Aashu: Jab ashok ne kaling jeeta tab uske raja ka kya naam tha?
Swami Ram Swarup: Jab ashok ne kalinga jeeta tha tab Nandi Dev raja tha.
Hitesh: Pranam Swami ji, i have read some of your answers and your guidance and I am really very impressed. Swami ji, i am 25 and from last one year I have leaned towards sat karmas. I have downloaded Veds from internet and need your guidance how to start with them. Like you have mentioned in one of your answers that Yajurved 7/48 teaches that we should be doing pious deeds and God will award us according to that, but I didn’t understand 7/48, could you please help me.
I know you are a busy person, and dont have much time for stories but there is something I wanted to share because I believe you are truly a guru who can show me a path of spirituality. About 1-2 year ago, on TV I have heard about Brighu Samhita where Past present and future has already been decided, not our full karma’s off course. But we have to be lucky enough to reach it, because all the leaves are not available now. You can reach it only if its in your destiny to reach it. I never tried to reach it. Then 6 months ago one of my friend told me that there is a pandit ji and he knows Nadi Astrology, he may help you. Though i was not so impressed because he himself was not benefited with that. But I felt like going there with my friend and found this was also like Bhrigu Samhita, Nadi Astrology , You can read about it on wikipedia. It was my luck that I had to reach him when I have completed 24 and I started with 25th Year of my age. Because when i reached there, whatever he told me it was accurate. I lost two of my family members, and it was mentioned on my leaf. And there were so many things he told me that nobody could tell me except me or my family. He told me so many things for my future and he told me everything is good but I really don’t want to leave my sat karma’s because I know everything is good in future and I really like this, I love helping others, I love to help the needy and I want to continue doing that. And for that I am sure Vedas are true treasure for knowledge for me, which can guide me well. And also please tell me how can I meet you, I would love to do that so that I can learn much more directly from you.
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you. Thank you, please.

After studying the above books, you may send your query and get the Vedas to study.
The meaning of Yajurveda mantra 7/48 is as under:-
(Kaha ) Who awards the result of deeds?(kasmai) whom (Adat) awards the result of deeds.
Ans. (kasmay) the soul who desires (adat) God awards the result of deeds.
Idea is that soul who has desire to do deeds – good and bad and thus the soul does the deeds then in return God awards the result of deeds in the shape of happiness and sorrows respectively.
(Kamah)all Yogis are desirous of God (Daata) the God, donor of all worldly matters (Kamah) the soul who has desire (Pratigraheeta) gets all the worldly matters to live upon (Kaam) Oh! Soul, you have desire, so (Te) for you (Etat) I [God] have given you this order.
Idea- Everybody must understand that in this world soul desires and God awards the result of deeds done by soul.
Matter of nadi astrology is not given in Vedas. So, it is unauthentic. As regards Bhrigu Samhita, this matter is also not given in Vedas. Yes, no doubt, Vedas are true treasure to get the eternal knowledge and to destroy all our sins etc. You are always welcome, here please. You may contact my disciple to know the address and route to reach Ved mandir here. You are welcome, please.
My blessings to you.
Jay: Is brahma a rishi name and name of god? and is king and prime minister/president the same meaning according to vedas? and is vedas word of god or word of rishi guided by god if it is word of god i heard it says god is something so this must be somebody else speaking not god? and lastly what does bhavisiya purana say about the future? Thank you very much
Swami Ram Swarup: Yes, Brahma and brahm are the names of Almighty God but the meaning of Brahma is also a learned who has God knowledge of four Vedas. Presence of such Brahma is essential to organize Yajyen. King and president are the same whereas Prime Minister is separate from them. Vedas is an eternal knowledge which emanates directly from God in the beginning of every creation. So, Vedas are not the word of Rishi or God. In this connection, I also paste my answer as under-
Vedas’ Philosophy
God has made universe and blessed us with human body to do pious deeds to attain salvation only. He has not made any heaven or hell. All have to face the result of their deeds, good or bad here only, even by taking rebirth. (Rigveda mantras 10/135/1,2 refer)
God has not only made universe but has also given knowledge of four Vedas where answers to your and everyone’s questions have been given. There are four Vedas:
1. Rig Veda – gives knowledge of science, matter of the universe like sun, moon, air, body etc., etc.
2. Yajurveda – gives knowledge of all the deeds and duties to be performed by men, women, students, leaders, king, agriculturist etc., etc., etc.
3. Samveda – gives knowledge how to worship God who gives peace and long happy life etc. In this way, details of Yoga philosophy, qualities, supreme deeds and nature of the God are also given.
4. Atharvaveda – gives details of God, medical science and details of medicine etc.
Actually in four Vedas there is unlimited knowledge. Yajurveda mantra 40/8 says that God is everywhere, is Almighty, formless, devoid of nervous system, purest, away from sins and does not have to face any result of any karmas (deeds), knows every soul, knows what is in everyone’s mind, no body has made God, but God creates universe, has given the eternal knowledge of four Vedas and always gives the said knowledge at the beginning of every universe to know the science and deeds to all concern. Similarly four Vedas say about God that God is an omnipresent, omniscient, formless, beyond imagination and beyond calculation. Actually God has unlimited qualities. There is only one God who creates, nurses, destroys the universe and recreates. Atharvaveda mantra 4/1/1 also says that God gives the knowledge of Vedas at the beginning of the earth to four Rishis of non-sexual creation. And thereafter only public listens Vedas through Rishis Munis as yet and become learned. Rig-Veda gives knowledge of Almighty, Yajurveda gives knowledge of karmas (deeds), Samveda tells about worship-Yoga philosophy and Atharvaveda about medicines and God. Actually all Vedas commonly says about God also, so this is about Vedas in short. But the knowledge of Vedas is endless.
