Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Journalist: Can we find the Vedas in their original form? HH Sri Jeeyar Swamiji: Vedas are available now. by original Vedas, we mean, the text part of them only. The text part is still in practice. But, out of the 1,131 branches of the four Vedas, only 11 branches are available. Of them, we are teaching six important branches in our Vedic University, under the Jeeyar Educational Trust (JET) at Sithanagaram in Guntur district, AP, India. Journalist: What happened to the remaining five branches? HH Sri Jeeyar Swamiji: The remaining branches are available with us. They are available not only with us, but also with other scholars. Journalist: With so much of knowledge packed into the Vedas, what is the effort going on now to make them available to everyone? HH Sri Jeeyar Swamiji: Now a systematic effort to study the Vedas and interpret their meaning is being done by various institutions and individuals. Some universities - both in India and foreign countries - have also courses in Vedic studies. A concerted research is being conducted on the Vedas at various universities. Earlier, people used to believe whatever is said of the Vedas. In the process some distortions also found place. Some serious distortions have crept into them. Now such distorted texts of the Vedas are being corrected with valid reasoning after an extensive research. In translating the texts of the Vedas, maximum damage was done by the noted German scholar, Max Muller. Recently we have come across a serious discrepancy in the translation of “Mythrayani.” _____________ Revelations by Divine during a press conference in 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
