If we take a section of Vedic medicine (Ayur-Veda), then we will find in it a detailed description of the human body, both at the gross physical level, which official medicine has studied quite well today, but also at various subtle levels, such as the level of emotions (astral plane). Level of mind (mental plane), level of mind (buddhial plane). Ayurveda explains that disease originates in a subtle form at these higher levels of the human body, and then spreads to the gross physical plane.

According to Ayurveda, the manifestation of a disease only at the level of our material body is its last stage, therefore it should be treated where it occurs, i.e. on subtle plans. Isn’t that why official medicine is often unsuccessful in the treatment of diseases, because it tries to influence with its methods only the gross physical body?
The Vedas talk about the amazing possibilities of influencing the environment with the help of a special science of sacrifices, which describes methods of influencing the subtle energy processes occurring in nature. With the help of this science, it was possible to control the fertility of the soil, the climate, and prevent natural disasters. It is interesting to mention that the rains at that time fell exclusively at night, so as not to prevent people from doing their business and enjoying life during the day. This fact shows that people of the past, thanks to their knowledge, could live in complete harmony with the surrounding world.

At the same time, it is emphasized that intelligent living beings in human form with the most primitive abilities live on it (this is about you and me).

In total, according to the Vedas, there are 400,000 species of human-like living beings. They inhabit different planets of the universe.

There is also a chapter on music in the Vedas, which talks about the seven basic notes, which correspond to the seven chakras, energy nodes in the human body, allowing specially constructed melodies (ragas) to calm and heal a person, to create psychological comfort.
There are manuals on mathematics (Shulba-sutra), chemistry (Rasayana-sastra), architecture (Sthapatyaveda) and urban planning (Vastushastra), philosophy (Upanishads, Vedanta-sutra), logic, economic prosperity, applied psychology, state management, diplomats. There is also Kama-shastra, the science of intimate relationships, which allows a person to gradually move from gross material pleasures to increasingly subtle ones, and how to understand that such pleasures are not the purpose of human existence.

It is worth stopping here. It is difficult for our consciousness to contain the information contained in the Vedic scriptures. It changes our established ideas too much.
However, if we still try to somehow summarize and analyze this information, we will inevitably have to draw the following conclusion: The Vedas contain the most complete knowledge in all areas of life. Vedic scriptures (shastras) make up a harmonious whole and help a person to satisfy any of his material needs, develop physical and intellectual abilities, and eventually rise to a high moral level. But the main purpose of Vedic literature is to tell the science of spiritual self-knowledge, thereby leading a person to liberation from suffering.

• “Rig Veda”
• “Yajurveda”
• “Samaveda”
• “Atharvaveda”

The main sections of the Vedas

Four Vedas:

mantras and rites Itihasa – stories of “Bhagavad-gita” – Song of the Absolute Puranas – chronicles of the universe Upanishads – conversations with sages Vedanta-sutra – philosophical aphorisms Srimad-Bhagavatam – Song of Truth Stories – applied Vedas Shruti, Smriti and Nyaya – heard, remembered hatched, deduced logically.

The structure of the Vedic scriptures can be likened to a ladder with many steps, and each particular scripture will correspond to a particular step. The scriptures treat people at all levels with respect, encouraging everyone to rise above.

The evolution of personality, according to the Vedas, is not limited to one life. Understanding the principle of transformation shows that the rungs of this symbolic ladder can also be considered lives. Therefore, the religious tolerance of the Vedic texts, based on philosophical understanding, should not be confused with indifference or the idea that “everything is one”.

Vedic texts are divided into three categories (kandas), corresponding to different stages of spiritual maturity of the soul:

• karma kanda
• gyana-kanda and
• upasana-kanda

Karma-kanda, which includes the four Vedas and family scriptures, is intended for those who are attached to temporary material gains and prone to ritualism.

Gyana-kanda, which includes the Upanishads and “Vedanta-sutra”, calls for liberation from the power of matter, through renunciation of the world and renunciation of desires.

Upasana-kanda, which mainly includes the texts “Srimad-Bhagavatam”, “Bhagavad-gita”, “Mahabharata” and “Ramayana” is intended for those who want to understand the Personality of Godhead and acquire a relationship with the Supreme.

Four Vedas:

mantras and rites.
Originally, there was only one Veda, the Yajur Veda, and it was transmitted orally, from teacher to student. But about 5000 years ago, the great sage Krishna-Dvaipayana Vyasa (Vyasadeva) wrote down the Vedas for the people of this century, the Kali Yugi. He divided the Vedas into four parts according to the types of sacrifices: “Rig”, “Sama”, “Yajur”, “Atharva” and entrusted these parts to his students.

