Quest to realize truth in human life
Vedic tips for pregnant ladies by Swami Ramswarup
Comments on translations by Piyush Trivedi
Questions and Answers
K D Gupta: People are keen to know truth in life but Gita says it is not truth [satya ] but satva which matters. What is the reference and fact after death may be a human or for any creature?
Swami Ramswarup: Yes, human life is meant to realise the truth, that is why, Almighty God has blessed us with the knowledge of four Vedas, to follow. The truth means to realise the matter which is immortal i.e., everlasting. Three matters are immortal-(i) Almighty God (ii) Souls (iii) Prakriti. The aspirant who study Vedas and follow the preach mentioned therein, that is, performs daily havan with Ved mantras, name jaap and practice of Ashtang Yoga Philosophy under the guidance of an experienced acharya, then he achieves the goal. Geeta is a Vedic preach. So Geeta can never go against the Vedas. I would advise you to study Geeta in Hindi. The description of 1-6 chapters in brief of the Bhagwad Geeta Granth has also been written by me , I have tried to explain the Vedic theory used in Bhagwad Geeta by Yogeshwar Sri Krishna Maharaj ji . The book contains 739 pages worth Rs.400/- excluding postal charges. You can study the above Geeta to know the Vedic/eternal truth. The book can be sent to you on receipt of your postal address if you so desire, please. Please also read the article 'After Death'.
Lubna: Is there any concept of second marriage or divorce in Vedas?
Swami Ramswarup: Nowadays divorce must be avoided. Vedas tell about divorce when lady or husband are corrupt, of bad character and not fit to live in society, then only either lady or the man can do second marriage if they are young and wish to obtain children. Otherwise second marriage is not needed.
Arya: Is it true that we don't have to perform any rituals after cremation ? My uncle died this month. My son is in his third year and his mundan is to be done. Please guide me what should I do?
Swami Ramswarup: After 13 days of the death you can perform the holy mundan ceremony of your son please. Yajurveda mantra 40/15 states that even after cremation there is no custom left to perform about death. Havan must be performed even daily and specially when death occurs. The havan must be performed to purify the atmosphere.
P R: I have a son of 11 months. I have been told that he might be harmful of any member in my family. What can I do?
Swami Ramswarup: We all souls are born and given bodies by God on the basis of our deeds. The result of good deeds is good birth and bad deeds is bad birth respectively. God has given knowledge in Vedas that if have good company and develop holy thoughts from very thoughts, and follow Brahamcharya, alongwith studies, and do regular Yajyen, etc. worship of God, which is the duty of human beings, then the result of bad deeds that is slated to come in life is destroyed and we will not bear sorrow that is the result of previous bad deeds. That is why, if you raise your son in good environment and with good education then your son will have good qualities, will work hard and will become great after doing his studies. On the other hand in case he is in bad company then he can become bad as well. So, good and bad is just in your hand, you give him good education. You should also do good deeds and take your son on the right path.
Nikki: I am from Brahmin family by caste. We had an atheist in our family who encouraged us all to consume non-vegetarian food. As a result, a lot of people in my family are non-believers and take alcohol and non-vegetarian food. We are all facing serious health problems. Will pitr dan help?
Swami Ramswarup: Present astrology is not mentioned in Vedas. So being unauthentic, learned persons do not accept it. Yajurveda chapter 39 states that soul when is separated from body remains in sushupt stage that is in unconscious stage. When soul resides in human body, he takes food from mouth, sees from eyes , hears from ears that is soul does actions with the help of five perceptions, five senses and mind. So without mouth soul cannot take food. Soul after thirteen days takes new birth and enters into the mother’s womb and starts taking feed from mother’s body. So what will be the use of Pind dan? Who will take the pind dan without mouth etc., and how can the soul be ghost even? Actually pind dan and ghost subject has also not been mentioned in Vedas, so are unauthentic and are not to be accepted. However, non-vegetarian and addiction etc ., are strictly prohibited in Vedas and eternal Indian culture . Nobody can take non-vegetarian without killing living being, which is a sin. So, everybody must leave non-vegetarian immediately.
