Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In various Hindu scriptures like Varnashrama Dharma, human religion, Karma Yoga, Ashtanga yoga, Jnana yoga, Bhakti yoga, etc., all the means of attaining God have been described simply. Through these, the easy path of attainment of God has been shown through devotion to both the means and the end. In these most sacred texts, psychology, sociology, world origins, and the history of the Aryan race are described in such beautiful, simple, and cultured language that the holy feelings are communicated to the readers unintentionally. The Hindu texts are certainly full of great secrets. Keeping this rule in mind, these texts should be studied and contemplated. In the scriptures, all the faults are said to be discarded and the inauspicious fruitful. There is no place in this for lust, anger, greed, attachment, adultery, etc. The sacred texts are supposed to bestow age, health, and confirmation; by reading or listening to them, one becomes free from all sins. All the Mahabharata, Shiva Purana, Shri Krishna Leela, Ramayana, Veda, Gita, etc. are all Hindu Holy Scriptures, which have guided people in developing society since time immemorial. We have tried to transform the big epics like Mahabharata, Shiva Purana, Shri Krishna Leela, Ramayana, Veda, etc., into a small and easy quiz format by which one can playfully learn about the Hindu Holy Scriptures. This particular book contains objective-type questions. This Quiz Book appeases curiosity about the Hindu Holy Scriptures interestingly.

Book Synopsis Hindu Scriptures by : Robert Charles Zaehner
Download or read book Hindu Scriptures written by Robert Charles Zaehner and published by Dutton Adult. This book was released on 1966 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hindu scriptures" presents a collection of traditional Hindu texts in English translation. The ancient scriptures of Hinduism are in Sanskrit. These texts are classified into two: Shruti and Smriti. Shruti is apauruey, "not made of a man" but revealed to the rishis (seers), and regarded as having the highest authority, while the smriti are manmade and have secondary authority. They are the two highest sources of dharma, the other two being ia chra/Sadchara (conduct of noble people) and finally tma tui ("what is pleasing to oneself"). Hindu scriptures were composed, memorized and transmitted verbally, across generations, for many centuries before they were written down. Over many centuries, sages refined the teachings and expanded the Shruti and Smriti, as well as developed Shastras with epistemological and metaphysical theories of six classical schools of Hinduism. Shruti (lit. that which is heard) primarily refers to the Vedas, which form the earliest record of the Hindu scriptures, and are regarded as eternal truths revealed to the ancient sages (rishis).There are four Vedas Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda and Atharvaveda. Each Veda has been subclassified into four major text types the Samhitas (mantras and benedictions), the Aranyakas (text on rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices and symbolic-sacrifices), the Brahmanas (commentaries on rituals, ceremonies and sacrifices), and the Upanishads (text discussing meditation, philosophy and spiritual knowledge). The first two parts of the Vedas were subsequently called the Karmaka (ritualistic portion), while the last two form the Jnaka (knowledge portion, discussing spiritual insight and philosophical teachings). The Upanishads are the foundation of Hindu philosophical thought, and have profoundly influenced diverse traditions. Of the Shrutis (Vedic corpus), they alone are widely influential among Hindus, considered scriptures par excellence of Hinduism, and their central ideas have continued to influence its thoughts and traditions. The Upanishads have played a major role ever since their appearance There are 108 Muktik Upanishads in Hinduism, of which between 10 and 13 are variously counted by scholars as Principal Upanishads. The most notable of the Smritis ("remembered") are the Hindu epics and the Puranas. The epics consist of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The Bhagavad Gita is an integral part of the Mahabharata and one of the most popular sacred texts of Hinduism. It is sometimes called Gitopanishad, then placed in the Shruti ("heard") category, being Upanishadic in content. The Puranas, which started to be composed from c. 300 CE onward, contain extensive mythologies, and are central in the distribution of common themes of Hinduism through vivid narratives. The Yoga Sutras is a classical text for the Hindu Yoga tradition, which gained a renewed popularity in the 20th century. Since the 19th-century Indian modernists have re-asserted the 'Aryan origins' of Hinduism, "purifying" Hinduism from its Tantric elements and elevating the Vedic elements. Hindu modernists like Vivekananda see the Vedas as the laws of the spiritual world, which would still exist even if they were not revealed to the sages. In Tantric tradition, the Agamas refer to authoritative scriptures or the teachings of Shiva to Shakti, while Nigamas refers to the Vedas and the teachings of Shakti to Shiva. In Agamic schools of Hinduism, the Vedic literature and the Agamas are equally authoritative.
