Transcript RIG VED - Gayatri Pariwar of Long Island

RIG VED
Rig Ved, derived from the root word 'rik'
meaning 'to praise‘. It includes 1,028 suktas
(hymns), comprising 10,528 Sanskrit verses,
and over 150,000 words. The Rig Vedic hymns
of prayer and worship are addressed to Vedic
deities, such as Indra (250 hymns), Agni (200
hymns), Soma (100 hymns), and numerous
hymns addressed to Surya. Most doctrines of
Hinduism have been, in one way or another,
derived from the Rig Veda.
One of the most profound and significant
doctrines of the Rig Veda is, 'Truth is one,
the wise call It by various names.' The Rig
Vedic hymns possess mystic potency and
richness. These hymns reflect a devotee's
relationship to the deities as a friend, as a child
to his parents, as a servant to his master, or as
a lover to his beloved.
SAM VED
The Sam Ved, a collection of
1,540 verses, was set to
music by the Vedic people
for chanting during rituals.
The use of music in the
recital of the hymns
eventually gave rise to Indian
Karnatic music, the original
classical music of India.
YAJUR VED
The Yajur Ved,
containing 3,988 verses,
is a compilation of
mantras and methods
for use by priests in
performing Vedic
rituals.
ATHARVA VED
The Atharva Ved, a unique
collection of 5,977 verses, was
used to satisfy the daily needs of
the people. This includes verses
deemed necessary for success
in agriculture, trade, progeny,
health, and general welfare. It
includes Ayurveda, Science etc.
Vedic Math’s 16 Sutras and 16
sub-sutras are from Atharva Ved
in Ganit Sutra section.

Vedas:
Sruti scriptures include the primary scriptures of Hinduism
known as the Vedas. The Vedas teach the highest truths ever
known to man, and form the supreme authority of Hinduism.
The word Veda is derived from the root word 'Vid,' meaning
'to know.'
Sruti in Sanskrit means 'that which is heard.' 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 Dwepayan Vyas, popularly
known as Ved Vyas, for the benefit of future generations.
The Vedas are the primary texts of the spiritual and religious
records of the ancient culture and teachings of India. Their
teachings are based upon recognition of the sacred nature of
all life and self-realization as the true goal of human life.
Hindus call the Vedas by several names, such as apaurusheya
(meaning 'not authored by purusha, or human being'), anadi
('without beginning in terms of time').
As a culture and way of life, the Vedas represent a tradition
that accepts all valid approaches to truth and embodies the
principles of universality and diversity. The Vedas prescribe
rituals and meditations far attaining harmony in life. The
rituals are intended to keep our daily actions in harmony
with the Divine Will, and meditations are prescribed for
realizing our real self. The ritualistic parts of the Vedas are
called the Karma Khanda and the meditation portion of the
Vedas is called the Gyan Khanda
Puranas

The Puranas form the largest body of Smriti
literature. They were developed, in a question
and answer form, to explain the subtle teachings
of the Vedas through stories and legends of the
ancient kings, heroes, sages, and divine
personalities. The Puranas are second only to the
epics as popular instruments of religious
teachings. There are eighteen major Puranas: six
of these are devoted to Lord Vishnu, six to
Lord Brahma, and the remaining six to Lord
Shiva. Their author is believed to be Sage Vyasa,
who also wrote the Mahabharata.
Of all the Puranas, the most popular Purana is
the Bhagavata Purana, which is devoted to Lord
Vishnu. The Bhagavata Purana includes 15,000
stanzas arranged in twelve chapters. A major
portion of this popular scripture is a dialogue
between Sage Suka (son of Sage Vyasa) and King
Parikshit. The Bhagavata Purana includes stories
of all the incarnations of Lord Vishnu, with the
story of Lord Krishna described in great detail.
This scripture teaches the different ways of
offering devotion to God, such as listening to
stories of God described in scriptures,
meditating, singing devotional songs, adoring
pictures and images of God, and performing all
work in the world in the spirit of service for the
Lord.

