The present work is an humble attempt to gather together different views of western scholars expressed by them from time to time in the form of research works, research papers, writings, contribution into Encyclopaedia, Journals, Magazines and invited papers/articles that appeared from time to time in different Arya Magazines . Through these views we discover in Dayananda a great nationalist, great socialist, great democrat, great humanist, great animist, great egalitarian, great utilitarian, great liberator even before the birth of these ideas in the Indian state. He was a staunch supporter of human rights, social justice and equality irrespective of gender, caste, class, race, religion and region. At the same time he was a great philosopher, great thinker, great Vedic scholar and what not. This book should not be taken as merely a compilation of western scholars' views about Rishi Dayananda, but a compendium of live telecast of the Dayananda's movement in India in 19th century and his domination of Indian scenario enslaved then politically and economically by Christians, religiously by Muslims and culturally by Hindu Pundits. One will find how Rishi Dayananda frustrated the political motives of British rulers, evangelical agenda of Christian missionaries and Muslim Maulvis and exposed the dogmatic Hindu Priesthood by virtue of his sharp intellect, indomitable oratory, brave and bold attacks and formidable spiritual power. The readers of this book should not expect always a phraseology of praise from the western scholars and thinkers in respect of Dayanand. They have their own understanding of Dayanand. Sometimes they are led by their own misconstrued notions and prejudices. Sometimes they try to understand Dayanand in the light of their own philosophical, cultural and religious background which stands in sharp contrast to that of the East. Their disputed observations have been duly answered by the author of the present lines in the footnotes. The footnotes supplied by the by the author of present lines contains author's name. The footnotes that do not contain any mention of a name have been contributed by the original reviewers of Dayanand. Through the observations of western scholars, one thing is clear that the western scholarship could not afford analysis of India without analysing Dayanand's role. Dayanand was hailed as a seer and Rishi. This shows the importance Dayanand had in the eyes of western scholarship not only for the making of modern India but for the entire humanity in the 19th century.

This concordance has listed 951 Devatas underlying great laws of the spiritual, astronomical and physical nature visualized by various high spirited Rishis in the beginning of the origin of the human civilization on this globe. The various names of seers enlisted under a particular Devata head also reveal the extensive interest of various seers for the particular field of the research in the beginning of humanity on the Globe. The publication of this concordance also marks the beginning of the rational, scientific and factual translation of ancient-most scientific literature of the world.

The Vedas cannot be comprehended well until and unless the Rishi (seer) and Devata (subject matter) is properly understood. In the Vedas, we find that a particular subject was visualized and encoded in the form of Mantras by more than one seer. Under the circumstances, it would be interesting to conduct a comparative and critical study of the nature and types of the various subject matters visualized by various seers from their various subjective angles. This comparative analysis would provide a clear-cut picture as to what extent the various seers have differed or agreed in their visualization of a particular phenomenon (subject matter). This study would also provide a great help in deducing the actual intention of the original seer while interpreting the Vedic texts. In addition, the comparative picture of the various seers and deities would also help solve the various riddles impregnating the actual names of the seers, their surnames and the deities visualized by them. To enable the readers and the researchers to carry out such comparative studies regarding the seers and their respective visualizations, 'Concordance of Vedic Mantras as per Rishi and Devata' has been prepared. This concordance is a ready reference to all the seers and who worked on various subjects along with the mantras revealed to them deity-wise as compiled in the four major Samhitas of the Vedas. This concordance has listed 796 seers and the Deities visualised by them. in the beginning of the origin of the human civilization on this globe.

This is the first type of work in the history of Sanskrit linguistics. Though a number of studies on the grammatical and linguistic aspects of Vedic and Classical Sanskrit have been carried out, yet a comprehensive study taking into account various aspects of Sanskrit language from the point of modern linguistics, has remained a desideratum. The few efforts made in this direction are neither comprehensive nor systematic in their treatment. Thus a need for an exhaustive and comprehensive study of the two stages of the development of Sanskrit language from the point of view of modern linguistics, was felt since long. Keeping in view of the necessity of such a study, this work dealing with the phonology of the two stages has been carried out. The contrastive study of phonology of Vedic and Classical Sanskrit will cater to the need of Sanskrit scholars and students interested in a contrastive and comparative analysis of Vedic and Classical Sanskrit.

