Message of Vedas

by Dr.B.B.Paliwal

The voice of God, the ultimate truth, has been compiled in the Vedas. The Vedas are the perennial storehouse of our ancient Indian culture. Our saints, through the ages after deep thought and study of the cosmic mysteries, have compiled he true knowledge in the Vedas. Devoting their entire lives in the search of these deep mysteries, they strengthened the foundations of Indian traditions, culture and manners.

Many scholars of the world have also studied these deep mysteries and developed their respective countries. Whatever be the field-say medicine, diagnosis or treatment. Cosmogony or astronomy or literature-they have derived full advantage from the ascetic practice of the Indian Rishis, and are adopting it even today. Scholars of various countries are studying them and moving forward or progressing.

In brief, the Vedas are that storehouse of knowledge which, if a man enters to study, he will emerge with the knowledge of Brahma, bringing about his own salvation as well as of others. Keeping this in view, we have tried to present the knowledge of the Vedas in simple diction and style. It is expected that the book will prove educative, interesting and useful to the readers.
