The Splendour of Krsna Yajurveda- A Monograph

Exploring The Core of Krishna Yajur Veda Taitiriya Samhita

The seers and sages of this holy land sacrificed their lives and passed on to us the Vedas and Sastras, which constitute the invaluable treasure of eternal knowledge, useful for both the mundane and spiritual worlds. The Vedas embody the eternal values of our great civilization, which kept our unique culture alive.

The four Vedas, which were known to have about 1131 branches carlier, have now only 7 branches studied. Among them, the Yajurveda, with a total of 101 branches in the past, is broadly distributed under two segments, viz., Krsna Yajurveda and Sukla Yajurveda. The statistical reports of this literature indicate that Krsna Yajurveda was having 86 branches and Sukla Yajurveda was having 15 banches. This was the status upto about twelve hundred years back. Like all other segments, the Krsna Yajurveda also witnessed several setbacks during the alien rule and is now said to have four branches only, under the titles of taittiriya, katha, kapisthala and maitrayaniya branches. However, for all practical purposes, it is reduced to taittiriya branch, which only is being taught in the Vedie schools.

In this background, all our great saints and scholars have been emphasising the need for preservation and propagation of the Vedic knowledge for the benefit of mankind at all times.

Accordingly an attempt is made to describe the details with as many view points as possible in a condensed form. The present work with the title of "The Splendour of Krsna Yajurveda- a monograph" is an outcome in that direction.
