BASIS OF VEDAS COMPILATION.

The deeds or kriyas mentioned in the Vedas is indestructible, but the tradition of Yagya's should not be discontinued. Vedas are the writings of the observations made by the ancient sages.

As this oral tradition developed things started to get disorganized. As per Brahmand Puraan,in Dwapar yug Maharishi Vyas organized them and distributed them amongst his disciples for further clarification. The divisions were compiled from a single Yajurved & divided into 4 parts.
The work of compilation was distributed amongst Jaimini, Sumantu Vaishampayan and Paeel rishis.They came to be known as Rigved, Yajurved, Samved and Atharvaved. The fifth disciple was given the task of of explaining and interpreting the Puraan and their history.
His name was Lomharshan, Whom we commonly know as Sutji.

1. In Rig Ved we mostly find the mantras pertaining to Yagya which can be sung for the worldly good and benefit. Also the importance of Priest emerged from here.
2. In Atharvaved, we find mantras pertaining to Brahmatatva or the spiritual and essential Truth. Here the karmakaand for the Kings was described in detail.
3.Samved:- Whatever part of the above mentioned Vedas was left out,it was compiled as Samved.
4.Yajurved:- Whatever was left from the compilation of Samved, was then compiled in Yajurved. It defines the ways and means of how a Yagya should be conducted.

Thereafter a long tradition of sages followed. In this tradition we find Rishi Yagyavalka who was one of the
most learned Rishi of his time. It is said that he was so sharp that none of the other rishis could answer his questions in King Janaks court. He was declared as the most learned one. Rishi Shakalya challenged him, On loosing had to face death penalty.

Rig Ved 1.36.7

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

1/9


Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

2/9

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.

#Ramayana #LecturesOnTheRamayana

In the past, we had a glimpse of Lakshmana's devotion towards Sri Rama, his brother and father figure.

However, it is interesting to note his unique relationship with Sita, especially as seen by from her perspective.

Thread below

1/

We all know about the Golden Deer / Maricha incident and the way Sita influences Lakshmana to go in search of his brother.

Personally, I am unable to get 2 strong emotional points in one thread and hence, I will skip this incident for today.

2/

In Sundara Kanda, when Hanuman meets Sita, she says the following

सिंहस्कन्धो महाबाहुर्मनस्वी प्रियदर्शिनः।
पितृवद्वर्तते रामे मातृवन्मां समाचरन्।।

Lakshmana, who has lionshoulders and strong arms, who is handsome, who takes Rama as his father & treats me as his own mother

3/

ह्रियमाणां तदा वीरो न तु मां वेद लक्ष्मणः।
वृद्धोपसेवी लक्ष्मीवान् शक्तो न बहुभाषिता।।

Heroic Lakshmana, did not know while I was borne away. He is prosperous, foremost in serving elders. He is energetic and reserved in his speech like my father-in-law ..

4/

He is a prince dear (to his brother).

These are from Sarga-38, shlokas 60 and 61.

There are 3 distinct points which I want to draw the attention of the reader to.

1. She also compares Lakshmana to Dasaratha much like how Rama did when he constructed the hut in panchavati
