Vedic Knowledge


Traditionally, the study of Vedic knowledge is organized according to a precise order,
starting with the most authoritative classical texts,
defined as the prasthana traya: Bhagavad gita, Upanishad and Vedanta sutra.
This fundamental study is also supported by other extremely important texts, such as the Puranas,
compiled by Vyasadeva himself for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the prasthana traya.


 
Bhagavad gita

Bhagavad gita is the shortest text (only 700 verses), the simplest and clearest of all scriptures. Although it contains all the knowledge that is required for
spiritual realization, can be understood easily.
Our explanations to the text are meant especially to remove possible
misconceptions due to pre-existent cultural superimpositions
in the student's background.
Besides the elaborate commentaries, we have prepared a quick-consultation version,
that affords a wider view and an easier focus on the dialogue thread.

Gods or Aliens?

We have no objections against the idea that some ancient civilizations, and particularly Vedic India,
had some form of advanced technology, or contacts
with non-human species or species from other worlds.
In fact there are numerous genuine texts from the Indian tradition that contain data on this subject:
the problem is that such texts are often incorrectly or inaccurately quoted by some authors to support theories
that are opposite to the teachings explicitly presented
in those same original texts.

This book is meant to correct such misconceptions,
and to present the perspective that we could call "orthodox",
in the sense that it strictly respects the correctness of the original Hindu texts (from the Greek orthos, "correct").

Why I became a Hindu

The movement known as Hindu Resurgence, Hindu Awakening or Hindu Renaissance has become increasingly noticeable, and there is a distinct effort to liberate Hinduism from the definitions and limitations imposed by the domination of hostile outsiders.
However, confusion and lack of proper information are still serious obstacles on the path of proper understanding and realisation.

India, or as it was called in ancient times, Bharata Varsha, has an immense potential that can be materialised simply by returning to the correct original perspective of the golden Vedic civilisation that is the natural heritage of all Indians and in fact of all human beings.

The Rig Veda samhita (9.63.5) points us in the correct direction: Krinvanto visvam aryam, "Let everyone become arya".