It is a fundamental law that knowledge is always given by somebody. Otherwise knowledge can’t be gained at any cost. If a new born baby is nursed well in a dense jungle and is not educated then he will not be able to gain any knowledge even if he becomes young or old. So we have to think about the origin of the knowledge prevalent in the world today. In this connection the Vedas themselves say that God gives this knowledge to four Rishis. As said by Rishi Patanjali in Yoga shastra sutra 1/26, God is the first Guru of the four Rishis. Yajurveda mantra 31/7 also refers. This is all in short about Vedas.
The Vedas are not a book, rather it is a knowledge originated in the heart of Rishis. At the time of beginning of the earth those Rishis preached Vedas by mouth and all others remembered the same orally. At that time there was no pen, pencil, paper, etc. This process of studying Vedas orally remained till Mahabharata time. Muni Vyas too remembered Vedas traditionally by heart. Then Muni Vyas for the first time wrote the Vedas on Bhoj patra about 5300 years ago. In 16th century when printing press came into existence then the Vedas were printed. Still Vedas are not those which have been printed but those which are preached by mouth by an Acharya/yogi and the printed Vedas are called Sanhita.
Now if somebody worships a statue etc., then it is their own creation please but Vedas deny. According to Vedas the best worship of the God is Yajyen for which all Vedas are self-proof. Yajurveda mantra 31/16 says that the learned persons worship God by Yajyen.
So many people have asked me that most of the scholars/preachers of different religion state that their religion incorporates all matters of the world including science. What about Vedas? I wrote so many Ved Mantras describing science matters therein. For example, Yajurveda Mantra 3/6 states “Ayam Gauhu Swaha Pitram Puraha Prayan Mataram Prishnihi Aakrameet Asadat”.
Meaning:
This earth revolves around the Sun in the space and it also rotates on its own axis. Vedas are eternal like God because Vedas emanate from God. Now, according to Vedas, this present creation is about 1 Arab, 96 crores, 8 lakh 53,111 years old. So are the Vedas but as said in Rigveda Mantra 10/191/3 the present creation is same as was the previous one and this process of creation is eternal. So are the Vedas which emanate from eternal God. This all concludes that Vedas are the oldest in this creation also and no other book of science, maths or pertaining to spiritualism is written before Vedas.
Like the above example of rotation and revolution of earth, the significance of whole present science is mentioned in Vedas. We can see that whatever is happening in the universe, is all according to the Vedas. For example, occurance of six seasons, actions of Sun, moon, process of death, birth, worship, yoga philosophy, atomic energy, agriculture, animal husbandry, knowledge of politics, administration, architecture, solar energy, knowledge of home appliances like mixer, grinder, business rules, about men, women, children, marriage, Brahamcharya, education, clothes etc., etc., i.e., knowledge right from a straw to Brahma is all in Vedas. God is Almighty and has unlimited powers. So through His power He is able to originate the knowledge of Vedas in the heart of four Rishis without pencil, paper, help of mouth or any other worldly assistance.
We, i.e., the whole world depends on Almighty God but God is forever independent. That is why, He is God. We are the souls who reside in human bodies. We need assistance of senses, perceptions, mind and body to do deeds but not God.
Nowadays, so many saints are writing books. What is the background to write their books? Background is clear that they have first studied or listened the preach from their Gurus, keeping aside the matter of truth or falsehood. And after studying or listening the same, they became able to write the books. So this is also fundamental law, based on which, the ancient Rishis first listened Vedas and when they became learned then only they wrote the Vedic books like Valmiki Ramayana, six shastras, Mahabharat (Bhagwad Geeta), Upanishads, etc., etc. So, first the knowledge of Vedas is initiated in the universe and afterwards other books come into existence.
Somebody may say that human beings have knowledge by their nature to create anything like books etc., but we see that the newly born baby who is nursed in a jungle, in the absence of knowledge of a learned person, he becomes incapable to do anything. Thus, he
can’t be M.A, M.Sc, doctor etc. So there are two types of the words and meanings. First, eternal which are from Almighty God and second, natural made by human beings. Eternal word meanings are always from Vedas i.e., from God. After listening/studying Vedas, human beings become learned and then too based on their own natural knowledge, they make their own words and meanings, literature etc. But it is very much clear that in the absence of knowledge of Vedas, no one can become learned. Nowadays, also people live in dense jungle and do not lead a civilized life because they are not learned as cited above. Vedas are not sects because they emanate direct from God and God is one for all human beings. God creates sun, moon, air, water, food etc., which are meant for the best use of all human beings for their long, happy life. So are the Vedas. So all human beings must accept Vedas as an eternal knowledge from God, for the benefit of whole creation.
Since, the matter of Bhavishya purann does not exist in Vedas, so learned do not accept it.
