Sanskrit has over 200 words for 'love' hence without knowing about the culture we can conclude a romantic civilisation pursuing higher levels of consciousness in human relationships and gods and goddesses.

Amongst the Eskimos we find some 50 words for 'snow' hence without knowing a thing about the Eskimo race we can conclude that snow was central to their lives simply by studying their language.

 

Stones and bones form the pieces which reveals the picture of human history, yet within language we have a witness which may be more reliable in describing the culture of human beings thousands of years ago.

 

 

 

One such language weaving a rich tapestry is the Celtic language of the Welsh, a language expressing abundantly themes of romance, chivalry, divinity, befitting its culture of Camelot and the Arthurian legend.

 

Guinevere is a great personality of Camelot who captured the hearts of Arthur and Lancelot and a name composed of the Welsh 'Gwyn' meaning 'fair' 'pure' 'blessed' befitting the romantic and chivalrous nature of its age.

 

'Gwyn' meaning 'fair' 'pure' 'shining' is the Sanskrit 'vid' meaning to 'know' which becomes 'weid' meaning to 'see' which becomes the Celtic 'windos' meaning 'shining' which becomes 'Gwyn' meaning 'pure' and 'shining'.

 

 

'Gwendolen' was a Queen scorned by her husband whose name means the white ( gwyn ) ring ( dolen ) she defeated her husband upon the battlefield becoming the most powerful monarch in Britain and a woman no longer scorned.

 

A woman who is fair is 'Gwyneth' fair and blessed is 'Gwennan' pure and good is 'Gwenda' a blessed hill is 'Gwenien' and 'Gwynfor' means 'the sacred lord' all expressing an age of romance and chivalry and divinity.

 

Gwynedd is a Kingdom upon the coast of Wales and the same 'Gwyn' which describes this coastal Kingdom as 'blessed' and one of the prominent settlers in this region were the 'Gangani' whose name may be Sanskrit.

 

 

Gwyn becomes 'Gwenddolau' meaning the meadows ( dolau ) of the fair ( gwyn ) dales, a name again expressing the romantic nature of the Welsh language especially when we consider that this is the name of a great and powerful King.

 

Gwenddolau was such a powerful King that Merlin, the great sage was his court advisor and when he met his death in the year of 573 AD in the battle of Arderydd it is said that Merlin went mad with grief and fled to the forests of Caledonia.

 

Gwenddolau possessed a chessboard which is one of the thirteen treasures of Britain, made of pure gold, the pieces were silver and the game played itself with cries of anguish and cheers of unseen warriors within a blood soaked battlefield.

 

 

'Gwynedd' is home to 'Abergwyn' the 'Aber' meaning 'water' and 'river' is the Sanskrit 'Apa' and 'Apara' meaning 'water' and 'river' as in a river ( aber ) of white ( gwyn ) shells, a name reflecting the peace and romance of the Welsh language.

 

Romans built their first fort 'Deva' a name in Sanskrit meaning 'divine' and also a road through 'Gwynedd' and 'Abergwyn' names from Sanskrit and along these cities is the river 'Dee' originally 'Deva' a word from Sanskrit meaning 'divine'.

 

'Gwyn' meaning 'fair' and 'pure' is found in over 50 place names as in 'Aeronwen' 'Arwyn' 'Berwyn' 'Blodwen' 'Branwen' 'Caerwyn' 'Cledwyn' all related partially or fully to the Sanskrit language, reflecting an age of romance, chivalry and divinity.

 

 

"The Druids of the Celtic world have a startling kinship with brahmans of the Hindu religion and were a parallel development of their Indo-European cultural root which branched out probably five thousand years ago." Peter Beresford.

 

"It is only within recent decades that the Celtic scholars have begun to reveal the full extent of the parallels and cognates between ancient Celtic society and the Vedic culture of India." Peter Beresford.

 

"Druid' possesses two Celtic words with parallels in Sanskrit as 'Vid' meaning 'knowledge' is the Sanskrit 'Veda' and the Celtic 'Dru' appears in Sanskrit hence 'Druid' is one fixed ( dru ) in knowledge ( vid ). Peter Beresford.
