All religions are one and are derived from Vedic Sanatana Dharma. Famous historian P.N. Oak claimed that the word Vatican originally came from the sanskrit word "Vatika", that "Christianity" came from the sanskrit words "Krishna-neeti", ("ethics of Krishna" or "the way of Krishna"), and that "Abraham" came from the sanskrit word "Brahma". He further claims that both Christianity and Islam originated as distortions of Vedic beliefs.
Vatican Church Compound Shaped as a Shiva Linga
Compare the two pictures below and you can see a striking similarity between the shapes of a shiva linga and the vatican church compound. Further if we look closer, we even see a perfect tripundra and bindu incorporated into their design.
In the following pictures let us compare the tripundra (three lines worn by Lord Shiva as tilak).
The word 'Vatican' itself is derived from the sanskrit word Vatika or Vatica, which means vedic cultural or religious centers. In sanskrit the word Vatika is used to describe a place, such as Ananda-Vatika, Ashrama-Vatika, Yagna-Vatika, etc. Such words and discoveries prove that the Vatican was a Hindu (Vedic) religious center before its incumbent was forced to accept Christianity from 1st century AD. Also, according to some reports, a Shiva linga was found during the excavation and is kept for display at Gregorian Etruscan Museum in Rome (details below). Hindustan indeed was Virat.
Siva Linga at Gregorian Etruscan Museum, Vatican City (Vatika)
This Siva Lingam is exhibited in Gregorian Etruscan Museum, Vatican City. This has the most important Etruscan collection in Rome, starting with early Iron Age objects from the 9th century BC. Encyclopedia Britannica mentions under the headings "Etruria" and "Etruscan" that between the 2nd and 7th centuries BC, northern Italy was known as Etruria. During archaeological excavations many such "meteoric stones mounted on carved pedestals (Siva Lingas on bases)" have been discovered in Italy. This Siva Lingam was dug-up from Vatican City itself. Many more must be lying buried under the Vatican's massive walls and numerous cellars.
P.N. Oak's Theories on Vedic Roots of World Religions
P.N. Oak claims that Christianity and Islam are both derivatives of Hinduism, and that the Catholic Vatican, Kaaba and the Taj Mahal were once Hindu temples to Shiva. In his book, "Some Missing Chapters of World History", Oak claimed that the first civilisation was developed in India from which all world civilisations grew. He wrote books on this subject in three languages.
Intent on rectifying what he believed to be "biased and distorted versions of India's history produced by the invaders and colonizers", Oak has written several books and articles on Indian history and founded the "Institute for Rewriting Indian History" in 1964. According to Oak, modern secular and Marxist historians have fabricated "idealized versions" of India's past and drained it of its "Vedic context and content".
Oak claims that Christianity was originally a Vedic religion following Krishna and claims that Christianity was originally known by either the names Chrisna-nity or Krishna-neeti (with Oak stating these meant "The way of Krishna" or "The ethics of Lord Krishna"). These generally follow in line with Oak's other theories and claims that the Vatican was originally called Vatika and that the Papacy was originally a "Vedic Priesthood" until Constantine the Great around 312 A.D killed the "Vedic pointiff" and installed in his place a representative of the tiny Christian sect. Oak also makes the claim that "Jesus went to India between ages 13 and 30 to learn Krishna-neeti (Christianity) from sages."
Amen comes from Aum
When the Christians say “Amen” at the end of their hymns or to emphasize something, what they are saying is a corrupted form of "Aum" or "Om," which is the standard Vedic form of addressing the Supreme Being through sound.
In the bible it is said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." That primordial divine word, which is one with God, is the Vedic syllable "Aum". God manifests in creation as the Cosmic Vibration, which expresses itself as Cosmic Sound and Cosmic Light. The Cosmic Sound or Aum is the synthesis of all the sounds of the universe.

Namaskar
OH BOY IS THIS A LOADED subject. While many of The learned P.M. Oak has some truths and interesting theories. Im afraid overall his claim of Christianity an dIslam coming from S.D. is incorrect. It would dyak evolves of an extensive historical dissertation to refute, .What an extraordinary mission to undertake in three languages no less. I'm sure it is worth reading
kindly thankyou
I was born Christian, & believe there is much merit in at least considering these issues. The Bhavishya Purana's account of Isha Masiha (Ieshua Messiah) in Kashmir at the same time that Yeshua (Jesus) is missing from the New testament scriptures is at least in my view compelling. Any one who wishes to look dispassionately can see that the Christian Faith was distorted & corrupted, when the Emperor took it over in ~300AD, & it became a political instrument. The so-called "Church" itself murdered many more Christians than the Romans ever did.The apostle; John named it in advance "the Great Harlot" & predicted its eventual destruction. This Purana, is not very complimentary of the origins of the other faith mentioned. The less said the better.
All this is a piece of imagination on the part of learned Mr.P N Oak. He desire es to get the Best Story writers prize for this. Let us not take our great religion- Hinduism to such levels as this is one of the most involved religions in the world and has come to stay as a 'Way of Life'.
Rise above all such narrow theories and learn to appreciate what other Religions have to offer, as they all preach Peace n Love for All.
Kindly spread only one thing...Love - Love - Love

