some questiona- Astika

Orthodox Schools (Astika)

 

Many Hindu intellectual traditions were codified during the medieval period of Brahmanic-Sanskritic scholasticism into a standard list of six orthodox (astika) schools (darshanas), the "Six Philosophies" (ṣad-darśana), all of which cite Vedic authority as their source:[12][13][14]

 

* Nyaya, the school of logic

* Vaisheshika, the atomist school

* Samkhya, the enumeration school

* Yoga, the school of Patanjali (which assumes the metaphysics of Samkhya)

* Purva Mimamsa (or simply Mimamsa), the tradition of Vedic exegesis, with emphasis on Vedic ritual, and

* Vedanta (also called Uttara Mimamsa), the Upanishadic tradition, with emphasis on Vedic philosophy.

 

Did one of these shools write Vedas?

Did one of these shools write Vedas?

 

no. all of them are BASED on the Vedas. Vedas manifested from the breath of Lord Vishnu

What was before-

 

*6 astikas or

*4 major denominations (Vaishnavism, Shaktism, Smartism)

[Guest guest]

(its Shaivism missing)

..but question is the same..

[Guest guest]

both systems are very, very ancient (astikas and faith divisions). in essence they all relate to the basic ways to see the world.

[Guest guest]

Can we try to put that in some chronological order?

 

First there was Yajur-veda..which was then divided in to 4 vedas. Then it was Mahabharata and 18 puranas.

What about Upanishads? when were they written?

 

Can you post a direct chronological order with links to that original writing online, please?

 

(to see in the example what we are talking about)

There is no consensus among the scholars as to the chronology of the Vedas, let alone the chronology of vedic philosophical schools or religious doctrines.

to start..

 

 

The Vedas are considered the oldest Hindu texts. Scholars believe that they were written down some 2,500 years ago, though the tradition often dates them to the beginning of Kali-yuga (circa 3000 BCE). Some Hindus say that there was originally only one Veda, the Yajur, which was later divided into four. Scholars, however, usually consider the Rig-Veda the oldest of all Hindu writings. The following is an overview of the four Vedas.

Rig veda: ww.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/index.htm

 

(is this the whole Rig-veda?; where can we see a division into: #The Samhitas, #The Brahmanas, #The Aranyakas, #The Upanishads ?)

As well as dynamic. Time cannot hold the veda. The Srimad Bhagavatam, considered both a purana and a commentary on vedanta sutra, which was a song of summary to the vedas, is an example of the dynamics of vedic literature. Srimad Bhagavatam is originally four verses sung by Lord Brahma, and has many pertenent questions and answers to comprise the twelve cantos of multi verses, commentaries, purports, etc.

 

The disciples of Srila Prabhupada think of Bhagavad Gita in ter5ms of the bhaktivedanta purports. These purports can be dated to the fifties and sixties of the last century, but are, indeed, timeless, because of the representation of Srila Prabhupada, who sits rightfully on the Vyasasana, is non-different from the author of the Veda. Thus we refer to Srila Prabhupada as Bhaktivedanta, meaning one who has gleaned pure bhakti yoga from the essence of the veda. One of The original bhaktivedantas is surely Veda Vyasa, who, on order from his guru maharaja, Srila Narada Muni, derived his srimad bhagavatam as the bhakti yoga primer from his veda, which he was in frustration with due to excessive religiosity therein.

 

haribol, ys, mahaksadasa

 

PS The veda is still being composed, as above, the praise of the veda is the veda. We can get into sruti and smriti, but why? And dates are quite controversial, detract from the TRUE because time is the most bogus of illusions.

"Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti" This, too, is found first in the Upanishads, the call for tranquility, for divine stillness, for Peace everlasting.

Krishna says in Bhagavad-Gita:

 

Om Iti Ekaksharam Brahman, Vyaharan Mam Anusmaran

Yah Prayati Tyajan Deham Sa Yati Paramam Gatim

 

After being situated in this yoga practice and vibrating the sacred syllable om, the supreme combination of letters, if one thinks of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and quits his body, he will certainly reach the spiritual planets. - BG 8.13 - http://www.asitis.com/8/13.html
