“Vedas : Explorations & Experiences” – Episode 3
In this episode Sri. Prabhakar garu is explaining Vedic Heritage and Tradition.
Veda-s knowledge has been attractive to many from times immemorial. Tradition is a flow, it is a long flowing river of knowledge. Veda is knowledge, it is “Sampradaaya/m,” “Pradaana,” it means to give away to people, in a proper manner given to us by ‘Rishis’, or ‘pashyakas.’
Tradition is a track of the knowledge path. When we orient ourselves to the path of knowledge, we can see the panorama of it all.
It leads us to good character and conduct…’seela vrutta phala vidya’… ‘Veda Vidya’ is a continuous flow, a discipline, correcting our character. The knowledge tradition is a supreme path or ‘marga,’ a multifaceted personality, and a lot of benefits are obtained. Vedic tradition always pitches upon Yaj, Yajna – work.
How do we manifest Vedic tradition? Man by birth is ordinary; through mantras and teachings, instructions to mankind, and experience supports to uphold the tradition.
