Full textAbstract:
The Vedas which are the most important scriptures in Hinduism contain a collection of revelations which are compiled and systematically rearranged according to their purpose. All the Vedas referred to as the Samhita and Sruti Mantra comprise four groups or the Chess of the Vedic Samhita. The sruti means revelation, Samhita which means set. The four groups (samhita) are: Rg Veda, Yajna Veda, Sama Veda and Atharwa Veda, three of the four groups of Vedas are called Tri Widya or Vedic Trayi, so Atharwa Veda is classified as the fourth or final Veda, traditionally the Atharwa Veda is recognized as the Hindu scripture of the Hindu religion. included in the sruti Veda (Sruti Veda). Atharwa Veda contains things that are commonly known by the people or people and not so with the contents of the Rg Veda its contents are more secular compared to other Vedas that specialize in teaching about religious worship, Atharwa Veda teachings mainly teach how people can overcome the peace that results in division and suffering in human life, many interpreted to contain wisdom about worldly life while the way of worship is not a basic creed.

Full textAbstract:
Hinduism is undoubtedly the oldest religion of the world and though there are disagreement over the period amongst some historian but it was during 1900 to 1500 BC when Hindu religion came into existence. The foremost religious text of Hindu is Vedas and the origin of the Vedas can be traced back as far as 1500 BCE, when a large group of Aryans crossed the Hindu Kush Mountains and came to Indian subcontinent. The Vedas are full of knowledge.The Vedas have guided the Indian civilization for thousands of years and the Four Vedas are the pillar of Hinduism. The very word Veda has a derivational meaning – the fountainhead and illimitable storehouse of all knowledge. This article will only focus on the mathematical content available in Vedas, Puranas, Ramayana and Mahabharata. In Rig Veda and Atharva Veda, there are several instance where numbers in the power of tens, even numbers, odd numbers, multiples of four, value of pi, mathematical operation such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division have been discussed not in the way we use in our courses but the presence of larger number even up to 1060 is evident. The speed of light, about seven colourful rays of sunlight all these are enough to make a belief that Vedas have put a strong foundation of number system and decimal system. Not even that, even geometrical knowledge found in Sulbha sutra as par excellence and many of them have origin prior to Greek mathematician to whom we owe everything.

Full textAbstract:
Vedic texts have established the cult of worshipping natural phenomena, which from the surface understanding is the process of personification, but in real, Vedic hymns show on how the Vedic people have understood the underlying power of nature. Vedas, Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda, have joined the human culture with the philosophy of nature in the mode of natural theology. The culture of sacrifice taught through Vedic hymns has conveyed the knowledge of mutual dependence of man, God and nature. Vedas have proven the natural theological notion of nature-God relation with the hymns devoted to nature phenomena as the metaphors of power, creativity, essence and purity in the forms of deities. Vedas have pertained ecocentrism as the cultural practice of nature eminence. They have further addressed the idea of environmental ethics through the Vedic view of cosmological and ontological unity in nature, and the ethics of natural law in the form of rita, dharma and karma. With the examination of Vedic priority to nature, especially from the Rig Veda, this study anticipates to link Vedic natural religion with the nineteenth century philosophy of natural theology and late twentieth century ecological study of environmental ethics.

Full textAbstract:
Atharva Veda occupies a unique position among the four Vedas. The other three Vedas deal with matters of other world, the gods, the nature and supernatural, while Atharva Veda is more worldly. It seeks to solve the problems of this world and its common people. It deals with topic like leading a long and healthy life, to avoid sorrow, to ward off illness, to vanquish or win over the enemy, etc. Atharva Veda presents a detailed description of the life style of a very early stage of human society, which has just entered the agricultural stage. The importance of animal wealth cows, oxen, horses is much more. New kingdoms are being established. Men want to live happy healthy lives upto one hundred years. Pandit Bhagwat Sharma Upadhyay, in hindi Vishwakosh, says, “The stress in Atharva Veda is not so much on the use of Karma Kanda or the rituals, as on doing right or wrong, high or low, do-s and don’ts, popular beliefs, and tendencies of life. From this point of view, the importance of Atharva Veda is much more, for the historian, than of the other three Vedas. The first references to puranas, history, gathas etc. are found here. This Veda also points to many such traditions which are not only older than Rig Veda, but really go back to very very old times”.

