New Discoveries About Vedic Sarasvati Ravi Prakash Arya

We are pleased to bring out the fourth edition of 'New Discoveries About Vedic Sarasvati'. This edition has many new features. It has been supplied with maps depicting various flows of Sarasvati in various phases right from the Vedic period down to the Mahabharata period as described in the vast Vedic and post Vedic literature. This edition will help readers and researchers to understand the various misconceptions about Vedic Sarasvati. This work would also help the archaeologists, historians and other scholars interested in the study of Vedic Sarasvati to formulate their views and theories on the origin and evolution of Vedic Sarasvati as per the description of Sarasvati available in the Vedic and post Vedic Sanskrit literature. Since Sarasvati is purely a Vedic concept and as such no one has the moral right to make surmises and postulate imaginary theories without their assumptions being supported by the relevant Vedic and Puranic records. It is also fervently hoped that the publication of this edition would help the readers and scholars to develop a view of Vedic Sarasvati in right and proper perspective.
