Hare Krsna !
It is said that all the Vedic knowledge is apaurusheya i.e. not given by mortal human beings. What period is considered as Vedic Period?
What is really Vedic Version? Can it be extended upto 20th century?
Yours in Krishna Consciousness

Dear Bhakta Janardan,
Hare Krishna!
Yes, it is true that all genuine Vedic knowledge is coming from Krishna. If someone hears carefully and attentively, absorbs fully, follows, and then repeats without addition or subtraction, then that knowledge is still as pure as it was when it came from Krishna, without any contamination. So why 20th century, even 21st century, 22nd century, and 52nd century can be considered Vedic period IF we are hearing the knowledge through bona fide authorized disciplic succession.
In this connection, we are all fortunate that Srila Prabhupada A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada heard and brought us this knowledge, and that his determined and sincere servitors such as Srila Gurudeva Srila Sankarshan Das Adhikari are daily repeating this “apaurusheya” knowledge to us. Now it is our duty to hear carefully, follow, and spread without contamination.
Sincerely,
Mahabhagavat Das