Yes , the frequent sickness may also be due to one treason of taking non-vegetarian food but also due to previous lives’ deeds, sorrows/sickness etc., come and we have to face. So, we must always worship God for purification and for burning our previous lives’ sins to achieve a long, happy life. if you know Hindi, some spiritual books written by me can be sent on receipt of your postal address if you so desire.
Secondly, medical advice must soon be taken about diseases. Every one must do long, morning walk. Must learn Yoga san, Prannayam and must take plenty of water daily. Fatty/fried food must always be avoided.
Abha: Swamiji, is it essential to keep baby's name as per the rashi alphabet?
Swami Ramswarup: Any name can be given but it must have some pious meaning, that is why our ancient rishis- munis and nowadays learned of Vedas as well perform naamkaran sanskar (name ceremony). It is performed after hundred and one days of birth of a baby. In this pious function Yajyen with Ved mantras is performed and newly born baby is blessed with a Vedic name.
H: No question.
Swami Ramswarup: There are few who have no question/problem in the life, please.
Pramod Nair: What mantra can give a balance in life or can give me peace of mind?
Swami Ramswarup: There is no doubt that an aspirant must go to an experienced acharya who knows Vedas and yoga philosophy, practically for Gayatri mantra deeksha and name jaap of God, i.e., OM properly. Till you go to the acharya, please chant OM, both times a day, sitting on any asan especially Siddhasan and do havan daily both times with Gayatri mantra. One should never be lazy in the life, so discharge your moral duties happily and do hard work for the same.
Anonymous: I want to ask that if I do havan in small miti ka bratan is it OK and can I used cow's chena in havan is it OK? And can I make them hot on gas than put rice or havan samgri in that?
Swami Ramswarup: Better if you do havan in havan kund, properly. Havan kund is made especially for the performance of havan but the pot made of clay is not so good as havan kund. In havan, ghee made of cow’s milk is most beneficial. In the absence of which any ghee may be used. However, in addition pure cow chena (butter, paneer etc.) may also be used. No please, it is not a procedure to perform havan by first making it hot on gas and then putting rice etc. Samidhayen (twigs of wood) are essential to be used to burn the pious fire in which aahutis are offered.
Hemant: I get worried most of the times due to unknown thoughts of my future and random thoughts of my environment. What should I do to have a peaceful future?
Swami Ramswarup: Future is based on present pious deeds. If anyone wants to make his future bright, he is required to do hardworking, pious deeds to maintain honesty, firm decision and daily worship of God. Yajurveda mantra 7/48 states that human being are free to do pious deeds or sins but result is awarded by God in the shape of pleasure, long, happy life and sorrows respectively. So why to worry about the future and why not we must be worried about our present pious deeds which will make our future bright. It is a fundamental law of Vedas that present pious deeds even and eternal worship of God based on Vedas also destroys the result of previous lives sins which have to be borne in our future or present life. So the energy of thinking of baseless thoughts and worry for future must not be wasted, instead we must do pious deeds in our present time.
Kalpana: I have a question for you that which religion is a truth? I mean every religion said same thing than why religion has many differences? And which religion come first?
Swami Ramswarup: Eternal religion is actually a true religion. Now there is a problem to prove that which one is the eternal religion. Eternal religion is made by God Himself and not by human being.
In Vedas religion and the truth, both the words are the name of one power. To understand and follow the rules i.e., preach of Vedas by human-beings is called eternal religion.
The four signs of religion are:-
(1) To understand the orders/instructions of God given in Vedas and to work accordingly. Just as is stated in Ramayan- Shruti Path Palak i.e., Sri Ram along with his subjects adopted the path of Vedas.
(2) To understand the nationalism that is, moral obligations towards the nation. For example- Sri Ram. Sri Krishna, Dashrath, Harishchandra etc., dignitaries served their subjects and efficiently fulfilled their national duties.
(3) Virtues that is, to conduct oneself according to righteousness , religion and morality but not to be fundamentalists or conservatives to hinder the progress of nation.
(4) To understand others same as one’s own soul that is, we should think about welfare of others just as we think about our own welfare and should take interest in traditional, eternal spiritualism.
