SRI #VEDAVYASA - Divine Literary incarnation of #SriVishnu

Sri #Krishna says in Bhagawadgita - Vibhoothi Yoga that, "Of all sages, I am #Vyasa” ("Muneenamapyaham Vyasah")

#VYASA - what does it indicate?

Literally #Vyasa means one who explains, elaborates, describes, compiles, arranges. Generally we find the word Vyasa Kartha in the literary world meaning the one who has authored/scripted an article on a topic. In terms of Vedic/Divine literature Vyasa has become a legend. ++

#Vyasa does not indicate/signify the name of an individual. It is a role/status/title like that of Indra or Sapta Rishi that keeps befalling on divine sacred persons based on their merits. +

As per #Vishnu Purana, #Vyasa will be present in every 3rd age (Yuga) of the quartet ie. #Dwapara Yuga to take up the divine literary works, reorganize and edit the scripts (Vedas and Puranas) and to inculcate the spiritual knowledge. +

Thus 28 #Vyasas have passed through... in this #Manvanthara and the divine scripts have been reorganized 28 times. In the first #Dwapara Yuga it was Chaturmukha #Brahma himself and in the second age it was #Prajapathi #Manu who acted as Vyasa; so on & so forth......+

We are currently in the #28th Maha Yuga of this Manvanthara (#Vaivasvatha Manvanthara) in which Dwapara Yuga has already passed through. In this 28th Dwapara Yuga, Lord #Vishnu himself took birth as #Vyasa in order to fulfill the promise given to the sage #Parasara.

#Vyasa whom we all know and heard of in #Mahabharatha was the #28th Vyasa of this Manvanthara who was also a contemporary of Lord Sri #Krishna born to Sage #Parashara and #Sathyavathi;

Regarded as Aadi Guru, greatest of all Gurus, a Guru of Gurus He is adored even today by one & all; whose powers & knowledge are unsurpassed, responsible for the unassailable, grand Hindu Philosophy, civilization and culture ie. Bhaarateeya Samskriti.

Hindu heritage & culture would be indebted to this illustrious seer Sage Sri VedaVyasaru forever. Perhaps the most befitting way to pay our respects & obeisance to this great legendary divine Sage would be, by living according to his ideals & propagate his noble and divine works.
