VED MANDIR, YOL, May 9: The Almighty God Himself imparts divine knowledge through Vedas and teaches that the Supreme Being is equally worthy of worship by all men and women alike.
This was stated by Swami Ram Swarup, Yogacharya, while explaining the deeper meaning of Rigveda Mantra 7/67/8 during the 28th day of the ongoing 78-day Yajna Anushthan of all the four Vedas at Ved Mandir.
Swami Ji further stated that the present-day social restrictions created by humans deny certain men and women the right to worship God on the basis of caste but these are against the teachings of Vedas and displease the Almighty.
Explaining the Vedic process of worship mentioned in the Upanishads, he said that Shravan (listening), Manan (contemplation) and Nididhyasan (practical implementation in life) are the three essential stages of spiritual practice.
Referring to Samaveda Mantra 50, he quoted ‘Shrudhi Shrutkarna’ meaning, “O capable listener, listen to the teachings of God through Vedas.”
Swami Ji expressed concern that although many people hear spiritual knowledge, only a few truly adopt Vedic teachings in lives.
Quoting the famous Yaksha-Yudhishthir dialogue from Mahabharata, Swami Ji said, when Yaksha asked, which is the right path for human life, Yudhishthir replied that in ancient times all men and women followed a single path-the Vedic path and Vedic teachings were reflected in everyone’s conduct.
Swami Ji elaborated that Yudhishthir emphasized the limitations of arguments and differing human opinions in determining truth.
He explained that true authority lies in the wisdom of realized sages and the eternal Vedas.
Referring to the principles of Yoga, he said that Vedas and enlightened Rishis are considered as authentic sources of truth.