Full textAbstract:
Vedas are earliest collection of Hindu scripture. The word Veda was originated from Sanskrit verb ‘Vida’ inane meaning to “to know”. Vedas are collection of knowledge. Literatures, written on the basis of Vedas are called Vedic literature. Itihansas and puranas are also known as Vedic literature. Each and every dimension of geography is expressed in Vedic Literature very strongly. This paper simply tries to present the geographical issue expressed in different Vedic literature. Different research papers written about Vedic geography, books of Vedas and puranas are used as materials for the formation of this paper. Topographic explanation and their classification for regionalization is carefully presented in vedic literature such as Dwipas, Khandas and Barshas. River is praised as mother in Vedas and nature and behavior of river was known by Vedic people. Ricveda is full of praising river. Seasonality month and different weather is explained in different Vedas and vedic literatures. Six seasons and twelve months are explained in vedic literature. Fire, wind, water, earth are taken as different forms of god and praised as human environment interaction. People are discouraged for deforestation means not to destroy home of god. Quantitative and mathematical geography is another great feature of vedic literature. Measurement unit techniques of time and distance are very strong geographical representation of vedic literature. The measurement of time starts from ‘pramanu’ to ‘mahayuga’ and distance starts from ‘pramanu’ to ‘krosha’.

Abstract This article discusses the first Indian compilation of the four Vedic Saṃhitās into a printed book in the year 1971 entitled “Bhagavān Vedaḥ.” This endeavor was the life’s mission of an udāsīn ascetic called Guru Gaṅgeśvarānand Mahārāj (1881–1992) who in the year 1968 founded the “Gaṅgeśvar Caturved Sansthān” in Bombay and appointed one of his main disciples, Svāmī Ānand Bhāskarānand, to oversee the publication of the book. His main motivation was to have a physical representation of the Vedas for Hindus to be able to have the darśana (auspicious sight) of the Vedas and worship them in book form. This contribution explores the institutions and individuals involved in the editorial work and its dissemination, and zooms into the processes that allowed for the transition from orality to print culture, and ultimately what it means when the Vedas are materialized into “the book of the Hindus.”

Wonder that is India. India is wonderful because of its abundant and affluent cultural heritage. The cultural heritage of India is prudential of its spiritual richness and classical creativity. Vedic literature is the most wonderful and unparallel literary creation of Ancient India. Vedic literature has made this country worthy of worship. Vedas are without beginning and without end. Veda is author-less. It is Apauruseya. They are considered to be the direct word of the Divine. Vedic knowledge appeared in the dawn of the cosmos within the heart of Brahma. Brahma imparted this knowledge in the form of sound (Sabda) to his sons who are great sages. They transmitted the Vedic sound heard from Brahma to their disciples all over universe. There are four Vedas. They are the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda. Four Vedas contain four types of texts such as The Samhitas, The Arankayas, The Brahmanas and The Upanishads. Veda is accepted as a code of conduct to Sanatan Dharma. The teaching of Veda is the concept that the individual is not an independent entity, but, rather, a part of the Universal Consciousness. Upanishads is the manifestation of Vedantic thought. Sada Darshan (Six Systems of Vedanta) is a very important part of Vedic philosophy. Swami Nigamananda a great Master of Vedic Literature achieved Nirbikalpa Sidhi of Vedanta in the year 1904. The philosophy of Vedanta is reflected in the creation of Swami Nigamananda. In his writings (Yogi Guru, Jnani Guru, Tantrik Guru, Premik Guru, Brahmacharya Sadhana and Vedanta Viveka) he has explained the main scriptures of Vedas such as The Upanishads, The Bramha Sutras and The Bhagavad Gita. His philosophy teaches us to love and live in a state of eternal freedom. The Philosophy of Swami Nigamananda is a synthesis of Sankar and Gouranga i.e. knowledge and love. Knowledge envisages the path of analysis and Love, the path of synthesis. In this way Nigamananda convincingly reconciled the two apparently contradictory creeds of Adi Shankaracharya and Gauranga Mohapravu. “He advised his disciples to combine Shankara’s view and Gournaga’s way and walk on this path of synthesis. In fact attainment of Jnana through Bhakti is the nucleus of his philosophy. Through his teachings and works, he proclaimed to the world the fundamental harmony of all religions that there are many paths which lead to the same goal”.

