रक्षार्थं वेदानाम्
एक कदम जीवन रक्षा की ओर!
Who is there in this world who does not want freedom, fearlessness, happiness, peace, contentment and joy? There is no one who wants sorrow. This is a universal principle and there is no exception to it. All living beings want to attain happiness and get rid of sorrows. But the irony is that fearlessness, freedom, happiness, peace, joy are not sold in any market. Today man has fallen into the deep abyss of ignorance that he is searching for doctors and medicines for physical health, not finding a way to live. Fearful of mental illness, an aimless life surrounded by anger, anxiety, tension and unforeseen apprehensions of future, human beings want to be treated with medicines. While he understands very well that medicines, injections etc. reach only the body, do not reach the mind and restlessness, anger, violence, fear, worry etc. are diseases of the mind and not of the body. No vaccine can be made for the mind. Yes, by putting intoxicants, painkillers in the body, unconsciousness can be created, but it cannot be called a blissful sleep. This is an artificial life, not a natural one, which is only making way for sorrow. No matter how much science keeps on giving confidence that it will solve these mental and physical diseases of human beings, but spirituality says that a person who removes/repels sorrow from medicines, money or materialistic objects and attains eternal happiness and peace. He will make atonement by crying.
Therefore, readers should not think that before this they have read a lot about this subject. So what if you have already read? Let this be another one. Somewhere we are making mistakes, the path to our destiny is lost, so the search for it should continue till it is not found. Who knows, maybe the next page of a book would change your life.
The page of life that you missed, read what you have read again with open eyes, or many pages have turned black by the harmful and decadent literature of modern world for which no one can compensate. It is very painful to regret later in life for not having the knowledge earlier.

Vedas (वेद)
solution to life's problems

Traitvad (त्रैतवाद)
The Vedas consider the separate existence of these three- God, souls(Atma) and Prakriti(material world). This philosophy is called Triatvad.
In this world there are souls, there is Prakriti(material world) and there is one God. Without these three, nothing can work. Just like, there is a doctor and medicine, but if there is no patient then it makes no sense. Even if there is a patient, there is a doctor and there is no medicine, then also there is no sense. There should be medicine, there should be a doctor and there should also be a patient. Similarly, there should be a shopkeeper, there should be a customer and there should also be a goods. Business cannot run without all three. Like teachers, students and books etc. all should be there. All these souls in this world are like patients and God is like a doctor to cure for disease and Prakriti is like a medicine to reach the goal. Without knowing the separate existence of these three, salvation(moksh) is not possible.
God (ईश्वर)

Soul (जीवात्माएँ)
The word Atma(soul) is derived from the Sanskrit verb "अत सातत्यगमने", which means the one who moves continuously or the one whose dharma is to make continuous effort is soul. It is animate(Chetan) i.e. with conscious power or it is full of knowledge.
It is subtle, stay at one place, immortal, eternal, imperishable, less powerful, less knowledgeable, the conscious comes in bondage with nature. The souls are innumerable, we cannot count them. Only God knows the number of souls.
Prakriti (प्रकृति)
It is the immovable and unconscious element which is also called matter. This inert matter is called "Prakriti" from which the world is made. The word 'Prakriti' prevalent in the world is used for the creation(Srishti) which is not correct. The construction or creation of something is called 'Srishti'. Another name of Prakriti is 'Maya'. Prakriti is not a name for nature or the world but the very basic matter that forms it. This is the material cause of the world, i.e. the the name of material from which the world was created is Prakriti. It is the smallest particle of the world, that is, the root of the whole world(raw material). Read more...
Sorrow (दु:ख)
