Knowledge of the Ved has always been for entire humanity. The light of Ved represents sensation of the human being irrespective of caste, cult, society, country, etc.
The Mahabharata has been written for declaration of ultimate knowledge of Ved. It’s an inspiration for Maharshi Vedvyas’s vedic research. Sutra of conservation of all types of habits of the human being has been given in every line of the Ved.
Yanihagamashastrani yashch kashchit pravrittayah prikhak I
Tani vedam puruskritya pravrittani yathakramam II Maha. Anu. 122/4
Although, in the modern period, the people who were grappled with left ideology’s biased illusionary intellect have made Manu’s total thought tradition disputable.
Maharshi Manu is highly revered in vaidadak research. According to Manu, the Ved describes name and duty of materialistic items and creation of cosmic arrangements.
Sarvesham namani karmani cha prithak-prithak I
Vedashabdebhya evadau prithak santhashcha nirmame II Manu. 1/21
It’s the Ved which is the very basis of description of soul-god, discussion of ways of getting ultimate bliss, analysis of nature-man, mention of material-value, detailed description of direct-guess and proofs, thought of process of yagyiya rituals and creation shaddarshan like of justice-vaisheshik. That’s why, these darshans have named as theistic. Manu has called Charvak-Jain-Buddhist darshans which rejects authenticity of ved ‘nastiko vedanindakah’.
Maharshi Manu believes that only those scholars who are expert in the Ved can run political system, judiciary and army.
Sainapatyam cha rajyam cha dandanetritvameva cha I
Sarvalokadhipatyam cha vedashastravidaharti II Manu. 12/100
The Ved describes sutra of national unity through which we can conserve and prosper our nation.
The Atharvaved mentions that if the citizen of the nation are laborious, devoid of laziness and anger, the nation will be reach ultimate prosperity.
Shramena tapasa srishta brahmana vittarte shrita--- Atharvaved 12/5/1
It’s well-known fact that lazy and idle people do nothing in the world. The Yajurved appeals to the human being to wish for centenarian life by doing their duty.
Kurvanneveha karmani jijivishet shatam samah …. Yajurved 40/2
It’s impossible to imagine rest without doing hard work. That’s why, vedic rishi declares that my right hand and left hand have strength and success respectively.
Kritam me dakshine haste jayo me savya aahatah …. Atharvaved 7/50/8
Hard work brings success. The citizens of the nation are laborious, the nation attains prosperity. There are many countries which became prosperous in small span of time due to hard and intellectual work. It’s another matter that their citizens may lift black flag in their hands to oppose the government policies. But at the same time, they don’t deviate from their path of national duty. The citizens of Germany and Japan don’t indulge in damaging national property in the name of strike. They don’t put obstacle in the path of national prosperity. In the Mahabharata, tapa means performing duty. Tapah svakarmavarttitvam I Tapa plays important role while performing duty. Recognizing the role of tapa in the life, Acharya Chanakya defines that keeping sense organs under control is known as tapa. Tapah saramindriyanigrahah I Chanakyaniti Acharya Shankar has always been revered for oratory skill in logic and scripture.
Jitam hi jagat kena? Mano daha yena ….
He highlights the importance of tapa through this question-answer session. It’s impossible to become world champion without kindness.
The acceptance of universal regime of the world means ruler of entire world. The entire body and consciousness are interlinked under its discipline. It’s impossible to breach that discipline. The intense reverence is the reason behind the ultimate experience in this notion. Acceptance of the godly universal regime is the first identity of aesthetic heart. The duty is the very basis of result. This justice is the ultimate knowledge of the regime. An enlightened person never wishes for distress. No power is capable for checking sorrow arising out of wrongful duties. Aesthetic heart always remembers result of duty. It has an imprint of unique lesson on the inner soul. This education reflects in the Chhandogypanishad. Declaration of Maharaj Ashwapati who is the representative of aesthetic national leadership attracts the gentlemen even today.
Na me steno janapade na kadaryo na madyapah I
Nanahitagnirnana vidvanna svairi svairini kutah II
Recognition of motherland needs national consciousness. The motherland will fulfil all the desires of sons. Richa of Ved mata bhumih putroaham prithivyah is pronounced to highlight its importance. There should be no fear in sacrificing for the nation. Vyam rashtre jagriyamah purohitah and vayam tubhyam balihritah syam…. also highlight this intension.
Authenticity of the Ved is revered in the society. The Ved wishes for knowledge and science, strength and daring, trade and service for brahman, kshatriya, trader and shudra respectively. Similarly, women power, daring and mighty offspring, milking cow, fast horse, medicines, adequate rain, achievement of yog and health and prayer are the very feathers of Ved. Mantra sadhana of the Yajurved.
Aa brahman brahmano brahmavarchasi jayatam…
Yogakshemo nahkalpatam… Yajurved 22/22
This is omnipresent and universal wish. The Ved has description of ultimate education, human pain and national consciousness. Swami Dayanand appealed to the people to ‘return to the Ved’. It’s book of all the true studies. In fact, the Ved is universal.
The Ved describes som element as the ultimate representative of peace. The som plays an important role in bringing peace in the world. The global peace is the need of hour. It’s the ultimate priority of vedic culture.
Achchannsya te deva soma suviryasya…
Sa Prathama sanskritirvishvavara…
Yajurved 7/14
The Ved mentions about prayer. Mantra and lesson of peace are the reasons behind global peace. The sun, moon and stars are the messenger of peace. The sky is the source of air and rain. It also showers bliss. This earth laden with various prosperity is the root cause of peace. The cold current of river and trees laden with fruits also provide peace to the people. Top of mountain and sea waves are also the indication of peace. The ways to attain it should also be peaceful for bringing peace in the world. Mutual love, mutual cooperation, mutual dialogue and mutual dependence can make the entire world as the family. Today, terrorism has become the global problem. The peace of vedic culture is essential to check this problem. If some groups try to take benefit from terror, shesh samar will be the only option to get rid of it.
Uttishthata sanahyadhvamudarah ketubhih saha I
Sarpa itara jana rakshamsyamitrananu dhavata II Aharvaved 3/30/19
We must appeal to the mighty soldiers to hoist flag high in the sky and attack on the causing factors of terror. The people must abide by it.

