[Advaita-l] Apoureshyatva - Faith or Logic?

[Bhaskar YR]

According to their logic, the mantras are eternal and passed down through 
oral tradition.

praNAms
Hare Krishna

But as I mentioned veda-s as a whole not mere maNtra-s, it has brAhmaNa 
portion as well, which is the description of rituals and formalities to be 
followed in those rituals like rAjasUya, agnishtOma, sOma yAga etc.  And 
these details of vidhi-nishedha etc. are not maNtra-s perse. But having 
the details of the materials (pAtra sAdhana etc.)  for which there is a 
particular  time frame for designing (for example nail cutters) !!

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
