Page 5 - Ancient Armenia:Sanskrit 'Harers' and the 'Vetz Hazaria' Vedas

the key that opened my eyes to the Vetz Hazaria’s contents.

I have been chan ng the Hare Krishna Mantra for fi y years now. The root
word ‘mana’ in Sanskrit means the mind and ‘tra’ means deliverance. By
chan ng the Hare Krishna mantra and following the process of surrender to
the will of God through devo on and love, the wonderful experience of re-
vealed knowledge blossoms in one’s consciousness. As Socrates also ex-
plained, real knowledge is not learned but remembered because it is innate in
the collec ve memory of our eternal soul. We were originally with God but
due to misuse of our free will we separated ourselves from God.

The allegorical explana on in the Old Testament of the Bible of the fall of Ad-
am and Eve from the Garden of Eden is an example of the misuse of man-
kind’s limited free will. The result is falling down into the material world
where one can con nue to refuse to serve God or one can take up again
God’s service and be liberated from the unending cycle of birth and death.
Through unalloyed devo onal service one can a ain love of God and finally
return again to the spiritual world of eternity, bliss and knowledge.
Gevork Nazaryan researched extensively through ancient manuscripts. He
studied these pre-Chris an texts in the Matenadaran Museum in Yerevan
where there is an amazing collec on of ancient manuscripts. Through his
studies he compiled a significant amount of pre-Chris an and early Chris an
informa on about Armenia. When Armenia became a state-mandated Chris-
an country (circa 310 AD), there was a brutal effort by Saint Gregory and the
many foreign Chris an priests he imported into Armenia to completely eradi-
cate all traces of pre-Chris an Armenian culture and spirituality. The Armeni-
an Chris ans destroyed Vedic temples in the area of Mush and Sasun (in what
is today eastern Turkey) and many other pre-Chris an pagan temples and
their centers of learning along with manuscripts of precious knowledge that
would have clearly established the debt Armenia had to the ancient Vedic
literature and civiliza on. The merciless treatment of the non-Chris an tem-
ples and monasteries in Armenia was instrumental to depriving us today of
per nent details of our origins in the Vedic past. Please see the following an-
cient text “History of Daron by Zenob Klag.” Zenob was a Syrian priest who
became a disciple of Saint Gregory. He wrote the history of how Armenia be-
came a Chris an country. He focused on the conquest by King Drtad and Saint
