This book is an English translation of an original Odia work by Professor Misra, a Senior Fellow of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research, named Vaidika Dharma-Cetana, Eka Darsanika Vicara. It came about as a result of Professor Misra reading the Vedas in their entirety. The Vedas are treated in this English translation in one of the few cases when they are treated only as a discourse of knowledge (as the word Veda ought to imply). Beginning with the first issue that the Vedic sages attempted to address?that of the unique nature and processes of knowledge?the translator wishes to bring this discussion to a broad audience of Vedic students and academics from throughout the world. The universal principles of the Vedic sages are tapped into in this work.
