Book Description

About the Book This book "Further Lights: The Veda and the Tantra" provides an in-depth exploration of the Rig Veda, focusing on the concept of the Godhead and the varied gods described in its hymns. The book offers insights into Anjah-Sava and delves into Tantra, reflecting on its importance. It also examines the practice of pratishtha (Installation) within the framework of Tantra. Through this comprehensive analysis, the book enhances understanding of both the Rig Veda and Tantra, illuminating their spiritual and philosophical aspects for readers.

About the Author T.V. Kapali Sastry (1886-1953) was a revered Sanskrit scholar, translator, and disciple of Sri Aurobindo. Born in Mylapore, Tamil Nadu, he received Sanskrit education from his father, a scholar. He later taught Sanskrit in Madras. Influenced by Ganapati Muni and Ramana Maharshi, Sastry deeply immersed himself in Vedic and Tantric studies. He became a disciple of Sri Aurobindo in 1929, focusing on Aurobindo's philosophy and Rig Veda interpretation. His works, spanning English, Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu, include "Lights on the Veda" and "Sidelights on the Tantra." Sastry passed away in Pondicherry in 1953.

Preface There have been two lines of higher thought occult and ultra-mundane that have governed the religious and spiritual mind of India ancient and mediaeval, and to a considerable extent the devout Hindu of modern times. The Veda and the Tantra, known as Agama, are the scriptural authority and support for the earnest faith in the revealed nature of these sacred texts. Among certain sections of the learned classes, the Tantra is supposed to contradict the Veda. A perusal of the Second Section of this book will remove the misconception. Even so, among a large section of the learned classes, the Veda in the main is only meant for rituals, karma, and real spiritual knowledge is to be found only in the Upanishads. This notion also will be uprooted on a close reading of the First Section. It is to be noted that occult truths are there in the Veda while its main object is spiritual. It is also true that the spiritual aim is admitted as the goal in the Tantra while deliberating on the occult side of the teachings.
