ARAB land has been exposed to HINDU influence since Pre Hisotric times the first incidence was the Migration of Vedic people OUT of India as a result of Ten Kings war http://shankhnaad.net/index…/nation/aryavart/99-article-1001
The next incidence can be found in Ramayan when the VANAR SENA goes in search of SITA .
And the most recent was the spread of Hindu culture and establishment of the reign of VIKRAMADITYA over ARABIA
IRAN & IRAQ – THE RAMAYANA CONNECTION
————-——————–
When Sita was held in captive, four vanara brigades were readied to be sent out in four different directions for the search of ‘Goddess’ Sita
The search-party is given a route-map by Sugreeva the vanara chief, which leads them right up to what was known as the Asta Mountain

Sage Valmiki traces the route of the vanaras going in the western direction. An easily identifiable location that he mentions in the Ramayana is the geographical point where the Sindhu, that is the Indus falls into the Arabian Sea. That would be close to present day Karachi

During the course vanaras are told that they will come across in succession ,many mountain peaks which are named as Varaha, Meghavanta and finally Meru. These appear to be mountain peaks of the Zagros range, located across the Arabian Sea in Iran, extending to Iraq.

Valmiki also mentions a city by the name of Pragjyotisha. If we assume that the sea-levels during the Ramayana era were higher than they are today many of the mountains of the Zagros range in Iran would be water-logged.

राजपूत जब लड़ाई पर जाते थे तब महिलाएं उनको माथे पर कुमकुम तिलक लगाने के साथ-साथ हाथ में रेशमी धागा भी बांधती थी। इस विश्वास के साथ कि यह धागा उन्हे विजयश्री के साथ वापस ले आएगा।

राजपूत जब लड़ाई पर जाते थे तब महिलाएं उनको माथे पर कुमकुम तिलक लगाने के साथ-साथ हाथ में रेशमी धागा भी बांधती थी। इस विश्वास के साथ कि यह धागा उन्हे विजयश्री के साथ वापस ले आएगा।

राखी के साथ एक और ऐतिहासिक प्रसंग जुड़ा हुआ है। मुगल काल के दौर में जब मुगल बादशाह हुमायूँ चितौड़ पर आक्रमण करने बढ़ा तो राणा सांगा की विधवा कर्मवती ने हुमायूँ को राखी भेजकर रक्षा वचन ले लिया। हुमायूँ ने इसे स्वीकार करके चितौड़ पर आक्रमण का ख़्याल दिल से निकाल दिया और कालांतर में मुसलमान होते हुए भी राखी की लाज निभाने के लिए चितौड़ की रक्षा हेतु बहादुरशाह के विरूद्ध मेवाड़ की ओर से लड़ते हुए कर्मवती और मेवाड़ राज्य की रक्षा की।

सुभद्राकुमारी चौहान ने शायद इसी का उल्लेख अपनी कविता, ‘राखी’ में किया है:

मैंने पढ़ा, शत्रुओं को भी
जब-जब राखी भिजवाई
रक्षा करने दौड़ पड़े वे
राखी-बन्द शत्रु-भाई॥

सिकंदर और पुरू
सिकंदर की पत्नी ने अपने पति के हिंदू शत्रु पुरूवास को राखी बांध कर अपना मुंहबोला भाई बनाया और युद्ध के समय सिकंदर को न मारने का वचन लिया । पुरूवास ने युद्ध के दौरान हाथ में बंधी राखी का और अपनी बहन को दिये हुए वचन का सम्मान करते हुए सिकंदर को जीवनदान दिया।

ऐतिहासिक युग में भी सिंकदर व पोरस ने युद्ध से पूर्व रक्षा-सूत्र की अदला-बदली की थी। युद्ध के दौरान पोरस ने जब सिकंदर पर घातक प्रहार हेतु अपना हाथ उठाया तो रक्षा-सूत्र को देखकर उसके हाथ रूक गए और वह बंदी बना लिया गया। सिकंदर ने भी पोरस के रक्षा-सूत्र की लाज रखते हुए और एक योद्धा की तरह व्यवहार करते हुए उसका राज्य वापस लौटा दिया।

Vedic Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) – वैदिकः सनातनो धर्मः shared a status.
31 October
A King named Dasharatha ruled over Syria and Iraq 3300 years ago: The Arya Kingdom of Mittani comprised of what is known today as Syria and parts of south-eastern Turkey and Iraq between 1500-1300 BC. It is well-known to historians that the Mittani kingdom was founded by an Arya ruling class, whose names are of Indic origin and who worshipped Vedic Gods, such as Mitra, Varuna, Indra and Nasatya (Ashvini-Kumaras) etc. Look at the names of some of their kings: The first Mitanni king was Sutarna I (“good sun” – सुतर्ण). He was followed by Paratarna I (“great sun” – परतर्ण), Parashukshatra (“ruler with axe” – परशुक्षत्र), Saukshatra (“son of Sukshatra, the good ruler” – सौक्षत्र), Paratarna II, Artatama or Ritadharma (“abiding in cosmic law” – ऋतधर्म), Sutarna II, Tushratta or Dasharatha (दशरथ), and finally Mativaja (Matiwazza, “whose wealth is prayer” – मतिवाज).

Lord Brahma is a very popular deity in Thailand. He is known as Phra Phrom in local Thai language which is derived from Sanskrit “Vara Bhrama” (वर ब्रह्मा). Shrines dedicated to Him can be found in various places of Thailand. Thailand also has a small native Hindu Brahmana priesthood, which take care of these Hindu deities in the country. Pandit Vamadeva Muni, the royal priest of Thailand (Rajapurohita), is the head of all these Hindu Brahmana priests.

Surya Majapahit (The Sun of Majapahit – सूर्य मजपहित), the national emblem of the great Indonesian Hindu Empire explained.
The Great Majapahit Hindu Empire ruled over most of what is known as Indonesia today, an archipelago of 17,508 islands, and Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Southern Thailand, Sulu Archipelago, Manila (the Philippines), and East Timor, making it one of the largest empires that ruled in Asia. Its national emblem contains the Tri Devas (Brhama Vishnu Shiva) in the center, six forms of Shiva (Shambhu, Shankara, Ishvara, Mahadeva, Rudra and Maheshwara), the central deity (Shiva), and also 8 minor Vedic deities (Vayu, Kubera, Ishana, Varuna, Indra, Nirriti, Yama and Agni). The Majapahit era ended in the 16th century with the advent of Islam in Indonesia.The third picture is of the national emblem of Modern Indonesia. It is called Garuda Panchashila (गरुड पंचशील). The line “Bhinneka tunggal ika” (Different, but one in essence) is a line from a 14th century Javanese epic “Sutasoma” (सुतसोम). The translation of the complete stanza is as follows:
“It is said that the well-known Buddha and Shiva are two different substances. They are indeed different, yet how is it possible to recognise their difference in a glance, since the truth of Jina (Buddha) and the truth of Shiva is one. They are indeed different, but they are of the same kind, as there is no duality in Truth.”

Vedic Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) – वैदिकः सनातनो धर्मः I myself ask that question. I see a few factors. 1. Fight among Hindu states and kings allowed the Muslims to come in. 2. The complete absence of contact with the source of Dharma, India itself, because priests and monks stopped travelling above the sea. 3. The absence of Sant Parampara (such as Surdas, Tulsidas, Kabirdas, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Mirabai etc.) who kept the common people of India from a very grass-root level connected with the most ancient and core teachings of the Vedas. You will be amazed when you realize that most of Indonesia was converted to Islam by Muslims from India only, especially the traders from Gujarat. Of course, there were Arab traders also there, but a very small number actually reached those nations.