In Vedas, religion and truth are synonymous to each other. So to know the eternal religion one will have to study the eternal knowledge of Vedas, which emanate direct from Almighty God at the time of beginning of the earth. Please read the article on Vedas for more information.
D: What is the proof that Vedas are correct?
Swami Ramswarup: There are two types of proofs. One - four Vedas and second the holy granths/preach given by Rishis-munis who know Vedas’ philosophy. The said fact has been mentioned in Yajurveda mantra 31/7, Rigveda mantra 10/181/1 and Sankhya Shastra Sutra 1/66.
However, the said facts are only known in experience when aspirant makes contact with an acharya and devotes a long period to listen the eternal preach of Vedas along with discussion. So it is an easy task to state that “what is the proof that Vedas are correct and Vedas are original.” But to devote time under the pious feet of an acharya to listen Vedas is generally impossible. Please tell him to come to me with a thirst to know about the fact of eternal knowledge of Vedas even for a month. Here, boarding and lodging is always free for all devotees.
You see, please that Vedas are the most ancient holy granths of the world and Vedas have never been written by any Rishi-muni or person, man-woman. Vedas have no writer whereas every holy granth has its writer etc. Vedas do not even contain any story unlike other granths. Necessity is only to listen the Vedas then automatically all doubt gets over.
The knowledge of four Vedas traditionally used to be remembered by heart and process right from satyug is still in vogue. Before 5,300 years Vyas muni too heard the Vedas from his Acharya and remembered. He then first time made up his mind to write Vedas on Bhojpatra. Vedas are in devine sanskrit which is easy to understand under the guidance of Acharya. Those who say that Vedas language is hard, difficult etc., and if Vedas are utterd with wrong pronunciation, It will be harmful, all that is false. You know, on one side such gurus tell that Bhakti can be done by an ignorant and sinner also then why not Vedas be listened from an Acharya by all public(men or women).
Actually Vedas themselves tell that everyone is entitled to listen and get the knowledge of Vedas for a long, happy life. Mostly such gurus mug up number of sanskrit shlokas etc., and orate before innocent public just to impress them or to show themselves that they (so called gurus) are learned of Vedas etc., and surprisingly they utter at the same moment that Vedas are difficult. Donot do Yajyen otherwise you will be sinful etc. Then people can listen their sanskrit shlokas without knowing the meaning thereof then why cannot people listen Vedas and do Yajyen under guidance of learned Acharya. Listening is not difficult. To study Vedas can sometimes be considered difficult but listening of Vedas from an Acharya cannot be told as difficult. An Acharya will explain the ved mantras in simple hindi or English. So how can Vedas’ be told to be difficult. Public must be alert and listen to Vedas. Otherwise so called gurus will be telling them the wrong meaning of Ved mantras, etc.
Anonymous: You say that one has to work ahrd for earning money. Suppose I have a shop and I do hard work, and still don't get business then what do you do? Do people get better business by havan or devi devta pooja or nimbo mirch?
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. Fundamental law of nature can never be changed, please. So, when there is no existence of worship of Devi-Devtas (idol worship etc) then how can anyone get benefit from them? Pleasure/pain are always the result of our previous lives’ deeds-sins or pious deeds respectively.
Suppose one is doing hawan, Gayatri jaap, name jaap of Om based on the eternal philosophy of Vedas and when the person becomes able to get the good result thereof he then leaves the said worship and starts Devi-Devtas bhakti etc. So naturally, he will be benefitted keeping in view the result of Vedic worship and not Devi-devtas’ bhakti but it is a problem, how will he know it because his Vedic worship was also continued in doubtful circumstances because of which he pursued Devi-Devtas’ bhakti as well simultaneously.
So, it is very difficult task to make him understand that from which bhakti has he got the good result or besides the bhakti what pious deeds of his previous life has awarded him good result.
I mean to say that under no circumstances, idol worship can be accepted, being against the eternal knowledge of Vedas and Vedas are ever above any kind of doubt because the knowledge of Vedas emanates direct from God.
You see, please that Vedas are the most ancient holy granths of the world and Vedas have never been written by any Rishi-muni or person, man-woman. Vedas have no writer whereas every holy granth has its writer etc. Vedas do not even contain any story unlike other granths. Necessity is only to listen the Vedas then automatically all doubt gets over.
