Why we Need to Chant Vedas....

Veda literally means knowledge. This knowledge is without beginning.
They are the vibrations created out of the breath of the Supreme.
Through the Vedas the Supreme is to be known.Brahma created the
worlds with the aid of the knowledgeof the Veda mantras which existed
as vibrations / sound in space. The sages / rishis became aware of these
vibrations when in close communion with the Supreme in periods of
ecstasy / trance, so much so, that they burst into spontaneous
expressions of truth seen through the Soul's eye and gave the world the
Veda mantras / hymns.

The Vedas are called "Sruthi" or that which is heard. Without being
recorded in writing, the Vedas have been passed from generation to
generation in the ancient method of learning by the ear in Guru-Sishya
( Master-Disciple ) tradition. One reason for not learning entirely from
written text was that some sounds do not lend themselves to be
accurately reproduced phonetically. They fall in between two syllables
and there are many such sounds in the Vedas. These can be trasmitted
only orally.

In addition the Veda mantras have to be recited in a certain cadence or
rhythm to produce the necessary vibration and to have the desired
effect of elevation of the Soul to spiritual heights and experience the
Supreme. The essence of the Vedas is thus to provide knowledge to the
Soul to enable it to evolve to a state of communion with the Supreme.
These universal truths were initially propounded in the form of Rcks and
compiled as the Rig Veda.

Age of the Vedas

The picture is an enlarged fraction of an image called the Hubble Deep
Field which was assembled from actual photos taken late 1995 by the
aid of the Hubble Space Telescope. The smaller lightobjects are galaxies
or galaxy clusters close to what astronomers believe to be the very edge
of the universe 10-20 billion lightyears away. The Hubble Deep Field
represents at the time mankind's deepest optical view of the
universe.Light recieved from an object 10 billion lightyears away has
been moving through space for 10 billion years. This means that parts of
the Hubble Deep Field image are created by the telescope apparatus
being hit by photons emitted at elementary processes that took place
10-20 billion years ago.
Vedic Mantras are from the beginning of
Time--prior to Big Bang !!!
Sounds as vibrations have come down
unchanged from origin of creation
Rig Veda

In the Rig Veda , the universal truths propounded explain the universal
order of life in three planes
* Internal ( to the Soul )
* External ( to the body in terms of Dharma or worldly life )
* Spiritual ( in terms of the cosmos )

The universal order of life in these three planes is then linked to the
Supreme encompassing the three planes. Thus all terms / names
mentioned such as Indra, Agni, Vayu etc. have exoteric and esoteric
significance in each of the three planes as understood by the individual
Soul depending on the spiritual evolution of the Soul.
Sama Veda

The Sama Veda consists of hymns ( many of them common with the Rig
Veda ) which when sung in the appropriate manner will strike a chord in
enabling one to understand the universal truths and order of life
depending on their stage of spiritual evolution.
The source of the musical patterns of the Sama Veda hymns is derived
from the vibration / sounds of the cosmos. This reveals that spiritual

evolution can be achieved through music.
( by hearing as well as
singing )
Yajur Veda

The Yajur Veda consists of hymns from the Rig Veda along with other
hymns which when recited in the performance of a yajna / havan will
enable the Soul or the beneficiaries to understand the universal truths
of the Veda in any or all of the three planes of its meanings depending
on the individual's stage of spiritual evolution. Though the Yajur Veda is
associated with performance of Yajna for worldly gains, it is understood
that the individual beneficiaries will ultimately evolve spiritually and
subsequently undertake these Yajnas for the spiritual and material
benifits of mankind as a whole. The Yajur Veda has two distinct schools
of presentation and following as explained below
The Shukla Yajur Veda

This Veda is followed in theNorthern parts of India and has mantras in
the form of the Veda and Brahmanas ( explanatory notes to the
mantras ) presented in the Satapatha Brahmana. The Shukla Yajur Veda
is said to have been taught by the "Sun" to sage Yajnavalkya and hence
the name "Shukla" or "White" Yajur Veda.
The Krishna Yajur Veda

This is followed in the Southern parts of India and has Veda mantras and
Brahmanas intermixed - that is, the Brahmanas follow the mantras as
explanatory notes in the Veda text itself. Since Shukla Yajur Veda is
known as "White", this Yajur Veda has been denoted as "Krishna" or
"Black" Yajur Veda.
Both the versions are accepted as authentic and both schools are
practised widely.
Atharva Veda
The Atharva Veda, when understood in the external plane, is generally known to contain hymns common to the Rig Veda including others for the sole purpose of performing "Magic" or to communicate with ghosts


and spirits or for curing ailments. However, when viewed in the spiritual plane, the Atharva Veda expounds universal truths of the oneness of the universe, the way to live in communion with the world of evolved souls, to pray for a healthy life and finally to merge with the Supreme.
Essence of the Vedas
All the Vedas provide the same knowledge to experience the Supreme
through different paths.
The Rig Vedi would approach this goal through prayer and intellectual

pursuits.
The Sama Vedi through musical renderings of the hymns
The Yajur Vedi through Yajna and invocation of Agni to carry the

message of the hymns to the Supreme.
The Atharva Vedi through tantra or other rituals.
The Vedas propound and accept all forms of religious practice in the
pursuit of understanding and merging with the Supreme. Hence it is
highly secularand tolerant in its teachings by ultimately preaching

"May Happiness and Peace come to One and All irrespective of Faith , Creed , Colour and Social order of the Society including Beings of other forms of evolution"

And Finally
"Conclusion Is a Place Where We are Tired Of Thinking"....!!!
