About The Book: In "The Orion or Researches into the Antiquity of the Vedas," the author, despite their non-specialist background, embarks on an exploration of the ancient Vedic civilization and its calendrical system, driven by their encounter with the Bhagavad Gita. This work presents compelling evidence and arguments supporting the notion that the Vedic civilization's roots may extend back to 4000 B.C., specifically during the era when the vernal equinox aligned with the Orion constellation. The author meticulously examines Vedic texts, legends, and Sanskrit works, unveiling the profound implications of this celestial alignment and its connections to Egyptian, Iranian, and Greek traditions. The primary aim of the book is to offer a comprehensive compilation of evidence, encouraging further scrutiny and evaluation. Ultimately, it challenges the prevailing notion of the Vedic civilization's antiquity, positing an origin much older than previously conceived. About The Author: Lokamanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856-1920), known as Lokmanya, was an Indian nationalist, teacher, and freedom fighter, part of the Lal Bal Pal triumvirate. He was a vocal advocate of Swaraj (self-rule) and a radical in Indian politics. Born in 1856, Tilak was an early member of the Indian National Congress, but his more radical approach led to the split between Moderates and Extremists. He was imprisoned several times and faced sedition charges. Tilak was instrumental in popularizing public celebrations like the Ganapati festival and Shiv Jayanti. He left a lasting legacy, including educational institutions, newspapers, and his famous slogan, "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it!"
