Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I see that some people on this site quote from the Vedas and are familiar with them, so it's quite likey they have access to them. I've been searching for suitable English translations for a long time. Since they are our Sruti, we should make an effort to study and understand them so that they are not forgotten. I am looking for a Good Translation and Commentary on the Vedas. I know that the ones by European and American authors are no good (apart from David Frawley). I am aware of the Vedas editions by Swami Dayananda Saraswati of Arya Samaj and also Sri Aurobindo's commentaries. I would like to know what readers here make of these versions? I would like some recommendations from anyone here who may know of good editions available and where to purchase from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 The best is to beguin from the translations of the vedic literature by His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivcedanta Swami Prabhupada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Yes, but Prabhupada's books were mainly based on either Srimad Bhagvatam (Bhagvata Purana) and the Bhagavad Gita. Although they are termed vedic literature, I'm specifically after the 4 Vedas (Samhita portions). Gokul, thanks for that site, it was dealing with Sri Aurobindo's interpretation, but isn't it with an Advaitist interpretation? Is there a Vishistadvatist interpretation available? I've also found a good site selling Vedic books with and Arya Samaj interpretation. http://www.vedicbooks.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