Full textAbstract:
Rishi, Devata, Chanda, are the three foundational pillars of the four Vedas: Rik,Yaju, Sama and Atharva. Each of these four is collection of mantra and mantra collection is called Samhita. Each Samhita consists of Brahmana, Aranyaka and Upanisad texts and these are interpretive texts of Samhita. Both Samhita and interpretive texts form the vast body of Vedic literature. Samhitas are original texts whereas Brahmana and Aranyaka are their interpretations, and the Upanisads are philosophic texts of the Vedas. Rishi, Devata and Chanda are formative elements of the Vedas. Rishis are the wise scholars who have realized Vedic mantras and handed the same to their disciples which in the long run develop different Sakha or branches of each Veda and such sakha altogether were 1131 and now only 26 sakha with their texts are available. Concept of Devata is suggestive of the theme and the subject matter of Vedic literature. In the Vedas Devatas are representatives of divine entity having certain physical form. The sun, the wind/ Indra and Agni (fire) are three Devata of the space, interspace and the earth. Vedas discusses One Almighty Brahma/ Purusha taking different forms as Devata based on various performances. Each Vedic Samhita and all interpretive literature follow structural pattern and especially Rigveda follows rigid metrical pattern. Each mantra of Vedic literature demands proper understanding of its Rishi, Devata and Chanda in order to capture its true spirit.

There is a deep connection between music and Vedas. Music has been described in the Vedas as an important part of the creation of the universe. Music has been ranked as "Nadabrahma" in the Vedas, which is considered a symbol of meditation and bliss of Brahma. Music has been considered in the Vedas as a medium for the upliftment and progress of the human soul. There are four major Vedas in the Vedas – Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. Music finds special mention in the Samaveda, which provides inspiration and ideality for kirtan and worship. In the Vedas, music has been considered an important medium to take the energy of the soul to the heights, which promotes musicalization of the soul. Furthermore, music has been associated in the Vedas with time, place, and circumstances, thereby relating it to the society, cultural, and spiritual environment. The description of various ragas in the Vedas refers to the stimulation and stabilization of human emotions. . Emotions like meditation, peace, enthusiasm, love, etc. are stimulated through music in the Vedas, which improves the state of human mind. Music is related to human brain function, emotional balance, and mental health. The use of different ragas and swaras activates certain areas of the brain and produces emotionally based responses. The highest purpose of music in the Vedas is the development of the soul.

Man is not only an animal that eats, dresses, and lives, but also an animal with religious knowledge. Only man, unlike animals, has discovered a superhuman power to protect himself from threatening evil and to obtain what he desires. How the ancient people came to think about religion is an unending debate among anthropologists and realists. He mentions that scholars like "Periluite" and others like "Thurkiyam" think that the fear that appeared in the people is the reason for the emergence of religion. The text says that there was a principle behind the fact that Veeduperu (Salvation), Meyporul (Reality), Illatthuravu (Give up material life), Vethanambikkai (Belief in Vedas), Nadukal Vanakkam (Salutation to Hero Stone), the number three, Veda and Velvi (Veda and Sacrifice), are considered to be religious as well as subjected to scrutiny and appropriate that being religious is wise. Therefore, Ilango has also indicated the state of meditation of the saints of Jainism. It can be seen in three places in Silapathikaram that the people of that time gave importance to the number three in their lives. Countless sounds are heard in the city of Madurai. Then it can be known that the Vedas have been used in a faith-based manner by the fact that they are recited and the sound is heard. During the Silapathikaram era, virtuous Brahmins lived all over Tamil Nadu. They recited the Vedas, made prayers, and performed their six types of activities, such as reciting, desiring, conducting prayers, and offering gifts. The Epic emphasises the excellence of the Vedas by praising the maadalan. "Gods are peerless warriors who do good." According to the Greek philosopher, Euchemerus, after the deaths of these heroes, the people began to worship them as gods. But he also accepts the worship of dead ancestors as the root cause of religion. Despite these differences of opinion, religion is a very deep subject that resonates with man's deep experiences. A place where the thoughts and dreams of billions of minds flash, explaining the religious beliefs of the Silapathikaram period.

