Our Heritage Revisited by Anju Saha Book Review:

I have been very interested in the ancient Indian texts that hold abundance of knowledge that is still prevalent today as well as being a continuing enigma to the present world. With prominent gifts to the world like the Ayurveda, Yoga and the study of stars (Astrology), Hindu scriptures are full of secrets and wonders. But the main issue in educating ourselves of these texts is the lack of translations of the scriptures which were originally written in Vedic Sanskrit which is not known by majority of us today.

So, it’s here that Anju’s book, Our Heritage Revisited: A Glimpse Into Ancient Indian Texts, comes handy. When the author told me about her book, I was instantly intrigued.

Things I Liked:

Cover and Blurb:

The cover is colourful, vivid and catchy. So, managing to attract my attention, I was further lured by the promise of going into depth of the ancient knowledge that still holds the base of modern science and even our day-to-day life.

Then the blurb is a bit long but still engaging. The title is interesting and will definitely have readers stop to checkout the book.

Plot and Storytelling:

Anju Saha has collated her knowledge of Hindu scriptures like the Vedas that she learned along the way. This book is written in a systematic manner with separate dedicated chapters and pictorial representation of the various Vedas and its branches.

Then the book is written in simple language and will act as a great guide for people wanting to learn about ancient Indian scriptures. 

So, this book is a great introduction to the ancient scriptures. But in a bigger picture, the knowledge in the book can not be taken as everything about the texts shared here. The author, however, mentions this in her title itself which says, ” A Glimpse Into Ancient Indian Texts”. 

The author also mentions that she has taken reference from Wikipedia which is an open source. Wikipedia is also easily editable so it is possible that the knowledge could have been updated since the author took up her pointers from there. So the book should be taken into account with scope for a few updates. 

Things that can be better:

There are a few grammatical errors in the book but nothing so serious that they hamper the interest in the book.

Then after a while I felt things getting repeated. I know everything is connected and some repetition is necessary but still, I felt some of it could have been curtailed. 

Conclusion:

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. So, I congratulate Anju on taking this chance to bring to us a simplified version of some of the learning hidden in texts. These texts are so vast and so old that we often don’t get a chance to fully acquaint ourselves to them because they are still not translated completely to our understanding.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed getting introduced to my heritage through this book that had me entertained right till the end. 

So, I give it 4 stars out of 5 and look forward to reading more about our heritage from Anju who I hope will delve more deeply and bring to us more books that give us more insight into the ancient scriptures.

Recommended to everyone, this book is a must have for everyone who want to know more about ancient Indian scriptures. So, go grab this book for yourself and your family!
