Changes

With the discovery of paper and, through the centuries, improved stationery material was the main means of preserving the vedic literature. Western Indologists have generated volumes of their interpretation of vedas and took many manuscripts from India to other places like Germany. However, the main drawback was the non-availability of a voice preservation method since early 18th century. Vedic language which primarily depends on the accents and pronunciation, was not preserved and thus, many शाखा-s || shakhas have been lost with those learned scholars since few centuries. Today, many manuscripts and valuable literary treasures can be found in remote corners of the world.

A question may be, "all the मन्त्र || mantras, सूक्त || suktas, and अनुवाक || anuvakas that are being recited now did they exist then"?     

A question may be, "all the मन्त्र-s || mantras, सूक्त-s || suktas, and अनुवाक-s || anuvakas that are being recited now did they exist then"?     

To answer the non-believer and non-discerning the example of the पुरुष सूक्त || Purusha suktas and other works can be used which makes it clear that the yajna related suktas were not in the same form as presently available but were available in another form. Also, notable is the fact that a यज्ञ || Yajna would not take place unless the four chief priests presided over it. The Rig mantras must have expanded over time just as trees give us more flowers and fruits as time goes yet belonging to same species. We see that the many vedas have the Rig mantras at the foundation, laying layers of expansion of concept as the Vedas progressed to Atharvana.   

To answer the non-believer and non-discerning, the example of the पुरुषसूक्तम् || Purusha suktas and other works can be used which makes it clear that the यज्ञः ॥ yajna related सूक्तानि ॥ suktas were not in the same form as presently available but were available in another form. Also, notable is the fact that a यज्ञः || Yajna would not take place unless the four chief priests presided over it. The ऋग्मन्त्राः ॥ Rig mantras must have expanded over time just as trees give us more flowers and fruits as time goes yet belonging to same species. We see that the many vedas have the ऋग्मन्त्राः ॥ Rig mantras at the foundation, laying layers of expansion of concept as the वेदाः ॥ Vedas progressed to अथर्वणः ॥ Atharvana.   

पण्डित || Pandits (priests) or people who perform pujas or rituals either in the temple, home or workplace offer mantras, called मन्त्र पुष्प || mantra pushpa. These mantras clearly reveals that the four Vedas co-existed and not as the diabolical Indologists claimed, one after the other. The very fact that same mantras are available in different vedas in different formats indicate the oneness of all vedas.

Similarly, for posterity, the later Rishis invoked the new suktas or mantras based upon their vision (Mantra drastha) which then became a part of ऋक || Rik, यजस् || Yajus and साम || Sama Vedas. As they came more into usage they were integrated with the existing Suktas, without a change in the foundational meaning remains as in the Vedas. Over different time periods the देव || Devas nor the क्रिया || kriyas (rituals) did not change their integral meaning. This is the nature of the the सम्प्रदाय || Sampradaya style of गुरु शिष्य || Guru sishya learning (disciplined succession). This phenomenal system helped disseminate and retain knowledge widely without much difficulty. All Acharyas accept that studying the Vedas is mandatory for understanding the integral meaning of Vedas.

As they came more into usage they were integrated with the existing सूक्तानि ॥ Suktas, without a change. The foundational meaning remains as in the वेदाः ॥ Vedas.

Computers and modern digital techniques revolutionized the way vedic knowledge is read and disseminated in the present day. Many works have been compiled lately as an attempt to reconnect our Vedic heritage to our people from which we have been disconnected since the 800-year foreign domination (first by the Arabs and then by the Anglo-Saxons) of our land.

We need to revitalize our civilization like the call of Swami Dayananda post-independence to counter the Indologists' narrative of Caste system, idolatry, untouchability, all types of superstitions and slaughtering of animals in the sacrifices, the नर-मेध || Nara-medha (human sacrifices), all of which are the results of wrong Vedic interpretations, for which a heavy price is being paid by us since the last 300 years. Swami Dayananda wrote in the post-colonized context after independence whereupon he called upon his countrymen "to go back to the Vedas" for eradication of social evils as he opined that the cause of degradation and slavery of Indian nation was the ignorance of true Vedic teaching on which our culture was based and also thrived. It is true that we became independent in 1947, but then we got freedom and not independence. We continue to function as an Anglo-Saxon cultural satellite mainly as a market for its ideology through the English language and a nursery to train a new generation of sepoys and Coolies.

The central importance of the new-age Vedic translations is that it presents the Vedas from its primary sources, especially in a context where knowledge systems are directed by propaganda from Internet sources and social media and not evidence-based facts.
