Ancient Hindu Scriptures

     Ancient Hindu Scriptures are purely of spiritual nature and considered to be 'divine' to the extent of being the 'Spoken Words of the Lord', 'Bhagavan uvacha' as stated in the Gita. These are the 'shruti vakyas', the voice heard by the ancient sages in their meditative trance. These scriptures are the Veda, Upanishads, Brahmasutras, and the Bhagavad-Gita. Hence, there is no question of writing down these scriptures albeit, often stated as dictated by Veda Vyasa and written down by Lord Ganapati (Deity of muladhara prajnya). The Brahmasutras consisting of almost 555 or 565 formulae) are attributed to Badarayana and nobody knows who this author is! He is stated to be Lord Narayana, Pure Consciousness. Here, the term 'Narayana' means, The path (yana) of flow ('nara') of Consciousness and, this all-pervasive 'Consciousness' is indeed, 'Vishnu' ('vish' meaning pervade).

   Now the question is who is the author of the Bhagavad-Gita, the ‘Divine Song’? Bhagavan Sri Krishna says, “I am Vedavyasa.” Hence, the author of all that we have as Shruti vakyas, apourusheya scriptures such as the Veda, epics and the Gita (attributed to Vedavyasa) are the spoken words of the Lord only, and they are the ‘heard voice’, ‘anahata dhvani’! May be, the learned sages heard these in the course of their transcendental meditation (atindriya dhayana). In fact, these are the thoughts or the will of the Lord ‘parabrahman’, Shree Krishna Dvaipayana as to the ways and means of creation, sustenance and dissolution? Veda vyasa means, ‘one who classified the voluminous ‘Ekayana Veda’, the knowledge imparted by Brahma to his manasa putrah Atharvana (Mundakopanishad Verse 1) In fact, this Atharvan is none other than the Brahmanaspati, Ganapati. (Rk Veda). Earlier, the Veda consisting of over a lakh verses were too much for chants and sacrificial rituals and the sages requested for abridgement or division. Accordingly, the Lord only did this! These are His own pronouncements regarding this. (See Gita Ch. X).
