2/The Smritis are secondary scriptures recorded through memory by human origin ).

3/The Upanishads are known as Vedanta( which means Final Goal of wisdom. Veda is wisdom & Anta means end)
The ONENESS of Soul and GOD lies at the very root of all Vedic thought. It is the IDEAL OF UNITY OF ALL LIFE & ONENESS OF TRUTH, makes UPANISHADS appealing to modern minds.

1/ #Vedanta preaches "INFINITE & finite in one" & declares-"COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS(BRAHMAN) alone is the REALITY-the SOURCE of apparent threefold divisions of knower, knowledge&known in the mind of individual consciousness of ego, creating a world-drama of names&forms.

2/It is only by using the finite intellect & the tools of meditation, non-attachment, renunciation, love for the love's sake thru Yogas of Karma, Bhakti, Jnana & Raja, a Yogi reslises the INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS OF BLISS, AN ABSOLUTE STATE OF ONENESS IN TRANSCENDENTAL STATE.
3/A Yogi meditates & merges his lowerself of body, senses & mind into his HIGHER TRANSCENDENTAL SELF of COSMIC-CONSCIOUSNESS to enjoy the OCEAN of Nectar & Absolute Bliss.
This TRANSCENDENTAL Non-Dual State is the only REALITY declare #Vedas.

शिखाबन्धन (वन्दन) आचमन के पश्चात् शिखा को जल से गीला करके उसमें ऐसी गाँठ लगानी चाहिये, जो सिरा नीचे से खुल जाए। इसे आधी गाँठ कहते हैं। गाँठ लगाते समय गायत्री मन्त्र का उच्चारण करते जाना चाहिये ।शिखा, मस्तिष्क के केन्द्र बिन्दु पर स्थापित है।

There are many misconceptions about whether Mantras can bring about material benefits.
As per the Vedic view, Sadhana is not a substitute for the right Karma or action.
The results come from #Karma alone.
However, when hard work is backed by the right thinking, Sadhana can begin to work wonders.

The Vedic literature is composed of many books. The oldest texts are the Rig-veda, Yajur-veda, Sama-veda, and the Atharva-veda.
It is said in the Muktikopanishad that these four Vedas had 21, 109, 1000, and 50 branches respectively, with over 100,000 verses.

A #thread about some #myths of #languages and #scripts (of #India): 🧵(I wrote in Kannada earlier)
Every language including #Sanskrit comes in spoken form first & later in written form. Most languages are dated by the earliest time when a written record for them is found. 1/17

#Samskrta can be considered an exception, where we have record of the spoken word before we see its written form. This is because the #Vedas were preserved in a speech form for millennia before being written down. In case of other languages, this is not so. 2/17
For ex: First written record of #Kannada date to 2-3rd C CE. But this does not prove Kannada did'nt exist prior to 2nd CE. It is better to inferwriting was introduced/adapted to Kannada then. In fact we see how the script used to write Prakrit in as adapted to write Kannada 3/17

The #AryaSamaj was founded on 10 April 1875 at Bombay (#Mumbai) by Swami #DayanandSaraswati. This monotheistic order laid stress on the values laid down in the #Vedas & was against idol worship.
As a counter to the proselytizing Abrahamic faiths like Christianity and Islam, the #AryaSamaj launched a reconversion campaign called #shuddhi. As the #HinduMahasabha grew in the 1920s, many #AryaSamaj leaders joined it. Shuddhi became one of the Mahasabha's driving forces

What was the genuine reason behind a "wedding" according to the Vedas?
To truly understand this “genuine” reason behind a wedding, we must first know Vedic nomenclature; thus its important that we start with some linguistics.

To truly understand this “genuine” reason behind a wedding, we must first know Vedic nomenclature; thus its important that we start with some linguistics.
#SanatanaDharma #Vedas #Vedic
A wedding in Sanskrit is “vivāha” - it is comprised of two roots:–
vi = viśeṣa - specific or particular.
vāha = bearing, carrying, transporting.
So it refers to the taking on, or accepting of specific burdens or responsibilities.

A clean copper plate is put in an earthenware vessel.
It is covered first by copper sulfate and then moist sawdust.
After that put a mercury-amalgamated-zinc sheet on top of an energy known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna.
Water will be split by this current into Pranavayu

The three ayurvedic body types, or doshas, are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each type of dosha has a unique set of characteristics and the body type of a person depends on their physical and emotional attributes.
To maintain good health and state of mind it is necessary to know your dosha, in order to practice a suitable diet, exercise, and lifestyle pattern.
