  4. Question is: What is Vedic Culture? Why is it important ? How will this help to make the lives better?

  5. What is Vedic Culture? Vedic culture is based on Vedic scriptures (sastras) called Vedas. "Veda” comes from the word “Vid”. “Vid” is Sanskrit word for “To Know". “Veda” means “Knowledge” “Eternal Knowledge- No Beginning No Ending. Sanskrit was the language of Vedic civilization.

  6. Vedic SCRIPTURES (Sastras)

  7. Details of Vedas

  8. What is Vedas? To understand Vedas one should know about meaning of word “SRUTI” • “Sruti” in Sanskrit means 'that which is heard.' • Srutiscriptures include the primary scriptures of Hinduism known as the Vedas. • Thus the Vedas are the eternal truths that the Vedic seers, called Rishis, are said to have heard during their deep meditations. The Vedas are not considered the works of the human mind, but an expression of what has been realized through intuitive perception by Vedic rishis. As such, Vedas are considered of divine origin. The Vedic truths were orally inherited by the Rishis to their disciples over thousands of years. Finally , these were compiled by Sage Krishna DwepayanVyas, popularly known as VedVyas,  for the benefit of future generations.

  9. What is Vedas? Hindus believe that the Vedas were not written by anyone (including God), but are eternally existing (apaurusheya). While many historians regard the Vedas as some of the oldest surviving texts, they estimate them to have been written down between 1500 BCE and 500 BCE.

  10. Essence of Vedas The Vedas consist of several kinds of texts, all of which date back to ancient times. The core is formed by the Mantras which represent hymns, prayers, magic and ritual formulas, charms etc. The hymns and prayers are addressed to a pantheon of gods and a few goddesses important members of which are Rudra, Varuna, Indra, Agni, etc. The mantras are supplemented by texts regarding the sacrificial rituals in which these mantras are used as well as texts exploring the philosophical aspects of the ritual tradition, narratives etc.

  11. When was Vedas rediscovered? The Vedas were compiled around the time of Krishna (c. 3500 B.C.), and even at that time were hardly understood. Hence they are very ancient and only in recent times has their spiritual import, like that of the other mystery teachings of the ancient world, begun to be rediscovered or appreciated even in India. The Vedic truths were orally inherited by the rishis to their disciples over thousands of years. Finally , these were compiled by Sage Krishna Dwepayan Vyas, popularly known as Ved Vyas,  for the benefit of future generations.

  17. Upanishads-Another branchof Vedas • The Upanishads are a continuation of the Vedic philosophy, and were written between 800 and 400 B.C. They elaborate on how the soul (Atman) can be united with the ultimate truth (Brahman) through contemplation and mediation, as well as the doctrine of Karma-- the cumulative effects of a persons' actions. • The word Upanishad consists of three parts: • Upa (near), • Ni (down), and • Shad (sit). • 'sitting near a teacher and receiving the secret teachings.'

  18. Essence of Upanishad • The Upanishads more clearly set forth the prime Vedic doctrines like Self-realization, yoga and meditation, karma and reincarnation, which were hidden or kept veiled under the symbols of the older mystery religion. • The Upanishads became prevalent some centuries before the time of Krishna and Buddha • Upanishad means Brahma-knowledge by which ignorance is loosened or destroyed.

  19. ParamPujyaGurudev has translated 108Upanishads in simple language and compiled according to its nature in 3 parts as under: • Brahmavidhya • Gyan • Sadhana • He wrote additional Upanishad called “Pragyopanisad” well in advance before the reincarnation of god in the form of Pragyaavatarin 21st Century.

  20. An Important Branch of Vedas Puranas The Puranas are post-Vedic texts which typically contain a complete narrative of the history of the Universe from creation to destruction, genealogies of the kings, heroes and demigods, and descriptions of Hindu cosmology and geography. There are 18 canonical Puranas, divided into three categories, each named after a deity: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. There are also many other works termed Purana, known as 'Upapuranas.'

Among the portions of interest are a cycle of legends of the boyhood deeds of Krishna and Rama. H.H. Wilson was one of the first Europeans to translate a Hindu sacred text from the original Sanskrit. His style and annotations are exceptional and very readable. The Garuda Puranatranslated by Ernest Wood and S.V. Subrahmanyam [1911]A Vishnu Purana with Dantesque descriptions of the afterlife, and details of Hindu funeral rites.

  23. PURANAS • ParamPujyaGurudev translated above 18 puranas in simple language and also wrote additional purana called “PragyaPuran”from “Pragyopanishad”well in advance before the reincarnation of god in the form of Pragyaavatarin 21st Century. • Pragyapuran: • It describes today’s problems of world and the solutions to its in simple language with stories in the form of conversation of our Rishis (Sages). he wrote Pragyapuran in 18 parts (5 Parts Published). It covers from crisis of faith (AasthaSankat) in today’s world to change of New Era and return of Satayug and how Divine Rishi Culture will revive in 21st Century. It talks about 10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the form of Pragya Avatar in 21st Century which will be in the form of “Pragya” (Highest Wisdom or Vivek). Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya

  24. Darshans Hindu sages developed six different systems of philosophy, called Darshanas, at different periods of time. They are religious philosophical systems because their foundation is in the Vedas. All the six systems are written in aphorisms (sutras). The sutras, being very brief and terse, needed explanatory notes, which were written later by other scholars. For example, Shankaracharya, the famous scholar wrote explanatory commentaries on Vyasa’s work (known as Vedanta Darshan or Brahmasutra). These six systems of philosophy are:

  25. 6 Darshans • There are six Darshan Shastras called the six schools of philosophy. They are: • (1) Poorva Mimansa by Sage Jaimini, • (2) Nyay by Sage Gautam, • (3) Vaisheshik by Sage Kanad, • (4) Sankhya by Bhagwan Kapil, • (5) Yog by Sage Patanjali, and • (6) Uttar Mimansa (Brahm Sutra) by Bhagwan Ved Vyas. • All the six Darshan Shastras are in sutra form.

  26. 6 Darshans • Param Pujya Gurudev translated 6 Darshans in a very simple language so layman can understand Recently new version of • Mimansa Darshan • Vedanta Darshan • Nyaya and Vaisheshik Darshan • Sankhya Avam Yog Darshan have been published with commentaries in simple language . Vedmurti Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya

  27. The Epics The Mahabharata and Ramayana are the national epics of India. The Mahabharata, attributed to the sage Vyasa, was written down from 540 to 300 B.C. The Mahabharata tells the legends of the Bharatas, a Vedic Aryan group. The Ramayana, attributed to the poet Valmiki, was written down during the first century A.D., although it is based on oral traditions that go back six or seven centuries earlier. The Ramayana is a moving love story with moral and spiritual themes that has deep appeal in India to this day. In addition, a key Hindu sacred text, the Bhagavad Gita, is embedded in Book Six of the Mahabharata.
