There are many conflicting views among the commentators and translators about the meaning of the hymns of the Rgveda. The readers and researchers very often get confused to know what is the actual purport of the mantras. It is therfore,a desideratum thate all the interpretations put forward by the commentaqtors and modern exponents be comparatively studied and if possibel reconciled. Sayana himself interprets some words differently in different contexts. As the first step of the comparative study. It is proposed to examine critically his Rgveda bhasya in comparison with okther interpretations in order to arrive at certain conclusions. India is a vast country okf multilinear traditions where dissents form one ideology to another have been a process of change and continuity. Everry tradition has been sustained in its own way. Many schools of interpretation were in vogue during Yaska's tine and they have maintained their continuity with certain changes in later periods too. Therefor whatever has been possible within the limited time and means, every thing and been taken in to account in this humble attempt. Internal and external evidences,Grammar, Niruktaq,Philology,Lexicons. Etc. have come to much help here. It is believed that this humble but sincere effort,by a very eminent Vedic scholar,will open some new avenues in the field of the Rgvedic studies and hopefully will add something new in the method of historical interpretations.

Pages: 342 (73 B/W Illustrations) About the Book  India is a land of several goddess cults. The present book attempts to study  the cult of Devi Bagalamukhi from a socio- cultural stand point. Devi Bagalamukhi  is one of the Dasamahiividyiis or incarnation of Goddess, Parvati. She is a  stambhana goddess, destroyer of adversaries- internal as well as external and  one who aids Parasiva (the Absolute) in his cosmic function. Besides these aspects,  She is also the bestower of fulfillment of all desires-worldly as well as 'bliss'.  Her Pithas are located at Datia (M.P.), Varanasi (Sindhiya Ghat), Siddhaparvata  (Raichur) and Gauri Pitha (Navilgund, Karnataka) and few other places. There  are also individual practitioners of the Goddess all over India.  The book consists of five chapters. The first and second deal with a brief  introduction and the Goddess in literature, art and thought. Third to fifth  chapters are exclusively meant for a detailed study of social dimensions, including  efforts made by preceptors of the Pithas. For instance, Sri Annadanesvara the  most recent preceptor of Bagala cult, Sri Cidananda Avadh utaru Rajayogi, Sant  Siromani Mahan Santa Ananta Sri Pujyapada Sri Svamiji and Sri Ajata Nagalinga  Mahasvamigalu. They have reformed many persons by their counseling impact and  spiritual healing.  Hoped that this book would be found useful in inspiring people of this land  to have faith in the desirability of their temples and institutions for the  perpetuation of their religion and culture.
