Book excerpt: The word "Veda" literally means "knowledge" and applies to a certain number of sacred scriptures compiled in Sanskrit language (according to the information contained in the texts themselves) about 5000 years ago, at the beginning of the age of cultural and moral degradation in which we presently live.However, the material from which the present collection has been compiled is much more ancient, and constitutes the accumulated results of many generations of Rishis (realized sages) that engaged with full dedication in a life of reseach, meditation, introspection and revelation based on direct personal experience.The Vedic scriptures elaborate on all the branches of knowledge, both at theoretical and at practical levels, and include physics, medicine, surgery and pharmacology, agriculture, management of animals, sociology, politics, psychology, economy, mechanics, mineralogy, astronautics, astronomy, astrology, grammar, logic, mathematics, geometry, military science, music, dance and figurative arts, handicrafts, architecture, and so on.The science that is considered most important in the Vedic cultural system studies the very subject of the learning process: it examines the living being, that is the origin of awareness, intelligence and ability to interact with the universe. This science can be only roughly compared to the concept of "religion" that is current in western culture, because it includes teachings on theology, philosophy, metaphisics, ethics and spirituality that are in perfect accordance to the other sciences and integrate them, and allow the individual to directly attain a level of personal awareness and perfection that is not different from the Godhead itself.The Vedic scriptures are numerous and voluminous, and although they are organized in a logical and practical way, it is not easy to study them without expert guidance.The teachers of Vedic tradition recommend that one begins the study of the Vedas by reading the three basic systems, called prasthana traya, respectively:1. Bhagavad gita (included in the Mahabharata)2. Upanishads3. Vedanta sutrasThese three sources are particularly important because they "summarize" the essence of Vedic knowledge in daily practice, in philosophical thought and in logical understanding respectively.After a careful study and a good understanding of these texts, both in theory and in practice, the Vedic student can proceed to read the collections of highly symbolic hymns known as Samhitas, divided into the four categories called Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva Veda.After that, the student will be better equipped to understand their commentaries called Brahmanas and Aranyakas, that apply their symbolic meanings to the practice of connecting the human microcosm with the universal macrocosm, both for the external ritual activities and the inner meditation.The epic and historic texts known as Itihasas and Puranas support this process with a great wealth of examples from the lives and experiences of great personalities in history. The "secondary Vedas" called Upangas and Vedangas contain purely technical information in the form of manuals for practical consultation.

Book excerpt: This publication originates from the need to present in a simple, clear, objective and exhaustive way, the basic information about the original Vedic knowledge, that in the course of the centuries has often been confused by colonialist propaganda, through the writings of indologists belonging to the euro-centric Christian academic system (that were bent on refuting and demolishing the vedic scriptures rather than presenting them in a positive way) and through the cultural superimposition suffered by sincere students who only had access to very indirect material, already carefully chosen and filtered by professors or commentators that were afflicted by negative prejudice.The first "foreign" scholars to approach Vedic knowledge were probably the Greek philosophers, who even before the advent of Alexander the Great went to study in the famous universities of Nalanda and Takshila, that were nearest to the western boundaries of India. Indians, too, traveled often, and there is evidence of the presence of brahmanas and Buddhist monks in Greece, especially in Athens, even before Socrates. Eusebius and Aristoxenes speak about them, and there is also a fragment of Aristotle's preserved in the writings of Diogenes Laertius, specifically in his Biography of Pythagoras. The first volume of the series reports the testimony of western intellectuals from the ancient times up to the present day, and also analyzes the historical and social events that caused the distortion of vedic culture and the ideological superimposition that we can see in present India. Also, we discuss about the role of women in ancient India and the required qualifications to engage in the study of the scriptures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present compilation of Vedic scriptures is attributed to Veda Vyasa, who was born about 5000 years ago, son of Satyavati and Parasara Muni. The name Vyasa means "one who divides", because Vyasa compiled four separate collections, dividing the various texts that composed the original Veda and elaborating on its meanings according to different perspectives, to facilitate their understanding for the people of this age.This volume illustrates how this division was structured in the four main Vedas, comprising Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads.The Vedic scriptures are composed in Sanskrit, a language that is also called devanagari ("of the Devas' cities") because it is considered the universal language also used on other planets. The word Sanskrit derives from the Sanskrit word samskrita, that literally means "perfect, highly evolved".The four divisions of the Vedic texts are called Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva; in each of these, the parts called Samhitas contain hymns of deep symbolic meaning, that are subsequently explained at various levels in the commentaries called Brahmanas (for the ritualistic application), Aranyakas (for the metaphysical application) and Upanishads (for the application of philosophy in daily life).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides the four collections of hymns and mantras for meditation and worship, Vedic scriptures include a wealth of commentaries, of which some were written by the same compilers of the Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva.These elaborations are known as the fifth Veda, and are in forms of narrations and epic poems, containing many practical examples and dialogues between famous personalities, that illustrate the philosophical and theological concepts of the original Vedas.The most famous Itihasas ("historical poems") are the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The other collection consists of the Puranas, of which 18 are the most important.The Mahabharata is a monumental work attributed to Vyasa himself, who dictated the text to Ganesha. The protagonists of the story are the five Pandavas (Yudhisthira, Bhimasena, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva), who were relatives and close associates of Krishna. The Mahabharata starts with the history of their family's origins and lineage, setting the scene for the succession dispute between the Pandavas the sons of Pandu and their cousins the Kauravas, sons of Dhritarastra. The most important feature of this majestic epic poem is the Bhagavad gita, the core of the entire body of Vedic knowledge and wisdom, contained within the Mahabharata text.