• “Rig-veda” – “Veda of praise”, consists of hymns collected in ten books. Most of the poems glorify Agni, the god of fire, and Indra, the god of rain and the heavenly planets.
• The Yajur Veda, known as the Veda of Sacrifice, contains instructions for performing sacrifices.
• The Sama-veda, the Veda, consists of hymns, many of which occur in a different context in the Rig-Veda.
• “Atharva”, the “Veda of Incantations” describes many different types of worship and incantations. It is said that all the remnants of the first three Vedas, which were not included in them, were put together and this formed the Atharva Veda. It is not used during sacrifices, hence the term “Triveda”

The purpose of the four Vedas is to convince man that he is not an independent being, but a part of the universal organism. Nowadays, a large part of the mantras of the four Vedas are not effective or only partially effective. The reason is that people do not have sufficient concentration and purity of consciousness to recite Vedic mantras.

Also, each Veda contains a teaching (applied knowledge):

• “Rig-veda” – Ayur-veda (medicine)
• “Sama-veda” – Gandharva story (singing, dancing, music, theatrical art)
• “Yajur Veda” – Dhanur story (military art, economy, politics)
• “Atharva-veda” – Sthapattya-narrative (building, architecture, painting, sculptural creation)

Usually, the general principles of one or another applied science are outlined in the lectures. Detailed knowledge of the relevant disciplines is preserved in specific schools, which have preserved and supplemented it for centuries.

Itihasas are stories
Itihasas are epic poems that are the history of the ancient Vedic civilization in different eras. They include “Ramayana”, which is called adi-kavya (“the first poem”), and “Mahabharata”. The author of the Ramayana is the sage Valmiki, and the author of the Mahabharata is the compiler of the Vedas, Vyasadev.

“Bhagavad-gita” – Song of the Absolute
A special place in Vedic literature is occupied by “Bhagavat-gita” – a part of “Mahabharata”.
The Bhagavad-gita is a dialogue between an avatar, Lord Krishna, and his friend Arjuna before the battle on the field of Kurukshetra about 5,000 years ago.

It contains the essence of the philosophy of the Vedas and is the main scripture of Eastern spirituality.

The Bhagavad-Gita describes all the varieties of yoga (the practice of attaining enlightenment):

• Karma yoga – the yoga of activity, the laws of actions and their consequences,
• Ashtanga yoga is the yoga of mystical contemplation, a part of which is hatha yoga,
• Gyana yoga is the yoga of renunciation of matter and self-awareness with the soul,
• Bhakti yoga is the yoga of developing relationships with the Supreme and acquiring divine love.

The Bhagavad-gita also describes the principles of the existence of the spiritual and material worlds, the laws of transformation of the soul, the state of matter and their influence on consciousness, and many other secret topics.

Puranas are chronicles of the universe
In the 18 Puranas, the philosophy of the Vedas is presented as a conversation and illustrated by cases from the history of mankind in different eras. Puranas are divided into three groups depending on the level of human consciousness.
There are Puranas for people in sattva guna (benevolence), raja guna (passion, activity) and tamo guna (ignorance).

You can learn more about the Vedic teaching about the state of matter and consciousness on this topic dedicated to this page.

Upanishads – conversations with sages.
Upanishads means “knowledge received from a spiritual master” (literally “upa-ni-shad” means “sitting down beside”). Their texts show that all material forms are only temporary manifestations of the eternal energy that resides above the material duality of suffering and joy, gains and losses.

The 108 Upanishads show unity in diversity, and inspire all those engrossed in the rituals of the four Vedas to go beyond their short-term goals.

Vedanta Sutra – philosophical aphorisms.
Vyasadeva summarized all Vedic knowledge in aphorisms known as Vedanta Sutra.

The 560 comprehensive conclusions of the Vedanta Sutras define Vedic truths in the most general terms. But Vyas remained dissatisfied even after composing many Puranas, Upanishads and even the Vedanta Sutra. Then his spiritual master Narada Muni gave him the instruction: “Explain ‘Vedanta'”.

“Srimad-Bhagavatam” is a song about Truth
After that, Vyasadeva wrote a commentary on his own “Vedanta-sutra” in the form of the sacred text “Srimad-Bhagavatam”, consisting of 18,000 slokas (verses).

The Vedas call it “Maha-Purana” (“the greatest Purana”).
The four Vedas are compared to a tree, the Vedanta is compared to the flower of this tree, and the Srimad Bhagavatam is known as the “ripe fruit of the tree of Vedic knowledge.”
Its other name is “Bhagavata-Purana” – “Purana that fully discloses knowledge about the Absolute (Bhagavan).”