Religion is really a matter of faith. Faith makes the religion.
Any scholar, if he pokes around in ancient archeology and
languages can find similarities by the bucket full.
That does not make fact. It makes theories.
And theories are like elbows, most everyone has one.
Was Jesus God? I don't know. But anyone who can walk
on water and raise the dead gets my vote.
It is obvious that the philosophy of Christianity comes from the tradition of
Bakti-Yoga. No one ever talked about "love each other" before in the Western Tradition. The confusion persists as the word "love" in the West is mostly related to "sex". From this certainty everything else can be derived easily.
Does it really matter? If you really practice Vedic teachings, there is only one religion - the practice of TRUTH, Dharma, Divine Love, Non-Violance (in thoughts, Speech and Actions) resulting in to Caring, Kindness, Compassion, etc. as stated in the famous Vedic "Sandhya Vandana” prayers to the Supreme below. This prayer is the universal oneness of the Brahma through the many manifestations.
आकाशात् पतितं तोयं यथा गच्छति सागरम् सर्व देव नमस्कारः केशवं प्रतिगच्छति
(AkAshAt patitam tOyam yathA gacchati sAgaram sarva dEva namaskArah kEshavam pratigacchati)
Translated from Sanskrit - "As all raindrops falling from the sky ultimately meet their end in the ocean, prayers offered to all (forms of) gods ultimately reach the one Lord"

I don't know the claims are correct or not. If as claimed, Hinduism is absolutely right, why Hindus are going back at every step.Tolerance has to be practiced. The real setback for Hinduism is practice of Chathurvarnya in modern times. If we accept others as human beings and co operate with them, we will grow, or else perish as it is now. Respecting others faith and beliefs are equally important, because they have followed centuries long faith experimented by their forefathers. Making claims on others is just blabbering....try to rejuvenate our self and live peacefully.
I would appear that Christianity and Islam have in the last two millennia took the place of all religions/cults/beliefs (and made all else extinct) in the whole of populated world, barring the East (Buddhism) and South East (Hinduism). The history of the pre-Christian world is not well documented; the local theories/fables/beliefs in the various civilizations/areas/regions have not reached the rest of the world; they are dying in those very areas; the growth of Christianity is not understood even to the extent of Islamic conquest of West Asia and Europe. With the Western domination over the rest of world being what it is, with English becoming the prime language of international communication, any attempt to reopen the by-and-large "accepted" history, would be very difficult, well neigh impossible. All the same, we appreciate scholars such as P.M.Oak taking up cudgels. We wish them all the best.
whatever the intellects can say by study or research shows something
extraordinary to the world that generally can't accepted by one and all. through research in all systems of human life is very hard aspect . we can enlighten the history undiscovered early a.d. by persons like p.n. oak. let research can go far behind. .and we all human beings and must obay and know new things and researchs.
valuable research.
Dr. Subramanian swamy,
What if all this are true? This is not complete spiritual knowledge. Everybody know that ''God is one'' but nobody know who is that God. some people think Shiv is God, Some think vishnu some brahma ji some think Allah Khuda and some think Jeasus.
In fact we all are living in 21 universe of ''brahm God''. above mention God are his son. but supreme God live out of these 21 universe.
I know mr swamy will not publish my comment.

