[Advaita-l] Sacred, Handwritten Krishna-Yajurveda Notebooks of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji

[V Subrahmanian]

*Dear All,*


*Release of the Sacred, Handwritten Krishna-Yajurveda Notebooks of His
Holiness Jagadguru **Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the Shankaracharya
of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham*



Ancient adherents of the Shastras have declared that the Vedas themselves
manifested as the Ramayana through Maharishi Valmiki. The Ramayana states
that heaven is the reward for one who, with devotion to Rama, transcribes
its sacred verses. If such is the merit of writing down the Ramayana, then
the fruit of exhaustively transcribing the Veda, which it exemplifies, must
undoubtedly be magnificent.

It is truly astounding that His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha
Mahaswamiji, who had traditionally mastered the Krishna-Yajur-Veda at a
young age as a brahmacharin and thoroughly grasped its meaning, has
personally transcribed the entire Krishna-Yajur-Veda into 16 notebooks,
meticulously marking the svaras.

For a spiritual giant such as His Holiness, who transcends the pursuit of
both worldly and otherworldly gains, there is no personal goal to be
achieved. It is, therefore, inspiring and a reflection of His deep,
unwavering devotion to the sacred Mother, the Veda, that He undertook and
fulfilled this exceptional endeavour of transcribing, in His exquisite
handwriting, the entire Krishna-Yajur-Veda, which comprises 82 prashnas and
is categorized into Samhita, Brahmana, and Aranyaka.

Such an extraordinary act of devotion to the divine Mother Veda—emanating
from none other than His Holiness Himself—would not only stand as a telling
testament to the boundless sanctity of the Vedas but would also inspire
countless adherents of the Vedic tradition to revere and preserve the Vedas
by studying them with unwavering devotion, internalizing their timeless
wisdom, and leading lives enriched with deeper meaning and purpose.

Despite His natural disinterest in publicizing His sacred transcription of
the Veda, His Holiness, after repeated, fervent requests and out of
motherly concern for the votaries of the Vedas, finally accorded permission
to upload His handwritten books on the Internet.

Indeed, the Centre for Brahmavidya is privileged and extremely delighted to
upload the Veda notebooks of His Holiness on the sacred occasion of His
Holiness’s 75th Vardhanti, on 3rd April 2025 (Chaitra-shukla-shashti of the
cyclical year Vishvavasu) and is deeply beholden to the Jagadguru for this
special permission. The notebooks can be viewed and downloaded here:
