     Vedic Tradition - a Spiritual Science

Vedic tradition is a scientific inquiry about the human existence and the mystery ofCosmos:

It is not a religion but a spiritual tradition which means quest of the Spirit or Consciousness. Spirituality is different from Religion. See the difference in the table below.  

  Vedic Tradition - a Spiritual Science

   There are only a few spiritual traditions that are surviving today. One of the long evolved Spiritual tradition is the Vedic Tradition. The objective of this spiritual tradition is to solve the mystery of the Universe.

    The sum total of the inquiry process about our own Consciousness, the spirit,  was passed on to generations after generations is what we call as the Vedic Spiritual Tradition.  It is quite possible that the Vedic Spiritual Tradition started in India and over time has spread to other parts of world. The spiritual tradition in other parts of the world fossilized as religion. This is why we can see that some Spiritual elements are common in all religions which is call as the "Truth".  

Even in India, the land of Vedic tradition there are people who have and are mis-practiced VEDIC TRADITION like a religion causing destruction in cultural and spiritual values of the Society. This often comes when individuals or groups use Vedic tradition as an organizational enterprise for their own Selfish needs. However teachers continue to come every time such mishaps happen and they clear the misunderstanding and re-establish the Truth. This is why Vedic tradition has stood the test of time and is eternal like the Truth.

Proof of Vedic Spiritual science tradition:

   A spiritual tradition looks only at Truth like any branch of Science. Vedic Tradition is in tune with Modern Science as well as accommodates all religion's spiritual elements.  Vedic spiritual tradition nurtured the growth of all branches of science like Health, astronomy, cosmology, astrology, chemistry, biology, physics, health sciences, psychology and various technologies and also considered the scientists (Rishi's) as divine.

Long before Copernicus  proved to the western world that Earth was revolving around the Sun, the Vedic Scientists has calculated very accurately the planets rotations.

This is  a simple proof of its Vedic Spiritual tradition's contribution to Astronomy. (Reference Indian Scientific Heritage, 1999  WWW.IISH.org.

Tolerance: Proof of Vedic tradition's tolerance for other faiths is that only in Vedic tradition (in India) all other religions  thoughts are tolerated. There are several Temples in India that have other religious symbols accepted. There is no other religions in any other country that has symbols of other religions in their places of worship. This shows that in Vedic tradition practices what it preaches.  Other religions talk about Universal God and Love but cannot accommodate Truth from other religions contradicting its own principles. 

       The intention of this web site is not to put down any religion. Our language style might condemn the organizational flaws both in religion and in Modern science. Vedic tradition represent that "Inquiry" to know the Truth and will not be localized only in India. It is seen everywhere on this planet. The knowledge that sees everything holistic and not in fragments is and helps Man to discover his own inner "Freedom" and be blissful is the fundamental message of Vedic tradition. This method any where in this globe we identify as the Vedic tradition.

In the next pages we will see how the ancient scientists called Rishi's find the Truth. Before that we will discuss briefly the core message of Vedic tradition.

      Science and Religion-2

  What is the Core message of Vedas?

   The core message of Vedic Tradition is "Freedom", which is applicable in all aspects: freedom to think, question, answer and live and ultimately realize that Consciousness is the fundamental of this Universe and is also our real-nature and not the mere physical body. "Ved" means to Know or Knowledge. Only though knowledge, Man can Self-realize the inner Freedom, the Spirit or Consciousness that is in him is infact the essential nature of this Universe.

The ancient Vedic Scientists who realized this knowledge    are seers  of eternal Truth, who developed methods of inner enquiry into the mystery of the universe equally exact and reliable in practice as the most rigorous scientific study.  They started their search from the simple body and sense organs and journeyed deeper and deeper to the core of the "Being".

    Through their ancient Scientific research, the Rishi's developed inner technologies like Yoga and Meditation through which not only physical and mental well being can be achieved but also the cosmic mystery of "Consciousness" can be realized.

Without knowing the fundamental principle of Vedas, the whole Vedic tradition including the rituals, Puranic stories , Symbolism and culture will be totally be mis-understood and ridiculed. This has happened over time, but thanks to teachers (gurus) who impart right knowledge at different time periods whenever the Vedic Knowledge is at the verge of mis-interpretation.

Let us now go to the next page to understand the logical methodology adapted by the Rishi's.

           Mystery of Consciousness

Consciousness is the last surviving mystery of every human being. With the advancements in  science and technology, we might feel that there are nothing that can be termed as mystery nowadays. But consciousness is an entity that still remains a mystery to contemporary philosophers, psychologists, neurophysio-logists, and cognitive scientists. After the discovery of DNA as the Genetic material, the Scientist turned towards the research on Consciousness. 

    Consciousness remains the last mystery for modern scientists  to solve. According to Vedic tradition infact Self-Realization of Consciousness is the very purpose of every human life and the culmination of Samsara, the cycle of birth and death.

