Orion: Or Researches Into The Antiquity Of The Vedas (1893)

By Bal Gangadhar Tilak

Book Overview

Orion: Or Researches Into The Antiquity Of The Vedas is a book written by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, an Indian nationalist and scholar. The book was first published in 1893 and focuses on the Vedas, a collection of ancient Hindu scriptures. Tilak argues that the Vedas are much older than previously believed and that they contain astronomical references that can be used to determine their age. He uses the constellation Orion as a key to decoding these references and presents evidence to support his theory. The book also explores the history and culture of ancient India and the role of the Vedas in shaping it. Tilak's work was controversial at the time of its publication but has since become an important contribution to the study of Indian history and culture. This edition of the book includes an introduction by the editor and additional notes to help readers understand the context and significance of Tilak's research.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