Ankush Gupta: Please bless people in Jammu to maintain peace and harmony in the city.
Swami Ramswarup: I pray to God and bless to the public of J&K to get immediate solution and establish peace there soon.
A A: In pregnancy should a couple follow Brahmcharya?
Swami Ramswarup: Yes, in pregnancy couple must start to maintain their brahamcharya from the date of pregnancy and till the baby leaves to take mother’s milk. If possible, you must also study “Brahamcharya Dukh Nivarak Divya Manni” holy book in Hindi written by me in which every aspect of observing Brahamcharya has been briefed well.
Seema Dhawan: How to get progress in career?
Swami Ramswarup: Firm decision, hard working, honesty and daily worship of God will give progress in career. For the same, it is necessary to wake up early in the morning for long morning walk and light exercise. Hawan must be done daily to pray God as well to give blessings to award success at every step of our life. Always do pious deeds. God helps those who are hard working, honest, God fearing. Always avoid bad society.
Dr. Harish Arya: Where is it written in vedas that to marry with relatives is sin?
Swami Ramswarup: According to Rigveda Mantra 10/85/21 marriage should always be solemnized with girl from different gotra. Manusmriti Shloka 3/5 states that the girl who is away from the six generations of parents is only to be married.
D K: I am using astrology to find a partner. Is there something wrong in the approach?
Swami Ramswarup: Present astrology is not mentioned in Vedas so learned persons do not accept it being unauthentic. Yajurveda mantra 7/48 clearly states that human beings are free to do good or bad deeds but result is awarded by Almighty God in the shape of happiness and sorrows respectively. So, what astrology will do in this regard? Can astrology cancel the Ved mantras which emanate direct from God and enforce its own philosophy? As regards marriage, all this is in the hands of Almighty God but you know that God helps those who help themselves. So you must try and your parents must try their level best to seek a suitable match for you. You must also worship God daily for which chant Gayatri mantra with its meaning in heart and also do hawan with Gayatri mantra daily both times. You must also learn complete process of doing hawan with Ved mantras.
Shankar: I am an engineering college student and want to know more about the influence of Vedas in science and technology. I am a real lover of Indian heritage and Sanskrit.
Swami Ramswarup: Your views are highly appreciated my dear son. To enter the Philosophy of eternal knowledge of Vedas wherein three education are mentioned i.e., knowledge (deep science), form of deeds and third is worship. You must study some Vedic books first. A list of Vedic books is given on the website. As regard Sanskrit, you must start Sanskrit by reading “Sanskrit Swayam Shikshak Book” which will also be sent along with your selected book. If not interested in studying books then Sanskrit Swayam Shikshak Book will only be sent. Eternal Philosophy of Vedas state that Vedas are required to be listened from an acharya first. So you may seek an acharya locally also. You must perform daily Yajyen with Ved mantras which is the best worship of God also. You can also come here, if possible.
Mukesh Bishnoi: In our old epics worship of statue of prohibated then we are follwing the same practice?
Swami Ramswarup: Due to lack of knowledge of Vedas, statue worship has been spread within a span of about 2,500 years. Before this, there was no practice of idol worship.
God's worship is in Vedas which emanate direct from God, wherein idol worship is not mentioned. I have previously quoted several examples that idol worship is not required. For-example you know me and I also know you, we both reside in bodies, being souls and souls are also shapeless. So we know each other, but how? Only on the basis of qualities and not on the basis of statue/photos etc. If you or I will try hard then we can also meet together. This is worldly example even.
So on the basis of the qualities of the God, as mentioned in Vedas, God is known and when an aspirant follows/obeys the path of Vedas i.e., worship, Ashtang yoga practice, listening of Vedas, Yajyen etc., under guidance of an acharya, then he attains samadhi i.e., realizes God too. So, as per Vedas, no need of idol worship.
If someone believes that God is everywhere then why does he avoid wine, smoking, theft, etc., etc. inside the temple and does outside? Actually realization is subject of deep study of Vedas and to observe thereon. Sagunn means with eternal qualities mentioned in Ved mantras because the meaning of Sa+Gunn means ‘with qualities’. So God has unlimited qualities like formless, omnipresent, etc., etc. and nirakar means shapeless. One can not break the rules and regulations of God mentioned in Vedas. Vedas are self-proof and cannot be denied.
