Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 AATHREYA - Dr.BalaKrishna Murthy Ramaraju Vedic Rushis Yajanvalkya is a great Vedic scholar . He is adept in all Vedas , especially Yajurveda which he learnt from Sage Vaishampaayana who himself learnt it from Veda Vyaasa. Once when Vaishampaayana asked Yaajnavalkya to recite Krishna Yajur Veda in the court of local ruler , Yaajnavalkya refused to do so; whereupon Vaishampaayana asked Yaajnavalkya to leave behind what he has learnt so far which was duly obeyed by Yaajnavalkya and this became Thaithireeya Upanishath. Yajnavalkya approached Soorya and by His grace learnt Shukla Yajur Veda , a version of Yajurveda , aka Vaajasaneya Samhitha. Vaajasaneyam = Nithya Annadaanam Yajnavalkya's father is a Vaajasaneya= a nithya annadaani , a perfect host. Yaajnavalkya married Kaathyaayani and Maithreyi. Kaathyaayani is a down to earth House wife , whereas Maithreyi is a great vedic scholar. KaNva Muni , foster father of Shakunthala , is the most famous Sishya of Yaajnavalkya . Followers of Shukla Yajurveda are known as Yaajnavalkeeyas aka KaaNveeyas aka Prathama Saakhis aks Vaajasaneyas. Yaajnavalkya is the author of A Smruthi and Aadithya Kavacham. Bharadwaaja Muni is an Aeronautical Engineer ; he is the son of Bruhaspathi and to his family lineage belongs DroNaacharya. Shakunthala-Dushyantha son Bharatha passed on his kingdom to progeny of Bharadwaaja Mahaa Muni. aathreya-dr.balakrishnamurthy ramaraju Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 dear shivbhaktds om namo bhagawate rudraya further to what doctor ramaraju garu has said, i would like to praise few more words on sage yajnavalkya yajnavalkya's father did a tapas for lord brahma and requested lord brahma to bless him a son to spread brahma vidya and lord brahma himself is born as yajnavalkya. yajnavalkya learnt rigveda from pashkala muni, samaveda from jaimini muni, atharva veda from aruna muni and approached vaisampayana to learn yajurveda. however, yajnavalkya displays extreme pride and arrogance and his guru vaisampayana asks him to leave the yajurveda that yajnavalkya learnt. later on yajnavalkya worships lord sun and learns the same. sage yajnavalkya is none other than lord brahma himself. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com , " BalaKrishnaMurthy Ramaraju " <dr.balakrishnamurthy.ramaraju wrote: > > AATHREYA - Dr.BalaKrishna Murthy Ramaraju > > Vedic Rushis > > Yajanvalkya is a great Vedic scholar . > > He is adept in all Vedas , especially > > Yajurveda which he learnt from Sage > > Vaishampaayana who himself learnt > > it from Veda Vyaasa. > > Once when Vaishampaayana asked > > Yaajnavalkya to recite Krishna Yajur > > Veda in the court of local ruler , > > Yaajnavalkya refused to do so; > > whereupon Vaishampaayana asked > > Yaajnavalkya to leave behind what > > he has learnt so far which was duly > > obeyed by Yaajnavalkya and this > > became Thaithireeya Upanishath. > > Yajnavalkya approached Soorya > > and by His grace learnt Shukla Yajur > > Veda , a version of Yajurveda , aka > > Vaajasaneya Samhitha. > > Vaajasaneyam = Nithya Annadaanam > > Yajnavalkya's father is a Vaajasaneya= > > a nithya annadaani , a perfect host. > > Yaajnavalkya married Kaathyaayani > > and Maithreyi.
