Let Us Study the Vedas
Stuta mays varada vedamata pracodayanta m pa vamanim dvijanam
ayuh pranam prajam paiam kirtim dravinam brahmavarcasam
mahyam dattva vrajata brahmalokam (Atharvaveda
19.71.1)
I glorify (study) the Vedas, which are as benevolent and kind as the mother
could be. The Mother-Veda fulfills all our (noble) desires. She inspires us
to be on the righteous path. She purifies all those who take the second birth
through the true education, i.e. by knowing who they really are — up to
their innermost core. She fulfills all our needs and desires by providing us
with:
1. Long Life Span
2. Vitality and Vigor of the Life
3. Wonderful Obedient Children
4. Domesticated Animals with Ample Milk and Power
5. Name and Fame in the World
6. Wealth and Prosperity, and
7. True Spiritual Knowledge about both Individual Spirit and the Infinite
Spirit.
On death, the Mother-Veda guides us towards
Brahnzaloka
in closest
proximity of that Infinite Spirit who is all-bliss so that we can rejoice forever.
Therefore, every human being without any exception and without any
discrimination based on age, gender, caste, creed, culture, religion,
language, national origin, etc. should come to the lap of the Mother-Veda
(that is, make a serious attempt to study what the Vedas tell us). This will
lead to immense improvement in the present life
(abhudaya)
and thereafter
too
(nareyas).
