So what's the matter and how did Sanskrit words and names get to the Russian North?" - you ask. The point is that they did not come from India to the Vologda, Arkhangelsk, Olonets, Novgorod, Kostroma, Tver and other Russian lands, but quite the opposite.

Note that the most recent event described in the epic "Mahabharata" is a grand battle between the peoples of the Pandavas and the Kauravas, which is believed to have occurred in 3102 BC. e. on Kurukshetra (Kursk field). It is from this event that traditional Indian chronology begins the countdown of the worst time cycle - Kaliyuga (or the time of the kingdom of the goddess of death Kali). But at the turn of the 3-4th millennium BC. e. There were no tribes who spoke Indo-European languages (and, of course, Sanskrit) on the Indian subcontinent yet, They came there much later. Then a natural question arises: where did they fight in 3102 BC? e., that is, five millennia ago?

At the beginning of our century, the outstanding Indian scientist Bal Gangadhar Tilak tried to answer this question by analyzing ancient texts in his book "The Arctic Homeland in the Vedas", which was published in 1903. In his opinion, the homeland of the ancestors of the Indo-Iranians (or, as they called themselves, the Aryans) was in the North of Europe, somewhere near the Arctic Circle. This is evidenced by the extant legends about the year, which is divided into a light and dark half, about the freezing Sea of Milk, above which the Northern Lights ("Blistavitsy") sparkle, about the constellations not only of the polar, but also of the polar latitudes circling on a long winter night around the Pole Star … Ancient texts talked about the spring melting of snow, about the never-setting summer sun, about mountains stretching from west to east and dividing rivers into flowing north (into the Sea of Milk) and flowing south (into the South Sea).

Universal word

Let's take for example the most famous Russian word of our century “satellite”. It consists of three parts: a) “s” is a prefix, b) “put” is a root and c) “nik” is a suffix. The Russian word “put” is the same for many other languages of the Indo-European family: path in English and “path” in Sanskrit. That's all. The similarity between Russian and Sanskrit goes further, can be seen at all levels. The Sanskrit word "pathik" means "one who walks the path, a traveler." The Russian language can form words such as "path" and "traveler". The most interesting thing in the history of the word "sputnik" in Russian. The semantic meaning of these words in both languages is the same: "one who follows the path with someone else."

The Russian word "seen" and "soonu" in Sanskrit. Also “madiy” is “son” in Sanskrit can be compared with “mou” in Russian and “mu” in English. But only in Russian and Sankrit should “mou” and “madiy” be changed into “moua” and “madiya”, since we are talking about the word “snokha” referring to the feminine gender. The Russian word “snokha” is the Sanskrit “snukha”, which can be pronounced in the same way as in Russian. The relationship between a son and a son's wife is also described by similar words in the two languages. Could there be a greater similarity somewhere? It is unlikely that there are two more different languages that have preserved the ancient heritage - such a close pronunciation - to the present day.

Here is another Russian expression: “That vash dom, etot nash dom”. In Sanskrit: “Tat vas dham, etat nas dham”. “Tot” or “tat” is the singular demonstrative in both languages and indicates an object from the outside. The Sanskrit “dham” is the Russian “dom”, possibly due to the fact that there is no aspirated “h” in Russian.

Young languages of the Indo-European group, such as English, French, German and even Hindi, which directly descends to Sanskrit, must use the verb “is”, without which the above sentence cannot exist in any of these languages. Only Russian and Sanskrit do without the “is” verb, while remaining perfectly correct both grammatically and ideomatically. The word “is” itself is similar to “est” in Russian and “asti” in Sanskrit. Moreover, the Russian “estestvo” and the Sanskrit “astitva” mean “existence” in both languages. Thus, it becomes clear that not only the syntax and word order are similar, the very expressiveness and spirit are preserved in these languages in an unchanged initial form.

Here is a simple and very useful rule of Panini grammar. Panini shows how six pronouns are transformed into adverbs of tense by simply adding “-da”. In modern Russian, only three of Panini's six Sanskrit examples remain, but they follow this 2600-year-old rule. Here they are:

Sanskrit pronouns: kim; tat; sarva

Corresponding meaning in Russian: which, which; that; all

Sanskrit adverbs: kada; tada; sada

Corresponding meaning in Russian: when; then; always

The letter “g” in the Russian word usually denotes the combination into one whole of parts that existed separately before that.

Reflection of common linguistic roots in Russian toponymy.

In toponymy (that is, in place names), the picture is reflected no less fully than in the Mahabharata and in the Srimad Bhagavatam. In addition, the geographical names of the multi-tribal Empire reflect the inexhaustible depth of the unified philosophical Knowledge of our ancestors.

Arya - literally so until today two cities are called: in the Nizhny Novgorod and in the Yekaterinburg region.