Brilliant work by P.N. Oak! Constantine candidly wrote about needing a religion that would unite the many local cults acquired with conquest as the empire grew. He finally accepted Christianity in gratitude after winning the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. If Constantine had not won the battle and owed a debt to the Christian god, the Christian religion might not have gotten off the ground. Rome and Israel were expansionists, and focused on winning wars. These were practical matters and had little to do with religion as Rome defines itself today.
Also, by the way, Oak is correct about the Etruscans, who taught engineering to Rome. I've been following threads on the Etruscans for a long time.
I find that the earliest symbols of Hinduism and Buddhism originated BEFORE India came together as a political entity. Gobekli Tepe in Turkey is the earliest source of many of the earliest symbols later incorporated into primary religious practices.
There's a huge difference between God and the political structures that use the name to further their own objectives, like winning battles, etc.
This bit of information is only for our understanding that Hindu or Vedic dharma is a way of universal life rather than practice of some "ism". Shiva or Bhrahma or Vishnu are just the Vedic names in Sanskrit language of the Universal Soul and does not have anything to do with any ism. One can practice any ism and at the same time be a Hindu in his outlook - every life as Vasudaiva Kutumbaam or his prayer - Sarve Bhavanthu Sukhinava. By hypothesizing the theory that the Christianity or the Islam may have roots in Vedic culture, we need not feel guilty that we are trying to usurp the greatness of the cultures of others.
I respectfully disagree with Suresh S. it is "history's business" to convey the truth, however "inconvenient."
I respectfully disagree with SOPHIA daile: If you have evidence to the contrary about Islam and Christianity (left out Judaims for some odd reason), that they are NOT derived from Hindu myth, provide evidence, please.
I can provide page after page that they indeed are blatant ripoffs of the Mahabarata. EASILY PROVEN to reasonable people with open minds and minimum Comparitive Myth background.
It is indeed Shiva's lingum. It is indeed Shiva's lingum that is the 5th Dynasty of Egypt's "Delight of Ra" shrine at the Abydos' Temple of the Sun. The 5th dynasty cartouche they claim says "SaRa" (son of Ra) they are reading left to right! If read correctly, right to left? RaS(h)a...RaCha....RaJa. These "Egyptians" came from Rajastan.
YHWH was a Hindu king.

We readers have plenty time to read any "extensive historical refutation" you have to offer. Just "one" piece of evidence would have been greatly appreciated, but you seem quite certain this author and all his evidence is "incorrect."
So, where is your evidence? We will patiently await it, thank you.
Meanwhile: The Tribe of Yadu is the Yudisthira-Tribe. In Urusalim ("Jerusalem" is found only "one temple": To Asherah, Queen of Heaven. Pottery found in Canaan from 8th century BC shows YHWH, Asherah Ba'al and a golden calf. Some other regions of Palestine show temples to YHWH/Asherah. Duality.
Yud Ishthira is YHWH Asherah worship, "Yadu" is Juda(h).
And that is just a scant morsel of all the evidence I have complied. You have my email address I am on mailing list.
Just ask farang to demonstrate how HINDU INDIA RULED THE WORLD. Easy as P.I.E.: " proto-Indo-Aryan" migration out of India.
Listen: DNA now proves "migration out of the M.E. to Europe" circa 9000 BC by "agricultural migrants bringing new technologies."
That isn't "Manu" (Menes/Narmer, the narmer pallette with SHIVA'S BULLS on it) drawn carrying a PLOUGH?
I read "Aryan" originally meant "to plow/plough"...in other words "Aerate." "Ptah" the creator/Potter" is depicted carrying a tool for opening irrigation sluice gates.
I say Ptah is Buddha. And there is image of him at "Saqqara" (Sagara, Hindu king) seated, with Sokar(pronounced "Choiek") and Amen standing behind him. ChoiekAmun Ptah.... I ask you: is that not ShakAmuni Buddha? A Trimurda?
And that is a mere morsel of what I know to be accurate and true. "Mleecha:...Lukka. "Luwian" speakers that Hittite king Arnuwanda I warned about their "crude speech and behavior", that they were not "civilized"....they spoke "Luwian." Arnuwanda I spoke sanskrit and worshiped Arjuna and Varuna.
"Luwian" is Levite. And the Hittite's mortal enemies were the Mittani, Luwian speaking people with a capital at Washukanni" at the mouth of the KHabur (silent K) river. The Habur. People from there were labeled Haberu/Apiru (coast dwellers)... Levites are Hebrew.
Mittani sent princesses to marry into 18th dynasty Egypt: Amenhotep III's mother was one, his wife another...and their "Golden Horus" name is Kheperu. Silent K. They are the "Henrew" patriarhcs of the Torah/O.T.
EASILY PROVEN. How? They stole all the myths and "Torah'ed" them: Torah means "to twist."
farang has unraveled them all, one by one. Obviously Oak has too.
Arnuwanda I wrote a decree about a Great King of Cowards".....and it fits the "King David" myth to a TEE. Right down to conspiring to kill a Hittite to steal his wife/daughter.
Open eyes, it is okay. Consider us the opening salvo that reclaims the world-wide Hindu kingdom of Yayati.

