Rig Veda in UNESCO Heritage List

Memory of the World Register’ was setup 15 years ago by UNESCO to list documentary heritage of outstanding value. The international advisory committee of UNESCO for this register added 38 new entries, after a meeting on Wednesday in Pretoria, South Africa. Rig Veda copies are amongst them.

The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI), Pune, has 30 Manuscripts of the Rig Veda, in the archives. These have been added to a UNESCO listing of the most important documents from around the world.

Bhandarkar's M G Dadhphale said “These were the very manuscripts referred to by German scholar Max Mueller, who first translated the Vedas into English. These manuscripts link our oldest text with the modern world.”
