| In the first few years between the 73 to 83, understood, When I took my work on the Vedas many people discourage me people who know a little Sanskrit and more of English, so called professors of philosophy so called professor of Sanskrit, they decried me and said why do you do this why do you do this? i have been taken the standard reference of this and that. On the other hand, Sanskrit pandit said if our text are there why do you worry about translating them, why do you worry about somebodies distorting. This gap is to be filled, I am very happy to say in modern times there is some enlightening, not enough in universities but by gurukulas and the voluntary bodies like yours, you train up whole army of people, army of people with sound Sanskrit they must be rooted in etymology for example etymology nirukta accounting for words. We take your dravy for now. We call dravyas, buddhists dravyas, Jada dravyas, God is dravyas man is dravya, you are dravyas what is dravyas? The word dravyas is translated as substance. The word substance means something which does not change, it means absolute, if god is absolute then the world is Maya if the world is absolute and god is Maya. two things which don't make meaning to each in terms of its relations becomes mutual maya. The word dravyas doesn't mean them, the word dravyas comes from drava, to flow, fluid, because the world is flowing god is also flowing God is not mute is not a mute, is not sakshi, god is a participant in the world of process. And if the world enters in the wrong direction then God manages himself in the avatara and therefore we have to go back to the original meaning of the word dravya and in order to do this and convince people in English one must have tarka, vyakarna, niruktha, vedanta, jotisha. Vedanta also is very important after knowing these things if one comes to vedanta and then also is endowed with good knowledge of English something he will come out of it. Until you know nirukta ,until you know vyasakas, until you know saunaka's Brihad devata, you can't account for the difference between the word Agni, Varuna, vaishvanra,shrist etc. These are different functional names of one God, they are not different gods they are not different Gods. | | In the first few years between the 73 to 83, understood, When I took my work on the Vedas many people discourage me people who know a little Sanskrit and more of English, so called professors of philosophy so called professor of Sanskrit, they decried me and said why do you do this why do you do this? i have been taken the standard reference of this and that.