Mukesh Bishnoi: Why we are unable to secular on the name of religion and God?
Swami Ramswarup: Due to lack of knowledge of Vedas, we are not being secular on the name of religion and God. Every body must now start the study of Vedas to know the truth about every subject of universe which is clearly mentioned in Vedas by God Himself. In Vedas, deep science, form of deeds, rear eternal worship of God has been briefed. So politics and eternal religion has its eternal, true meaning described in Vedas.
I would advise you to read some of my Vedic books in Hindi and English, if possible. For example with the grace of Almighty God I have written deep commentary on 1 -6 chapters of Bhagwad Geeta, stating the factual position of Yogeshwar Sri Krishna Maharaj and his message of Vedas in Bhagwad Geeta( in Hindi). The book contains 739 pages. Money is not a problem but problem is to destroy the illusion. So if you cannot send the price of the book and can only send postal charges then only book can be sent free of cost with the condition that book will be read thoroughly and you will send your comments within two months.
Mukesh Bishnoi: Why there is no any method or practice like in Muslims of Jamat followed in Hindus to spread the knowledge for their religion?
Swami Ramswarup: Hindu religion is eternal. It is known to be based on the ancient holy books like Four Vedas , Valmiki Ramayan, Mahabharat (only 10,000 authentic shlokas), 6 shastras, Upnishads, Brahmin granth since no other religions existed at that time and even before 2,500 years. But Hindu (Arya/Vedic religion) was before this creation and will remain forever in future too. It has not been created by mankind because knowledge of Vedas always emanates direct from God, at the beginning of every universe. So I think people related to this religion have no desire to extend it because in their nature, they imbibe natural thought that their religion is universally applicable to all human being as before. Had it been originated by any saint then the saint and his followers would have tried to extend it but it is a reality that this religion has an idea of one ness and one ness does not need to extend being the thought of similarity.
Because the pious thought of one ness exists in all human beings. I mean to say that at that time of beginning of creation, knowledge of Vedas emanates directly from God and at that time none of the present sects existed. Hence knowledge of four Vedas extends universally to all human beings and the human beings undivided in sects, were one i.e., not fragmented in caste system etc.
Now, all Hindus, Aryas will have to think to spread the knowledge of Vedas etc., especially the Hindus would’ve to be awakened so that the Hindus do not undergo conversion. Every Hindu must know about Vedas. When it will be done then no Hindu will be converted. It is due to lack of knowledge of Vedas that Hindus are unable to understand about one Almighty God who is formless, Almighty, Omnipresent, Omniscient , creates, nurses and destroys the universe.
Now, the innocent people especially belonging to poor families, who donot know anything about Vedas, have being/are being converted. Had they been knowledgeable about Vedas, nobody could make plan for their conversion. So, we should learn Vedas without wasting anytime and that too while discharging all our moral duties.
Mukesh Bishnoi: Why in Hinduism every one does not follows the rules of worshiping both times?
Swami Ramswarup: Again I will tell you that worship of Almighty God is not being done daily both times only due to lack of knowledge of Vedas. We must know that this firm, steadfast rule to worship God by performing Yajyen, practising Ashtang Yoga and name jaap etc., has only been mentioned in Vedas otherwise it is mostly preached that you can worship once a week or you can remember the God for a while, then discharge your daily routine for whole time, etc.
Anonymous: I have a daily routine which involves asan, pranayam, studies, exercise, havan and household work. How much time should I spend in asan, pranayam, etc.? I am a student.
Swami Ramswarup: Only 8-10 asans are sufficient devoting 1 ½ minutes for each asan. It means 15 minutes are sufficient. Prannayam, at this young age requires 10 minutes only. Meditation is sufficient for 45 minutes. Cycling and jogging must be given 20-20 minutes each because a student always requires good health which in turn depends on light exercise to be done daily. Then, after taking rest for about 20 minutes in which you can do study etc., bath must be taken. Then hawan, prayer etc., would require about 1/2 an hour. So, all the activities would be completed by about say 8 ‘O’ clock in the morning. You can start study if time suits you keeping in view, the college time.