Sri Vaishnava Tradition has been considering both Sanskrit and Tamil as its two eyes and hence the scholars were refered as “Ubhaya vedantins” (Knowledgeable in both Tamil and Sanskrit). It is popular belief that Acharyas are very fluent in Vedas, Upanishads and the rest while not so much accustomed to Tamil literature. On the contrary the early Acharyas have excelled in their knowledge of Tamil literature and have used their Tamil vocabulary to enrich their commentaries for Divyaprabandams. From Acharya Ramanuja to present day heads of Vaishnava tradition have maintained that Divyaprabandams have to be revered as “Veda samyam” and often referred to them as “Tamil Marai” (Vedas in Tamil). This essay presents glimpses in to the commentary literature and the life style of Acharyas to throw light into the knowledge and service rendered by Acharyas for the Tamil language

The Vedas are Hindu scriptures whose values must be believed. Thousand-year-old Vedas come from the mainland of the Sindhu river valley and spread to all corners of the world, not to mention that Indonesia also received the influence of the teachings of the Vedas. Vedic values are critical to the local culture so that it further strengthens the foundation of civilization. In Indponesia, the Vedas became a foothold for the Hindu occupation. In Java the vedas were adopted not only as holy books, but also as valuable knowledge. The concept of Vedas is widely used by Javanese people to mark truth, or to point to a place. The Hindu community in Java, explores the vines not only through the form of ceremonies, but also becomes part of the lifestyle and symbol of diversity. Vedic verses are not much displayed in the corner of the family room or temple, but the reflection of the Vedic value echoes in the joints of Javanese society. Hndu in Java slowly began to revitalize the values of the Vedic teachings through Dharmagita activities, pesantian, pasraman activities, Hindu young generation actions. In order to echo the teachings of the Vedas need synergistic work between religious leaders, families, religious assemblies to formally elevate the Vedic scriptures.

Full textAbstract:
The Bhagavad Gita is usually called the fifth veda ( pancama veda ), together with the four Sanskrit Vedas, namely the Rig Veda , Atharwa Veda , Sama Veda and Yajur Veda . The Balinese are familiar with the five vedas, and know the Bhagavad Gita as the sixth book of the ancient Javanese version of the Mahabharata epic. The Bhagavad Gita that features as a part of the ancient Javanese version of the Bhisma Parwa is ascribed to King Teguh Dharmawangsa Anantavikrama Uttunggadewa of the Kediri Kingdom in the 10th century CE. He is credited to have been responsible for ordering the translation of the Mahabharata (known in Bali as Asta Dasar Parwa —the 18 parwas). This translation effort from Sanskrit into the ancient Javanese language was dubbed mangjawaken Byasamata (translating into Javanese the works of the sage Byasa). The ancient Javanese version of the Bhagavad Gita contains the dialogues between Kresna and Arjuna about the swadarma (holy obligations and responsibilities) of a ksatriya (warrior) according to his wangsa (social class). A ksatriya was deemed responsible for defending his country, fighting against the enemy, as well as for upholding truth, satya wacana (truthfulness), lascarya (sincerity) and sradha bhakti (devotional service).

