[Advaita-l] Fwd: {भारतीयविद्वत्परिषत्} Śiva in text before the common era: an analysis in 2022

[Raja Krishnamurti]

Siva is not only in Itihasas and Puranas, but also the Upanishads pinnacle of Vedas. It is Rushes Prashna of Taittiriya Upanishad and the word exactly in middle of the Taittiriya Upanishad and it is a Noun. Rishis mentioned that Vedas originated from the Breath of Lord Shiva during exhalation. So Vedas have no time as it is Shruthi that was heard by the Seven Sages not spoken. So to speak of BC and AD and Lord Shiva is absurd and it was before Time or Kala.

It is a powerful mantra in the Taittiriya Samhita that is in the Krishna Yajur Veda. Sri Rudram is the fifth Prasna placed carefully in the central and fourth kanda.

Regards,
Raja Krishnamurti