The present concordance is a revised, updated, improved (technique-wise and otherwise) and enlarged DevanÈgrÏ version of Bloomfield’s famous Vedic Concordance. It is a great reference work on the Vedas comprising of an alphabetic pÈda (quarter part) index of Vedic Mantras involving 120 Vedic texts. Following salient features have made the present edition more significant and valuable : The present concordance being in Devanagari script would give the readers the taste of the actual Mantra-pÈdas of the Vedic texts. It would also help the readers to understand the Vedic Mantras in a more easy and lucid manner. It contains the correct alphabetical order of various entries from the point of Devanagari orthographic system wherever Bloomfield failed to maintain. Though Bloomfield tried his best to represent the Vedic lores in a most perfect manner through Roman letters by applying diacritical marks, still nasal sounds, supra segmental sounds like jihvamooleeya and upadhmaneeya sounds could not be represented as perfectly as they should have been. Bloomfield could not distinguish between many Sanskrit sounds represented in devanagari script through his diacritical system. Moreover the diacritical system adopted by him has become outdated these days. Under the circumstances, a new student trained in the current system will find lot of difficulties to make out the century’s old system adopted and applied by him. So, the present author thought it appropriate and justified to present the Vedic concordance in the Devanagari script in an updated, revised and improved manner. We are pleased to announce that the much awaited fourth vol. has finally seen the light of the day. It is hoped that this complete four vol. work will be of great significance to all serious researchers of the Vedas. The author had to toil hard to make it palatable and as perfect as possible, still the mistakes of proof here and there cannot be ruled out.

The present work is compilation of the Rishis of various Mantras of Vedas along with the name of the devata (deity) delath with by them and the reference of the Mantra. The names of Rishis and Devatas have been arranged alphabetically. While compiling the names of various Rishis and Devatas of particular Mantra / or Mantras, the author came across the variant readings regarding the names of Rishis and Devatas in the various works cited above. All those variant readings have been cited in the concordance with reference to the works that contain those readings. The knowledge of the seers and the devatas (deities) is essential to pluck out the actual and factual meaning intended in the Vedas. We find that a particular phenomenon or deity was visualized and encoded in the form of Mantras by more than one seer. Consequent upon which all the four Samhitas recorded various seers on a particular devata and various devatas visualized by one particular seer. Under the circumstances, it would be interesting to conduct a comparative and critical study of the nature and types of the various4 laws or devatas visualized by various seers from their various subjective angles. This comparative analysis would provide a clear-cut picture as to what extent the various seers have differed or agreed in their visualization of a particular phenomenon. This study would also provide a great help in deducing the actual intention of the original seer while interpreting the Vedic texts, since the Vedas can better be interpreted with the help of the Vedas only. In addition, the comparative picture of the various seers and deities would also help solve the various riddles impregnating the actual names of the seers, their surnames and the deities visualized by them.

Given the current political degradation in India, the present book written in Hindi impresses upon political reforms in India.

India is credited with highly advance knowledge system since ancient times. Vedas and post-Vedic literature composed in Sanskrit has been the storehouse of various branches of knowledge on science, spirituality, philosophy, culture, civilization, economy, polity, law and management, ayurveda, yoga, pharmacy. This knowledge was documented from time to time and carried forward for future generations until the mass-scale destruction of Sanskrit manuscripts to plunder and loot and devastation of libraries of Nalanda, Takshshila, Vikramshila and Ujjain. It is also a fact that intellectual tradition of India has been subjected to utter neglect and stagnation and so there is an absence of Indian accounts in academic texts of India. As such, there is an ardent need to initiate a process to unlock these systems of knowledge currently atrophied due to centuries of neglect and stagnation. In view of the above, the present study was undertaken. This work is a humble attempt to apprise the readers about the advancement of Engineering and Technology in Ancient India in various fields. Hope the students and scholars will find this books equally interesting and useful in their academics pursuits in Anceint Indian Civilizational Knowledge System.

