Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 LOVING SERVICE FOREVER The Sanathana Dharma(The eternal Religion) which is the basis of Bharathiya culture is the essence of the lessons enunciated in all the vedic texts.This Dharma(righteousness) is the source and spring of various systems of Philosophy,codes of morality and even the different forms and streams of literature.Though these means the Dharma has taught that man cannot live in peace,until he knows what ought to be known,he casts away what has to be cast away,and reaches the goal he has to reach.Veda means awareness,knowledge,discrimination.The four Vedas(scriptures of eternal value)teach us who and what we really are and how we are related to the world around us.This is the end of all enquiry,the aim of all scientific search. Knowledge has its consummation in the discovery of TRUTH.TRUTH which survives past,present,and future unaffected.Sathyam,Jnanam,Anatham-Both Sathyam(Truth)and Jnanam(spiritual wisdom) are Anantham(without end)."They are eternal and limitless.The vedas are vocal expressions of both these.To consider Vedas as literature or Poetry is to devalue them.Vedic Hymns are not intended for empty worship by rituals.They have been recorded by sages to help,practise and to experience.The sages had recognised this factor and therefore,the Vedas have survived untarnished until today.Their practise became Yajnas(sacrificial rituals).Their Prayer became songs.
