• At 78-day Vedic Yajna in Yol, Yogacharya highlights importance of Vedic wisdom, righteous wealth, and association with scholars

YOL (HIMACHAL PRADESH): During the ongoing 78-day Yajna dedicated to all four Vedas at Veda Mandir, Yogacharya Swami Ram Swarup Ji emphasized that true happiness cannot be attained without devotion to God and acquiring knowledge from learned scholars. While explaining selected mantras from Rigveda Mandal 1, Sukta 77, he stated that the most noble among human beings are those who seek guidance through the enlightened wisdom of the Vedas and uphold virtues such as protection and righteousness. Such individuals, he said, are worthy of becoming members of noble assemblies and are referred to in the Vedas as scholars, sages, seers, and ascetics.

Swami Ji further explained that human beings should live in the company of virtuous and knowledgeable Vedic scholars, learn Vedic knowledge, and implement it in their lives to attain lasting happiness. He noted that the Vedas clearly state that without the association of learned individuals and worship of God according to Vedic principles, one cannot achieve true wealth or happiness. Wealth acquired without proper knowledge and guidance, he cautioned, ultimately deprives a person of peace and joy. Citing Yajurveda Mantra 18/11, he concluded that pure and beneficial wealth, which brings happiness, can only be attained through Yajna performed in accordance with Vedic teachings.
