Apoureshyatva - Faith or Logic?


For discussing matters like Apaurusheyatva of Veda etc.and who said what on this topic since the ancient
times, one has take dates (even if not the exact dates) seriously. These subjects cannot be discussed in a
serious forum by just throwing some absurd historicities and expecting others to disprove  those
absurd ideas wrong. If you thought the dates are not important and you are not sure about the dates then you
should not have given the date, in the first place. Having given the dates now you cannot run away by saying
that the dates are not to be seriously taken. The onus is on you to first prove the dates given by you and if
anyone contests your proofs then that person will have to come out with his proofs.

Secondly regarding the equivalent word in English I was doing loud thinking as to whether there is any
better word than the word "uninvented' and sought the opinions of other scholars if they have any better
idea. Luckily one suggestion came that "Unauthored" may be a better word. May be the scholars who look at it
constructively will try to suggest more ideas on it and it may also so happen that someone may suggest that
instead of a single word, a combination of two or three words may be a better equivalent of the term
"Apaurusheyatva". One is clear that you have no suggestion to give from your side and you have only your
efforts to destroy other's efforts.

Sincerely,
Sunil KB
