"The Four Vedas namely the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharva Veda are all emanations from the breathing of the great Personality of Godhead."



The Veda was the beginning of our spiritual knowledge, the Vedas will remain its end. The recovery of the perfect truth of the Veda is therefore not merely a desideratum of our modern intellectual curiosity, but a practical necessity for the future of the human race. For I firmly believe that the secret concealed in the Veda when entirely discovered, will be found to formulate perfectly that knowledge and practice of divine life to which the march of humanity, after long wanderings in the satisfaction of the intellect and senses, must inevitably return.

Saint Aurobindo

(Renowned freedom fighter and philosopher, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)

Believe that Veda be the foundation of the Sanatan Dharma. I believe it to be the concealed divinity within Hinduism, but a veil has to be drawn aside, a curtain has to be lifted. I believe it to be knowable and discoverable. I believe the future of India and the world depends on its discovery and on its application, not to the renunciation of life, but to life in the world and among men


Sir John Woodroffe

(Fr. Advocate General of Bengal: 1865 -1936)

An examination of the Vedic thesis shows that it is in conformity with the most advanced philosophical and scientific thoughts of the west and where this is not so, it is the scientist who will go to the Vedantist and not the Vedantist to the scientist.
