Hi mam, your introduction about Vedas is very great and highly informative. Thank you God bless.

[Rocky-tqep]

Superb way of explanation mam. PDFs are good

Yajnavalkya got upadesha from Surya(in the form of horse) called Vajasaneya Samhita. This is also called Shukla Yajaurveda. Vajasaneya Samhita has 15 branches out of which 2 are important - Kaanva (Kanva Maharishi got upadesha from Yajnavalkya) and Maadhyandhina(Madhyandhina Muni got upadesha from Yajnavalkya)

I really appreciate the way you explained the essence of Vedas. There ere 4 asramas as you said Brahmacharya after Upanayanam, Gruhastha after marriage, Vanaprastha after completing all family responsibilties and handing over the charge to children.In this you can stay with your wife but as friends and staying away from other family members.The last one is the Sanyasa where you are alone in search of more knowledge and share the spiritual information you you have attained by moving one place to the other.The sanyasi is not supposed to stay at one place for long time. His ultimate goal is to know the god i.e.Brahman. The most responsible and the best is Gruhastha where you take care of brhmachari, sanyasi etc., while following other gruhastha dharma. King Janaka is the best example of gruhasthashramam and who attained full knowledge without going to the stage of sanyasi. I pray that Lord Venkateshwara's blessings be there on you always and give you healthy and long life, so that you can continue this work as much as possible.

I am not Indian but White American. However I have embraced Sanatan Dharma as my new life style 11 yr. Ago now, especially Shaiva Siddhanta (an Shaivaam) 🙏 and Shaktism ( Shaktaam) . Very recently I became interested in ISKCON and desiring to get initiated.
I absolutely love Hind:ú /Indian culture, music foodt it's beautiful and Amazing people and languages. I am actually beginning to learn Hindi, and Sanskrit alphabet.
I love Indian people so much I want to marry Into Indian family 🙏🥰 I would love so much.
For the Sukta question.
How bout Devi Suktam. Durga Suktam, and Shiv Suktam??
Although I am not sure if Suktam and Sukta are same exactly lol.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad has Yajnavalkya and Gargi Vaachaknavi samvada. He had 2 Wives Maitreyi who was interested in philosophy and Katyayini who was interested in homely affairs. A Smriti is named after him.

[heliotrope]

[umeshkrishna]

Thanks for the kind of energy and words, lot of Vedas sharing ^^, Wrong about Newton and Einstein. Gravity it's still a theory as well as the relativity. That's how we have to look at it!

[NoshNams]

Your Explanation Is Lovely However Background Sound Or Noise Is Disturbing Distraction Yo Listen

[shreybora]

Does the Sanatan Dharma scriptures promote monotheism?
