Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 undoubtedly the Rg-Veda. The word rg comes from the verb root rc, meaning 'to praise'. From the same root comes a feminine noun rc, which means 'praise' or 'verse', especially a sacred verse recited in praise of a deity. Thus we can understand the direct meaning of Rg-Veda to be 'The knowledge of sacred recitation' or, as stated in the dictionary, 'Veda of praise'. Thank you Aravind DSL Something to write home about.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Greetings soul Friends, 12.0pt"> I was thinking here on the old book « The book of Enoch ». It is a Christian version on the beginning of the world and his Goddess. Maybe I am wrong, bath I’ am French and was introduced by Swami Annand Ji in the Vedic Culture. Thanks to help me to studying Yours philosophy.

The word comes from the Sanskrit language and is derived from the verb root vid, 'to know'. Originally the Vedas were composed in Sanskrit. There are two types of Sanskrit, vaidika and laukika. The Vedic Sanskrit is called vaidika and it is more complicated both in its grammar and in the use of certain words which are only found in the Vedas. The worldly or more popular Sanskrit is called laukika. This is the language of the puranas and itihasas. The Vedas themselves do not say so much about their origin and purpose or, whatever little is said, is generally not taken very seriously by Western scholars who dismiss it as primitive belief and mythology. The most celebrated and well known part of the Vedas is undoubtedly the Rg-Veda. The word rg comes from the verb root rc, meaning 'to praise'. From the same root comes a feminine noun rc, which means 'praise' or 'verse', especially a sacred verse recited in praise of a deity. Thus we can understand the direct meaning of Rg-Veda to be 'The knowledge of sacred recitation' or, as stated in the dictionary, 'Veda of praise'. 12.0pt"> 12.0pt">Thank you 12.0pt">Aravind 12.0pt"> DSL Something to write home about.
