Jahnava Nitai Das Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Where are the original Vedas being kept? The original Vedas are eternally present in the ethereal space as shabda. All written forms of the Vedas are products of very recent times. At most you may find manuscripts dating from a thousand years in some of the royal libraries. Even among the written manuscripts, there are dozens of versions for each text. This may be due to a number of reasons, the most common being faulty transcription or variation according to the branch (shaka) of the text. There are various branches, each propagated by a particular Rishi, which sometimes contain minor variations in the text. This is not a fault, but revelation of a different aspect of the eternal shabda. The Vedic recitations are unlimited, although they may be classified under a limited number of headings or books. The Vedas are shabda-brahma, or the absolute truth in sound. According to the time, place and circumstances, a Rishi may realize a certain portion of the eternal sound, and pass it down to his disciples. Even today one may experience the recitation of the Vedic texts in the ethereal space through meditation and sadhana.

stonehearted Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 And this perspective would seem to help us explain the nature of Bhaktivinoda's discovery of Chaitanya Upanishad (or its revelation to him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atma Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 I agree with Babhru prabhu. The answers to the letters are always very clear, precise and full of knowledge. Very good service Jahnava Nitai. Many times I e-mail the answers to some of my friends because they are so good. Thank you very much.

Kulapavana Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 This is an important point in our Vedic culture and explains much controversy as to the historical dating of various Vedic writings. Oral and written tradition is not the only source of Vedic transmission of knowledge. The akhasic record is still available to the truly advanced mystics and the caliber of the person writing down knowledge from this source verifies it's validity. But one needs to be vigilant to avoid both cheap imitations as well as malicious transmissions. After all, the vibrations in the ether can be of many origins...
