  • Where Are Manuscripts Of Vedas

    The Vedas, the Scriptures of the Hindus are voluminous.

     

    They were not written by any one but grasped from Ether.

    There are four Vedas, Rig,Yajur, Sama and Atharva .

     

    In addition to this, we have Upavedas,Vedangas,Parisista,  not to speak of the Smritis.

     

    Of this lot this is what has been collected.

     

    “The complete corpus of Vedic mantras as collected in Bloomfield‘s Vedic Concordance (1907) consists of some 89,000 padas (metrical feet), of which 72,000 occur in the four Samhitas”

     

    This is only for the Samhitas.

     

    Brahmanas,Aranyakas,Upanishads remain.

     

    There seems to be no information on when the Vedas were written in the form of manuscripts.

     

    The Digitized copies  of The Rigveda Brahmanas: the Aitareya and Kausītaki Brāhmanas of the Rigveda are in American Libraries.

     

    (Link provided below).

     

    1. Rgvedasamhita
      Accession No. : 5/1875-76
      Material : Birch Bark
      Uniqueness / Pecularity : The manuscript was used by Prof. F. Max Müller for the edition of the Rgveda with Sayana’s commentary. The manuscript is a beautiful specimen of the old style Manuscript of Kashmir.
    2. Bhagavata Purana
      Accession No. : 61/1907-1915
      No. of Illustrations : 128
      Uniqueness / Pecularity : It is one of the most precious mss. of the Institute’s collection. It contains 128 beautiful paintings in color.

     

    These are Thirty Volumes of Rig Veda Samhitas which Max Mueller had quoted and wrote his Books upon.

     

    Rest of the manuscripts’ whereabouts not known despite claims that they are in Germany, US do not seem to hold, as far as I could fathom.

     

    Readers may contribute.

     

    The best that had happened to Hinduism is that they have not been written but transmitted Orally.

     

    That is the reason they have survived.

     

    Hope efforts have been made to preserve available oral material has been saved.

     

     

    The Vedas on UNESCO Register.

     

    The Vedas comprise a vast corpus of Sanskrit poetry, philosophical dialogue, myth, and ritual incantations developed and composed by Aryans over 3,500 years ago. Regarded by Hindus as the primary source of knowledge and the sacred foundation of their religion, the Vedas embody one of the world’s oldest surviving cultural traditions.

    The Vedic heritage embraces a multitude of texts and interpretations collected in four Vedas, commonly referred to as “books of knowledge” even though they have been transmitted orally. The Rig Veda is an anthology of sacred hymns; the Sama Veda features musical arrangements of hymns from the Rig Veda and other sources; the Yajur Veda abounds in prayers and sacrificial formulae used by priests; and the Atharna Veda includes incantations and spells. The Vedas also offer insight into the history of Hinduism and the early development of several artistic, scientific and philosophical concepts, such as the concept of zero.

    Expressed in the Vedic language, which is derived from classical Sanskrit, the verses of the Vedas were traditionally chanted during sacred rituals and recited daily in Vedic communities. The value of this tradition lies not only in the rich content of its oral literature but also in the ingenious techniques employed by the Brahmin priests in preserving the texts intact over thousands of years. To ensure that the sound of each word remains unaltered, practitioners are taught from childhood complex recitation techniques that are based on tonal accents, a unique manner of pronouncing each letter and specific speech combinations.

    Although the Vedas continue to play an important role in contemporary Indian life, only thirteen of the over one thousand Vedic recitation branches have survived. Moreover, four noted schools – in Maharashtra (central India), Kerala and Karnataka (southern India) and Orissa (eastern India) – are considered under imminent threat.

  • How To Wear Vaishnava Mark Vasudeva Upanishad

    Vasudeva Upanishad from the Sama Veda is unique in that it explains the meaning of Vaishnavism caste mark and details as to how to wear it.

    Vasudeva Upanishad
    Translated by P. R. Ramachander
    Published by celextel.org

    Om ! Let my limbs and speech, Prana, eyes, ears, vitality
    And all the senses grow in strength.
    All existence is the Brahman of the Upanishads.
    May I never deny Brahman, nor Brahman deny me.
    Let there be no denial at all:
    Let there be no denial at least from me.
    May the virtues that are proclaimed in the Upanishads be in me,
    Who am devoted to the Atman; may they reside in me.
    Om ! Let there be Peace in me !
    Let there be Peace in my environment !
    Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !

    Om. The God like sage Narada saluted Lord Vasudeva and requested him, “Oh God, please teach me the rules of Urdhva Pundra (the religious mark of Vaishnavas which is vertical and points upward)”. 1

    God Vasudeva addressing him told as follows:

    The Brahmachari (unmarried student of Vedas) and Grahastha (householder) after reciting the following prayer: “Oh God who holds the wheel, mace and conch, Oh Achyutha who is staying in Dwaraka, Oh Govinda, Oh Lotus eyed one,
    please protect me, who has surrendered to you.” should apply Urdhva Pundra in his forehead and other 12 places with his pure finger (finger next to the little finger) reciting either the Vishnu Gayathri or the 12 names of the Lord viz., Kesava, Narayana, Madhava, Govinda, Vishnu, Madhusudana, Trivikrama, Vamana, Sreedhara, Hrishikesa, Padmanabha and Damodhara. 2

    The Sanyasi should wear the Urdhva Pundra with his fourth finger on the head, forehead and chest chanting the Pranava (Om). 3

    Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are three in number: Sthoola (macro), Sookshma (micro) and Karana (cause); are three worlds above: Bhoo, Bhuva and Suva; are three Vedas: Rig, Yajur and Sama; are three states: waking up, dream and sleep. The Urdhva Pundras are three viz., Aa, Uu and Ma. These Urdhva Pundras are full of Pranava and full of the letter Om. That one pranava has only become any. The Lord of the ‘Om’ takes you above. So you have to wear Urdhva Pundra. 4

    That sage who wears four things upward viz., stick, bravery, yoga and Urdhva Pundra would reach the high status of salvation. This stable knowledge would reach me naturally through devotion. 5

    Om ! Let my limbs and speech, Prana, eyes, ears, vitality
    And all the senses grow in strength.
    All existence is the Brahman of the Upanishads.
    May I never deny Brahman, nor Brahman deny me.
    Let there be no denial at all:
    Let there be no denial at least from me.
    May the virtues that are proclaimed in the Upanishads be in me,
    Who am devoted to the Atman; may they reside in me.
    Om ! Let there be Peace in me !
    Let there be Peace in my environment !
    Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !

    Here ends the Vasudevopanishad, included in the Sama-Veda.

    Savitri Upanishad.

    Om ! Let my limbs and speech, Prana, eyes, ears, vitality And all the senses grow in strength.
    All existence is the Brahman of the Upanishads.
    May I never deny Brahman, nor Brahman deny me.
    Let there be no denial at all:
    Let there be no denial at least from me.
    May the virtues that are proclaimed in the Upanishads be in me, Who am devoted to the Atman; may they reside in me.

    Om ! Let there be Peace in me ! Let there be Peace in my environment !
    Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !
       1-2. Who is Savitar, who is Savitri ? Who is Savitar, who is Savitri ?
    Agni is Savitar, earth is Savitri.
    Where there is Agni there is earth and where is earth there is Agni.
    The two are causes forming one pair.
    Varuna alone is Savitar, water – Savitri.
    When there is Varuna etc., — they are the sources, forming a pair.

    3-6. (Again) Air alone is Savitar, ether is Savitri.
    Where there is air there is ether (and vice versa) – they are twin sources, forming a pair.
    Sacrifice alone is Savitar and metres are Savitri – where there is sacrifice there are metres (and vice versa).
    Thunder is Savitar and lightning is Savitri; where there is lightning (and vice versa). These two are twin sources.

    7-8. The moon is Savitar and stars are Savitri.
    Where there is the moon, there are the stars (and vice versa) – these two are twin sources.

    9. Man is Savitar, woman is Savitri.
    Where there is a man there is a woman and vice versa.
    They form one pair of sources.

    10. Mind is Savitar and world is Savitri – where there is mind, there is woman (and vice versa) – these two are twin sources.

    11. Of Savitri the first foot is Earth. ‘Of that Savitar, the admirable; fire indeed is adorable, water and moon are adorable.
    The second foot is Bhuvar, the mind region; ‘we meditate on the radiance of that deity’ – the fire is the radiance; sun, moon are radiance.

    12. The third foot is the firmament – which may inspire our thoughts – this woman and man bring forth.

    13. He who knows this Savitri conquers death.

    14-15. Of Bala and Atibala Virat Purusha is the seer, Gayatri the metre and deity.
    A, U, M are seed letters etc.
    Their application is to the removal of hunger etc., ‘klam’ etc., are the group of six limbs.

    Meditation: I ceaselessly practise these two, fronted by the moon pouring life into all, adept in removing sin, the rays of Vedic wisdom, whose are forms are Aum, whose bodies are solar in form !

    Om, hsim bala, great goddess; hrim, mighty one; klim, yielder of four-fold human goals, granter of the boon of Savitar; hrim, adorable light of the deity !

    O Atibala, embodiment of all mercy, destroyer of hunger and fatigue, we meditate on you who may inspire our thoughts. O essence of inspiration, adorned with the crown of Pranava, Hum, Phat, Svaha.

    One who knows thus accomplishes his talks and shares his realm with Savitri.

    This is the Upanishad.
       Om ! Let my limbs and speech, Prana, eyes, ears, vitality And all the senses grow in strength.
    All existence is the Brahman of the Upanishads.
    May I never deny Brahman, nor Brahman deny me.
    Let there be no denial at all:
    Let there be no denial at least from me.
    May the virtues that are proclaimed in the Upanishads be in me, Who am devoted to the Atman; may they reside in me.

    Om ! Let there be Peace in me ! Let there be Peace in my environment ! Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !

    Wrong pronunciation might cause unpleasant effects.

     

    Get a competent Guru and be initiated.

     

    If your desire is strong enough the Guru shall find you.

     

    You may chant Guru Brahma sloka to get a competent Guru or pray Lord Subrahmanya, you shall get your Guru.

     

    A True Guru does not advertise, not easy to identify, nor does he accept money.

     

    He is bound to test you before initiation.

     

    With so many constraints why do I post these?

     

    There are three reasons.

     

    I am shocked to find that many great Religions, eg. African Religion, have been  wiped off, the people themselves not sure of their roots, by a systematic effort to erase these treasures.

     

    Despite all this our Scriptures have survived, thanks to the Oral Traditions and the unstinting devotion of selfless Brahmins, who, despite their poor economic conditions, have preserved these Jewels.

     

    My effort is to make these Public so that some people may be benefited, and more importantly these shall be saved and preserved for posterity.

     

    I find the present generation to be curious and follow things if explained patiently in a language they understand, that is Science.

     

    Through my post, with my limited Knowledge and resources, I am trying to communicate to the curious younger generation and hope they shall carry our traditions into the future.

     

    Another important factor is that these treasures are not a figment of imagination of fertile minds but a revelation arrived at after assiduous practice

     

    and

     

    they stand the test of Modern Science of to-day and transcends it.