The Vatican was built on the Tiber River across from Rome proper, where St. Peter was supposed to have been buried. Older temples already existed in the area that was selected so the Vatican could be built atop St. Peter's grave. Temples were built in Rome to the Mother Goddess Cybele, who originated in the Anatolia area of Turkey, which traces her back to the very ancient area of Gobekli Tepe. The Etruscans, who did construction for the early church, honored gods from this area. An Etruscan pyramid near the Vatican was discovered in the last decade. Etruscan construction of the Vatican could explain why the architectural style that incorporated symbols from Anatolia, where key Hindu symbols have been found, was built with the Lingam design.
A Vatican Museum has a room that includes an altar to Cybele: http://mv.vatican.va...MGE_Sala16.html Rome's priests were not celibate until the 10th century, and Tantric symbols were classic imagery of the ancient world.
The moral of this story is that it pays to know the history of one's religion and how it emerged from a more ancient tree that was revered worldwide. Open your mind to what religion and spirituality really are, and how they grew on the vine of human culture.
There is only ine Sudhsha chaitanyam. Every thing else reflection / derivative / part. Twam bhAthi, sarvam anubhAthi (YOU that sudhdha chaitanyam are the real visible, rest are all reflection). VyakthOvyaktha (vyaktham, avyaktham- objectified and objectified) charaaAcharam (Charam, acharm - moving, non-moving), stoothala sookshmam (manifested and unmanifested) are all millions of parts (bAgham) of that bhAthi- bgAghathE bhAthihi edhi - bagavannu. That is why samabhAbAvam and sthitha pragnyam makes real HINDU. When more people gain more knowledge and wisdom, they have to get to this root of all thought processes.
this is total crap. i'm an italian national of hindu faith and none of the statements in the article are based on history, linguistics, art, etc. anybody can make statements to further their agenda, whatever that may be, but just writing words on paper or on a pc does not make them true. being proud of one's heritage is good but distorting things is not only disrespectful to readers but profoundly dishonest and manipulative. how does that tally with the principles on sanatan dharma?
Wow this is by far one of the most ridiculous theorys I have ever read there is absolutly no evidence to support any of the above claims India and Hinduism is a great religon but it seems that in the authors love for his country/religon he has formed his opion without any facts to help represent. Christians definetly where not followers of Krishna as he lived many years before and even non-religious sources have proved that jesus was a man that walked the earth. the author really has not done any research on why it is called the Vatican it is because The name "Vatican" predates Christianity and comes from the Latin Mons Vaticanus, meaning Vatican Mount. The territory of Vatican City is part of the Mons Vaticanus, and of the adjacent former Vatican Fields on which St. Peter's Bascillica was built.
First and foremost, Purushottam Nagesh Oak commonly referred to as P. N. Oak, was not a historian he was a Hindu-centric writer who went around patenting anything and everything as Vedic because he believed Hinduism is the only source of all great things in the world. that Christianity and Islam are both derivatives of Hinduism, or that the Catholic Vatican, Kaaba and the Taj Mahal were once Hindu temples to Shiva, He is characterised by serious Historians as a "mythistorian" or more directly as a "Crank". In his book, Some Missing Chapters of World History, Oak claimed that the first civilisation was developed in India from which all world civilisations grew.
According to his own account, he completed an M.A. (Agra) and a law degree (LL.B. Mumbai), and was an official in the Ministry for Information, and wrote various journalistic pieces. How can he be called an Historian when he has no qualifications in the field?
And to top all, religions were created at the tribal stage of human social evolution to help create group behaviors which enhanced the survival potential of the in-group at the expense of out-groups. Truly "old time religions" developed at the end of the last Ice Age, when the tribe was the largest human grouping maintaining any degree of coherence. There were hundreds of Tribes with different beliefs... how can anyone in their right mind claim they were the first and rest came from them?
For that matter, I've seen many Christian sites planting misinformation too in grab of history claiming truth is only with them...Its equally pathetic ...

