For no less than forty years, Pandit Ashu Ram
Arya, a Vedic scholar, has been busy completing
his self-ordained mission to translate all of the
four Vedas into Urdu.
He embarked upon his task when he was just 20
years old. Now he is in his 70th year.
Pandit Arya said in an interview that his life’s
mission would be completed next year when he
finished the translation of Sam Veda in Urdu and
publishes it. Then for the first time, the
translation of all the four Vedas in Urdu would
be available.
His translation of the Yajurveda in Urdu was
published this year and his translations of the Rig
Veda and the Atharva Veda are already being
printed in New Delhi and Chandigarh.
Before him, several scholars have attempted to
translate the Vedas into Urdu, but their efforts
have taken them no further than putting the
Hindi “Rig Veda Adi Bhashya Bhumika” (only the
gist of the Vedas) into Urdu.
