Bramhasri Subraveti Thippa Josyulu of Yadiki (author of Veda Bhoogolamu) |
Bramhasri
Subraveti Thippa Josyulu of Yadiki has published under the name Vedic geography
three volumes in Telugu till now. The first volume Virat-Swarupa-Vimarsana was
published in 1940, the second volume Bramhanda-Bhuvana Kosa-Vimarsanam was
published in 1952. The third part on Sahasrara was issued in 1962. Thus for
nearly a quarter of century the author has been pursuing this line of investigation.
In spite of old age and financial difficulties, the courage of conviction and
motive impelled the author to achieve so far a portion of his contemplated
scheme.

The title Vedic Geography is apt to give a
distorted notion of the contents of the volume. Under the heading Vedic he
includes Puranas, Tantras, Dharma Sastras. It is not a geography in the
ordinary sense. The whole cosmos – (Macro-Cosma and Micro-Cosma) is compromised
and naturally it required proficiency in exegetics, Astronomy, Ayurveda and all
sciences and arts. The author mostly uses the Yajurveda Taittareya Sakha.
