Rishi: Swamiji, Pranam … I have registered a company in the functional area of Computers , and informatics solutions the name is Acharya Brothers Computing Incorporation , now I request to your kind feet that can u please provide me a vedic vakya as a punch line or mission line for this company …. I will assume that is your ashirwad for me.
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you.
“Prabhu hamare aur apke Dharam evam Dhan mein badotri karein”
or
“Hamara aur apka bhautik evam Adhyatmik gyan saath-saath unnati karein”.
These are the two mission-lines, based on Vedas, for your company in the form of ashirwad from my side. Bhautik unnatti means worldly progress in wealth, assets etc., and ahyatmik unnatti means spiritual knowledge.
Mala: Namaskar Swamiji, What does the Vedas say about Deepawli? What is Yama and Yami? Aur parmatma kyon duniyaan banai (why god creates this universe) Thank you and with regards, dhanyavad ji.
Swami Ram Swarup: Namaskaar, my daughter. According to Rigveda mantra 10/14/1, the meaning of Yam is ‘Time”. The base of time calculation is “sun”. Therefore, mantras tell that Yam (time) is son/progeny of Vaivasvatam i.e., sun. Rigveda mantra 10/10/9 tells the meaning of Yami as night.
The main history to celebrate Diwali is that on the day of Diwali, Sri Ram reached Ayodhya after the expiry of exile period and the people by lighting diyas showed their heartiest happiness on the pious occasion.
Why God has created the universe?
It is usually asked as to why God should create all this at all. Why indicates “mark of interrogation” i.e., question, that is, what is the reason behind? So, actually the above question will be what is the reason behind creation of the universe? Its answer will be that creation is eternal. A deep study of four Vedas reveals that God, prakriti and souls are called “Swayambhu”. Swayambhu means which has not been made by anyone. The universe is created from prakriti but prakriti is non-alive and God is alive. At a stipulated time (which is eternal) power of God (not God) acts in prakriti and universe is created. This creation is eternal then the power of God nurses the creation and automatically at a stipulated time, the final destruction takes place. So creation, nursing and destruction take place automatically at a fixed time. It means creation, nursing and destruction is eternal and God has not to decide or even think for the same. So question does not arise to put question that why God should create all this at all.
Freedom to the human beings to do good or bad deeds is also eternal and thus everlasting but God awards the result of deeds. So naturally, here also the question of grading etc., does not arise because such process is eternal and everlasting. It is only for the person to decide whether he follows true path of Vedas for long, happy life and to attain salvation or he wants to be indulged in illusion to do sins etc. God has nothing to do for the same, being eternal law. Keeping the above views in mind, to give or not to give freedom is now not a question please.
God has not only given the freedom to do good or bad deeds but he has blessed us with the knowledge of Vedas wherein other pious rules and regulations to live a long, happy life have been mentioned. For e.g.: In Yajurveda, God states that the best pious deed is Yajyen, to be performed by all. Then moral duties have been mentioned to be discharged. In Vedas, God has warned that if anybody will not obey the preach of God mentioned in Vedas then only the God will punish the defaulter.
So naturally, the sins are done when people do not listen to Vedas or do not make contact with learned Acharya. Yes, if God could not have preached us in Vedas to follow pious path. Then it would have been the fault of God only. But really, God is merciful and has showered all blessings upon us in Vedas to follow.
