Realigning the Moral Compass
In the present day of dynamic changes and condradictions are putting pressures on all of us and all round sufferings there is a need to heed call of the Vedas.
The primary scriptures Vedas – four in numbers – RigVeda, YajurVeda, SamaVeda and AtharvaVeda – the treasure trove of Hindu religion, tradition and culture containing codes of righteous conduct, were taught by God Himself thousands of years ago and have been preserved carefully and handed over to us. They are absolutely essential for building moral integrity and being eternal, the norms are applicable to all persons even to this day and shall do so time immemorially. The study of Vedas is absolutely necessary for everyone, would cleanse the mind and make it pure, help mould character and aid achieve mental equanimity.
The contents in the Vedas have been broadly divided into three branches (Kanda); namely, path of action (Karma), knowledge (Gnana) and devotion (Upasana), following which one can reach the ultimate goal in life.
The Karma prescribed the rites one should do and explains how by observing them, material tendencies can be wiped out. Their performance will bring prosperity not only for individual but the entire universe. Rites should be observed with interest, commitment, devotion and avidity, anticipating absolutely no reward. Charity (Gupt Daan) should be given liberally and without any mental reservations.
