Know the Seers of India: A collection of One Act plays on Sages and Devotees of ancient India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798710240434)

KNOW THE SEERS OF INDIA provides a deep insight into the life and relevance of some of the most significant Rishis, who founded the Hindu community. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Hindus are Rishi Santan ( progeny of sages ). The seers, qua the sages, of ancient India are our ancestors, our forefathers. The lineage of each Hindu family goes back to one or the other Rishi. This fact stands substantiated by sub-castes and surnames, such as Bhardwaj, Kashyap, Prashar, Vashisht, and so on. And so are the Gotras named after different Rishis. The sub-castes, as also Gotras, named after renowned Rishis, accentuate and endorse the dictum that the Hindus all over the globe are the descendants of the sages. As a Rig Vedic term, Gotra simply means "cow pen," or "herd pf cows. " The specific meaning being "family lineage kin" ( as it were herd within an enclosure ). No socio-religious ritual, or rite, such as marriage, child-birth, mundan, Shraddha rites, is complete without invoking the Gotra of the family. Verily, sub-castes and Gotras identify us with the past, with the Rishis of India. This book condenses information for all who are in search of their past, their roots, their identity.