Omsk, a Siberian city on the Om River, is the transcendental mantra "Om". The city of Oma and the river Oma are in the Arkhangelsk region.

Chita is a city in Transbaikalia. The exact translation from Sanskrit is "to comprehend, understand, observe, know". Hence the Russian word "read".

Achit is a city in the Sverdlovsk region. Translated from Sanskrit - "ignorance, stupidity".

Moksha is the name given to two rivers, in Mordovia and in the Ryazan region. The Vedic term "moksha", translated from Sanskrit - "liberation, departure to the Spiritual World."

Kryshneva and Hareva are two small tributaries of the Kama River, bearing the Names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead - Kryshen and Hari. Please note that the name of the "Christian sacrament" of the consecration of food and the sacrament is "Eucharist". And these are three Sanskrit words: "ev-Hari-isti" - "the custom of Hari to donate food." For Jesus brought from Hindustan, where He studied from the age of 12, 5, not some newly invented religion of his own Name, but pure Vedic Knowledge and rituals and told his disciples their ancient Aryan names. And only then they were deliberately perverted by our geopolitical adversary and used against Risshi-ki as an ideological weapon.

Kharino - a town in the Perm region and two ancient villages are named after this Kryshnya name: In the Nekrasovsky district of the Yaroslavl region and in the Vyaznikovsky district of the Vladimir region.

Hari-kurk is the name of the strait in Estonia at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga. The exact translation is "chanting Hari".

Sukharevo is a village in the Mytishchi region near Moscow, the most sacred place of Bharata-varsha. Today, the Vedic Temple of the Roof was revived here. In translation from Sanskrit "Su-Hare" - "possessing the power of loving service to the Roof". The territory of this temple is washed by the mouth of a small sacred river Kirtida, named after the Goddess of the Seas (translated from Sanskrit - "giving praise"). Five thousand one hundred years ago, Kirtida adopted the little Goddess Rada-Rani (Rada who descended).

The cult of the Goddess Rada was much more widespread in Russia than even the cult of the Roof himself, just as it is today in the sacred places of Hindustan.

Kharampur is a city and a river in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The exact translation is "led by the Goddess Hara".

