तेजस्वि नावधीमस्तुLet Our Learning Illuminate Us

In this volume, which is part of Pandit Motilal Shastri’s commentaries on Bhagvad Gita, the concept of upasana or worship has been explained. He has defined four main forms of worship and eight characteristics of worship. He has also presented the scientific character of `dasha vidya` in this volume besides strong evidence in support of idol worship. Shastriji has laid emphasis on love or devotion as the essential ingredient of worship. He has explained five stages of love—respect, maternal love, romance, desire and lust.

This is the collection of five lectures given by Pandit Motilal Shastri at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi, in 1956.  Shastriji was invited by the first President of independent India, Dr Rajendra Prasad, to present his profound views on the Vedas and other sacred texts.

Pandit Madhusudan Ojha has extensively documented various terms appearing in the Vedic texts in Atrikhyati, Devasura-khyati and Madhav-khyati. These terms include brahma, dharma, yajna, itihas and vedanga. He categorised these books into four—yajna, vijnana, itihas and prakirna. (miscellaneous). Devasurkhyati forms part of his work on itihasa (history). In this work, he has explained the origin of Veda, dharma, praja, trailokya (triple worlds) and loka.
