Veda vyaasa

Veda Vyaasa the gist of all the four Vedas in Bhaagavatham.He taught this to his son,Suka maharshi.Suka maharshi told Bhagavatham to Pareekshiththu and other sages who were present there.Sootha was also there at that time and heard bhagavatham.So,Sootha told Sounaka and other rishis that he would tell BHagavatham to them to the best of his ability. Sathyavathi was born to uparichara vasuvu. Sathyavathi and Paraasara rishi gave birth to Vyaasa.He is also called as Krishna dvaipaayana and Baadaraayana,because Krishnas in him. Veda vyaasa has understood all the vedas.He has known and seen gods nature and activities.One day,he was doing penance on the banks of river,Saraswathi. Then,he could the entry of Kaliyuga.He could also foresee the difficulties of common people .During Kaliyuga,people would have low life sapn. They have limited intelligence.They do not have much strength.They tend to go the wrong way.To simplify Vedas to the facility of common man he divided them into four.He wrote many puranas and ithihaasaas.He told Rigveda to his disciple,Pailudu.He told Yajurveda to Vaisampaayana. He gave Saamaveda to Jaimini. He gave Adharvanavedam to Sumantha.He directed them to tell these vedas to their disciples,and they in turn to their disciples..it should pass on like that.He told Puaranas and Ithihaasaas to Romaharshudu,father ofSootha maharshi. Vyaasa wrote Mahaabharatham ,also called as panchama vedam for the sake of ordinary mortals,women and uneducated people.He introduced Bhagavad geetha also in it.He wrote Brahma soothraas also.Still,he was unhappy.There was no satisfaction even after writing so many epics and puranas.At that time,Narada came to him.Vyasa welcomed him and prayed him with all humility.
