[Advaita-l] [advaitin] apauruSheyatva of the Veda

[R Krishnamoorthy]

Dears
Apaurusheya aspect of Vedas is indisputable is my opinion.You can go through our Kanchi Periaval’s Deivathin Kural discourses.He has mentioned about the Vedas as apaurusheya though He had not elaborated about why they are so termed.But he does giveHis reasoning.As per my understanding the rishis were Manthra Drushtas and they just captured the manthras or Ricks ( these just occurred to them but they did not compose them to convey their thoughts)
In fact Vedas were breath of the Brahman.Chandas .That is why we touch our nose while uttering chandhas when we perform Sandhya Vandhanam ( Deivathin Kural is my reference)
My this post is just to avoid unnecessary controversies when matters were accepted by our Acharyas.

IMHO Sri Omkar Deshpande (A dvaitin but modern day thinker)  had argued this point very strongly and logically and to the extent the readers were forced to accept that exclusive attribution of veda’s apaurusheyatva is simply a traditional belief and outsiders have every right to argue this point in a logical otherway.  Sri Subbu prabhuji aware of these discussions I reckon.  I marked this mail to Sri Chiitta prabhuji ( I don’t have Sri Omkar prabhuji’s e-mail ID) for his information and if he is interested and have time I pray him to share his thoughts.
