compasses all the domains of knowledge and all the issues of human life and culture. It is
not just a religious book but the document for an entire civilization. Interestingly

development of the older Vedic tradition. Even in
the order Upanishads and the Brahmanas kings and sages are mentioned from such diverse
regions as Gandhara (Afghanistan), Videha (eastern Bihar and Nepal) and Vidarbha
(Maharashtra). This is a considerably larger region

Koran which reflects and Arabs of Mecca and Medina. The Vedas also present a much great
diversity of personages, with many great sages and yogis, rather than a few prophets only. |
