Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Vedas, so the Vedas have their affect through their influence on other Hindu scriptures. Most Hindus revere the Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Bhagava), written around 200 BCE. This book sets out, in story form, the proper way to behave and think. Among the principles it puts forward are: One should live appropriately for the life (and caste) into which one is born. One should be devoted to the form of God known as Krishna. One should trust Krishna totally, relying on his benevolence, and acting out of devotion to him. One's actions should be chosen by the inherent value of those actions, not by any hoped-for benefits from them. The three ways of moving towards liberation from reincarnation: The way of knowledgeThe way of action for its own sakeThe way of devotion Thank you Regards Aravind Photos Got holiday prints?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 thanks arvind kumar ji, i have 3 vedas with me which i read little bit. I have the shukla yajur veda, taittiriya samhita of the krishna yajur veda, The sama veda, and the atharva veda, from kaashi transalated into english. But i yet do not have the Rig veda. Amongst i have been reading the atharva veda, and have completed 2 kandas. U have not mentioned the yamalas I also have the rudra yamala which is a discourse given to bhairav by bhairavi....uttartantram.....its about the kundalani yoga and different chakras and the nine primodial shaktis. I have read 11 major upani9shads when i was in college.....now i am 29. I always wish i had a good guru who would inculcate me into the vedas........but good gurus are hard to come by.....i do the study of the vedas and the shatarudriya, and the puraans all by myself..... thanks for the information anyway.... regards, kanishk Aravind Kumar wrote: Greeting soul friends, Holy Books Of Hinduism The Vedas collections of Sanskrit hymns (written down 1200-900BCE, but based on older oral versions) Brahmanas-ritual instructions (1000-650 BCE) The Upanishads , mystical works (400-200 BCE) The Bhagavad Gita (200 BCE).
