Why should one know the Veda?
The Veda means “very essential document having authenticity”, a very
essential discourse that affirms everyone for a peaceful disciplined divine
life. Its divinity modulates our life if properly understood. We can divide it
into four parts. The Rig-Veda contains 10552-slokas.The Sam-Veda contains 1875-slokas.
The Yajur-Veda contains 1975-slokas. The Atharva-Veda contains 5977. The total
number of the slokas in the four Vedas are 20379 only. These slokas represent
the then socio- economic and political scenarios through various examples and thus,
inspires the posterity for a happy prosperous life. It teaches about the living
process through tranquillity. Its austerity never denotes any unpleasant situations
rather it authorises the readers for proper understanding of a right living
style. It is a treasure house of law. It has different interpretations of life
to the need of time and exigency. It extracts many things from nature, represents
the energy sources as the Gods and Goddess just to discipline the human life
through love and sacrifices. It reforms the posterity and us, puts everything
in a positive direction. However, one should understand its positive sense
rightly while interpreting its slokas. It purifies our mind and sets it on a
right track. It comes us through different branches of the Vedic literature
like the Upanishads, Vedanta, Vedanga, Aranyaka, Shruti and Smriti. Chhanda is
a special feature of the Vedas throughout its total slokas numbered 20379. Let
us accept and examine it from the core of its existence. It would definitely
strengthen our moral strength to fight against every adversity that comes on
the way of progress.
