DA VINCI CODE-MYTH OR MYSTERY!

Well I don't think one needs to give any introduction about the novel DA VINCI CODE by DAN BROWN. It's been one of the most read and talked about novel in recent times.Also RON HOWARD making a movie based on that novel just added to the curiosity and controversy behind that huge selling novel. It has been translated into more than 45 languages and more than 60 million copies sold worldwide, making DAN BROWN an instant hero! He has been given about 25 crores as renumeration by the producers of DA VINCI CODE. From kids to adults and Canada to Australia all speak about this DA VINCI CODE!!!

BUT IS THE THEORY BEHIND 'DA VINCI CODE' FACT OR HOAX?

Well friends there has been a lot of opinions about that but let us try to have a little more insight into the so called FACTS in that book.

I'm just dealing a few of them now and will keep updating this blog.

1.What is the Priory of Sion?Does it really exist?
YES.It does exist but the thing is that it is in existence for the past 50 yrs or so and not as mentioned in the book.It was registered as a Priory in France in 1954!And there is nothing that this priory knows or seems to know about Jesus or Mary Magdalene!

2.What about Opus Dei?
YES.It too exists and as far as i know it DOES have few orthodox principles as mentioned in the book.

3.Was DA VINCI the REAL MASTER of any secret society?
NO.He was just a brilliant genius and thats it!No work of his has been related to any priory as we knowthat this priory was not even in existence then.

4.Then what about NEWTON,BOYLE etc i.e BIG names mentioned in that book?
Its a BIG HOAX,well whenever a superstar or a famous personality does something it becomes a big issue! Just look at the case where Aamir Khan supported NBA!Even before he came into the picture there were many supporting NBA but just wit his entry see the enthusiasm and controversy!

5.What about the CRYPTEX?
It was not even devised by DA VINCI as the book claims to be. Also another important thing is that even if one breaks the cryptex using the wrong code,the vinegar wont dissolve the papyrus in it!

6.Then what are the facts in that book?
Well Dan Brown claims that all the things mentioned in that book are facts and relevant but the thing is he has just cooked up a story based on some facts.
The Vitruvian Man , Fibonacci series , Golden ratio are all true .Also there has been a lot of talk about Last Supper itself! So one can say that he has just made a story based on these things.

7.What about Jesus and Mary Magdalene and their bloodline?
Well I still do not deny that they had a bloodline but the thing is, it is not as presented in that book.Maybe they have a bloodline but this Priory is for sure not connected with preserving that secret!

8.Is the Roselyn and St.Sulpice a hoax?
As said before they do exist but not as interpreted in that book. Dan Brown has broken Roselyn into ROSE and LINE and it is not so. Also there was once a Paris meridian time similar to GMT and this St.Sulpice points to that and not the HOLY GRAIL as mentioned there!

Well my conclusion is this :

One must not go by the words of any! As Gautama Buddha says "Do not believe anything just because it was said by your teacher or parents or elders or whom you respect a lot, but believe only those which you yourself ascertain it to be true after a detailed in-depth analysis." You try to find the truth for yourself before coming into any conclusion and please don't JUMP into any conclusion.But one thing is for sure.

TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL

An Anon has written a comment asking me to mention the references for this blog of mine.
Mr.Anon I have not copy-pasted this from any other source or site. In fact I have gone through many books, web-sites and TV shows. I have taken a long time to read that book as I had to refer every other 'fact' mentioned in that book. Also this blog is just my opinion of that book and it is left to the reader to do more research, if need be.
