Vedas’ Philosophy

God has made universe and blessed us human body to do pious deeds only. He has not made any heaven or hell. All have to face the result of their deeds, good or bad here only, even by taking rebirth. (Rigveda mantra 10/135/1,2)

God has not only made universe but has also given knowledge of four Vedas where answers to your and everyone’s questions have been given. There are four Vedas:

1. Rig Veda - gives knowledge of science, matter of the universe like sun, moon, air body etc., etc.

2. Yajurveda - gives knowledge of all the deeds and duties to be performed by men or women, students, leaders, king, agriculturist etc., etc., etc.

3 Samveda - gives knowledge how to worship God who gives peace and long happy life etc. In this way, details of Yoga philosophy, qualities, supreme deeds and nature of the God are also given.

4 Atharvaveda - gives details of God, medical science and details of medicine etc.

Amit Patel: When the Vedas are written and by whom it was written and who was the first listioner of Vedas?
Swami Ramswarup: Vedas are not written by anyone. It is the divine knowledge that emanates direct from God. In this regard, I paste my article below:-

Anonymous: Namaste swamiji .... kya kismat (destiny) hoti hai ? kya kismat pehle se hi likh di jaati hai?....agar kismat pehle se hi likhi hoti hai toh insaan apne circumstances nahi badal sakta , chahe woh kitni bhi koshish kar le?... fir itni mehnat karne ka kya fayda ? hum kya kare jisse humara vartmaan janam aur agla janam swarg jaisa ho ?
Swami Ramswarup: Namasteji. In this connection, I paste my article below:-
Three types of Deeds

There are three types of deeds (karmas) - sanchit, prarabhadh and kriyamann. Suppose one soul has to take birth (body). It means he has to face total number of deeds of his all previous lives and these deeds are called sanchit karmas but sanchit deeds are huge/unlimited and cannot be faced in one life. So the karmas which can be faced in one life are called prarabhadh (luck-destiny). So God has not made our luck at His own but Almighty God has taken the deeds which we have already done.

Yajurveda mantra 7/48 clarifies that human being is free to do any deed good or bad but God only awards the result. Now the balance deeds from sanchit deeds will be counted in the next life. Now the deeds which we do in our day today present life are called kriyamann.

S B: How to maintain brahmcharya while sleeping?
Swami Ramswarup: In this regard, I would first advise you to read My book“ Brahamcharya- Dukh Nivarak Divya Manni” (in Hindi) worth Rs. 100/- excluding postal charges, which shall clarify all your doubts regarding the topic. Yet, if you have any query, you may ask again. Book can be sent to you, on receipt of your postal address, if you so desire.

Navin: Pujya Swami Ramswarupji, Jai shree krishna and pranam. Every living being has ICHHA or wish in life and several ichha generates in each seconds, we know maya is the mother of all ichha, These ichha is based on purva janam and when fulfilles we call punya karma time or bhagya so to fullfill ichha we must have punya karma of last birth as bhagya and to support we must have pursarth and tapaysia now pursarth and tapaysia may not be of last birth it is earning of this birth only, again to help fulfillment of ichha we must has prakruti as satva, rajesh and tamas. In other words, we must has punya karma as bhagya, and our bhagya will be supported by pursarth, tapasya, satva, rajesh and tamas to make ourselves what? In other word karma is the life line for any living creature? In short I wish to full my ichha so what the norms, some of them i have given just to know more from your side, please reply me detail.

Kaushik: Namaskaram, I will like to come to Ved Mandir for this great knowledge of Vedas. Please also send me two books on Brahmcharya.
Swami Ramswarup: Namaskarji. The book has since been sent to you, please and you are always welcome here.

Anonymous: Prabhu ji aapke charno m mera shat-shat pranam. Last year i m unable to clear my one exam of graduation of 2nd year due to my mother's illness so it became acase of compartment, so this year i gave the exam with full prepration but secured only 20 out of 158 which i had never expected . what should i do now i can't understand.Although every year university gives a golden chance as last one but i m not sure about this time.If i doesn't get that chance my three years will be wasted & then everything go in vain,my future ,my parents dream.Please,guruji show me the path.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. One should never be nervous in life. Instead, should try, try, try again to get success. So, please contact the university, if it may be possible to avail the chance by you. Also, please try to do daily hawan with Gayatri mantra. In the end of hawan, pray to God to give you success. You know, the obstacles of life are always destroyed by worshipping God only and simultaneously by doing hard work.

J: Pranam Guruji, I am doing Gayatri mantra jap daily in the morning. However one of the bead in the mala is broken. Is it inauspicious to use such mala? Please advice.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. In this regard, I paste my answer.

