Veda Puspanjali volume-2

This book is the culmination of a lot of study and research. Today, it has become difficult for man to understand the essence of the Vedas due to their vastness and varied interpretations. It is therefore our humble attempt to collate the Vedic hymns chanted in the divine presence of our lord. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and provide the purport of the Mantras for easy understanding. Vedic Literature forms the foundation of the glorious spiritual culture of Bharath. The evolution of the Vedic thought starting from adoring the various natural forces as manifestations of the Divine, to the ultimate proclamations of oneness with the Divine, forms the vast body of Vedic literature. Upanishads which contain the highest Vedic philosophy, often referred to as Vedanta, are the crown of Vedic literature. The highest importance and significance of Vedas can be understood from the fact that, in Bharat, no auspicious activity can start without chanting of Vedic hymns at the beginning. Veda Puspanjali is a bouquet of Vedic blossoms from the students of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, at the Divine Lotus Feet of the Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the Veda Purusha Himself. At a time when generally the teaching of Vedas even in traditional schools, is confined to mere chanting of Veda mantras without going into either a study of their meaning or a contemplation on their experience, pains and efforts taken by the student compiler is worth appreciating as essential purport of the various hymns in English along with their Sanskrit text in Devanagiri script and their transliteration in English is given which makes this a unique collection.
