About the Book
Veda is Shabda Brahma, Divine Knowledge in metalanguage. The very word 'Veda' means knowledge. It is
derived from the root 'vid', which 'to be, to
know, to think, and to benefit from'.
So whatever is is
the very world of existence is Veda.
The knowledge of the world of existence is Veda. The
extension of knowledge through thought and research further is Veda. And to use
that knowledge for the benefit of mankind with the protection and preservation
of nature and the environment, without hurting any form of life, that is Veda.
Vedic knowledge is classified thematically into
Jnana (knowledge), Karma (action) and Upasana
(prayer). Formally, Vedic knowledge is divided into
Rgveda is the Veda of Knowledge,
Yajurveda is the Veda of Karma, Samaveda is the Veda of Bhakti, and Atharva-veda is Brahma Veda, an umbrella code, celebrating
the all comprehensive Divine Presence as in Book 10, hymns 7 and 8.
Vedas are the essence of life, and Samaveda is the
essence of the Vedas, says Chhandogyopanishad, 1, 1,
1-2:
Samaveda is a symphony of mantric
songs of prayer sung by the seers of all time Truth in a state of Ananda. It
consists of 1875 mantras which, except for about 100, are common with the
celebrative mantras of Rgveda. In some mantras there
are minor variations from the Rks, turning
descriptive celebrations into prayerful songs of meditative ecstasy.