Full textAbstract:
The Sāmaveda teaches us the way of Vedic chanting in the sacrifices and other events. There are 2.637 verses in this Veda which have been kept as the third Veda in order of the four vedas. There are two major parts of Sāmaveda as gāna and ārcikā. Again the gāna section is divided into two as grāmageya and araṇyageya while the ārcika is also divided into two as pūrvārcikā and uttarārcikā. In this paper, the content of the Sāmaveda is scrutinized considering the subdivisions of the text. It is clear that the modern western and eastern music are based on this Sāmavedic melodies and tones. The Vedic accent and the correct pronunciation connected with meters are taught in this Veda. Here, the focus is on that explanation considering the value of the original Vedic chanting.

Full textAbstract:
The unanimous opinion among religious philosophers is that the Vedas and bhakti are two different denominators of approach to God in Indian tradition. However, the Tamil Vaiṣṇava mystics, the Āḻvārs find a harmonious blend of the two modes in ritual worship. The present article examines the pros and cons of the problem from a study of the hymns beginning with the Mutal (Early) Āḻvārs and last in the train, Tirumaṅkai. The cited hymns are replete with the bounties of nature associated with the divyadeśa-Kōvalūr that we examine for a case study. Bhakti or the Veda is the euphony linked with nature. The present article explains how the Āḻvārs had harmonized the Veda with bhakti. These are complementary modes of approach to God. They are not conflicting phenomena. By the way, data bearing on flora and fauna dumped in the twenty-one hymns on Kōvalūr are presented in a capsule (Attachment).

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the origin and the later developments of the Veda. The objective is to examine the materialist philosophical content of the early Vedas and contrast it with the idealistic readings of the text from later eras. This article discusses the research issues surrounding the historical roots of the Vedic literature and the idealistic changes made to it in later times. The study has used historical materialism as a methodological tool and examined several Vedic verses, relating them to the socioeconomic conditions of the period in which they were composed. The article has analyzed the roots of some terminologies frequently used in the text and their connections to the philosophy of the Veda. The terms bhagavan, rita, Dānam, Havana, Brahman, yajña and name of some gods are frequently used in the Veda and their meanings are analyzed in a particular historical contexts. The article reveals that the Vedic verses are the simple creations of Vedic Aryans and they are associated with the everyday desires of the Vedic people, such as those for food, cattle, rain, safety, prosperity, health, and progeny. The early creation of the Vedic verses are this-worldly and materialistic in content and they are in no way otherworldly and spiritualistic. The meaning of most of the terminologies found in the text has materialistic origin and in course of time, their meanings are converted into opposite. The philosophy of the Veda has its root in the collective mode of production and with the introduction of private property and classes, the text is made an ideological tool of the minority of governing classes. The Veda's original materialistic meaning is altered, and the book is transformed into a spiritual guidebook—an ideological weapon used by the ruling classes to deceive and repress the vast majority of laboring people.

Habitualmente, en el mundo académico que se ocupaba del pensamiento de la India, era normal que se afirmara que en los cuatro Vedas no se encontraba nada de filosofía. Había que esperar al surgimiento de las Upaniṣad para que estuviéramos ante el fenómeno filosófico, fenómeno que luego desarrollarían las seis dársanas o sistemas clásicos del hinduismo (el budismo tiene su propia trayectoria). Solo René Guénon y sus seguidores atribuían a los Vedas la presencia de verdadera filosofía; metafísica, en palabras de Guénon.