“Srimad-Bhagavatam” tells about the arrangement and creation of the material universe, as well as the science of the spiritual world, the Absolute and its incarnation in different eras. He talks about the principles of returning a living being to the spiritual world.

The Vedanta Sutras only hint at what Brahman is, the Absolute Truth: the Absolute Truth is that from which everything emanates.
If everything emanates from the Absolute Truth, then what is the nature of the Absolute Truth? This is explained in Srimad-Bhagavatam.

Narratives are applied Vedas
Narratives are auxiliary Vedas, which include various material knowledge. For example, the Ayur-veda contains medical knowledge, the Dhanur-veda contains the principles of military art, the Jyotir-veda contains astrology, and the Manu-samhita contains the laws of the progenitor of mankind, Manu. In the Vedas, one can also find knowledge of architecture, logic, astronomy, politics, sociology, psychology, history, etc. The civilization of many nations in ancient times was based on the Vedas, so it is also called the Vedic civilization.

Shruti, smriti and nyaya –
heard, remembered, deduced logically

The division of Vedic scriptures into three groups is also traditional:

• SHRUTI (“that which is understood by hearing”): 4 Vedas and Upanishads.
• Smriti (“that which must be remembered”; tradition, or that which is reproduced from memory; that which was realized by the sages, passed over, understood and explained): Puranas, Itihasas.
• NYAYA – logic (“Vedanta-sutra” and other treatises).

 

1. SATTYA-SOUTH

The first of the eras is Satya Yuga, or the Golden Age.

Satya Yuga lasts 1,728,000 Earth years and is compared to spring.
This is a “perfect” afternoon.
It is also called the Krita Yuga, or the White South.

Satya Yuga is characterized by righteousness, prosperity and universal prosperity of spiritual culture. People in this age live for 100,000 years, all of them are happy and achieve perfection of self-awareness through meditation.
They have the highest qualities, supernatural abilities, huge growth, strength, high level of intelligence and good looks.

2. THIRD-SOUTH

The second epoch is Treta Yuga, or the Silver Age.
Tretya-Purdnya follows Satya-yuga and precedes Dvapara-yuga.
The third-southern day lasts 1,296,000 Earth years and is similar to summer.

Compared to the Satya-yuga, when the population of the universe adheres to all the principles of religion, and ignorance and vice are practically absent, in the Treta-yuga people’s piety decreases by one quarter, the first signs of social degradation appear, and life expectancy decreases to 10,000 years.

In Satya Yuga, living beings have the four positive qualities of character: asceticism, purity, charity, and truthfulness, and experience practically only happiness.

In the Treta Yuga, they lose asceticism, one of these positive qualities of character.
However, possession of the other three qualities of character: purity, charity and truthfulness allow people to live quite happily, achieving perfection of self-awareness.

3. DWAPARA-SOUTH

The third era, through which the universe passes in its development,
called the Dvapara Yuga, or Bronze Age.
It follows Treta Yuga and precedes Kali Yuga.

The duration of Dvapara Yuga is 864,000 Earth years, and it is compared to autumn.
During this period, piety is reduced by half, and the population of the universe loses another positive quality of character: purity.
The two remaining positive qualities, mercy and truthfulness, provide people with some happiness, but the level of suffering in this age is already quite high.

In Dvapara Yuga, people live for 1000 years and attain perfection through temple worship.

4. KALI-SOUTH

The time in which we live is called the age of Kali, or the Kali-yuga Iron Age.
Kali-yuga is the last of the four souths. She follows the Dvapara Yuga
and precedes the Satya-yuga.

Kali Yuga modern era (last in a repeating cycle of four eras)
an age of enmity and hypocrisy. It is characterized by the gradual disappearance of spiritual knowledge and the degeneration of human civilization.

Kali Yuga began in 3037 BC. during the battle of Kurukshetra, lasts 432,000 Earth years and is compared to winter.

In this era, the degradation of humanity is fully manifested, discord, godlessness, ignorance and debauchery spread everywhere.

Of the four positive qualities of character characteristic of the people of the Golden Age,
only truthfulness is preserved, and this quality is characteristic of far from everyone.

People in this era mostly suffer, life expectancy decreases to 100 years.
They lose their minds and are unable to determine the source of happiness.

Kali Yuga (Iron Age) compared to Satya Yuga (Golden Age), Treta Yuga (Silver Age) and Dvapara Yuga (Copper Age) is a very difficult process of self-realization.

In the Satya Yuga, people lived for 100,000 years and achieved the perfection of self-awareness through meditation.

In the Treta Yuga, people lived for 10,000 years and reached the peak of self-awareness in the form of sacrifices.