UPANISHADS
Upanishads:
Upanishads are the divine revelations received by ancient saints and seers. They represent
the essence of the Vedas, the greatest truths ever known to mankind.
Upanishads are humanity's most profound philosophical inquiry and the first perceptions
of the unity of all, the oneness of man and God. The basic teaching of the Upanishads is
that the essence of all beings - from a blade of grass to the perfect human being - and all
things is the Divine Spirit, called Brahman.
The true nature of an individual is this Divine Spirit. There is only one being, one reality, and
in the words of the Upanishads, 'Tattvam asi,' meaning 'That thou art.'
The word Upanishad consists of three parts:
Upa (near), (Without any doubt)
Ni (down), and (Complete or Special)
Shad (sit). (Knowledge)
Thus Upanishad means 'sitting near a teacher and receiving the secret teachings.' or
Complete Knowledge without any question or doubt. Free from theology and dogma, the
Upanishads remain the primary source of inspiration and guidance for millions of Hindus
and non-Hindus alike. They have influenced many Western thinkers, including Von Goethe,
Arthur Schopenhauer, and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
There are more total 220 Upansihads out there.
Note:
Param Pujya Gurudev translated 108 Upanishads 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 Pragyaavatar in 21st Century.
The Upanishads are the concluding portions of the Vedas, and the teachings based on
them are called Vedanta. The Upanishads focus on philosophical questions such as the
purpose of life.

upon to bring new era by awakening
consciousness of each and every human
being living on this earth. This awakening of
Chetna (Consciousness) will be in the
form of Pragya (Prakhar Buddhi-Wisdom)
that will change the thinking of majority of
the people during 21st Century. In this
Upanishad, the Rishis have not left any
question of common people unanswered.

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. Significance of the
Darshan Shastras and their period.
The Vedic literature is so extensive that it is hard even for a
Vedic genius to comprehend and remember the theme of all
of them. So Sage Jaimini, who was the pupil of Ved Vyas,
wrote the Poorv Mimansa Sutras to facilitate the correct
understanding of the Vedas.
Nyay and Vaisheshik Sutras describe the logical steps of how
to determine the rights and the wrongs in terms of finding
the absolute good for a person.
Sankhya Sutras explain the extent of mayic creation and the
Divinity beyond that. It tells that the entire mayic creation is
worth discarding and only the Divinity is to be attained
because that is the only source of Bliss.
Yog Sutras then explain the practical process of heart
purification which may qualify a person to experience the
absolute Divine.
Then the Brahm Sutra (Uttar Mimansa) reveals this secret
that God is absolute Divinity and absolute Bliss, and He is
Gracious.
So, yearn fully remember Him and with His Grace
experience His absolute Blissfulness forever.This is the
general outline of all the six Darshan Shastras.
Param Pujya Gurudev translated all 6
Darshans.
Shrimad Bhagvad Gita:





The Bhagavad Gītā (Sanskrit: भगवद्गीता - Song of God), also more simply
known as Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of the ancient
Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, but is frequently treated as a freestanding
text, and in particular, as an Upanishad in its own right, one of the several
books that comprise the more general Vedic tradition. It is revealed
scripture in the views of Hindus, the scripture for Hindus represents the
words and message of god, the book is considered among the most
important texts in the history of literature and philosophy.The teacher of
the Bhagavad Gita is Lord Krishna, who is revered by Hindus as a
manifestation of God (Parabrahman) Himself, and is referred to within as
Bhagavan, the Divine One.[2]
The context of the Gita is a conversation between Lord Krishna and the
Pandava prince Arjuna taking place in the middle of the battlefield before
the start of the Kurukshetra War with armies on both sides ready to
battle. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma about fighting
his own cousins who command a tyranny imposed on a disputed empire,
Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and prince, and
elaborates on different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, and explains
different ways in which the soul can reach the supreme being with
examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a
concise guide to Hindu theology and also as a practical, self-contained
guide to life. During the discourse, Lord Krishna reveals His identity as the
Supreme Being Himself (Svayam Bhagavan), blessing Arjuna with an aweinspiring vision of His divine universal form.
The Bhagavad Gita is also called Gītopaniṣad, implying its having the status
of an Upanishad, i.e. a Vedantic scripture. Since the Gita is drawn from the
Mahabharata, it is classified as a Smṛiti text. However, those branches of
Hinduism that give it the status of an Upanishad also consider it a śruti or
"revealed" text. As it is taken to represent a summary of the Upanishadic
teachings, it is also called "the Upanishad of the Upanishads". Another title
is mokṣaśāstra, or "Scripture of Liberation".
Param Pujya Gurudev wrote the materials for “Gita Vishwa Kosh” in 18
volumes comprises of over 10,000 pages. Shradheye Dr. Pranav Pandya,
head of All World Gayatri Pariwar, informed in his recent lecture that
Shantikunj is trying to compile this huge gigantic work of Gurudev and it
will take few years before it will get published. He mentioned that when it
will come out people will find everything what they want to answer their
any question.
It has been highly praised by not only prominent Indians such as Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi but also Aldous Huxley, Albert Einstein, J. Robert
Oppenheimer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Carl Jung, Heinrich Himmler and
Herman Hesse.
Ramayana




