Vedic Literatures
Based on the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Founder Acharya International Society for Krishna Consciousness
We inhabit a HUGE UNIVERSE
We are here This huge temple complex is represented as a dot on Bangalore map. Bangalore Population: over 6 million. One of the fastest growing cities
However, Bangalore itself is a dot in map of Karnataka
and Karnataka is one of the many states in India
India with population of One Billion is...
... one of the many countries on the planet Earth.
Earth weighing 6x1021 Kg., is one of the many planets in our solar system.
Sun, around which all the planets are orbiting is 14,00,000 times bigger than Earth.
Astrophysicists point out There are 2000 billion stars like sun each having its own family of planets
According to science... ...all these billions of galaxies and trillions of stars comprise our UNIVERSE
How do we understand GOD who is ... Creator & maintainer of many such universes. Beyond this gigantic manifestation.
All methods of acquiring knowledge can be broadly classified into two categories
Inductive (Ascending) Trying to find the truth by ones own endeavor or speculation
Deductive (Descending) To learn the truth by accepting an authority & inquiring from him
How can an ant living in one corner of this classroom know about...
What are the latest developments in Iraq?
The wars in the other side of the globe?
Who is President of United States of America ?
Arafat & ethnic conflicts in Palestine and Lebanon
Logically speaking ant can never know through its own efforts through ASCENDING PROCESS of acquiring knowledge
Ground Reality... Its tooooo... small & has limited sense perception
Then how can we go about understanding GOD who is creator of infinite gigantic UNIVERSES?
We have no choice... ...but to accept the descending method of acquiring knowledge
Accept an authority & learn the truth by inquiring submissively.
Lord Krishna in Bhagavad-Gita mentions the process of acquiring knowledge.
tad viddhi pra谷ip辰tena paripra巽nena sevay辰
Just try to learn the truth by approaching a Spiritual Master and inquire submissively
Who is that authority?
THE VEDIC LITERATURES
But arent the Vedas written by man !!!
NO The Vedas are apaurusah they are not man-made
tene bramha hriday adi kavaye
The Vedic knowledge was revealed by the Supreme Person, in the heart of the first created being, Brahma.
This Vedic wisdom came down in disciplic succession through aural reception
The Vedas are also called as SHRUTIS or knowledge received through aural reception.
Srimad Bhagavatam predicts about people in Kali-yuga mand辰湛 lazy; sumanda-mataya湛 misguided; manda-bh辰gy辰湛 unlucky; hi upadrut辰湛 and above all disturbed
Today, we depend on modern gadgets to even remember details of our near & dear ones
Therefore...
Vy辰sadeva, a literary incarnation of God, recorded all the Vedas in writing 5,000 years back for the benefit of people in Kali Yuga
What the world renowned personalities say about the Vedic literatures ?
When I read the Bhagavad-Gita, the only question left is how God created the universe. Everything else seems to be superfluous. Albert Einstein Physicist
The balance of mind which few highly- civilized individuals, such as Arjuna, the hero of Bhagavad- gita, can maintain in T. S. Eliot action, is difficult for American-English Poet most of us even as observers.
The deeper you dive into it, richer the meaning you get...with every age, the important words will carry new and expanding Mahatma meanings. But its Gandhi Indias Father of central teachings will Nation not vary.
Let the Gita be to you a mine of diamonds as it has been to me. Let it be your constant guide and friend on lifes Mahatma way. Let it light your Gandhi path and dignify your Indias Father of Nation labour.
It gives utterance to the aspirations of the pilgrims of all sects who seek to tread the inner way to the city of God. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan former President of India
In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial. Henry David Thoreau
The Vedas offer insight into Who am I ? Where have I come from ? Where do I go after death ?
What is the purpose of my existence ? Who is God ? How am I related to God ?
Since, these questions deal with very fundamental aspects of our existence, we can immensely benefit by daily studying these vedic literatures & sharpening our Spiritual Intelligence SQ.
