Voice of Vedas
"HINDUISM" aka "SANATAN DHARMA"
"NAMASTE" or " Bowing to your Divine Self"
******************************************
The Hindus received their religion through ancient Vedas, a word
derived from Vid, "to know". They hold that the Vedas are without
beginning and without end. It may be urged that these laws may be
without end, but they must have had a beginning.The Vedas teach us
that creation is without beginning or end. Science has proved that
the sum total of cosmic energy is always the same.Therefore, there
never was a time when there was no creation. To use a simile, we
can say, creator and creation are two lines without beginning and
without end, running parallel to each other. God is an ever-active
Providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved
out of chaos, made to run for a time, and again destroyed. It does
agree with modern science too.
Vedas mean the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discoverd by
different sages at different times. Just as the law of gravitation
existed before it's discovered, and would continue to exist even if
all humanity forgot it,so it is with the laws that govern spiritual
world.The discoverer of these laws are called Rishis, and we honour them as perfected beings. Vedas contain the essence of all religion
but we do not think that they alone contain the truths. Vedas teach
us the "immortality" of the soul.And this immortal and perfect soul
must be the same in the highest God as well as the humblest man,the
difference between them being only in the degrees in which the soul
manifests itself.
Thus, every human being has a perfect divinity within himself, and
each one must show his divinity sooner or later. Vedanta teaches to
us- call forth your soul, show your divinity. Teach your children
that they are divine, that religion is a positive something, and
not a negative nonsense.
If we cannot be the makers of our own fortune, then we are not free.
The present is but the effect of the past. Some are born happy, and
enjoy perfect health.....others are born miserable and only drag on
a wretched existence. Why would a just and merciful God create one
happy and another unhappy? So there must have been causes, before
his birth, to make a man miserable or happy. Those are his own past actions. This is our Philosophy of Migration of the Soul.
Taking all this for granted, you may ask, how is it that I do not remember anything of my past life? That is because consciousness
is only the surface of the mental ocean, and within its depth are
stored up all our experiences. Try and struggle, they would come up
and you would be conscious even of yoru past life.
So then the Hindu believs that he is a spirit. Him the sword cannot pierce-Him the fire cannot burn-Him the water cannot melt-Him the
air cannot dry. Nor is this soul bound by conditions of matter. In
its very essence, soul is free, unbounded, holy, pure and perfect.
