Preface

The VEDAS are the fountain head of all ancient Indian philosophical thought, tradition and practices. The four Vedas contain all true knowledge in seed form. It is, therefore, desirable that all human beings should study them to take full advantage of this essential knowledge which can act as a light-source in this long voyage of the vast ocean of human life.

The four Vedas contain over 20,000 Mantras, Verses wrapped in the mystery of an ancient language, which though perfect, yet are beyond the grasp of the general public. The study of the Vedas is, therefore, difficult for an average Indian, even though, he may profess faith in them and hold them in high esteem. Some English and Hindi translations of the Vedas are available, but they are very voluminous and not many people have time and inclination to study them.

Keeping in view the above dilemma, the author has selected around 150 Vedic Mantras with a view to propagate some of the cardinal truths contained in these holy scriptures. These selected verses represent only a few drops from the ocean of Vedic knowledge and literature. However, they cover main, important and popular themes beneficial to human life.

It is hoped that with the publication of this handy volume, the overall meaning and the message contained in selected Vedic verses will spread among the general reader who might ignorant of this divine knowledge.

Only ‘a’ has been taken from Scriptural Transliteration for longer ‘a’ sound to write the mantras. The rest is as written in government papers, newspapers, magazines and general books.

Famous Vedic Prayers

Gayatri Mantra

The First Mantra

We begin this book with the First Mantra of Rig Veda, the first book in the library of mankind. It is very significant that it begins with the name of God and describes his attributes. Agni is one of the names of One Adorable God, who has numerous names, based upon his various attributes. He is Brahma (The Supreme Being), he is Agni-the all knowing, He is Indra-the Omnipotent, He is Diva-the shining one, and so on. Though He is One Unitary Being, they speak of Him in various ways:

He is the Controller and the Creator of the universe from eternity. We should all worship One Adorable God.

Invocation God

This is one of the most famous Vedic verses which contains universal prayer. We pray to God to remove all our vices, dispel all our miseries and grant us all that is good and righteous. This is a prayer which is suitable for all mankind without any distinction of caste, creed, race or country. What a wonderful heaven of peace and prosperity this world would be if all human beings are blessed with good habits, perform good deeds and are free from vices, evil deeds and miseries of all kinds. May we attain all that is beneficial. This is possible only by the grace of God, but we have to first equip ourselves with necessary qualifications.

God of All Things

‘The One has encompassed all.From Heaven to EarthWhich possesses all thingsTo Him, I offer my worship.’

Atharva Veda- 1:32

Homage to God

‘Homage to Him, who presides over all things,That which was and that which shall be;To whom alone belongs the heaven,To that all powerful Brahman, our homage!’

Atharva Veda- X:8

We should offer worship to the Only One God, who pervades all: here, there and everywhere. What is visible is all his manifestation, and what is not is all his hidden mystery.

God is the Controller of all things, moving and not moving, animate and inanimate. He knows everything of the past, the present and the future. From Heaven to Earth, He is the LORD of all things. We should pay our homage to God of the Universe.

Grace of God

Liberal Lord

Man should sing in praise of God and his grace and blessings. God is all Bountiful and His treasure is unlimited. He is liberal and his wealth is spread throughout. In order to attract God’s grace’ one must first enkindle true love of God in one’s heart and sing His praises with true devotion.

Universal Lord
