...h is omnipotent. Humanness Contains All Powers Embodiments of Love! In fact, all modes of powers are immanent in manavatvam (humanness) itself. It needs no special agent to vest it with any extra powers. The divine power fully manifests itself in a human being. Human power cannot function without the help of divine power. There are four mahavakyas in the Vedas, namely, Tattvamasi (That thou art), Prajñanam Brahma (constant integrated awareness is Brahman), Ayam Atma Brahma (This atma itself is Brahman) and Aham Brahmasmi (I am Brahman verily). The essence of these mahavakyas is further explain...

...d Gopi does not just refer to the gopikas of Brindavan. Gopa means the Earth, the Vedas, the Word, and cows. The root-word for all these four words is Go. Gopis are those who worship and take care of these four sacred entities. They worship the Earth, they foster the Vedas, they are true to their word, and they also protect the cows. In essence, the gopikas of Brindavan did all these. God does not have any names per se, but various names are given to Him. Dhruva said to Narada, “I am one among the gopis. I am a part of the Earth, a part of the Vedas, etc. In short, I am one among the many crea...

...m). How can man comprehend this incomparable wisdom? The Vedas contain many such words suffused with sacred inner meaning. Only divinity, which is attributeless, ancient, eternal, ever new, pure and unsullied, can explain the inner meanings of the Vedic principles. Dvandvaateetam refers to that which transcends all dualities such as happiness and sorrow, good and bad, merit and sin, etc. Triguna-rahitam refers to that which transcends the three attributes—Satva, Rajas and Tamas. Attributes are associated with the form. So, the Formless One has no attributes. The Vedas contain four Mahavakyas —...

...es. Oh people! Develop such devotion and love. (Telugu Poem) It is only through love for God that you can get rid of worries in life. Love is the remedy for all problems of man. Where there is love, there can be no hatred, no jealousy, and no differences. Love has all the power to develop equality and harmony. But the Vedas speak of this principle of love only to a small extent. Many Vedic scholars use the knowledge of the Vedas to fulfill their desires and not to gain the experience of Divinity. They chant the Vedas from dawn to dusk and propagate the teachings of the Vedas but do not practic...

...Ramanama. “Here is the sweet of Rama’s name. Eat it and enjoy the bliss. Do not go after any other silly things sold in the bazar. This sweet has been made out of the flour of the Vedas, mixed with the milk of the mahavakyas, and is offered to you by the ancient sages. They made it with the sugar of inward contemplation and the ghee of pure thoughts and removed the taint of falsehood from it.” The chanting of Rama’s name costs you nothing. Why do you go after bad things, paying a heavy price for them? The blissful name of Rama, which contains the essence of the Vedas, is the goal of all spirit...

... in our own actions. Whatever words we utter, they spread to the entire atmosphere. We can purify the atmosphere of the world by chanting the Vedas and singing the glory of God. Cherish The Vedas For Sublimating Your Lives The Rishis in ancient times used to move to forests and chant the powerful Vedic Mantras to purify the atmosphere of the whole world. These Vedas are neglected today. The people of this great country of Bharat have not understood the infinite potency of the Vedas. It is a pity they have not tasted the sweetness of the Vedas. The Vedas should be cherished for sublimating life...

...thrughna. The combination of all these three is the Omkara and that is Rama Himself. So, we have to recognize the inner meaning that Rama, Who is no other than Omkara and in order to establish Dharma or righteousness on the surface of the Earth, has taken birth on this Earth. When we try and understand the teaching of our Upanishads, then we will learn that OM is Ekaksharam Brahma or OM is the one thing, which is the same as Brahman. Ekam Eva Advitiyam Brahma – Brahman is One and only One and there is no second to that One. When we think of our great Seers and these great Mahavakyas or great s...

...ight therein. How is this to be achieved? The Vedas explain how. Falsity Of Dualistic Experience The Vedas tell you those things that cannot be known by anything else. The word Veda means ‘knowledge’, the knowledge that cannot be acquired by the senses or the intellect or even by unguided intuition. Advaita is something that no one in the dual world can understand. It is 'Aprapya manasa sah' “beyond the reach of even the mind.“ In fact, intellect and mind must each be transcended, before one can grasp the magnificence of that Unity. If Dvaita (duality) has to be taught, why should the Vedas ta...

...inferential evidence. There is a definition of Veda which states ‘Vedayati iti Vedah’ which makes some people think that Veda is preaching to you something secret and special that we are not able to understand easily. When we ask the question “What is it that the Veda tells us?” we begin to learn that the Veda has certain supplementary branches of knowledge such as Gandharva-veda, Ayurveda and Natya-veda. These occur as additions to the Veda. In other words, we see that for the word Veda there are certain prefixes that are added. These prefixes explain what those Vedas deal with. What is it th...

...ng of the Vedas. As there are very few learned men who can explain the principles of the Vedas, people do not give importance to the teachings contained in them. They consider them a mere compendium of Mantras. This is not correct. The Vedas are the fundamental source of all powers and the repositories of all knowledge. It was the Bharatiyas who imparted this supreme knowledge to the people of other countries. Even the knowledge of modern-day weaponry emerged from the Atharvana Veda. But, unfortunately, the Bharatiyas themselves are not able to recognise the importance of the Vedas now. In anc...
