That's right, not all over them. Some of them dictated and wrote the
Vedas down. Others were busy memorizing them and making sure the
knowledge of their branches was perpetuated by the system if disciplic
succession.

In former times things were not relative as they are now, where
everyone just happily speculates his own reality. In the vedic times
the atmosphere was more pure, people were endowed with superior bodies
and minds, they knew more about nature and how she works, they knew
the art of appeasing mother nature and living close to her. Things and
living entities, not manifest now in this spiritual stone age of
Kali-yuga, roamed freely in the  universe. There were interplanetary
exchanges between demigods and humans. Everyone was connected by the
same knowledge and psychic technology. That's the thing. In the former
ages, in more pure times, a kind of a psychic technology was developed
and known to most people. Now it has been forgotten and  instead we
use gross technology that polutes and makes noice.

Nobody nowadays is interested in the truth.They are only interested in
their own version of the truth.

I agree completely. That's why I took to Vedic culture. It really
works for me and I have seen how it works for anyone who takes it up,
too. The thing is that we are suffering i the material world, we get
old, sick and we die. Nowhere else but in Krishna consciousness will
you find these most dire problems addressed and a working solution
offered. Everyone just wants to forget about the real problems of life
and seek oblivion in sense-enjoyment. The problems with such a short
sighted approach to life is, that it always ends in misery.
