The students and youth of the present generation are not having adequate opportunities to know about Vedas, Sastras and other ancient scriptures of Sanatana Dharma, now generally called as Hinduism. Even the Vedic students coming out of the gurukulas are mostly confined to the preservation of the Vedic chantings. Infact even elders also are having very limited knowledge related to the Vedas. The book on “A brief introduction to Vedas and Sastras” is an attempt to provide comprehensive information about Vedas and their contents, in a question answer format. The subjects touched upon include the technical keywords, eternal principles laid down in Vedas, Sages, Dharma, Definitions, numbers of branches earlier and now, modes of intonation etc.,