All the languages of the world have an interesting and long history of their origin and development. All of them have stemmed from their original source, Sanskrit (Vedic Sanskrit) just like various off-shoots of a tree. Some of them are directly associated with their origin and so they are easily cognizable and decipherable. Some of them, having passed through labyrinthine process of their development, indirectly and traditionally find their association with the novel inhabitants and having influenced by their new physiological, geographical and sociological backgrounds lost their originality and assumed altogether a new distinct form thus giving rise to a new family or class of languages. Nevertheless, in a way or other they have also evolved from one common source i.e. Sanskrit (Vedic Sanskrit).

The fact is that ItihÈsa, in ancient times, was studied as a science and was classified into 25 branches. It was given the status of the fifth Veda.

Bharat, the cradle of the world civilisations on the earth, is the place of origin of Vedas and through them the place of origin of all other sciences of the world. It is proved by the fact that from Vedic period till the time of Mahabharata war, science and technology were at its pinnacle. The seers of this land discovered all the laws underlying cosmic and physical creation and thereby developed a vast study material (literature) covering both the aspects of science, i.e. spiritual (metaphysical) and material (Astrophysical & physical) sciences. Who affords to forget those dark events of the human history and civilisation, when libraries at Nalanda, Vikramshila and Ujjain were set ablaze? Alexandrian library in the west too met the same fate at the hands of the enemies of civilisation. Had all the literature been preserved today intact, there would have been a different world in terms of history and sciences. Here we present a list of such scientific titles with or without their authors as are referred to in various Sanskrit texts and commentaries. Some of this literature has been located and documented, rest of the books have not been traced. With the help of this list scholars and readers working on ancient Indian sciences or interested in the scientific literature of the Bharat will be able to have an estimate of the numbers and types of the books written dealing with the various aspects of science and technology prevalent from ancient period till 18th century AD. They will also be obliged to trace more and more literature of this kind.

Thus Europeans developed their own subjective bias, dogmas and postulations in the name of ‘scientific objectivity’ to interpret the culture and history of the colonial people as per their suitability. They developed their own Eurocentric ideology and a historical framework based on their own history which was applied by them and is still applied by their followers to Indian and other cultures inappropriately. This distorted hermeneutic exercise of occidental scholars presented a flawed view of Indian culture and history. They were obsessed with fitting the data to their postulated and pre-conceived model. In this effort they first doubted and then completely negated and ignored Indian hermeneutics while interpreting Sanskrit literature, philosophy, culture and history. This resulted in the misleading interpretations of Sanskrit literature, philosophy, culture and Vedas. In this monograph, a humble attempt will be made to assess the viability of the western model of hermeneutics with respect to Indic Studies.

After the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Centre and the sequence of events that followed like war in Afghanistan, terrorist attacks on the Parliament complex in Delhi and on the American Centre in Kolkata and burning about 60 people alive at Godhra, emergence of ISIS in various parts of the world, people of India, especially the Hindus, have become a bit curious about the religion of Islam. They are trying to know more about the faith. But one is irked to observe that a group of motivated people, mostly the so called secular intellectuals, have come forward to exploit the opportunity by presenting a distorted picture of Islam, with the sinister design to confuse the entire community of non-Muslims including the Hindus. They say that the true meaning of Islam is ‘peace’ and it is an extremely tolerant and peace-loving religion which has nothing to do with terrorism. They also say that no religion teaches killing innocent people and the terrorists are killing people by transgressing the teachings of Islam, or the terrorists have no religion and so on and so forth. Above all, they are telling lies and say that the Koran does not preach bloodshed or violence. It is therefore necessary to highlight the fundamental aspects of Islam to enlighten the World Community of non-Muslims about the aims and objectives of the faith that originated in Arabia.
