KATHUA: The spiritually vibrant atmosphere at Ved Mandir, Yol, Himachal Pradesh, continued to inspire devotees on the 29th day of the ongoing 78-day Yajna Anushthan dedicated to the study and recitation of all four Vedas. During the daily discourse, eminent Vedic scholar and Yogacharya Swami Ram Swarup Ji delivered an enlightening sermon stressing the eternal relevance of Vedic wisdom and the importance of worshipping the Almighty through the pure mantras revealed in the Vedas.
Drawing the attention of devotees towards Rigveda Mantra 8/95/7, Swami Ji explained that society must collectively encourage seekers and worshippers to return to the original path of Vedic worship. Quoting the sacred expressions “Shuddham Indram Shuddhena Stavama” and “Shuddhaih Ukthaih”, he said that the Supreme God, who is eternally pure, formless, omnipresent, and beyond human limitations, should be worshipped only through pure Vedic hymns and Sama chanting revealed directly by the Almighty.
Elaborating upon the spiritual meaning of the mantra, Swami Ji stated that God is inherently pure and does not require external rituals such as ceremonial bathing, decoration, or physical offerings. He said the Vedas impart the knowledge that the Almighty can only be realised through purity of thought, disciplined conduct, yajna, yoga, and the recitation of sacred Vedic mantras.
He further referred to Samaveda Mantras 382, 376, and 257, explaining that these mantras also direct mankind towards worship based solely on Vedic knowledge. According to him, the Vedas constitute the original and eternal divine knowledge bestowed upon humanity at the beginning of creation for the welfare of all beings.
Expressing concern over the declining awareness of Vedic teachings in modern times, Swami Ji remarked that society has gradually moved away from authentic Vedic traditions and has instead become dependent upon man-made customs, sectarian beliefs, and ritualistic practices. He urged devotees to deeply reflect upon the origin of spiritual knowledge and understand that at the dawn of creation there were no human beings to compose religious books or formulate differing ideologies. Therefore, he said, the eternal wisdom of the four Vedas manifested directly from God for guiding humanity on the path of righteousness and truth.
Swami Ji emphasised that while human beings may write books according to their personal beliefs, opinions, or traditions, the knowledge contained in the Vedas is free from attachment, hatred, discrimination, and narrow divisions. The Supreme God, he said, imparts the same universal knowledge equally to all human beings without distinction.
Highlighting the message of universal brotherhood contained in the Vedas, Swami Ji said that God has never created divisions, sects, or conflicts among mankind. Instead, Vedic teachings promote unity, equality, peace, compassion, self-discipline, and spiritual harmony. He urged devotees to study the Vedas under the guidance of learned Acharyas and incorporate Vedic principles into daily life for attaining true peace, happiness, and spiritual upliftment.The discourse concluded with devotional chanting, yajna offerings, and prayers for universal peace and welfare, with devotees expressing deep spiritual enthusiasm and reverence towards the timeless wisdom of the Vedas.
