Where can I buy the 4 VEDAS DOCTRINES???

Question

Where can I buy the 4 vedas doctrines??? Please, I am very desperate to buy them. I think that they are: samveda; ayurveda, athurveda and rig veda.

I also want to buy the puraanas, the upanishads and the shastras. I need to buy them in the english translation because I do not read and write hindi or sanscrit. I checked on www.amazon.co.uk but they seem to have abbreviated all 4 vedas into one book, which is very stupid.

Answer 2

The Vedas In English

Answer 3

The vedas aren't doctrines. There are four Vedas, the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. They are texts (large ones). They are hard to come by in translation into a western language. Check second hand shops.

They are online though. See my sources.

For now though: do buy the summary, they will have the most famous hymns that everybody refers to anyhow.

Answer 4

The text of Vedas is unavailable in any library, temple, museum or archaeological collection. None saw them during past millions of years. They are said to be written before the birth of any language. They were not in Sanskrit but in Pali language ie., signs of star, moon, sun, tree, animal etc. engraved on stones. Without seeing the Veda, many translated them and wrote elaborate commentaries. Other asked books can be had from different Indian publishers, translated by many with their own thoughts & philosophy.

Answer 5

Srimad Bhagavatam is the essence of the Vedas. If all the Vedas are compared to a desire tree, then SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM is the RIPENED FRUIT in that desire tree.
Suka (means parrot) spoke this to King Pariksit, and because of the touch of the parrot it has become more sweet.

The Vedas are vast with many subject matters. It was originally passed down from guru to shishya through aural reception from time immemorial and that is the reason Vedas are also called as Sruti (that which is heard). In ancient times people were pious and therefore had great memory to retain any subject matter just by hearing.

But as Kali yuga progressed, people lost the power of memory and therefore, Vyasadeva compiled the Vedas dividing into four. He gave philosophical truths in Upanisads and Vedanta (end of knowledge). And he explained these in the Puranas which are called as Smriti ( from memory) and wrote the great Mahabharata so that everybody can understand all these subject matters in the story form.

But, even after compiling all these, still he was despondent and was meditating on the bank of river Sarasvati in the Badarikasrama of Himalayan region. Then Narada Muni, the spiritual master of great personalities like Prahlada, Dhruva, Valmiki appeared on the scene and after a conversation with Vedavyasa instructed him to compile Srimad Bhagavatam which would remove his despondency.

O expert and thoughtful men, relish Srimad Bhagavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Sri Sukadeva Gosvami. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls. Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.3

Some excerpts from the purport by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)

The Vedas are compared to the desire tree because they contain all things knowable by man. They deal with mundane necessities as well as spiritual realization. The Vedas contain regulated principles of knowledge covering social, political, religious, economic, military, medicinal, chemical, physical and metaphysical subject matter and all that may be necessary to keep the body and soul together. Above and beyond all this are specific directions for spiritual realization. Regulated knowledge involves a gradual raising of the living entity to the spiritual platform, and the highest spiritual realization is knowledge that the Personality of Godhead is the reservoir of all spiritual tastes, or rasas. . . .

In this Soka, it is definitely stated that spiritual rasa, which is relished even in the liberated stage, can be experienced in the literature of the Srimad-Bhagavatam due to its being the ripened fruit of all Vedic knowledge. By submissively hearing this transcendental literature, one can attain the full pleasure of his heart's desire. But one must be very careful to hear the message from the right source. Srimad-Bhagavatam is exactly received from the right source. It was brought by Narada Muni from the spiritual world and given to his disciple Sri Vyasadeva. The latter in turn delivered the message to his son Srila Sukadeva Gosvami, and Srila Sukadeva Gosvami delivered the message to Maharaja Pariksit just seven days before the King's death.

In Sanskrit the parrot is also known as suka. When a ripened fruit is cut by the red beaks of such birds, its sweet flavor is enhanced. The Vedic fruit which is mature and ripe in knowledge is spoken through the lips of Srila Sukadeva Gosvami, who is compared to the parrot not for his ability to recite the Bhagavatam exactly as he heard it from his learned father, but for his ability to present the work in a manner that would appeal to all classes of men.
The subject matter is so presented through the lips of Srila Sukadeva Gosvami that any sincere listener that hears submissively can at once relish transcendental tastes which are distinct from the perverted tastes of the material world. The ripened fruit is not dropped all of a sudden from the highest planet of Krishnaloka. Rather, it has come down carefully through the chain of disciplic succession without change or disturbance.
