Books on the Vedas

Dear Narasimhayeji:

 

Namaste! I'm glad the discussion of the Vedas has come up. I have a

couple of questions about these versions that are being offered by

Rudra Centre. Are the books that are mentioned individually the same

ones that are being offered in the set, but just sold on their own?

 

Are these complete versions of the Vedas or are they a selection? My

understanding is that the Veda's are such a huge collection of hymns

that it would take many volumes to present them all.

 

Is there a

transliteration of the Sanskrit into English as well as a translation

so that those who have difficulty with the Devanagari can follow the

Sanskrit?

 

Also, can you tell us something about the physical books

themselves; ie how many pages, what kind of binding, the size of the

books, who they are published by and any other information that would

help me know more about them, so I can make an informed purchase.

 

And lastly is there an index to words and phrases or some kind of

cross reference of key phrases that would help a person to find

verses on different subjects?

 

Like my fellow member I would be very

interested to have a complete set of the Vedas for my studies of

Sanatana Dharma. It is so vital for those who are on the spiritual

quest.

 

Thanks for providing much information and resources.

Kumari
