Nothing to write
Vedas are not to be taught for free(especially not free to exchange with material wealth), even if I know about Vedas.
But till date I see nothing but funny interpretations of it other than those written in Sanskrit (because I dont know sanskrit, else I would have said same for them too because it cant be interpreated), mostly the english translations. Both by Indians, Nepalese and rest of the world.
Vedas are great, insanly great, if you want to know, know yourself, I am not anyone with responsibility(and knowledge too) to teach it. It is what it is, there is nothing other than Vedas, only to that extent I will say rest I dont care.
I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...