Sanskrit and Russian

When analyzing them, some surprise arises from the similarity of many words. There is no doubt that Sanskrit and Russian are languages that are very close in spirit. What is the main language? A nation that does not know its past has no future. In our country, for a number of specific reasons, the knowledge of our roots, the knowledge of where we come from, has been lost. The connecting thread that held all people together into a single whole was destroyed. The ethnic collective consciousness was dissolved in cultural ignorance. Analyzing historical facts, analyzing the scriptures of the Vedas, one can come to the conclusion that there was an ancient Vedic civilization earlier. Consequently, it can be expected that traces of this civilization remain in the cultures of the whole world to this day. And now there are many researchers who find this kind of features in the cultures of the world. The Slavs belong to the family of Indo-European, Indo-Iranian, or as the Aryan peoples are now called. And their past has nothing to do with a pagan or barbarian culture. There is such a significant similarity between the Russian and Indian souls as an irrepressible striving for spiritual horizons. This can be easily observed from the history of these countries. Sanskrit and Russian. The meaning of vibrations. We all know that speech is the expression of the culture of its speakers. Any speech is a certain sound vibration. And our material universe also consists of sound vibrations. According to the Vedas, the source of these vibrations is Brahma, who, through the pronunciation of certain sounds, creates our universe with all its types of living beings. It is believed that the sounds emanating from Brahman are the sounds of Sanskrit. Thus, the sound vibrations of Sanskrit have a transcendental spiritual basis. Therefore, if we come into contact with spiritual vibrations, then the program of spiritual development is activated in us, our heart is purified. And these are scientific facts. Language is a very important factor in influencing culture, the formation of culture, the formation and development of the people. In order to elevate a people or, on the contrary, lower it, it is enough to introduce appropriate sounds or corresponding words, names, terms into the language system of this people. Researches of scientists about Sanskrit and Russian. The first Italian traveler Philip Socetti, who visited India 400 years ago, addressed the topic of the similarity of Sanskrit with world languages. After his travels, Socetti left a work on the similarity of many Indian words to Latin. The next was the Englishman William Jones. William Jones knew Sanskrit and studied a significant part of the Vedas. Jones concluded that Indian and European languages are related. Friedrich Bosch - a German scholar - philologist in the middle of the 19th century wrote a work - a comparative grammar of the Sanskrit, Zen, Greek, Latin, Old Slavonic, German languages. The Ukrainian historian, ethnographer and researcher of Slavic mythology Georgy Bulashov, in the preface of one of his works, where the analysis of the Sanskrit and Russian languages is carried out, writes - “all the main foundations of the language of clan and tribal life, mythological and poetic works are the property of the entire group of Indo-European and Aryan peoples … And they come from that distant time, a living memory of which has survived to our time in the most ancient hymns and rituals, the sacred books of the ancient Indian people, known as the “Vedas.” Thus, by the end of the last century, the studies of linguists showed that the fundamental principle of Indo-European languages is Sanskrit, the oldest of all dialects.”Russian scientist folklorist A. Gelferding (1853, St. Petersburg) in a book about the relationship of the Slavic language with Sanskrit, writes:“The Slavic language in all its dialects has preserved the roots and words that exist in Sanskrit. In this respect, the closeness of the compared languages is extraordinary. The languages of Sanskrit and Russian do not differ from each other by any permanent, organic changes in sounds. Slavic does not have a single feature alien to Sanskrit. " Professor from India, linguist, great expert on Sanskrit dialects, dialects, dialects, etc. Durgo Shastri, at the age of 60, came to Moscow. He did not know Russian. But a week later he refused to use a translator, arguing that he himself understands Russian enough, since Russians speak spoiled Sanskrit. When he heard Russian speech, he said that - "you speak one of the ancient dialects of Sanskrit, which used to be widespread in one of the regions of India, but is now considered extinct." At a conference in 1964, Durgo presented a paper in which he gave many reasons that Sanskrit and Russian are related languages, and that Russian is a derivative of Sanskrit. Russian ethnographer Svetlan Zharnikova, candidate of historical sciences. The author of the book - On the historical roots of the North Russian folk culture, 1996. Quotes - the overwhelming majority of the names of our rivers can be translated from Sanskrit without distorting the language. Sukhona - from Sanskrit means easily overcome. Cubena is winding. The ships are a stream. Darida is the giver of water. Padma is a lotus. Kama is love, attraction. There are many rivers and lakes in the Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions - the Ganges, Shiva, Indigo, etc. In the book, 30 pages are occupied by these Sanskrit names. And the word Rus comes from the word Russia - which in Sanskrit means holy or light. Modern scholars attribute most of the European languages to the Indo-European group, defining Sanskrit as the closest to the universal proto-language. But Sanskrit is a language that no people in India have ever spoken. This language has always been the language of scholars and priests, much like Latin for Europeans. This is a language artificially introduced into the life of the Hindus. But how then did this artificial language appear in India? The Hindus have a legend that says that once upon a time they came from the North, because of the Himalayas, to them seven white teachers. They gave the Hindus a language (Sanskrit), gave them the Vedas (the very famous Indian Vedas) and thus laid the foundations of Brahmanism, which is still the most widespread religion in India, and from which Buddhism in turn emerged. Moreover, this is a fairly well-known legend - it is studied even in Indian theosophical universities. Many Brahmans consider the Russian North (the northern part of European Russia) to be the ancestral home of all mankind. And they go to our north on a pilgrimage, as Muslims go to Mecca. Sixty percent of Sanskrit words coincide in meaning and pronunciation with Russian words completely. Natalya Guseva, an ethnographer, doctor of historical sciences, a well-known expert on the culture of India, the author of more than 160 scientific works on the culture and ancient forms of religion of the Hindus, spoke about this for the first time. Once one of the respected scientists of India, whom Guseva accompanied on a tourist trip along the rivers of the Russian North, in communication with the locals refused to use an interpreter and, having sobbed, remarked to Natalya Romanovna that he was happy to hear living Sanskrit! From that moment on, her study of the phenomenon of the similarity of the Russian language and Sanskrit began. And, indeed, it is surprising: somewhere, far in the south, beyond the Himalayas, there are peoples of the Negroid race, the most educated representatives of which speak a language close to our Russian language. Moreover, Sanskrit is close to Russian in the same way as, for example, Ukrainian is close to Russian. There can be no question of any other such close coincidence of words between Sanskrit and any other language except Russian. Sanskrit and Russian are related, and if we assume that Russian, as a representative of the family of Indo-European languages, originated from Sanskrit, then it is also true that Sanskrit originated from Russian. So, at least, the ancient Indian legend says. There is another factor in favor of this statement: as the famous philologist Alexander Dragunkin says, a language derived from any other language always turns out easier: fewer verbal forms, shorter words, etc. Man here follows the path of least resistance. Indeed, Sanskrit is much simpler than Russian. So we can say that Sanskrit is a simplified Russian language, frozen in time for 4-5 thousand years. And the hieroglyphic writing of Sanskrit, according to academician Nikolai Levashov, is nothing more than the Slavic-Aryan runes, slightly modified by the Hindus. The Russian language is the most ancient language on Earth and the closest to the language that served as the basis for most of the world's languages. Related books: Adelung F.