In the Dvapara Yuga, people lived for 1000 years and attained perfection through temple worship.

However, in the Kali Yuga, when a person’s life spans at most 100 years and is fraught with all kinds of hardships, and when the ordinary person is unable to observe all the Vedic rules and precepts or thoroughly study all the Vedic scriptures, none of the methods of self-realization used in previous eras, does not bring benefits.

According to the Vedas, there is a special method for our age by which the highest goal of Vedic culture and perfection of self-realization can be attained…

According to the Vedas, our Kali Yuga will be interspersed with the Golden Age, which has already begun around 1486. The duration of this impregnation will be 10,000 years. It is believed that Vedic Knowledge and culture will be restored throughout the Earth. However, then they will decline again. Perhaps that is why we see such great interest in Knowledge, in spiritual development among many people.
Knowledge is now collected piece by piece and restored.

Many say that the Vedas are polytheism, but this is not so. According to the Vedas, in the universe, as in any other organization, there is a management and a vertical of power.
There is the Supreme (or Absolute) – he manifests himself through the triad or Deities who oversee the main energies of the Universe: the power of “Goodness” (or the energy of support), the power of “Passion” (or the energy of creation) and the power of “Ignorance” (or the energy of destruction). .
These energies are called differently, but in almost any religion we see such a concept as the Trinity, or the Three Unity. In the Vedas, they are called Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva. In Russia, they were called Vishnu, Svarog and Veles. In Christianity, the Father of God, the Son of God, the Holy Spirit.

The Ukrainian language belongs to the Indo-European language group. Indo-European languages ​​are the most widespread language family in the world. They come from a single Proto-Indo-European language whose speakers lived about 5,000-6,000 years ago. There are several hypotheses about the birthplace of the Proto-Indo-European language (such regions as Eastern Europe, Front Asia, steppe areas at the junction of Europe and Asia, India are called). The word Indus means the Indus River – a large river in South Asia, originating in China in the Himalayas and flowing mainly through northwestern India and Pakistan.

The Ukrainian language has a lot in common with Sanskrit (the language in which the Vedas were written and spoken in ancient Vedic times).
An example of common words: (Ukrainian) – gohati (Sankt.); to shout – sound; bazykati – small talk; ataman – ataman; hetman – gatiman; light, fair-haired – blonde; charka – charm; house – khadu; corner – corner; thinness – good health; horse – horse; cow – cow; protection, worth – fire; puddle – puddle; boar – boar; a tree is a gift; yushka – yushika; soup – soup; salty – salt; milk – milk; crops ripened – women (from this Ukrainian word “harvest”) and others. This is only a small part of the words. Sanskrit names are found in the names of cities and rivers of Kievan Rus. There is an interesting book by Stanislav Gubernachuk “Ukrainian language and Sanskrit”.

The author of the book (a professional philologist) compared more than 8,000 Ukrainian words with Sanskrit words, which allows us to clarify the origin and find out the meaning of many of our words obscured by millennia, to trace the ancient foundations of the Ukrainian language. ⠀ We also see that earlier there was a common writing of Sanskrit texts. A border was placed above the symbols (“letters”), which meant that God is above all. We can see it in ancient Slavic chronicles and in many monasteries. ⠀ The rich, deeply meaningful language of the Slavs (which, as we wrote above, was formed from Sanskrit) was gradually destroyed due to simplification and Latinization. This simplification was started by two people: Cyril (a native of Rome) and Methodius, who was born in Moravia, the territory of the modern Czech Republic. Both of these people are in no way related to the Slavs. Around 863, Cyril and Methodius, on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Michael III, “ordered” the script for the Slavic language and used a new alphabet (very simplified) to translate Greek religious texts into this language. ⠀ The so-called Cyrillic alphabet consists of 43 letters, fully includes the corresponding Old Slavic 24 letters of the Greek alphabet, some letters (ksi, psi, fita, izhitsia) are not in their original place, but moved to the end, and 19 letters of the Old Slavic alphabet to indicate specific to the Slavic language and absent in Greek. That is, instead of 49 Old Slavic letters, after the reform of the “enlighteners”, 43 letters remained in the alphabet.

Ukraine bears a trident on its coat of arms, it is a symbol of God Shiva.

The trident is very often used in Vedic culture, it can be seen on various deities, including one of the main Gods – Lord Shiva.
His trident symbolizes the three forces (or three gunas) of material nature: the mode of Goodness (Sattva), the mode of Passion (Rajas) and the mode of Ignorance (Tamas).

Shiva controls these three gunas. An interesting fact is that although Shiva controls these three forces, his administrative task is to control ignorance.
To do this, he often uses the trident to destroy its manifestation.

