Navgraha Stuti

One of the most important historians, astronomers and philosophers of the Dwapara Yuga, Veda Vyasa was the compiler of the Vedas. In the 3rd millennium B.C., he organized the verses of the ancient Vedic sages into their present form and is the symbol of the student teacher lineage (guru-shishya parampara) of all those who study Vedic Sciences.
He is responsible for classifying the four Vedas and wrote the 18 Puranas. He composed the Navgraha Stuti.
