O knihe

The common populace in the Vedic and post-Vedic era, lived in SPIRITUAL INDIA. They relished the company and the companionship of the seers, and felt blessed. The sages had their hermitages, close to the populated areas, a little distance away in the deep woods, or on the mountains, near the rivers, or rivulets, or lakes. The worldly needs of the common people were too few, just meagre in the form of food, shelter and clothing. They lived a simple life in the lap of nature, enjoying the nature's plenty. They were happy with this kind of simple and ordinary life sans any opulence. But down the millennium, things have undergone a complete metamorphosis. Spiritual India has taken a down-turn, and become Secular India. The common people, by and large, have become oblivious of their past heritage qua the sages from whom their genealogy, their lineage, emanated. People have become more materialistic, and less spiritualistic. Yet a large chunk of populace continues to follow the religious and spiritual practices, reciting Gayatri mantra, the Hanuman Chalisa, holding gatherings and listening to religious stories and discourses culled from scriptures and holy books, and performing yajnas. In this book, an attempt has been made to retrieve the learned sages, and some important mythical legends, from the hoary past to bring them closer to the present generation.
