Lithuania is a major nation in the Baltic countries and is one of the main nations in the mythological Prussian culture area. Their religious teacher, of the Romuva community, Jonas Trincunas, surprised us at the very first meeting, that they were Rajputs and their community had Vedic culture. He is the first European foreign teacher to declare this publicly. He was also honored by the President of Lithuania with the highest state “Jonas Basanavičius Award”.
Romuva is still conscious of its religion, culture and beliefs and is struggling to revive the mythological culture. Although they are located in the Baltic region, their mythological cultural region is called Prussia, which includes the regions of Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Ukraine, Estonia, Belarus, Kaliningrad (Russia) etc.
There are also many similarities in the Baltic countries. These come under the Prussia cultural zone. This very mythical region is associated with the Sanatan Hindu culture for centuries. At some point of time, Poland and Lithuania had established a vast state in the alliance which stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. They have similarities with deities like Surya (Saule), Lakshmi ji (Laimi), Kali Maa (Laima) etc. The Kalki god whom they call Vytis is inscribed in their national emblem, flag and coins. Lord Indra (Perkunos) is the main deity. The swastika is their mythological auspicious symbol. Marriage practices are also similar. Many auspicious signs of Tantra & yantras from Sanatan Hindu culture are auspicious signs of Lithuanians.
When religious teacher Jonas Trincunas came to India, he requested to visit Chittorgarh. He told that the people of Lithuania take inspiration from the history of Chittorgarh. The Lithuanians fought similar war with the church army for three hundred years, but in the end our people also had to commit Jauhar. This was a very sad event in our history.
Apostles of the Roman Empire had two armies of the Church, the Teutonic order and the Livonian order, who would defeat other states and force them to convert. The Livonian order was established in Latvia.
The language of the Baltic people is basically Sanskrit. Lithuanians consider India as their second homeland.
After the death of religious leader Jonas Trincunas, his wife Inija Trinkuniene became the high priestess of the Romuwa community and is adorned with the title of Krive.
The language of the Baltic people is basically Sanskrit. The Romuva community and the Lithuanians have lived a life of struggle for thousands of years and the Lithuanian knights have preserved their Vedic culture and civilization even today. We Indians are proud of them. For these reasons, Gayatri Parivar's Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar honored religious guru Jonas Trinkunas and his wife and current religious Guru Mata Inija Trinkuniene with honorary doctorates. Not only this, they have also established a department of Lithuanian language in their university. This is a beautiful initiative.
The famous Lithuanian singer Vetra has won the heart of every Indian by singing the National song "Vande Mataram". Lithuanians consider India as their second homeland. We Indians are proud of all Lithuanians.
