Bridging Vedic Tradition
ॐ namŏ nārāyanāya !!!
Namaste to All.
TL;DR – This is just one more website based on Hinduism. (Honestly, there is nothing more that we can describe in short. ). But to know what difference we create from others, please read on.
So the basic question is this – When there are already too many websites based on Hinduism or contents related to Vedic Tradition are available, why there is a need for one more of the same kind?. To answer such a question, let’s think from an author’s point of view, who has just written one more new translation of a book like ‘Bhagavad Gita’ where he would convincingly state the most prominent features included in his version, and also points out what’s left in the so many other existing translations. This way, the reader may be drawn to buy his book. We too, more or less do the same thing; i.e., to show the most prominent features that differentiate this website from the rest.
Also, we don’t say that this is the only website that people should be looking for. In fact, for the matured intellects, in one aspect, this site might not appeal to them. Especially, if they are familiar with the subject matter, they might look for high standard content in high funda language. That’s because, they are used to more familiar technical jargons where the complex concepts are expressed in short, rather than the same subject is explained in a very elaborate manner. So, for them, this might not be the site they are looking for. Because,
We try to do exactly the opposite. We crack the hard nuts for you by removing the technicalities and present them in simple language with familiar terms. So that, it helps you to grasp the tough idea in one shot without any need to look for other sources.
Generally, to understand a specific Vedic concept, or when you try looking for information related to this subject on the web, you are mostly loaded with volumes of contents not knowing where to look for. Or at the best, you’ll get them as definitions or wiki-like pages, that are hard to understand as they are mostly with too many technicalities. Seeing this as a major difficulty for many who just wanted things clear and simple at the first go, we wanted to bridge this gap.
So reading until this point one may feel like, “Ok! here you get contents that are presented in bit more simpler terms. That’s it. There is nothing special about it”.
But, firstly, it is not that easy a task and also, the result by such effort are immensely rewarding for many. Because, only if things are seen closely, one will be able to find the real challenges faced. For example, when we look out for contents like Karma, Dharma, Punya, Paapa or Advaita etc., which are the core ideas of our tradition, :-
Mostly, we end up getting very high class text books that are not easily comprehensible, OR,
Those texts and the language and words they use, are archaic and not much relevant these days.
Even if it is contemporary, just for the fact that the text should maintain the general standard, i.e., the content they write should be concise and to the point. They don’t have free choice to use liberal explanation with many examples which would then make the text exhaustive, cost of printing etc. OR,
For the same reason to maintain the standard of the text with their peers, they are limited not to be too dramatic, or express loosely in a colloquial manner to give the effect of storytelling to kids which in a way help people to easily comprehend the ideas better. But with this approach, the contents may appear like broken language and may not appeal to those who are used to standard works. So, this approach is also not affordable to many authors as they don’t want people to underrate them because of the seemingly amateurish style of language.
So, looking into all these pointers we thought,
If our main intention is to bring the most profound knowledge on earth and present them in a simple way, then, it can only be done by explaining exhaustively with many day-to-day examples, pictures, videos, tools like apps, etc., and also using more words like ifs, buts, just, and suppose, to make it look more dramatic or a kind of expressing the body-language in words, that helps to relate the ideas better. Though it doesn’t fit best in terms of the style of language, it doesn’t matter; after all, the purpose of any language is to convey the message.
So, just as we faced this major hurdle as part of our learning process, i.e., to look for many sources to grasp even a simple idea. And we thought, trying to remove this BIG hurdle will truly help many in their learning and seeking path. For this, true effort, resources, and perseverance is needed. Those who faced similar situations in their learning curve, we hope, will agree to this point.
So, It is really a BIG challenge and definitely, there is a BIG gap that is not filled yet.
