Book excerpt: Vedic literature is a most precious treasure of Indian wisdom. The literatim is vast, and includes not only the four Vedas but also Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upani-shads. As a part of the history of India, this literature constitutes a source material for understanding various aspect of Indian culture as it has grown and developed over millennia. For every lover of India, therefore, it becomes essential to turn to the portals of the Vedic literature. An attempt has been made in this boo to present to a beginner some of the most important portions of this vast literature. The Veda contains secret knowledge, and the language used to express that know ledge is symbolic and, therefore, not easily intelligible. Sri Aurobindo, has, in his great work Secret of the Vedic expounded his discovery of the seen knowledge that is contained in the Veda. An attempt has been made to reflect the discovery while expounding selects passages which have been collected in the book. India is passing through a period Renaissance, and it is felt that the recovery of the knowledge contained in the Veda is an essential task, since the future can securely be built only if it is based on the foundations which we built in the ancient times. This book will, therefore, be found relevant to the needs of all those who are keen to conceive and formulate a meaningful vision of the future of India.