Valmiki Ramayan:
The Ramayana (Sanskrit: रामायण, Rāmāyaṇa,) is an
ancient Sanskrit epic. It is ascribed to the Hindu sage
Valmiki and forms an important part of the Hindu canon
(smṛti), considered to be itihāsa.The Ramayana is one of
the two great epics of India, the other being the
Mahabharata.[2] It depicts the duties of relationships,
portraying ideal characters like the ideal father, ideal
servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife and the ideal king.
The name Ramayana is a tatpurusha compound of Rāma
and ayana ("going, advancing"), translating to "Rama's
Journey". The Ramayana consists of 24,000 verses in seven
books (kāṇḍas) and 500 cantos (sargas), and tells the
story of Rama (an Avatar of the Hindu preserver-God
Vishnu), whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon king of
Lanka, Ravana. Thematically, the Ramayana explores human
values and the concept of dharma.Verses in the Ramayana
are written in a 32-syllable meter called anustubh. The
Ramayana was an important influence on later Sanskrit
poetry and Indian life and culture. Like the Mahābhārata,
the Ramayana is not just a story: it presents the teachings
of ancient Hindu sages in narrative allegory, interspersing
philosophical and devotional elements. The characters
Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman and Ravana are
all fundamental to the cultural consciousness of India.
There are other versions of the Ramayana, notably
Buddhist (Dasaratha Jataka No. 461) and Jain in India, and
also Indonesian, Philippine, Thai, Lao, Burmese and Malay
versions of the tale.

MAHABHARATA




Mahabharata (Sanskrit: “Great Epic of the Bharata
Dynasty”) one of the two Sanskrit great epic poems of
ancient India (the other being the Ramayana).
The Mahabharata is an important source of information on
the development of Hinduism between 400 bce and 200 bce
and is regarded by Hindus as both a text about dharma
(Hindu moral law) and a history (itihasa, literally “that’s what
happened”).
Appearing in its present form about 400 bce, the
Mahabharata consists of a mass of mythological and didactic
material arranged around a central heroic narrative that tells
of the struggle for sovereignty between two groups of
cousins, the Kauravas (sons of Dhritarashtra, the descendant
of Kuru) and the Pandavas (sons of Pandu).
The poem is made up of almost 100,000 couplets
(Verses)—about seven times the length of the Iliad and the
Odyssey combined—divided into 18 parvans, or sections, plus
a supplement titled Harivamsha (“Genealogy of the God
Hari”; i.e., of Vishnu).
Yug Rishi Ved Vyas had written and translated Mahabharata.
It discloses the continuous war between 'evil' and 'goodness',
at the end after a very long battle the goodness shall win,
with the blessing of God Almighty, and after a lot of sacrifices
had been done. The MAHABHARATA contains moral and
philosophical teachings adopted by Hindus.
VANGMAYA

over 3000 books in Hindi on almost all aspects of human life.
This covered wide ranging topics pertaining to – in-depth
analysis of spirituality, Psychology and Religion in Scientific light;
Yoga, as an Art of Living; Foundational Elements of Indian

 Erudite reviewers state that the perception, conception and
realization of different dimensions of Science, Philosophy,
Religion and Spirituality are expressed most vividly in Gurudev
Shriram Sharma’s literature. The depth and expansion of his
knowledge seem to have a natural coherence with very
impulse of human mind and the subliminal cores of sentiments
charged with divine force…….
