The First ever Gramaphone Record & Vedam

[Shivrup Tiwari]

HMV had once published  a pamphlet giving the history of gramophone  Record.                                                                                                                                                Gramophone was invented by Thomas Alva Edison in the 19th century. Edison, Who had invented many other gadgets like electric light and the motion  Picture camera, had become a legend even in his own time.                                                                                              When He invented the gramophone record, which could record human voice,he Wanted to record the voice of an eminent scholar on his first piece. For That he chose Prof. Max Muller. He wrote to him "I want to meet you and Record your voice. When should I come?" Max Muller who had great respect For Edison asked him to come on a day when most of the scholars of  Europe Would be gathering in England.                                                                                                                          Accordingly, Edison took a ship and went to England. He was introduced to  The audience. All cheered Edison's presence. Later at the request of Edison Max Muller came on the stage and spoke in front of the instrument. Then Edison went back to his laboratory and by afternoon came back with a  Disc.                                                                                                                                                  He played the gramophone disc from his instrument. The audience was Thrilled to hear the voice of Max Muller from the instrument.They were  Glad that voices of great persons like Max Muller could be stored for the  Benefit of posterity.                                                                                                                                  After several rounds of applause and congratulations to  Edison, Max Muller addressed the scholars  "You heard my original voice in the morning And the same voice in the afternoon. Do you understand what I said in the  Morning or what you heard in the afternoon?".                                                                                                          The audience including many European scholars fell silent because they Could not understand the language in which Max Muller had spoken. Max Muller then explained that the language he spoke was Sanskrit and it was Rig Veda. This was the first recorded public version on the gramophone Plate.                                                                                                                                                  Why did Max Muller choose this? Addressing the audience he said, "Vedas  Are the oldest text of the human race. And Agni Meele Purohitam is the First verse of Rig Veda. In the most primordial time when the people of  Europe were jumping like Chimpanzees, from tree to tree, when they did not Know how to cover their bodies, did not know agriculture and lived by Hunting and lived in caves, Indians had attained high civilization and They gave to the world universal philosophies in the form of the Vedas."                                                                                                                                                                           Shivrup Tiwari

Dear Sri Tiwari ji,

Excellent piece of information on gramophone and its first recording of Max Muller reciting Rig veda.

I am at a loss to understand whether we, the Indians, are lucky to have born on the soil that saw world's oldest civilized society Or feel Sad for not having preserved that great heritage.

Regards,

Wow! This is amazing and of course a matter of pride. Mr Babji though this has a mixed feeling of rejoice and remorse for the reasons you pointed out but wisdom lies in making hay while the sun shines. So let us celebrate.

cheers

Dear Sri Tiwari ji Perhaps had Pt. 'Mokshamullara' of Europe not chanted the Vedas the entire out side world would have had less infomation about our treasure! Geamaphone reording had its first test thr' the lips of Prof. Maxmuller that too inaugurating with most sacred 'difficult chantable intonation'  Vedas is some thing great. Your mail in this regard is a marellous one and complent u for the same P.B.Raghavendra Rao 9849103929 --- On Thu, 14/10/10, Bobby Shivyana <bobby.s...@gmail.com> wrote:
