Vedic culture

[Guest guest]

Sometimes mundane scholars object to Srila Prabhupada's use of the terms

Vedic and Vedic culture to mean Krsna consciousness or a culture centered on

Krsna consciousness, because Gaudiya Vaisnavism is not directly based on the

four Vedas, giving more importance to Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita.

However, as these two books convey the essence of and fulfill the purpose of

the Vedas, the teachings of Gaudiya Vaisnavism are Vedic in the truest

sense.

 

Are there any quotes from sastra or explanations by Srila Prabhupada to

ratify this position?

 

(Here is one quote that hints at the above) Artho 'yam brahma-sütranam:

Srimad-Bhagavatam is the original commentary on the Vedanta-sütra, written

by the author himself, Srila Vyasadeva.
