Preface The Vedic era in Indian history is presumed to be the time period between c. 1500 - c.500 BCF. Many scholars and historians have marked it as the golden period of Indian history because it's contributions to mankind have been most significant when we take a look at the known history of the Indian subcontinent. The Vedic age has gifted us Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedic Astrology, which are all derivations from four main Vedic texts. Though three of these Vedic sciences deal with different aspects of life, they are all intended for the overall well-being of mankind. Our society is now realizing the importance of the Vedic teachings and reverting back to it. The Vedas also advocate a lifestyle which everyone aspires to today but is found to be unpractical by many rational thinkers. This book will take you through the Vedic lifestyle, which would urge you rethink your lifestyle goals.

Introduction Under the designation of the Veda-knowledge par excellence, that is sacred knowledge- are comprehended all the texts representing the religion which the Aryans brought with them into India and developed during many centuries on Indian soil. More exactly the term refers to a series of texts, of very various content and form, the common feature of which is that they are believed to derive from a "hearing" (sruti), that is, a revelation: they are held to have emanated from Brahman, to have been "breathed" by God in the form of "words", while their human authors, the Rishis or inspired sages, did no more than receive them by a direct "vision".
