- God bestowed Vedic knowledge upon four Rishis, who then passed it on to Brahma and subsequently, Brahma disseminated this knowledge to world
KATHUA: During the ongoing 78-day Yagna based on all four Vedas at Ved Mandir, Yol, Swami Ram Swarup Ji Yogacharya delivered an enlightening discourse, explaining the divine origin of Vedic knowledge and the significance of the Guru–Shishya (teacher–disciple) tradition in preserving and spreading this wisdom.
Elaborating on Rigveda Mantra 10/181/1, Swami Ji stated that at the beginning of creation, by the power of God, the knowledge of the four Vedas is originated in the hearts of four ancient Rishis—Agni, Vayu, Aditya, and Angira. He explained that Brahma served the said four Rishis and thus acquired the complete knowledge of all four Vedas from them. Hence, four Rishis were called the Gurus of Brahma. It was through Brahma that the Guru–Shishya tradition began in the world, a tradition that continues to this day, enabling seekers to gain true knowledge of Vedas through proper guidance.
Swami Ji emphasized that knowledge is not attained unless it is given by someone citing the example of Lord Krishna imparting wisdom to Arjuna. He explained that initially, God bestowed Vedic knowledge upon the four Rishis, who then passed it on to Brahma, and subsequently, Brahma disseminated this knowledge to the world through the established tradition of teaching and learning.
Referring further to Rigveda Mantra 1/10/1, Swami Ji highlighted that different seekers worship the one Supreme God in various ways, all rooted in Vedic knowledge. He noted that those skilled in musical rhythms and chants glorify God through the Samaveda, while others recite Vedic mantras in worship. Those who perform Yajnas and are well-versed in all four Vedas lead virtuous lives and inspire future generations to follow the path of righteousness.
Summarizing his discourse, Swami Ram Swarup Ji stated that true worship of God is performed strictly in accordance with the Vedas. He emphasized that the Vedas describe God as unique and incomparable, with no other entity equal to Him. He urged everyone to sing the praises of and worship only the Supreme God as described in the Vedas, reaffirming the timeless relevance of Vedic teachings in guiding humanity towards spiritual enlightenment.
