The Vedas, Upnishads and the Puranas

Bhartiya scriptures are the Divine powers eternally residing in the Divine abode of God. With the will of God they are introduced in the mayic world through Brahma who transfers this knowledge to the Rishis (Sages). Later on those Rishis reproduce them in the form of scriptures. The latest reproduction of those scriptures was through Bhagwan Ved Vyas (one of the 24 descensions of God) before kaliyug, 3102 BC, and their very first manifestation was trillions of years ago when our brahmand along with the planetary system was originally created by Brahma.

Scriptures are the Divine knowledges that eternally stay in God. They are produced with the Divine will for the mankind, to show them the path of God realization. They are of three categories: (1) Originally produced by Brahma in the very beginning of human civilization and conceived by the Sages who were in the brahmand at that time, (2) produced much later afterwards, and (3) produced by a number of descended Divine personalities in the last 5,000 years. They are:
The four Vedas: Rigved, Yajurved, Samved and Atharvaved; Brahman, Aranyak and the Upnishads; the four Upvedas; the Vedangas: Vyakaran (Sanskrit grammar), Jyotish, Nirukt, Shikcha, Cfihand and the four kalp sutras (Shraut Sutra, Grihya Sutra, Dharm Sutra and Shulb Sutra); Anukramanika; and the eighteen Puranas: Brahm Puran, Padm Puran, Vishnu Puran, Vayu Puran (or Shiv Puran), Bhagwat Maha Puran, Narad Puran, Markandeya Puran, Agni Puran, Bhavishya Puran, Brahm Vaivart Puran, Ling Puran, Varah Puran, Skand Puran, Vaman Puran, Kurm Puran, Matsya Puran, Garud Puran and Brahmand Puran.

The Divine works containing the philosophy and the teachings of: Jagadguru Nimbarkacharya, Jagadguru Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Ramanujacharya, Jagadguru Madhvacharya, Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Vallabhacharya, Jagadguru Kripalu Mahaprabhu, Roop Goswami, Sanatan Goswami, Jeev Goswami, Swami Haridas, Hit Harivansh, Goswami Tulsidas and Madhusudan Saraswati etc.
Bhartiya scriptures describe
(a) The omnipresence of all the forms of one single God; His Divine abodes, virtues, absoluteness, Blissfulness and omniscience; and His unlimited Graciousness that reveals His glory, greatness, kindness and Divine love to the souls, making them equally Blissful as Himself.
(b) The origin, evolution and the creation of this universe which is apparently the manifestation of an endless, eternal and lifeless energy called the maya that works with the help of God and involves unlimited number of infinitesimal souls which remain under its bondage.
(c) The quality, nature, behavior and the eternal existence of unlimited number of souls along with the cause, nature and the strength of their worldly attachments which keeps them under the bondage of maya.
(d) The procedure, practice, drawbacks and the helping factors which are related to the attainment of the Grace of God that reveals His Divine knowledge, Divine vision and Divine love, and which makes a maya-inflicted soul absolutely Blissful forever.
(e) And reveal the various sciences (Sanskrit grammar and language, astrology, sociology, defense and medicine etc.) for the good of the people of the world in general.
It is, thus, very obvious and anyone could understand this fact that the above mentioned knowledges are way beyond the limits of human intelligence; so they must have been produced by God Himself; and the fact is that they are produced by God Himself.