Full textAbstract:
The Ashvamedha Yagya has been hailed as the monarch of rituals in the Indian tradition. Since Vedic times, the Ashvamedha holds a distinguished position among sacrificial rites. The horse symbolizes power. In the Shatapatha Brahmana, potent entities such as the nation, Indra, and the Sun are metaphorically portrayed as horses. The term 'Medha' is synonymous with 'Yagya'. The Nighantu texts provide 15 synonyms for Yagya, one of which is 'Medha'. In the comprehensive meaning of Ashvamedha, in Vedic rhetoric, 'Medha' signifies the awakening of intellect or wisdom. Delving into the philosophical significance of Ashvamedha in scriptural contexts is imperative to grasp this invaluable heritage. This research paper endeavors to understand Ashvamedha in the backdrop of Vedic literature, particularly by deciphering the meanings of the mantras presented in the Vedas. In Rigveda 5/27/4, Ashvamedha signifies the ultimate truth or reality; in Rigveda 5/27/5, it symbolizes the flow of creative power and the bliss represented by the essence of Soma; and in Rigveda 8/68/15 and 8/68/16, Ashvamedha is said to lead to the attainment of strength and the flow of life force. Ashvamedha leads to the enhancement of our intellect, meaning the awakening of wisdom, through which a human is established in the Supreme. The Vedas tell us that the purification of human consciousness through Ashvamedha - the awakening of wisdom - is the reward of Ashvamedha, and that the worship (Medha) of the divine power flow (Ashva) is the expansive, cosmic purpose of Ashvamedha.

Full textAbstract:
For the debate on orality, literacy and memorization, India provides some striking evidence. In his comparative analysis of ‘oral aspects of scripture’, Graham gives the Hindu tradition a special place, for the ‘ancient Vedic tradition represents the paradigmatic instance of scripture as spoken, recited word’ (Graham 1987:68). The Vedas, the oldest texts of Hinduism, have been transmitted orally for three thousand years or more, despite the very early implementation of writing, and it is the Vedas as recited from memory by Brahmans that are alone authoritative. A corollary of the spoken word's primacy is that in teaching the Vedas and other texts, although ‘written texts have been used’, ‘a text without a teacher to teach it directly and orally to a pupil is only so many useless leaves or pages’ (ibid.: 74).

Full textAbstract:
The ancient Vedas and scriptures contain a wealth of virtues and wisdom passed down through generations in Indian culture. These texts guide how to live a virtuous and fulfilling life, emphasising the importance of compassion, honesty, self-discipline, and spiritual growth. The Vedas also contain hymns, prayers, and rituals that are believed to connect individuals with the divine and promote inner peace and harmony. Overall, the ancient Vedas and scriptures provide inspiration and guidance for those seeking to lead a meaningful and ethical life. To fully comprehend the texts, one must possess knowledge of the Vishay (subject matter), sambandh (relationship), Prajna (purpose), and Adhikari (Ayurvedic Student/Scholar). These four elements, called Anubandha Chatushtaya, are crucial in understanding the text's meaning and intention. By incorporating Anubandha Chatushtya, the text becomes more effective in conveying its message and facilitating the reader's understanding of its purpose.

<p>In this paper a novel methodology is proposed to identify and to compare the frequency range of different Vedic chantings from Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda and Sama Veda. Nowadays in spite of busy schedule and hectic work, the human beings are mostly stressed. To get rid from this stressed state, one of the best solutions is listening Vedic chantings. The alpha brainwaves are in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz under giving relaxation to stressed human being. Three selected samples from each Veda have been processed through the simulation compiler Praat and the parameters like spectral response, pitch, intensity, formants and pulses have observed. In the above identified parameters, the frequency in intensity calculation is taken for each sample. This frequency is compared with the brainwaves for which the frequencies are in the ranges of 0 Hz to >27 Hz (alpha, beta, gamma, theta and delta). The extracted signal frequencies from Vedic chantings are compared with frequencies of brainwaves. Among the four Vedas, the frequencies extracted from Sama Veda lies in alpha frequency range. The remaining is fluctuating from alpha.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to determine the influence of vedic culture on the development of Ukrainian law. The paper utilises the elements comparative study of law, linguistics, and deductive methods. The vedic culture was rediscovered by Englishmen, when they conquered India. The colonialists discovered, that in this remote Asian country vedic culture was preserved and dominated local people. On the basis of sacred books – Vedas – the complicated system of law was developed. It was fixed in written form in so called Dharma-shastras or Dharma-shustras. The colonial administration had to study Indian law to fulfill its duties. But for European people it was hard to understand its key concept – dharma. Dharma is a very complicated concept, that demonstrates high level of philosophic and legal thought. The indian vedic priests affirmed, that Vedas contain the whole vedic law and can not be changed. That is why the legal custom and law doctrine developed in India. This peculiarity is common for Vedic law and Islamic law. Islam appeared thousands years after Vedas were written. One of the founders of Islamic Law descended from vedic culture. So the author makes the conclusion, that Islamic Law borrowed its concept of interpretation of sacred texts from vedic culture. In XIX century linguistical studies of European scientists revealed the unexpected proximity of Indian and European languages and cultures. So scientists invented the term "indo-european". But historical science ignored the results of linguistical studies and localized vedical culture only in India. Linguistical, archeological and written data show, that vedic culture, believes and law dominated on the territory of Ukraine for many thousands of years. Rus people (now called the Ukrainians) worshiped vedic gods and had their own Vedas. But Vedas were stolen by Ortodox Christian Church. This history is known thanks to "The Book of Veles", written by Rus (Ukrainian) vedic priests in IX century. Modern Ukrainian linguists show the parallels between sanscrit, hindi and Ukrainian words about state and law. In XIX century many monuments with inscriptions were found in Crimea, that revealed the vedic origins of Europe. Most of them were taken by Russians and Englishmen and now are kept in Russian and British museums. One of them directly indicates on usage of Dharma-shastras in Crimea in III century A.D. The Vedas is the most ancient source of Ukrainian law. It is the basis of its development.

