The Sankhayana Aranyaka, With An Appendix On The Mahavrata (1908)

The Sankhayana Aranyaka is a religious text from ancient India, which is part of the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of Hinduism. This book, published in 1908, is a translation of the Sankhayana Aranyaka by Arthur Berriedale Keith, a British scholar of Sanskrit and Indian philosophy. The Sankhayana Aranyaka is a collection of hymns, prayers, and rituals that were used by Hindu priests during forest retreats and other spiritual practices. It includes instructions on how to perform various sacrifices, as well as philosophical discussions on the nature of the universe and the soul. The book also includes an appendix on the Mahavrata, which is a major Hindu ritual that involves fasting and other ascetic practices. Keith provides a detailed analysis of the Mahavrata, its historical context, and its significance in Hinduism. This edition of the Sankhayana Aranyaka is considered a classic work of scholarship on Hinduism and is still widely used by students and scholars of Indian philosophy today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
