Yes, the texts are very rigorous too. Often introducing topics which you might learn in a graduate philosophy course in university now.
We however don't seek to convert people
because we don't believe in a linear conception of life, we believe in reincarnation
Was the yes to that the Brahmins were all knowledgeable?
certainly some could make mistakes, but the scriptures are passed down from divinity
Surya a deva (something like the western angel) passed this down to the first man (literally called Manush).
The etymology of the word man basically comes from the sanskrit Manush.
And all European language stems from ancient Vedic sanskrit.
I have heard that myth.
Before.
it's not a myth
But that is a tanget.
When were these books written?
Exactly.
the estimates vary from 1500-6000 years ago, depending on whether you take sculptures in temples as writings as well
bc
the earliest I think was written right around when Christ was around
there are actually Dharmic writings being written today too, but it's mostly commentary
Give me the date of the holy scriptures from which you extrapolate your morals for example. When were they written?
@Richard Rock Rig Veda has a lot of duties. Basically monogamy, anti homosexuality, anti adultery, anti pederasty, pro large family building, anti mixing races and blood etc.
Okay, who exactly wrote it, when and where?
many many people, you can google the succession of Brahmin masters and gurus
Were they all deemed to be all-knowledgeable?
the most recent translation of the Bhagavad Gita in its authentic form was done by the last traditional Guru I know of Prabhupada
not all knowledgeable, but the scriptures had passed down from Surya, and other devas
a deva is basically an angel of God
a servant
Sir, are you tellling me that you are getting your morals from non-all knowledgeable fallable men?
Also the rules and duties depend on the age you live in
in our age, the Kali Yuga, most duties which were given to past age peoples could not even be followed because of our low lifespans
No, ultimately this knowledge all comes from God. The Bhagavad Gita contains within it a physical manifestation of God, who lectures the great warrior Arjuna on piety and morals.
The Gita is the most relevant because it is a way for us to liberate ourselves from the material illusory world in this age, the Kali Yuga or the age of wickedness and sin.
Did Arjuna write the Bhagavad Gita down?
Was he all knowledgeable, or did God, make him, by his almighty power, not forget what he was learned.
Sage Veda Vyasa did.
@Richard Rock it's by God's influence that the scriptures continue to circulate
Was Sage Veda Vyasa all knowledgeable?
no
From whom did he get his knowledge? Arjuna?
