India history and geography
Source: archive.org: South Indian FestivitiesVyasa Puja is a ceremony observed on the full-moon day in the month of Ashada called in Tamil Adi, corresponding to the English month July-August, mainly for the general welfare of the world. It is a ceremony important more to the Sanyasins (ascetics) and others who have renounced the world than to the worldly-minded men. What renouncement of the world really means is that those who have renounced the world have no restricted sympathies, affections and responsibilities which worldly men have m the shape of family ties and responsibilities, etc.They have in fact unrestricted responsibilities to wit the welfare of humanity as a whole. Hence the Sanyasins and others, who have renounced the world and its pleasures, perform Vyasa Puja to draw down on humanity the blessings of the mighty sage Vyasa. the author of the famous Indian epic Mahahharata.
The mode of observance of this puja.—Rice is spread on a piece of new cloth and over the rice are placed lime fruits to draw the presence of Adi Sankara and his four disciples on. After the puja ceremony is over, the rice is distributed to people to be taken home and mixed with the stock kept there.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
