Our organization
Vedic Links is essentially engaged in
the original recording in Cassettes/Compact Discs
of Vedic hymns of all Chatur (4) Vedas, keeping in
mind and addressing all sections of Hindu society.
While
Indians are giants in the field of spiritualism, they
are dwarfs in politics as compared with powerful nations.
"We can never outgrow our foreign counterparts
politically and it is therefore necessary to maintain
our traditionally cultural and spiritual values.”
India can win over conquerors culturally and not politically,"
says a non-Indian historian. Vedic hymns are the treasure
house of Hindu scriptures and the four Vedas form
the core of our Hindu Religion functioning as the
four cardinal pillars of support.
Ishwara
(God) and the Vedas have co-existed. Without being
recorded in writing, the Vedas have been passed from
generation to generation. But nowadays it is not possible
or feasible on practical considerations. Hence our
attempt to record the Vedic Hymns in audio CD for
the benefit of those who want to, at least hear the
VEDIC chants and or practice the recital. What is
so special about the efficacy of Vedic Mantras are,
even without going into the meaning, when recited
or heard, the mere sound effect of them is beneficial
to all concerned.
We
have flown in the air like birds and swum the sea like
fish, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking
on the earth like brothers. Vedas mention “Lokas
samasthas sukino bhavanthu” and “vasudaiva
kudumbakam” and preached Universal Peace (Shanti)
for the Mankind considering it as one big family.
The four Vedas were said to have 1131 branches
earlier. But now only 13 branches are traceable (viz.,
1% only). Out of these 13 branches also, only 7 are
being chanted at different parts of the country.
Others are traceable in script form only. Even these
branches may disappear if immediate steps are not
taken to preserve them by any means.
The present generation and generations to follow,
should be given an opportunity to understand,
appreciate our great tradition thru our Veda Mantras
and live in peace and harmony. “LIFE -You can't take
it with you--but that's no excuse for leaving it in a
mess." -- JIM KITCHEN