Our soldiers must taste the victory and attack the terrorists. Description of enormity of war by our vedic rishis defines reality of their eternal thought in the modern period.
Vrikshe vrikshe niyata mimayad gaustato vayah pranatan purushadah I
Athedam vishvam bhuvanam indraya sunvad rishaye cha shikshat II Ringved 10/27/22
Defining the aforesaid mantra, Acharya Yask terms tree and cow as bow and arrow respectively. During the fierce war, the soldiers are armed with weapons. The soldiers are launching fierce attack on the enemies. This attack wreaks havoc in the entire world. Watching this deadly attack, Indra started to pray to the God. He appealed to God Shankara to end this deadly war. Oh God! Instill peace in the minds of attackers. He also requested rishis to wish for ceasefire. Rejecting the necessity of war, vedic rishi’s appeal is worth mentioning.
Pramuncha dhanvanastvamubhayorartnyorjyam I
Yashcha te hasta ishavah para ta bhagato vapa II Yajurved 16/9
Oh country head! Order the soldiers to stop war. Order them to leave arrow from their hands. Bow and arrow are the indication of all the weapons. They are destroyers. The mantra hints at providing opportunity for necessity of ceasefire in the war.
Vedic culture gives message of friendship.
Mitrasya chakshusha savarni bhutani samikshantam I
Mitrasyaham chakshusha savarin bhutani samikshe I
Mitasya chakshusha samikshamahe II
Yajurved 36/18
My friendship may remain intact. My every activity must reflect friendship. My eye must get reflected with light towards the ultimate goal. This intention is an expression of total commitment towards eternity of love in comparison to dependence on circumstances.
Vedic psychology hints at expression of worshiping for love and affection.

Anyo anyamabhiharyata vatsam jatamivadhnya II Aharvaved 3/30/2
Ideal memory of behavior of cow towards her calf in the concept of aesthetic of heart, purity of mind, and absence of hatred is a unique example of rishipragya.
Yagyashala is the laboratory of vedic culture. With chanting of richa, hetuki plays an important role in atmosphere purification despite absence of aahuti of shaklya and ghee. Yagya is omnipresent in the nature. Down after night, sunrise after down. Land revolving around the sun, rain, seasonal cycle, navsamvatsar, etc. are in fact yagya.
In Chhandogyopanishad, the human life has been described as yagya. Purusho vava yagyah… 3/16
Yagya should be performed in the morning, afternoon and evening with synchronicity. Mahidas Etareya Rishi was expert in this yagyiya sadhana.
During special meditation, vedic dictionary Nighantu contains dhanvachak 28 words. Linking two words makes 30 words. Nighantu has no accumulation of property. In the case of inclusion, 32 dhanvachak words highlight importance of property in the Ved which has place for poverty and dearth.
Vayam syama patayo rayinam I
Ringved 4/50/6
The plural use of word rayi hints at possessing massive property. Lakshmi sukta of Ringved describes pradurbutoasmi rashtreasmin kirttimriddhim dadatu me I Mantra number 7
The people wish for taking birth, respect and prosperity in the nation. They wish for food grains, clothes, respect, silver, son, chariot, cow, elephant, property, etc. But committing sin while earning money is strictly prohibited.
Indra is also called Madhava or owner of property. Mantra pronounced while praying for money—
Bhurida bhuri dehi no dabhram bhuryabhara I
Ringved 4/32/20

Yastanna veda kimricha karishyati ya it tadvidusta ise samasate II Ringved 1/164/39
The people must realize the ultimate God whose discipline is acceptable to all the deities. If they fail to do so, what will they get from the richa? The utility of richa is to give priority to samadhi. Lesson of ringvediya rishi consciousness is desirable for getting samadhi.
Na dakshina vichikite na savya na prachinamaditya nota pashcha I
Pakya chid vasavo dhiyra chid yushmanito abhayam jyotirashyam II Ringved 2/27/11
I see nothing either in the right side or in the left side. I see nothing either in the east or in the west. I know that I am still immature. My IQ is low. Despite, I am fearless due to your sheer guidance. The Yajurved describes versatility of experiment of mind and intellect while attaining samadhi.

Indian and western historical researchers are of view that the vedic culture is the oldest culture in the world. The vedic culture is the Indian culture. The major devastations tried to uproot it, but they failed to do so. This vedic culture is the witness of all the high and low of the world. The vedic culture has been showing the path to the entire world since time immemorial. Maharshi Manu’s dialogue is an obliged memorable expression towards our entire rishi consciousness.
