INDIA IS THE LAND OF THE GREAT VEDAS,THE MOST REMARKABLE WORKS,CONTAINING NOT ONLY RELIGIOUS IDEAS ON A PERFECT LIFE,BUT ALSO FACTS,WHICH ALL THE SCIENCE PROVED TRUE.ELECRICITY,RADIUM,ELECTRONS,AIRSHIPS----ALL SEEM TO BE KNOWN TO THE RISHIS WHO FOUND THE VEDAS.

JACOLIAT------ASTONISHING FACT! THE VEDA IS OF ALL REVELATIONS THE ONLY ONE WHOSE IDEAS ARE IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH MODERN SCIENCE AS IT PROCLAIMS THE SLOW AND GRADUAL FORMATION OF THE WORLD.

DR,WEBER.A.,----WE CAN NOT DETERMINE THE AGE OF VEDAS.WE HAVE NO MATERIALS WITH US TO CORRECTLY SPECIFY THEIR AGE.THE SOURCES WHICH WE NOW HAVE ARE UNABLE TO THAT LOFTY HEIGHT.
