--(more ascended Master stuff from the Theosophists - so much for the 10,000 year old Scripture).:
from Wiki: " The Pranava-Vada of Gargyayana (pranava-vâda is the Sanskrit for "uttering of Pranava (AUM)") is a book by Bhagavan Das, published in three volumes in years 1910-1913 by the Theosophical Society, Adyar with notes by Annie Besant. Das alleges that the work is a "summarised translation" of an otherwise unknown "ancient text" by a sage called Gargyayana. Das states that the text was dictated to him from memory by one Pandit Dhanaraja, a theosophist friend of his who was blind in both eyes and had died before the book's publication. f- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, drjmercay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This translation project is probably one of the most important > projects in modern times.
