The Vedas serve as both a scientific and historical treasure, acting as a gateway to awakening cosmic consciousness. The Rigveda contains historical memory and beautifully blends human endeavours with divine attributes. Indra, Agni, Varuna, Mitra, Savitur, and Soma are epithets given to people, institutions, cultures, traditions, and beliefs.
Indra represents a warrior and an unconquerable leader— a benevolent king who bestows bounty upon his people or tribe. Agni symbolizes the priest or instructor and most likely refers to the native populace or customs, revered as a messenger between the human (Indra) and the divine.
Throughout Bhartiya history, there have been many Indras. Anyone from the Deva, Danava, or Daitya lineage could hold this title. A kind and victorious leader of a tribe was called Indra, but what distinguished him from others was his extraordinary qualities and actions. The hymns dedicated to Indra praise these attributes.
Thus, the Rigvedic hymns capture the historicity of various Indras at different points in time and inspire individuals to awaken Indra (benevolent leadership) within themselves. Similarly, every divine attribute in the Vedas can be redefined in the context of history and civilization.
The Yajurveda codifies historical knowledge through mantras, rituals, and yajnas. Various Agni cult practices prevailed in ancient times with the belief of connecting with the gods. The term Agni was probably used for native customs and was thus revered as the highest seat for a priest or messenger between humans and the divine. The Yajurveda compiled different customs and practices, codifying them into mantras and rituals.
Rituals are connected to historical antiquity, blending with native civilizations and cultures, which is why they appear different in various parts of the world. Yajna symbolizes the sacrifice of regressive habits and outdated thought patterns, which was later represented by the symbolic sacrifice of animals.
The different schools of the Yajurveda and their respective Brahmanas can decode history in an unprecedented way. However, this requires extensive research—studying the four Vedas, scriptures from various schools, the Brahmanas, and then assimilating and arranging this vast knowledge in a rational manner.
The Samaveda, the last of the four, primarily consists of Rigvedic hymns. It arranges hymns in various meters, reflecting the evolution of civilizations and their beliefs. The composers and chanters of these hymns were known as Kavis (royal bards), singers, chanters, Udgātars, Levites, and more.
Over time, the yajna process became structured, with designated priests assigned to specific rituals.
The Vedas encompass world history and the evolutionary process of civilization-building. Without studying the Vedas and the Brahmanas, history remains only one-fourth revealed, while three-fourths remain veiled.
If this approach appears irrelevant and the traditional method of research is still considered the only scientific basis, then I must say—modern research would simply go around in circles, lost in bewilderment. Relying solely on assumptions, counter-assumptions, and romanticized theories about Pyramids, Anunnaki, Alexander, Greeks, and Mayans would be like wandering through a mythical wonderland.
The Vedas are not just spiritual texts; they hold the key to scientific wisdom and historical memory! 🕉️✨ It offers valuable philosophical insights on self-love, growth, limitless potential, awareness, and cultivating abundance for a successful life.
