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

Orion: Or Researches Into The Antiquity Of The Vedas (1893) is a scholarly work by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a prominent Indian nationalist and philosopher. The book is a detailed analysis of the astronomical references in the Vedas, the ancient Hindu scriptures, and argues that the Vedas are much older than previously believed. Tilak uses his knowledge of astronomy and his understanding of the Sanskrit language to interpret the Vedas and show that they contain references to astronomical phenomena that could only have occurred thousands of years ago. He also argues that the Vedas were not merely religious texts, but also contained scientific knowledge that was ahead of its time. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of Vedic studies and has been influential in shaping the understanding of the Vedas and their place in Indian history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
