Purusha Sooktam

off topic but this reminds me of sean paul

while Vishnu is same as Brahman, this verse is not after Vishnu. Infact, in vedas, esp in Rig Vishnu is hardly mentioned. This is about that individual/force behind the Big Bang!

this is simply awesome ...pronunciations r very nice .... very good work .....

Hari Sarvottam || Vayu jivottam

The latetr hald of the sukhtam is missing.

verses 19- 24

Very few schools today have preserved the correct recitation of the Vedas. I am informed schools in Kerala have preserved them very well.

Do not think of any langauge as being a "corruption" of some other language. Languages evolve. It is a natural phenomenon.

By the time Sanskrit was codified, it had already "evolved" from the Vedic language, which evolved from an older proto Indo-Iranian language.

The concept of "pure" and "corrupt" is meaningless, just like for human "races".

Read my earlier post carefully.

I said Sanskrit HAS NOT changed after it was codified because people no longer spoke it as a first language.

Spoken languages always evolve. That is a fact. The Vedic language is very different from the Sanskrit of the Upanishads. Any Indian Sanskrit scholar will tell you that. This not some Euro-centric "view".

I am NOT supporting any Aryan invasion theory.
