namaskaaram,
ReplyDeleteA question: Aren't the VEda-s the National Text of India except for the Buddhists and the Jains although some people have proven that almost everything in Buddhism can be derived from the Upanishad-s?
I believe that the VEdic lore should be handled by the traditional learners and keepers of it, but all the other material -- (I hesitate to call it texts because most of Indian history shows us that Indian texts were actually oral -- committed to memory by dedicated people and transmitted orally) such as the ItihAsa-s, KAvya-s, SAstRa-s, etc.) can be derived from the VEda-s and in fact all the respected teachers have linked their special branches to the
VEda-s from Vaalmeeki and KALidaasa to the aesthetic philosophers such as Ananda-VaRdhana, the VyAkaraNa philosophers such as BhaRtr^hari, the musical theorists such as SARn*gadEva, etc -- is derived from the VEda-s.
So, I, in all humility, submit that the national text of India is the VEdic corpus with the caveat that it is not really a text in the sense of the western "scripture" but in the sense of SRuti, which the brilliant, oral-word-centered people in India -- the VEda specialist -- have preserved to a great extent although it is in the danger of becoming extinct. May the Divine forbid that. DKM Kartha
Seen late. only now. Thank you sir. VEda-s have a special GRADE. VEda is visible only to a few, less visible to more and invisible to most of the Indians. Bhagavatam is not special, it is born general. For ALL. Thank you.
