Post- 5. ================================================================ Chapter-1. Section-1. Mantram-5.  ============================================================== "Tatrapara Rg-vedo yajur-vedah  sama-vedo'tharva-vedah siksa  kalpo vyakaranam niruktam chando jyotisam-iti,  atha para yaya tad aksaram adhigamyate." (1.1.5).  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very interesting! It gives a blow at the very root of our imagination that the Vedas are the highest knowledge. The Rigveda Samhitas, and everything connected to the Rigveda, such as the Brahmanas, and the Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda, are all lower knowledge only, my dear friend. There are four Vedas.

Generally, such a thing is not possible. If you know one thing, you know only that thing. The knowledge of A does not involve the knowledge of B, because A cannot be B. One thing cannot be another thing; it is the law of contradiction in logic. So what is this question?

To the sage Saunaka, who queried in this manner, Angir...

Chapter:-2. Section:-1. Slokam:-3. Etasmaj-jayate  prano  manah  sarvendriyani  ca, kham  vayur-jyotir-apah  prthivi  visvasya  dharini. From Him are born the Prana ( life ), the mind, all the organs, the sky ( Akasa), the wind (Vayu), the fire ( Jyotih ), thewater ( Apah), and the earth( Prthivi) which supports all. From the Supreme Reality explained in the previous mantra, was created the entire world, knowable and knowing objects. Thus here, we have the enumeration explaining that the five elements, the ten senses, the Prana and the mind came out of Brahmam( The Supreme). It is Sastrik declaration that the form--quality of creation has come out of seventeen tattvas. Also, it declares that the entire world of activity (prana), of feelings(mind), of cognition ( sense organs), and the outer world of the five great elements have all the same source in the eternal Realty as explained in the previous mantra, In case, the pyre Exis...