The Vedas are ancient holy texts from India that can be characterized as the allencompassing repository of Hindu knowledge from eons past. The Urdhva-tiryagbhyam sutra, or algorithm, has similarities to the FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) method that is used in algebra to multiply two binomials. We first illustrate this sutra with examples. Then we focus on similarities between Urdhva-tiryagbhyam and the standard multiplication algorithm, justifications for it, and student projects that relate to this algorithm.

Brahma, the Creator, revealed the four Vedas, the last of which was the Sama Veda —dealing with music.Vedic hymns were ritualistic chants of invocation to different nature gods. It is not strange therefore to find the beginnings of Hindu music associated with Gods and Goddesses. The mythological heaven of Indra, God of Rain, was inhabited by Gandharvas (singers), Apsaras (female dancers) and Kinnaras (instrumentalists). Saraswati, Goddess of Music and Learning, is represented as seated on a white lotus playing on the Veena. The great sage Narada first brought the art to earth and taught it to men.

This study focuses on the Vedas, considering the earliest literary record of Hindu philosophy, a number of concepts related to science are found embedded in the Vedic texts, and there are many its educational implications for Nepal. The Veda is the original scripture containing spiritual as well as scientific knowledge encompassing all aspects of human life. The main aim of this study is to find out the certain concepts of science in Vedic scripture and see their educational implications. The scientific notion embedded in the Veda has been searched with a hermeneutic approach from Vedic hymns and commentaries. The ancient seers had recognised the scientific value of natural forces and they commended them as deities. Beyond this, they have formulated the universal law of heavenly forces and human beings. Moreover, the Veda is accepted as the most ancient and sacred text that has been guiding not only the cultural, religious and spiritual lives of Hindu people but also their thinking, inquiry and wisdom, encouraging its readers for social harmony, balance and multiplicity. And therefore, we recommend scientific ideas from the Vedic texts should be incorporated in the school curriculum of Nepal.

Jawaharlal Nehru was most instrumental in instilling scientific temper at the birth of modern India. In contrast, as Bharatiya Janata Party came into power in 2014, their top-down governance is explicitly trying to promote Vedic science. The Prime Minister boasted off of genetics in Mahabharata, and plastic surgery in the Vedas. The origin of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle form the Vedas is the pride of the Home Minister. The Minister of Science and Technology contended that the Vedas contain better theory than E = mc2. There is increased veneration of cattle. A large-scale promotion of bovine urine and dung as medicine, called cowpathy or, as they embrace it, panchagavya is on the rise. To that effect, gold was discovered in the urine of Gir cows, but really to no effect. Their cows breathe in and out oxygen, and peafowl are confirmed celibates. The Minister of State for Human Resources Development ridiculed evolutionary biology proclaiming that Darwin’s theory is scientifically flawed. We, the people of India, deserve better wisdom. As Nehru would have put it, “a baseless dogma or a hopeless aspiration” of this sort will never elate India, or any nation for that matter, to scientific progression, not to say economic and social developments.

