Item description from seller

Language: English. About The Book: In this book, the exploration of the Vedic era and its calendrical system, particularly the Gavam Ayana, sheds light on ancient Indian reckoning of time. By analyzing references in the Vedas and considering the reigns of historical figures like Manu and Parikshit, the author proposes a timeline spanning around 1,800 to 1,900 years for the composition of Vedic and Brahmanic texts. The Gavam Ayana era, characterized by cycles of intercalary days, emerges as a central focus, personified as the age of a divine child, Agniprajapati. The author's diligent efforts to revive and understand this neglected era signify a plea for a deeper examination of Hindu society's past, aiming to dispel misunderstandings and propel progress. About The Author: Rudrapatna Shamasastry (1868–1944), a revered Sanskrit scholar and librarian at the Oriental Research Institute Mysore, unearthed and published the Arthashastra, an ancient treatise on statecraft. Born in Rudrapatna, Karnataka, he excelled in classical Sanskrit and obtained acclaim for his extensive linguistic prowess. Apart from his pivotal discovery, he contributed significantly to Vedic studies and edited numerous Kannada texts. His work garnered international recognition and earned him prestigious accolades and awards, leaving an indelible mark on academia.
