Book excerpt: KNOW THE SEERS OF INDIA provides a deep insight into the life and relevance of some of the most significant Rishis, who founded the Hindu community. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Hindus are Rishi Santan ( progeny of sages ). The seers, qua the sages, of ancient India are our ancestors, our forefathers. The lineage of each Hindu family goes back to one or the other Rishi. This fact stands substantiated by sub-castes and surnames, such as Bhardwaj, Kashyap, Prashar, Vashisht, and so on. And so are the Gotras named after different Rishis. The sub-castes, as also Gotras, named after renowned Rishis, accentuate and endorse the dictum that the Hindus all over the globe are the descendants of the sages. As a Rig Vedic term, Gotra simply means "cow pen," or "herd pf cows. " The specific meaning being "family lineage kin" ( as it were herd within an enclosure ). No socio-religious ritual, or rite, such as marriage, child-birth, mundan, Shraddha rites, is complete without invoking the Gotra of the family. Verily, sub-castes and Gotras identify us with the past, with the Rishis of India. This book condenses information for all who are in search of their past, their roots, their identity.

Download or read book Wisdom of the Ancient Seers written by David Frawley and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Rig Veda is not only one of the oldest sacred scriptures of the world, but also one of the most misunderstood. Past scholarship has dismissed the hymns of the Rig Veda as being expressions of a primitive animistic mentality that only rarely rose to true spiritual and philosophical heights. David Frawley's book demonstrates that this judgmental view is ill-founded. His fine renderings of select Vedic hymns bear witness to the fact that their composers were sages and seers--powerful poets who knew the art of symbolic and metaphoric communication. The Vedic hymns give us a unique glimpse not into a primitive mentality but a mentality and culture that revolved around the highest spiritual values and visions. This is an important and riveting book, ushering in a new and sounder tradition of Vedic interpretation and scholarship." Georg Feuerstein