In the Veda’s natural elements play a pivot role but the international ship of creation was always within the context of its relationship with the creator. The Vedic sages believed that everything in this world stems from divine knowledge (the world) which was first revealed to the group of seers, who then passed this knowledge to successive generations of Vedic seers. The Gala-hypothesis postulates that planet earth is a living organism that adjusts and regulates itself like any other organism, and that for 3.5 billion years, microbes, plant and animals have co-evolved with the environment as one globally integrated super organism. In much the same vein, Deep ecology believes in the essential ecological equality of all species man and mouse, elephant and earthworm. In an interconnected indivisible ecosystem each part is as crucial as the next. The Vedas have categorically explains the role of nature, principle of food, life, intellect, and immortality. Earth, constellations and their roles are also defined in the Vedas. For sun and moon are celestial god air, water and sky, are aerial gods. Earth, river and fire are the terrestrial god. The universe is composed of five elements earth, sky, water, wind and fire. Vedic science urges people to pursue the path of ethical and sustainable economy, which coincides with the philosophy of ecological economics for sustainable development. The conventional economics always favours maximizing the material wealth so that individual will have a better quality of life. In the Vedic tradition, it is clearly stated that the life of each species is meant for well-being of all other species all of the 8,40,000 species on the planet live for each other except for one.

Os Upaniṣads são parte integrante fundamental dos textos sagrados hindus, conhecidos como Vedas. De acordo com a tradição, os Vedas comportam uma divisão dupla em termos de funcionalidade, operacionalidade e teleologia: karmakhāṇḍa, i.e., “a seção relativa à ação”; jñānakhāṇḍa, i.e., “a seção relativa ao conhecimento”. Esta última compreende fundamentalmente os textos dos Upaniṣads que lançam mão, no contexto hermenêutico da escola filosófica do Vedānta, de uma articulação argumentativa que visa a um duplo propósito: (i) mostrar que a experiência da multiplicidade, enquanto desdobramento reificado da dualidade primária sujeito-objeto, está necessariamente fundada numa ignorância (avidyā) que é ela mesma existencialmente constitutiva; (ii) e promover a eliminação dessa ignorância e a consequente realização da unicidade/união fundamental que subjaz a essa dualidade, enquanto condição ontológica de toda e qualquer experiência.

Full textAbstract:
The Vedas are said to be not a human creation (apauruṣeya), but Revelation imparted to the Vedic sages who have put it down in inspired verses. Vedas’ words are therefore divine and eternal, and thus extensively praised. Vāc, the Vedic word, is eulogised in several hymns, among which Vāk Sūkta (X.125) is by far the most illustrative of all. In some teachings of the Upanishads, Vāc is equated to Brahman alongside other interpretations. When analysing the nature of the word, centuries later, philosophers and grammarians refer to it as śabda, and no longer as Vāc, the latter remains somehow confined to a rather poetical and mystical reality. Yet, the idea of the eternal and divine character of the scriptures is superimposed on the Sanskrit language also, despite certain historical change remarks on the grammarians' side. In the 5th century CE, Bhartṛhari displays a genuine linguistic and philosophical thought of the folding and unfolding of Reality and its understanding as Word-Principle (brahman śabda-tattva). From an auxiliary science of preserving the correct forms of the Vedas, Sanskrit grammar acquires a hermeneutical role and empowers itself as a way to salvation, an idea supported by previous evidence of grammar's role in producing celestial happiness (abhyudaya), merit and righteousness (dharma). I seek in this paper to analyse and point out the strongholds that underpin Sanskrit as a divine language and how continuity and change coexist to support over millennia this undaunted approach.
