− | Sampradayasiddha vishaya means something that is established through the experience of sampradaya; it does not refer to spurious baseless traditions. People like Max Muller, H. H. Wilson, are scholars who did not go through the rigor of Bharatiya sampradaya, hence their perspectives are different from traditional scholars. Many scholars agree that the most digressive opinions have been given in the recent colonial times more than any other period. Hence to protect the concepts the Vedas have been kept secret and given only to people who adhere to that tradition. [[Upanishads (उपनिषदः)|Upanishads]] have describe vidyas which are so esoteric that if they fall into the hands of undeserving people will bring about very undesirable effects on the mankind, hence they are called Rahasya (secret). It was the rigor and commitment of the Maharshis that has kept the [[Vedapatha Paddhati (वेदपाठपद्धतिः)|Vedapatha paddhi]] alive since ages. It is this focus on the Sampradayasiddha vishayas which is lacking in the present day society, which Dharmawiki aims to revive. Lets bring back out tradition lets reclaim our adhikara! Lets us bow in respect to people like Shri. Abhijeet Dinkar Savale of Trayamabakeshwar about whom Indiafacts author Shri. Surendra Chandra mentions the following with reverence.<ref>http://indiafacts.org/after-millenia-tradition-reborn-vaidika-bharata/</ref> <blockquote>''Abhijeet’s hereditary shaakha was the Rig Veda, but he was forced to undergo basic training in the Madhyandina Shaakha of the Shukla Yajur Veda instead. Despite his family’s straitened circumstances, Abhijeet volunteered to spend years in learning the Rig Veda, in order to carry forward the legacy bequeathed to him.''</blockquote>Existence of Gotras (lineages) and Svadhyaya (as in Brahmayajna which is one of the [[Panchamahayajnas (पञ्चमहायज्ञाः)|Panchamahayajnas]]) of the Vedas is an important concept that relied heavily on sampradaya. Svadhyaya refers to the study of a particular shaka of the Veda by the persons belonging to that shaka. This ensured the continuity of the Veda shaka. In older days, a person born in the community belonging to Rig veda shakas, studied only that Veda shaka; he would not be studying Yajurveda. This ensured that the Rigveda shaka continued through the generations from father to son. The same concept evolved for the development of gotras.<ref>Personal Communication of Dr. K. S.