What is the Mystery?All that we experience of body and mind, the sensual pleasures and feelings are subjective. We cannot describe that in words to any one else. These subjective qualities are known as qualia (Qualee). The mystery of Consciousness is: how are qualia related to the physical world, in other words how does the objective physical brain manage to produce subjective qualia? as feelings.

   Consciousness is often mis-understood as a by-product of the brain. Inspite of leaping discoveries in neuroscience modern scientists are unable to understand Consciousness. This has first time led the Modern Scientist to lend ears to the Spiritual-scientists (Yogis or Rishi's). This is the first time Modern Science is willing to shake hands with Spirituality.

    As discussed in the earlier pages, Ancient masters have used the correct method to understand Consciousness. Their technology of Yoga and Meditation is now becoming more popular and indispensible than other technologies.  The ancient alternate mode of approaching the problem through inward inquiry only can solve the mystery of Consciousness.

   The Ancient Rishi's through their inner inquiry discovered the mystery of Consciousness. They expressed it symbolic ways because the discovery is difficult to articulate. In the next page you will see a picture which in a nutshell explains the complete description of Consciousness.

Who creates Ego?

      It is no different from asking, Who creates the shadow?,  the light or the object?. The light is certainly not responsible for the creation of the shadow. However, the shadow cannot be formed without the light and so does not have any independent existence of its own. The object in respective of its position to the light source is the cause of the creation of shadow.

      If the object is far away from the light source, the shadow's length is longer. The closer the object moves towards the light source, shorter the shadow's length and once when the object and the shadow are in close proximity the objects merges with the light.  Look at the illustration given below. The shadow of the pyramid like structure is longer when it is far away from the light source. The length of the shadow decreases as it approaches the light source.     

           Ego similarly does not have any independent existence. It is just the shadow in the presence of Pure Consciousness. Pure consciousness is not responsible for the creation of Ego and at the same time, without Consciousness Ego does not exist.

           Without God or pure Consciousness, there is nothing, but God has nothing to do with whatever is happening in this world. It is all the shadow  play of the Ego. This concept of God is confused vastly in all religions, however spiritual traditions are very clear about it. Not understanding this concept is ignorance and leads to all confusions, pain and suffering. All the problems that we suffer are our own creation. We create thoughts with our own free will and suffer from it. This is why from the beginning we have been insisting on creating positive thoughts to create a blissful life.

         God as a person is the creation of Ego for it to feel cozy and protected. We will see how many disguises the Ego takes to protect itself. In the name of God ego achieves to fulfill all its needs and wants. In the name of God, Ego does not give up making discriminations and distinctions and take control over other fellow beings and living beings. In the name of God, Ego ruthlessly can harm and torture all beings in the world. In the name of God it can kill spiritual traditions and inhibit the evolution. Through the mis-understanding of the word God, Ego fuels all discussions, debates and war through which it nourishes its own beliefs and concepts. Ego will eradicate any free thinking that will go in the direction of the intellect and finally awareness.

     Ego - the reflection

      The dreaming state (Mind) is like the second state of the river, the subtle body of the river. There it becomes apparent, and it becomes apparent also in the wakeful state (body). You know, your wakeful state is like the state of the river when it is upon the plains, the gross body of the river. There the Sun shines clearly; it was shining clearly upon the glaciers, but it reflects its image only in the stream; in the muddy river is the image of the Sun seen; so in your wakeful state, the image of the Sun is also seen.

       This egoism—I do this, I do this, I am this, I am that, all this egoism—this selfish apparent self makes its appearance in the wakeful state also. But you see there is a difference in the ego of your dreamland and the ego of your wakeful state. In your dreamland the ego which has been to you as the reflection or shadow of the true Atman or God, is fickle, changeable, vague, unsettled, hazy; exactly as the reflection of the Sun in the stream when it is upon the mountains is vague, meandering, changeable; and in your wakeful state this ego is definite, permanent, as in slow stream, slow river, when it is flowing upon the plains.

Claims of the Ego

         The irony  is the reflection of the Sun take claims that it is the real Sun, and it was who that melted the glaciers and formed the streaming  mountains and now it is the one that is floating on this river. "I" "I" "Mine" is the way this Ego reflection uses the maximum. One's you realize your true Self, then you understand what a fool this Ego was, claiming all work to itself. The biggest foolishness was to think that it was floating on the river and it was part of the river. In reality it was not the river, its reflection just fell on the river. The Ego is mere a reflection and has no substance in reality.

        But this reflection does not want to away. The Ego does not like to think that it is a reflection. it tries all means to protects its false identity. To achieve this it makes all the concepts and tries to prove its reality. This is what we see in this world that is happening. It tries to establish its power in every means and moments of life.
