Hindu texts...knowledge is enhanced only when it is shared.

Ancient Hindu Scriptures are an ocean of knowledge. They teach us how to live and how not to live a life. Let's dive together to find some pearls of knowledge from our ancient scriptures. We can enhance our knowledge just by sharing it. I am taking 'Garg Samhita' as my first text to read and share the summary according to my understanding and my views on this sacred text of Radha Krishna, the Divine bond of the divinity itself. Readers' views and an addition to my knowledge are most welcome.

Garg Samhita - The Divine Bond Of Radha- Krishna

Garg Samhita is an ancient Hindu scripture that beautifully narrates the divine bond between Shri Radha and Lord Krishna, highlighting key moments from their lives. It was authored by Maharishi Garg, a renowned sage, the son of Rishi Bhardwaj and Susheela. Maharishi Garg served as the chief priest in the court of King Vasudeva, the father of Lord Krishna. He is also credited with naming Vasudeva's seventh and eighth sons as Balarama and Krishna. In addition to his spiritual role, Maharishi Garg was a distinguished astrologer and authored several significant ancient texts.

While Garg Samhita is not as widely known as the Bhagwad Purana, it holds unique importance as the earliest scripture to depict the sacred relationship between Shri Radha and Krishna. It conveys a profound message of pure, divine love to the world.