The flag of Ukraine, on the one hand, resembles a wheat field and the sky. This symbolism can be seen all over Ukraine, and it is beautiful. However, blue and yellow are also colors of Krishna. In the 2013 adaptation of the Mahabharata, this can also be observed, these colors are depicted on the flag of Krishna.

The facts.

Easter and the shape of Easter in Europe and Ukraine are very different. This is again related to the overlap of cultures. If you compare the shape of the pasca with the Lingam of the Vedic culture, which is still used in India to worship Shiva, you will be very surprised – they are identical. The celebration of Easter itself takes place in the spring, before the beginning of sowing, and the shape of the Paska, like the Lingam, represents the male beginning and resembles the male genital organ, which is a symbol of fertility in the Vedas.

Cossacks in Ukraine.

This is a whole big topic.
The word “Otaman” and “Hetman” are Sanskrit words that mean, essentially, “military leader”. The word “Cossack” leads linguistically to the Rig-Veda, in which “vessel, ship” was called that. “Herring” is a strand of hair on the top of the head of the Cossacks. We can see Krishnaites in the streets of cities who often wear this hairstyle. The bun on the head is used throughout Vedic culture, even by the state of sages. Hair, according to the Vedas, are some of the antennae of our body. The hair on the top of the head is associated with the sahasrara chakra, which helps to sense divine powers, enhances intuition, luck and connection with God. By the way, “mace” consists of two Sanskrit words – “bola”, which means strength, power, army and “van”, which means to own. The origin of the word “Sich” is also very interesting. In Sanskrit, it means a student who is willing to learn, as well as generous and willing to help.

Houses in the tradition of Ukraine.

The word hata comes from the Sanskrit word khadu.
In the Vedic culture, houses were often built from straw and clay, and drawings were painted on them, very similar to the drawings that can be seen on Ukrainian houses.
If you watch the adaptation of the Vishnu Purana, you get the impression that they filmed houses built in Ukraine. Plus, on the territory of Ukraine, clay dishes were widely used, which were also used in the Vedic culture.

Cities and rivers of Sanskrit (Vedic) origin are still preserved in Ukraine. Some of these names have been preserved in the European part of Russia, as it used to be the territory of Kyivan Rus.

• SEA OF AZOV – named after the mother of the Goddess Radharani, who was called Kirtida or Azovushka in Kyivan Rus. Translated from Sanskrit, “Azawa” means “the one who squeezes the juice of soma”, that is, the heavenly drink.
• UMAN is a city and region in Ukraine, named after the Goddess Uma, one of the names of Shiva’s wife.
• RAKHMANIVKA, RAKHMANOVA – in many regions of Ukraine and Russia you can find villages with such ancient names. In particular, near the city of Kryvyi Rih. Scientists have long confirmed that these names come from the word “Brahman”.
• RAHIV – one of the planets in Vedic astrology is called RAHU. SAKI – translated from Sanskrit means friends, friend, friendly settlements. Jankoi – Goddess of prosperity Lakshmi is often called Dajanaki after her father Janak. The Slavs called the Dnipro River Danapris. This word consists of two Sanskrit words “DANA” – literally means a gift, donation, alms, generosity and “PRIS” it can be attributed to the declension of the word “PRIYA”, which in translation means pleasant, valuable, beloved, affection.
• SOMA is a river that flows through the land of Vyatichi. This is the name of the Moon God. The Yadu Kshatriya dynasty originates from him, through which Dakh appeared on Earth. (In the Krishna Vedas).
• SIVASH is a lake in Ukraine, derived from the name of the Slavic God Siva (Shiva in the Vedas).
• KALITA is a city of Kyiv region. Translated from Sanskrit – “devoted”.
• BUDY is a town in the Kharkiv region, from the word Buddha, which in Sanskrit means “awakened”, “enlightened”. Only a small part of the names are listed here, there are many more of them.

About Religion.

It is the clothing of God, it is the way of knowing Him, or in other words – the tool of knowing God.
You can develop a relationship with Him through the Torah, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc.
finding wisdom in each of these Knowledges.
It is possible through the Vedas, since the Vedas are difficult to attribute to religion, they are a collection of ancient scriptures that help to better understand the world, its spiritual and material laws, consisting of many chapters, including scientific ones. Therefore, you can study the Vedas without departing from your religious tradition.

How to understand that knowledge is real.
True knowledge is preserved for millennia, it is preserved by the universe and God, and it contains true wisdom.
Imitating knowledge, a person reveals love in his heart, his actions become nobler, such a person brings creation and well-being into the world, this person is on the right path.
