"Back to Doghead" Vedic Empire Series Revival & Christmas Special

HO HO HO! Merry Christmas & Hare Krishna! Welcome to Vedic Empire Presents!

Have you ever wondered why Santa looks and behaves the way he does? Why do culture's all over the World seemingly have different Santa origin stories?

Did you know that the prototype for Santa was based on the ‘Dog-Headed’ St. Christopher among several other ancient personalities?

In this episode, N. Kalia presents a startling premise; Santa Claus, his elves, gift bags/seasonal gift giving, naughty or nice lists and many other aspects of the Western Christmas tradition have ancient connections with India’s Vedic Ramayana tradition.

In this discussion many clues are shared regarding the many mysteries at the root of the Christmas traditions.

N. Kalia has dedicated decades of research in pursuit of Vedic motifs and their transmigrations, such as comparing St. Christopher as the proto-Santa Claus with Hanuman of the Ramayana. He also specializes in Native American and Polynesian theology by way of etymology.

In this very special Christmas episode, join our hosts Kalia, Vrin and Elijah in uncovering the hidden origins of St. Christopher's dog-headed antics in his transformation into the beloved Holiday figure we know today!
