Writings of late (Acharya) Narendra Bhooshan- English translation (1)

“The greatest boon of human life is the realization that origin of knowledge is also from God (Eshwar/Allah). Those who think that sun, moon, earth, human body and everything is creation of God (Eshwar/Allah); does not think that knowledge about them should also be Divine. One of the reasons for it is that the wrong knowledge (Avidya) that creation is illusion (Mithya). Do we have to get convinced of the truth from illusion? Of course not, the only way we can know truth, can know only through True Knowledge, which is Veda, which is to be heard (Shruti), which came (Agama) and which is Amnyaya. It is said that that is the reason makes the one who denies Vedas (knowledge) becomes atheist! So, the thought that Vedas are created by human (Paurusheya) itself is the denial of God (Eshwar/Allah). That itself is the reason why Vedas, in its original form (Moola Swaroopa), becomes The Ultimate Reference (Paramma Pramaana). Human interference is impossible... in original form. When Godly/divine creations like air, water, earth, etc. are said not get polluted in their original form; it doesn’t imply that air, water, etc. which are available to us now are pure or fully impure.”
- Late (Acharya) Narendra Bhooshan

This is an independent translation of wring of late (Acharya) Narendra Bhooshan (greatest Vedic scholar known to me) in Arshanadam the only Vedic-Philosophical magazine in Malayalam, started by him in 1970. As it is very difficult to translate certain Vedic words to English, I am unable to convey the full, detailed and complete meaning for which I ask forgiveness to all. For any mistakes, errors, misinterpretations, etc. are fully mine. Any virtue or goodness in this article, I owe it fully to Acharyaji, who has shown me the right path of my spiritual journey two and half decades before, through Arshanadam and his books. I consider him as my spiritual Guru, though I personally met him only once in 2009. I am trying to pay tribute to this great yet very simple down to earth person, by doing something so that true message of Vedas is conveyed to the world.
