Why to read Vedas??

[neha_re...@hotmail.com]

The moment one hears the word Vedas; one associates the word with the
superstitious, orthodox, ritualistic Indian mythology. The Indian way
of living, the languages that we speak, the religion we follow, the
concepts of morals and ethics are but an offshoot of what the Vedas
hold in its wide spectrum. This tradition enjoyed supreme status once
upon a time.
It speaks of a rich cultural past, the incomprehensible treasure
troves of knowledge and an innate sense of well-being. Nothing about
Vedas appears to be contemporary or happening. Yet everything about
India is associated with rich Vedic culture tradition. In fact, the
language of Veda, Sanskrit, called Geervana Bharathi, suggests that it
is the language of Bharatha (India). The Indian term for culture -
Samskruthi - has been derived from the word Samskriti. In short, Vedic
tradition is the decoction of the very essence of India.

Yet somewhere along the archives of time Vedas and Vedic practices was
relegated to a corner, crowned as a finer work meant for the scholarly
Brahminical race. Practices were excluded from the mainstream and was
patronised by the priestly clan to communicate with God in the form of
prayers. Interestingly, it is ironical to note that the best literary
work of Indian culture display a contrary record. Great works were
written by non-Brahmins, Vyasa, the son of a fisherwoman authored the
Mahabharata; Valmiki, a hunter, wrote the Ramayana; Kalidas, a
shepherd, composed extraordinary plays and poetry, and Jabala, an
outcast, compiled the Jabala Upanishad.

The constant invasions and exposure to varied foreign culture made the
common man in India lose track of the tradition and culture over a
period of time. He shunned the Vedas unable to cope with its exactness
and wholesomeness, switching over to user-friendly dialects. Sanskrit
was slowly sidelined and all the Indian languages that we speak today
emerged and evolved varying in shades, complementing the region it was
adopted by. Yet this tradition survived the onslaught because
academicians across the globe realized that a wealth of knowledge
encompassing all subjects under the sun lay beneath the veneer of this
ancient tradition.

The decline of Indian value system in modern times worried people like
Swami Dayananda Saraswati. With the commitment to our great tradition
Pujya Swamiji Established Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, an institute for the
traditional study of Advaita Vedanta, Sanskrit, Yoga, Ayurveda,
astrology, and other classical Indian disciplines. The word Arsha
means that which is from the Rishis - the great sages of ancient
India. The word Vidya means knowledge. Gurukulam refers to a
residential center for learning with the teacher. Thus, Arsha Vidya
Gurukulam is a place where one learns the knowledge imparted by the
Rishis. From 1986 The Gurukulam is patterned after the ancient
gurukulams of India. The Gurukulam offers Indians and Westerners alike
an opportunity to study the profound spiritual knowledge of the
Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Brahmasutras, and other classical Vedic
texts in English in the USA.
Located on 14 acres in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, a serene setting in
the Pocono Mountains, the Gurukulam offers short- and long-term
programs of study for guest and resident students of all ages. The
campus is adorned by a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord
Dakshinamurti, considered the first teacher of Vedic knowledge. Apart
from Vedanta, classes on Sanskrit, Vedic chanting, Vedic astrology,
Ayurveda, meditation and Iyengar Yoga are also offered. There are
ongoing meditation and Vedanta classes, which anyone can attend
without prior registration.

The atmosphere strongly reminds one of Swami Vivekananda's words who
said, Religion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that
goes, India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social
reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one
of her children. Before flooding India with socialistic or political
ideas, first deluge the land with spiritual ideas.