Anonymous: I have tried my best to avoid a divorce but its still happening. My parents are very old and I need to take care of them as well. Her family is spoiling everything. I have to beg her to come back everytime. I am doubting my worship.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you, please also convey my blessing to your parents. I appreciate your pious desire to serve your parents. Vedas tell to serve mother, father, learned acharya, elders first then a person becomes able to worship the God. Even the services towards the said dignitaries is also a part of worship of God. So first you must look after your parents whole heartedly, please. As regards your wife, I do not know your correct situation but still I will advise you to avoid the divorce. I even do not know whether you have children or not. So you must avoid divorce. If it is not possible then explain your full situation if possible. No doubt, the parents of your wife are not doing good, they are spoiling their daughter’s future. I am not able to understand why you beg for before your wife, this course of your action inspires your wife to go against you. At this stage, you must maintain brahamcharya for further 2 years and be separate from her even while living with her. You must gather physical and mental strength to face the situation happily.
Secondly, the worship of God in the shape of hawan, meditation, practice of Yoga philosophy is a separate issue. Nobody must link it with any kind of problem of the world. Did Ram, who lived in jungle for 14 years and his wife was abducted by Ravanna, doubted the worship of God? Or did Sita ever doubt the worship of God?
So is the case of Pandavas, who also spent their time in jungle. Arjun’s son Abhimanyu and thereafter five sons of Draupadi were killed but they raised no doubt on God.
Nowadays, mostly people are in the habit of blaming God if their desires are not fulfilled. On one hand, it is said that all the pious deeds/worship must be performed selflessly. Worship of God minimizes and at one stage destroys all sins of past lives and people get peace but until and unless the deeds are not burnt, the deeds will have to be faced. The worship should always be done selflessly, then it would give the best result one day, we are being blessed by God with the human body for discharging moral duties as well as performing Yajyen/worship daily and not for blaming God at any cost.
We must know that God is Almighty, Omnipresent and Omniscient . He knows each and every person along with each and every deed of a person whether good or pious. He is supreme judge and therefore awards the result of our deeds only. He can never do injustice since it is not in His nature. A person must never be atheist.
K D Gupta: After much studying, I have come to following conclusion: Vedas are seed, Geeta is tree and Ramcharitramanas is fruit. Please guide me.
Swami Ramswarup: Sorry to say that I have a doubt that you have studied Vedas, otherwise you could never give the conclusion as stated in your question. Secondly, the thought/idea from, you have obtained, the person has also never studied Vedas, if you would even see the first page of Tulsikrit Ramayan then you would see the Sanskrit shloka that Tulsi had stated that he studied Vedas first then wrote Ramayan.
Similarly Yogeshwar Sri Krishna Maharaj , first studied Vedas with his friend Sudama in the ashram of Rishi Sandeepan then he preached Bhagwad Geeta . So Bhagwad Geeta is also a Vedic preach. I have written description on Bhagwad Geeta of 1 -6 chapters stating the facts of Vedas. The book contains 739 pages. The book may be studied by you as well if you desire.
Vedas contain three main subjects – knowledge of all universal matters, i.e., deep science, form of deeds, and eternal worship of God . Knowledge of Vedas emanates direct form God whereas. The other holy books have been written either by Rishi-munis or saints etc. So there is a vast difference between Vedas and the holy books. As stated by Yogeshwar Sri Krishna Maharaj in Shloka 3/15, that philosophy of all the deeds originates from Vedas and the Vedas emanates direct from God. Similarly, Manu smriti shloka 2/6 clarifies that the Vedas are the roots of all deeds. So, how the said facts of Bhagwad Geeta and Manusmriti can be oversighted? Yog shastra Sutra 1/7 states Vedas are self proof. So, any view which is against the Vedas, is considered unauthentic by the ancient as well as present learned acharyas.
The saints etc., who do not know the Vedas may say anything, being ignorant. But the fact is stated above. we must know that if Vedas are seed then Geeta cannot be considered tree or buddhi. Similarly, Ramcharitmanas can never be accepted as fruit (Bhakti) stating that Vedas are seed. The said views are totally against the Vedas , please.
