The Vedas (Yajus-Sama)

(SAN7104) -Vedic texts constitute the foundation of the worldview and way of life that informs Hindu life and culture. Like the other Vedas, Yajurveda and Sāmaveda are also structured into sections called Saṁhitā (verses in praise of Vedic devatās or deities), Brāhmaṇa (ritual practice or liturgy), Āraṇyaka (the link between ritual and spiritual expositions) and Upaniṣad (spiritual and philosophical expositions or exegesis). The Yajurveda consists of mantras or yajus that detail the ritual procedure associated with various yajña-s i.e. offerings and oblations towards deities performed using a sacred fire and discuss the classification, purpose, and consequences of such ritual action. The Sāmaveda consists of mantras called sāman-s, that are musical in nature, used to praise the deities extolled in the Vedas.

Prerequisites:

1) The medium of Instruction is Sanskrit

2)Only currently enrolled Sanskrit master’s certificate students can register for these courses. 

3) Admission into Master Program in Sanskrit.

4) Completed previous MA Sanskrit Course
