Re: Sanathana Dharma - will this continue its record of longivity?
Hello Kamikaze, thank you for pointing out this book to me. I found it available on the web. It is very interesting. I had vaguely heard about claims that Muhammad(pbuh) was mentioned in the Vedas but had ignored them till now.
I went through parts of the book, but still need to read it properly.
But while going through it briefly and thinking, I suddenly realized the Dr Upaddhaya is quite correct in his research , but he has made a big mistake in recognizing the correct Muhammad. Perhaps he does not know that the Imam Mahdi, the one we are expecting is also predicted to be named Muhammad. I think in his entire research we just need to substitute Imam Mahdi for Muhammad the Prophet.
What the Vedas and Puranas are predicting is the coming of the next Avatar - the Imam Mahdi whose name will also be Muhammad.
But this is only my opinion.