Book excerpt: The ?igveda is the first book of humankind and the most sacred scripture of Hinduism. It also happens to be the most ill-understood book of our times. Despite the extensive study by academic and religious scholars, the purpose and meaning of the ?igveda and many ancient Hindu scriptures remain unclear. In this pathbreaking book, the discovery of the ?igveda as a book of ancient cosmology is described, and related to the seals of ancient Indus Valley Civilization, thereby challenging our perception of humanity."The Vedas have always been lauded as containing the secrets of cosmogenesis. Raja Roy in his remarkable book shows how this is true not only from the yogic vison but according to the latest insights of modern physics. The book takes the reader on a vast panoramic journey through the universe of matter, mind and human history as well."David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri), Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies"Roy presents a new framework for the understanding of the Vedic hymns from the point of view of physics and then he draws parallels with recent theories on the nature of the universe. We celebrate the new path he has hewn through the bush of old scholarship."Professor Subhash Kak, Oklahoma State University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep in lost history, did high civilizations and advanced knowledge thrive? The ancient Vedic literatures of India describe a worldwide civilization that flourished at a time when modern historians insist that humans like us existed simply as hunter-gatherers. This Vedic civilization, centered in India, employed technologies based on a scientific understanding of the physical elements and forces we know today, as well as more subtle conscious elements. Devamrita Swami, who has spent a lifetime in his own search for Vedic India, takes us on a journey of intellectual discovery through the history of the remarkable Vedic civilization and its knowledge, locked in the ancient literatures of India. His wit and wisdom combine to make our search for Vedic India not only illuminating but entertaining. He tells us not only the truths of Vedic India, but how they are again coming to be. Searching for Vedic India thus takes us not only into the past, but into the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vedic texts calledVedanga ("limbs of the knowledge") e Upaveda ("secondary knowledge") or also Upanga ("secondary limbs") are also considered shastra ("sacred scriptures") and are sometimes called sutras ("aphorisms"). Many of the most ancient texts have been lost, and we presently have only quoted from the original contained in more recent books - of course "recent" in this case still means centuries old.The texts belonging to this category are the Siksha (rules for the pronunciation of mantras), Vyakarana (grammar), Chanda (intonation and metric), Nirukta (etimology and meanings of the words), Jyotisha (astrology), Kalpa (practical details for the rituals), Ayur Veda (medicine), Dhanur Veda (military science), Gandharva Veda (music, dance and figurative arts), Artha shastra (sociology, politics and economy), Sulba shastra (mathematics and geometry), Kama shastra (quality of life and social relationships), Artha shastra (economy and trade), Nyaya (science of logic), Yoga (mastering one's body and mind), Sankhya (analythical philosophy), Vaisesika (cosmology and physics), Purva mimamsa (commentaries to the Kalpa sutras), Uttara mimamsa (also known as Vedanta sutras). The scriptures known as Tantras and Agama present a symbolic and ritualistic aspect of Vedic knowledge that is more ancient than the present compilation of the Vedic hymns, and particularly apply to the personal relationship of the devotee with the various forms of the Godhead.

In this context, the Veda has contemporary relevance.The author has presented the quintessence of the Vedic message in a few brief chapters, and the language is deliberately non-technical.

This book is a journey through the profound and multifaceted world of Vedic philosophy, offering a comprehensive exploration of the ancient teachings that have shaped the spiritual and ethical landscape of India for centuries. The Vedas, with their rich tapestry of hymns, rituals, and philosophical insights, represent a cornerstone of human thought and spirituality. They encompass a vast range of knowledge, from the cosmic principles governing the universe to the practical guidelines for living a righteous life. This book aims to unravel the essence of these ancient texts and reveal their enduring relevance in our contemporary world. We begin with a foundational introduction to the Vedas, providing readers with a broad overview of these sacred texts and their significance. Each Veda-Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda-is explored in detail, highlighting its unique contributions to Vedic thought. The Rigveda, often regarded as the dawn of Vedic knowledge, offers early hymns and philosophical reflections. The Samaveda, with its focus on musical and ritualistic harmony, reveals the deep connection between sound and the universe. The Yajurveda, dedicated to the science of rituals, illuminates the intricate ceremonies that structure Vedic worship. The Atharvaveda, blending the mystical with the practical, provides insights into everyday life and magical practices. The journey continues with an exploration of the Upanishads, the philosophical texts that seek to uncover the ultimate reality behind the cosmos and the self. These texts delve into profound questions about existence, consciousness, and the divine, guiding seekers on their quest for spiritual enlightenment. Central to Vedic philosophy are the concepts of Dharma, Karma, and Moksha. Dharma represents the ethical framework that guides righteous living, while Karma underscores the law of action and consequence that governs our experiences. Moksha, the ultimate goal of liberation, signifies the transcendence of material existence and the realization of spiritual freedom. Each of these concepts is examined in depth, providing a comprehensive understanding of their roles in the Vedic worldview. The book also addresses the practical application of Vedic philosophy in everyday life, demonstrating how ancient wisdom can be integrated into modern practices. Rituals and practices are explored as living traditions that bridge the ancient and the contemporary, while meditation and mantras are presented as tools for achieving inner peace and personal growth. In the final chapters, we reflect on the relevance of Vedic wisdom in today's society and its timeless nature. Despite the changes in our world, the teachings of the Vedas continue to offer valuable insights and guidance, resonating with those who seek a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe. "Exploring Vedic Thought: From Knowledge to Liberation" is intended to be both an introduction and a guide, offering readers a pathway to engage with the profound teachings of the Vedas. It is our hope that this book will inspire curiosity, foster a deeper appreciation of Vedic philosophy, and provide practical wisdom for navigating the complexities of modern life. As you embark on this exploration of Vedic thought, may you find illumination and inspiration in the ancient teachings that have guided seekers for centuries?
