A COMPENDIUM OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA

Vedas are the scriptures of the Hindus and they do not owe their authority to any one individual. Sage Vyāsa codified and arranged the Vedas into four groups as Ṛk Yajur Sama and Atharva Veda. He arranged the Vedas as two sections and called the section with rituals and mantras as Karma Kānda and the second section (end part) as Jṇāna Kānda. The end part is also called Vedanta. It is the philosophical part. Vedanta is not an imagination or speculation. It is the spiritual experience of the race for centuries. It is the actual realization or the super conscious perception. The thought of the profound Indian philosophy is explained in the Upanisads. The Indo- Aryans were bold thinkers and they initiated the search for Truth.