Question arises why? You see, Vedas emanate direct from God. God is formless , omnipresent , omniscient i.e., ever away from facing any kind of deed or suffer death etc., because He is immortal. Now see, Vedas emanate direct from Almighty God who is immortal so naturally Vedas are immortal. Vedas are therefore eternal like God and have not been written by anyone whereas Geeta is a collection of eighteen chapters of Bheeshma Parv of Mahabharat written byVyasmuniji before about 5,300 years ago. Similarly, Ramayan has been written by TulsiDasji before about 325 years ago. Whereas Vedas are eternal , knowledge of Vedas was before the creation, remains at present and will also remain forever in future but the said holy books, yes which contain the knowledge even, have been written on a fixed date and will never be seen in next creation. However, Vedas will remain forever like God.
So we will have to think deeply that Vedas are everlasting whereas the said holy books will remain only till the final destruction of universe. You see no name of any Rishi-muni or any holy book of previous creation has come in anyone’s notice in this creation. So when we compare the immortal Vedas then we will have to keep any idea in our mind that from the immortal matter, no destructive matter is created. If we consider Vedas, a seed then Ramayan and Bhagwad Geeta which are our adorable holy books cannot be assumed tree or fruit etc., being destructible.
Our ancient and present Rishi-munis including great dignitaries like Sri Ram, Sri Krishna Maharaj, Vyas muniji, Guru Vasishth, Atri Rishi, King Harishchandra etc., studied and followed the Vedas and attained salvation. They did not take birth agaib. So the assumption that Vedas are seeds, Bhagwad Geeta is tree and Buddhi, Ramchritmanas is fruit etc., doesnot suit and therefore is not true, please. We must always study Ramayan and Bhagwad Geeta to gain the Vedas’ knowledge from them. But the assumption like tree, fruits etc., is not true. First we will have to learn Vedas and then only will we be able to know the facts about Bhagwad Geeta and Tulsi Ramayan as their writers did i.e., Vyas muniji who wrote Bhagwad Geeta as stated above, was philosopher of Vedas and Ashtang Yoga Philosophy.
Similarly, Tulsi studied Vedas first and then wrote Ramayan. Then we will have to think over it that a person who is describing Bhagwad Geeta or Tulsi Ramayan and has never studied Vedas traditionally, how would he be able to explain the truth and secret of the Vedas. Whether, a philosophy of the doctor can be understood by a person who has got the degree of M.A. in English or any other subject. certainly not? Because, his subject has never been the subject of medical science. So is the case of Bhagwad Geeta and Tulsi Ramayan.
So, Vedas are eternal. Therefore, from Vedas eternal matter can only be generated and not mortal. Trees and fruits are mortal, that is, they will be destroyed one day when the final destruction of the universe takes place.
Therefore, it is not logical to state that Vedas are seed, Bhagwatgeeta is the tree and Ramchatramanas is the fruit. Instead, Vedas are seed, tree and fruit itself.
K D Gupta: Lingpuran says that Bhagwat Vishnu donated his eye to Bhagwan Shiva. Is it true?
Swami Ramswarup: I have described a lot, above about Vedas and almighty God please. Now your views stated in this query, do not tally with Vedas and therefore are unauthentic please. Because, there is only one formless, omnipresent God who creates, nurses and destroys the universe and He only is to be worshipped . He is formless, so He has no eye, mouth, ear etc. So how can He donate His eye. However, he has given eyes to every human as well as living being but He doesnot have any senses, perceptions and mind, that is why He is Almighty . Almighty means He has all powers and needs no assistance from anyone. For example –if God sees, then he sees without eyes. He does not require eyes.

Gayatri Mantra
Everybody wants peace and happiness. Nobody wants a single sorrow. That is why the soul is bounded with Karma (deeds) theory that whatever the soul wants it
is not necessary that she will get it. It is rightly said that man proposes, God disposes. However the origin of soul in human body is empowered to burn all
the sorrows by virtue of worship the God to get happy, peaceful life and even to attain Salvation. In this pious way Gayatri Mantra is very much beneficial
for human beings.