Significance of number of chants in mantra chanting

No please, there is no any significance of numbers. It is according to time which suits a person. It may be hundred or more even. It is not necessary that before Gayatri no mantra can be chanted. Every Ved mantra, however, is started from the holy name of God i.e., Om. And it is also better if we praise, worship and pray God reciting Gayatri mantra before chanting Ved mantra. It has been tradition of our ancient rishis munis also.

So, mala has no concern with Vedic worship.

Surrender: Sir I want to know that various people are habitual of alcoholic or drinking. Sir how we can stop them? We have made our best efforts but failed. Please response sir

Prakash: It is a medical observation that the heart transplanted persons' likings of things change from the previos ones'. Suppose heart is not exchanged then what happens to his remaining Karmas. Further the body is kept alive with a heart pump and without the Atma in heart ? It should be dead, without atma! Does it means the Atma keeps on hanging around the body and awaits for the new heart without Atma? Why can we not presume that the atma Lives in evey cell of the body and also in heart aswell ! Pranam Swamiji.
Swami Ramswarup: The result of all karmas is experienced by soul through human body and not by heart or any body part. So, change of heart makes no difference because heart is meant to make the body function well.

Atma does not live in every cell of body. Only God pervades every cell of body. In the true Vedic culture, guess or presumption has no significance. Everything requires Vedic proof.

My blessings to you.

Praksh Bajpai: When I ask, why are we called Hindus as a religion then I mean what are our Fundamental Beliefs? and certainly on those beliefs we shoul call ourselves Hindus and actually Sanatan Dharmi. Please elaborate....... Pranam Swamiji. Prakash Bajpai.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. Fundamental beliefs of Hindus are as follows:-
(i) Belief in eternal Philosophy of Vedas.
(ii) Belief in Valmiki Ramayan, Tulsikrit Ramayan
(iii) Belief in Six shastras, Upnishads and other ancient Sanskrit granths written by Rishis.

As, I have already informed you that we all were called arya originally i.e., right from the beginning of the earth and we only believed in Vedic culture uptil mahabharat war i.e., about five thousand years ago.

REASON NOT TO FOLLOW

Anonymous: Pranam Swamiji.With a deep heart, I request you to show me the right path and guide me. I have been a materialistic person all my life,always wanting to have good job, money, car and people around me. However,I got married 2yrs ago,against my wish.My father,who has a good name in his circle,is known for his knowledge,helpful nature and advises. However, he forced me to get married. Reason was he wanted to free himself of all the responsibilities. I have an elder sister. My mother and father, have always loved her more than me and after her marriage, my brother in law won their hearts and started controlling my life. I feel miserable.My father even kicked me out of the house,upon my brother in laws advise. Things become obvious when they visit us. My marriage is on the verge of breaking, as I loved someone else. I even told the girl and her and my parents before marriage, but I was emotionally blackmailed to marry,with my mother, father, girl everyone threatening to commit suicide. Swamiji,my question is if God really exist, why dont they see my pain? I surrendered to my fate, for everyone's happiness,and today, I'm myself not happy. I have even tried to commit suicide, but could not after thinking about my parents. I have now renounced all wordly desires. I feel nothing is mine,everything was God's,and now He has taken everything from me.

Anonymous: I was married 7 years back and I have no children. Due to this there is lot of frustration in my life. I want to know when will this problem be solved.I have consulted many doctors but getting no positive results. They are terming it as unexplained infertility.
Swami Ramswarup: I am sorry to listen about your problem, my daughter. Yet, you should be brave. If you are in India, then I would advise you to get your medically checked in All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi or in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Rajinder Nagar, New Delhi. I hope, some solution may come out.

Please, try to do name-jaap of God- Om, daily both times. I also paste my article for your help below-

GAYATRI MANTRA

Please, start the day by chanting Gayatri mantra in the early morning sitting on suitable asan like Sukhasan, Siddhasan or Padmasan etc. concentrate on the point between two eyebrows which is called “Agyachakra”. The Gayatri mantra should be chanted along with its meaning both times. Also, please try to perform daily hawan even with Gayatri mantra. Then try to study any of my books daily and put up question if any.

After 15 days chant the Gayatri mantra only thrice thereafter do the name jaap of Almighty God-“Om”. The jaap must be done daily by heart and not orally.

D R: Pranam Swamiji, I had infective disease 3 years back. Today my endoscopy reasults are normal. But I have nausea & heart pain. Also I have mild headache.

Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you.

Yes, please. Every sorrow has concern with previous lives’ deeds. The time of the facing the same is fixed and after expiry of the time, the sorrows automatically are destroyed. However, if a person wants to get rid of the sorrows, he should continue Vedic worship, totally based on the eternal knowledge of Vedas, under guidance of learned acharya of Vedic philosophy. So, you are advised to seek a Vedic acharya to learn daily hawan with ved mantras, process of name jaap of Almighty God- OM and practice of Asan, Prannayam, meditation etc. The said worship will give you peace and would destroy your problems with a good long, happy life.
