The Brahmana texts of the Vedas, provide us crucial historical and religious information about the evolution of various Vedic rituals, their procedural details and philosophical thought of that time. The Brahmans give us the information of the transition period, the period between the early Vedic period and the later Brahmanical Aranyaka and Upanishadic period. The Brahmanas give interpretation to Samhita and application of the Vedic verses in performing the various sacrifices. The Satapatha Brahmana gives us detailed information of fire rituals, Soma rituals, Pashu-bandha and Ashvamedha sacrifices etc. The Brahmana literature forms the basis for emergence of deeper philosophical thought. The intention of the author is to throw some light on the much-ignored Brahmanical literature and the Vedic religion, and to introduce it to the current day readers, so that we can trace back the footprints of our culture at the times of Vedic Hinduism. Hope the readers will appreciate my attempt.