Sub: VATIKA- Links Sree Rama Temples
Sree Raghunayaka Temple at Chadalavada,prakasam Dt, Andhrapradesh clearly states that- VATIKA is the abode of Lord Sree Rama where he has sent VANARA Sainya to four corners in search of Sree Seetha.
The Idols came to Gollapalli -Formerly Known as Yadupuri] near Nuzvid, krishna Dt, AP around 300 years or less. mention is also made in their record to links to Sree Bhadradri Sree Rama Temple. Any one can visit all Temples today.
Further Research through space-cosmology Vedas interlinks is in progress-OM should help Unity of Consciousness in Science,Religion and Philosophy
We know that Mr Subramanya swamy can be very compelling in his arguments depending on whom he is arguing for. But to take Mr Oak's statement may be a mite over reaching. That we follow a religion thats got a history far surpassing any other is in itself sufficient. It does not matter what it has similarities with with Christianity and Islam. It's compelling to believe that "the missing years of Jesus of Nazereth " were spent in our country in puri, Benares, and Leh and even Lhasa!
We have failed miserably to bring together the people of Hinduism together as one as is evidenced from the rape, pillage, murder and ostracism that happens in our own "hindu" rashtra, India. We do not need a treatise howsoever learned about the origins of christianity and other religions. we are so intolerant of minor religions in our own country! what right do we have to arrogate that power to ourselves?
we have created a divide between the oppressed and the neo oppressed and the haves and the have nots. Time now to have a dispassionate look at our own caste system. Delink reservation from caste and make it economic related. lets clean our house first before we delve into the discussion about where who or what came from. It's no more than a pointless & useless discussion with no value to us as a nation.
A good study. There is no demeaning of any spiritual paths taken by different
humans living in all over the world. It is only how SD over a period of time from LordKrsna's days. As quoted by some body earlier . Read about 'Bhakti Yoga'
in Bhagavat gita , It is available in most of worlds language some clue you may get !!!!!!!!!!
I heard personally Mr P N Oak in Hyderabad more than about 40 years ago when he visited to give a lecture on his theories through Institute for Rewrtiting Indian History. I do not know what happened to that Institute now.
I fondly recollect the historical truths now again. People may say what is the use in all this. Well, it brings the feeling that all on this earth were originally from same area and universal brotherhood is not impossible. Vasudhaika kutumbakam can be achieved by bringing all religions together and making feel that all the religions have same one origin.
God bless us all.
Well-documented discoveries at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey since 1995 have changed the textbooks about ancient history of the world. A Hindu priest's pigtail on a sculpture was found in a settlement 10,000 to 9,000 years old near Gobekli Tepe is amazing.

Common threads run through the oldest religions of the world that reflect a worldwide unity in ancient culture, which includes Hindus, Native Americans and the Mediterranean with the Great Pyramid. In our roots, we share common origins that are surfacing with technological advances. DNA is one of the tools that shows the closely knit bonds that humans share.
Judaism and Christianity are relatively new religions when compared with worldwide cultural roots, which we now proven far older than previously believed. In my book, I compare imagery for Kali with figures at Gobekli Tepe and Mexico's oldest pyramid complex.
The common roots of the world's most ancient cultures expressed in a variety of venues deserve more attention.

St. Peter's Square as pictured above was designed and built between 1656 and 1657 CE--a mere 350 years ago. The design was by the great baroque architect and sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini working for Pope Alexander VII. It is most unlikely and highly improbable that Saivism had anything to do with it. The original St. Peter's was a traditional Roman basilica--a huge rectangular building with colonnades within. It had a large cloistered garden in front. It was demolished in 1505 CE to make way for a more modern church that took 120 years to complete.
The Vatican Hill and the Vatican Field derive their name from the Latin word vates which means prophet or prophetess. It is related to modern English word "fate." Vaticanus meant a place where prophecy was done. Romans looked to nature for signs from the Gods.
Despite the ravages of invasions and the burning of the library of Alexandria, Greco-Roman civilization is very well documented. What remains of the literature, history, science, and philosophy of that civilization is readily available through the 520 volumes of the Loeb Classical Library. Later this year a digital version of the whole library will be available. Each volume has the original ancient language with an English translation on the facing pages. Vast numbers of ancient documents are preserved in the libraries of Europe and the Americas. Most are discoverable through published catalogs. So, if you want to try to find Hinduisim in Greco-Roman civilization the research tools are readily available.
Bharatiya history, like the article above, is poorly documented. It is curiously lacking in dates. Dates and events are the language of history. Oak's theories are based on some likeness of sound between words in different languages and some wishful thinking. He treads into civilizations he does not understand and claims them for Hinduism--sort of like the British in India with the same ignorance and arrogance.
Our history during Chanakya and Alexander tells that " He came to India and saw people from his land Greece and Athens were already staying in India to study and did research along with the Indian Yogis" This was in 350BC. Also the philosophy in Bible and Quran are similar to Indian philosophy. Also the description of Heaven, hell and GOD is similar in Bible, Quran and Srimad Bhagvat. So we can very easily conclude that knowledge was carried to the West and East from India.
