Vyasa
Hinduc. 3000 BCE (traditional/mythological) – unknown (considered immortal in tradition)Kalpi (Yamuna island), Uttar Pradesh, India (traditional)7,995 quotes
Vyasa, also known as Veda Vyasa ('compiler of the Vedas'), is the revered sage credited with codifying the four Vedas, composing the Mahabharata, and dictating the Bhagavata Purana. He is one of the seven immortals (Chiranjivi) of Hindu tradition and is regarded as the literary and spiritual ancestor of much of classical Indian thought.
Krishna Dvaipayana, known as Vyasa or Veda Vyasa, is one of the most venerated sages in Hindu tradition, believed to have been born on an island in the Yamuna river as the son of the sage Parashara and the fisherwoman Satyavati. He is traditionally credited with organising the original single Veda into four distinct collections — Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda — thereby making the sacred knowledge accessible to different priestly lineages. His composition of the Mahabharata, the world's longest epic at roughly 100,000 couplets, encompasses the Bhagavad Gita as its philosophical crown jewel. Vyasa is also the attributed author of the 18 Puranas, including the Bhagavata Purana, the primary scripture of Vaishnava devotion. In Hindu tradition the annual festival of Guru Purnima is observed in his honour as the original guru of humanity.
