I been trying to find out more about the sruthi and smriti literature,however I could'nt get very much detail. All I know is that Sruthi literature consists of the vedas, samhitas, brahmanas, aranyakas and the upnishads. And the smrithi literature consists of the manu smrithi, gautama smrithi and the yajnavalkya smrithi. Can anyone give me more details on the subject? I am very interested for any type of info.

  //I had previously thought that Sanskrit was only a religious language.//
  
  Quite understandable, after all that language is dead! I a long list of secular sanskrit liter-ature. But they are just that, liter-ature; no one bothers about them.

  The language is not dead. It has 55,000 speakers and publishing in it still continues.

  Idiappam will you stop raging against the manusmriti that nobody follows today ? If you are angry that the whole world is moving towards this evil religion and you dravidians have been fooled for 5000 years , just think , can we blame ourselves if the world is composed of fools ?

  Get out of this thamizh forum you sanskritic pig. You can propagate sanskritit vEdic practices in 'your' singala society and leave 'our' india alone in peace you sinhalese pig.
  
  If you do that - the motai erumaimAdus of kaNdi and pollanaruvA would surely 'reward' you well! with castration and execution! ;-)
