Creation Of Vedas...............................A very Good Read.
The Vedas are inseparable from the Supreme Brahman. They embody the entire range of knowledge spanning the sacred and the secular. Their significance lies in the fact that the truths and thoughts they contain are eternal. Nobody invented or created them. The truths have always existed and the human race has received these in the manner of revelations. The Rishis of yore are known as Seers because they saw in their inner eye these profound thoughts that already existed. The method of transfer of knowledge is thus intuitive from the seers who interpreted the truths they discovered.
When the Supreme Brahman decided to create the universe, Brahma was given the portfolio for creation and with it the necessary energy to get ahead in this task. Brahma thus became the recipient of the Vedas which are believed to be the very breath of the Lord. The Vedas are primarily in the form of sound, symbolically and synoptically contained in the primordial sound, the Omkara or Pranava. Hence Veda Sabdhas are sensitive to vibrations and when uttered properly will have the desired effect. Just as medicine fails to be effective if the other dietary restrictions prescribed by the doctor are not followed, the Veda mantras become efficacious only when all other criteria such as spiritual discipline and proper enunciation are followed meticulously. How to utter these mantras is also specified in the Taittiriya Upanishad.
There is reference to the atmosphere, water and other natural resources that have been created for sustaining life on earth. The performance of Vedic rituals, when offerings are made to the celestials, is shown to be beneficial for the sustenance of the universe. The insistence is on sincerity and not on ostentation.
Besides worldly knowledge, the Vedas also offer truths into the nature of the Self that is necessary to gain liberation.
The Vedas have anticipated the possible objections and questions that a rational mind is likely to raise in these esoteric matters and have provided suitable answers as well.
Always Remember.........................
"There is never a wrong time to do a right thing."
