Once I visited Sri Ramkrishna Ashram and requested its manager of book sell department to show me the books of Vedas. He was a Bengali brahmachari trained in Ramkrishna mission. After searching for about five minutes, he kept in front of me a small booklet of some 20-25 pages. It was about Rudra adhyay generally known as Rudri. I told him that in fact I wished for the books of THE VEDAS i.e. Rig, Yajur etc. He regretted for the same.

Meanwhile, Head Sannyasi of this Ashram came to us and asked me what I wanted. When I enquired for The Vedas, instead of properly replying to my query, he asked me: “What will you do with the Vedas?”

I replied: “Books are meant for reading & studying only, Sir. I want to read the Vedas.”

He told me: “Be truthful - that is your Vedas. Be honest - that is your Vedas” etc.

Debkumar Lahiri |86.96.229.xxx |Y-m-d H:i:s you may see the articles in the following site quoted:http://www.scribd.com/debkumar1951 many original vedas are available in Web sites. Also you can read Vedas with translation, you may skip the explanations which are trash in most of the cases. ReplyQuote 0 0
