Fundamental Teaching of Vedas

There is no book in the English language about the teaching of the Vedas, the oldest records of the Aryan nations. It is hoped, therefore, that this will supply a want long felt alike by missionaries, ministers, and all interested in the religious history of out fellow – subjects in India. Author had to gather it little by little; at first from the works of learned specialists, and afterwards form the study of the Vedas, by the aid of pundits. The results are embodied in this volume. Author must caution the general reader against concluding that the doctrines of the Vedas, as shown in this book, constitute what is known as Hinduism, or the religion of India today. Hinduism is a mixture of corrupt Vedic doctrines and pre- Aryan cults. Its authoritative guides are the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, the Puranas, the law books and the philosophical treatises.
