In This Issue

This is the July 2015 issue of 'Itihas Divakar', a quarterly research journal. It includes an editorial on the importance of the Sanskrit language. The main articles cover diverse topics such as an analysis of Sanjivani Vidya, the concept of Avatarism in Indian culture, the scientific aspects of the Bhumi Sukt from the Atharva Veda, the greatness of Goswami Tulsidas, the ancient Indian agricultural system, and a tribute to a great Karmayogi. The journal presents in-depth research on historical, cultural, and philosophical subjects.

Key Highlights

  • 01The editorial presents the Sanskrit language as the imperishable repository of India's sage tradition and knowledge-science, forming the basis of its culture.
  • 02The analysis of Sanjivani Vidya interprets it not as the art of reviving a dead body, but as the process of making a discouraged society self-respecting and vibrant again by reminding it of its glorious past.
  • 03The concept of 'Avatarvaad' (incarnation) in Indian culture is discussed in detail, describing the purpose and reality of Vishnu's various avatars from the Rigveda to the Puranas.
  • 04Based on Vedic texts, it is shown that the ancient Aryans were not just pastoralists but had profound knowledge of agricultural systems, and farming was their main occupation.
