A History Of Vedic Literature (Brief Survey And Study)

This work entitled ‘A History of Vedic Literature: Brief Survey and Study’ is an attempt to deliberate upon the general nature of the Vedas based on textual and traditional sources. Almost all the important texts of Vedic Literature-encompassing their main contents and characteristics, are discussed here in brief keeping the line of popular division. The basic understanding of some selective mantras and hymns of Vedic-Samhitas and Upanisads is initiated in a few chapters to make readers acquainted with the Vedic concepts.

This volume consisting of twenty-six chapters is written with a view point of presenting a short but comprehensive history of the Vedic Literature and providing accompanying study materials on various hymns and Upanisads. Vedic verses are given in Devanagari as well as in Roman script. In order to aid with correct pronunciation, Diacritical marking has been provided. Distinguishing feature of the book is the discourse in the later chapters dealing with Vedic Mythology, Religion and Ecology.

We believe that this work will be of interest and benefit to the curious scholars and students of Vedas and Sanskrit.
