Yogiraj Basu wrote the religious book Vaidik Sahityer Itihas.
What is the main purpose of Veda?
The book Vaidik Sahityer Itihas (Introduction to the Vedas – History of Vedic Literature) was written by Dr. Yogiraj Basu. There was a special need for such a book written in Bengali on the introduction to the Vedas. Such a valuable complete book containing a lot of information about the Vedas is not only in Bengali but also in any Indian language or in English. There are a small number of books on the introduction to the Vedas in Bengali, but all of them are incomplete and one-sided. In some, the book has been expanded by writing a little about the Vedas and adding Vaishnava songs. In some books, it has been completed by writing a little about the Vedas. In some books, more than a hundred pages are filled with translations of Vedic verses, in some, Sinhala proverbs on non-Vedic topics have been included. In some books, the English language article is only a summary of the history of the Vedas.
The author Yogiraj has painstakingly recorded extensive information on the Samhita, Brahman, Aranyaka, Upanishad, Vedas, Vedanga, branches of the Vedas, the tones of the Vedas, different methods of reading the Vedas, sacrifices, and the theory of deities. The discussion of the branches of the Vedas, different methods of reading the Vedas, detailed descriptions of sacrifices, judgment of deities, and the tones of the Vedas in comparison with the tones of the Greek language, etc., is not found in other historical books on the Vedas.
What is the meaning of Purva Mimamsa?
In judging the authenticity and eternity, non-personality of the Vedas, the author Yogiraj Basu has mentioned the conclusions of six philosophies and a comparative discussion of those conclusions and, apart from the six philosophies, the conclusions of Panini, Patanjali, etc. The author’s profound scholarship, extensive study of philosophy, authority in philosophy, and fine judgment are well manifested in all these discussions. In the introduction of the Vedic commentary, the Indian philosopher Sayanacharya did not give the conclusions of the six philosophies of judging the authenticity, non-personality, etc. And he did not discuss all kinds of philosophy. Generally, in the history books of Vedic literature written in the East or the West, the introduction of Samhita, Brahmana, Upanishads, etc., the chronology, etc. are seen.
What is the full meaning of Veda?
But the introduction of all the branches of the four Vedas that have been received till date, the various types of reading of the Vedic mantras, the tone of the Vedas, the judgment of the authenticity of the Vedas, the judgment of eternity, the judgment of impermanence, the signs of the Brahmanical texts, the judgment of the authenticity, the identity of all the printed and unprinted commentators of the four Vedas, the complete picture of the education of men and women in the Vedic age, etc. are not seen. All these principles have been included in this book with other discussions. Yogiraj has tried to record the conclusions of six philosophies regarding the eternity, authenticity and impermanence of the Vedas.
Who wrote the Purva Mimamsa?
The book by author Yogiraj Basu is written in a simple and fluent language. This book has filled a big gap not only for the general readership but also for undergraduate and postgraduate Sanskrit students. The extensive discussion of the history of Vedic literature, the history of the Vedas, the history of the Purva Mimamsa Sutras, the eternity, authenticity, impermanence and signs of the Vedas, will be of immense help to postgraduate students in understanding the introduction of the Rigveda and the decisions of other philosophies related to the Vedas. Similarly, the extensive discussion in this book by author Yogiraj Basu will be helpful in understanding Vedic literature and the extensive discussion of theology and the eternal interpretation of the gods.
