Thakur's Vedic Ideals

  1. Thakur's Vedic Ideals are based on science, logic, mathematics and tune. He is trying to awaken the inner consciousness of the people, liberating them from superstition and dogma.
  2. Thakur says that no one is entitled to claim any credit for any invention here. We are all carrier and propagator of the universal truth. Like sun,moon, planets and stars, we are all workers of this great universe.
  3. Just as the tape recorder is not the singer, we are also not the discoverer of anything. Everything exists here for a purpose. We are a part of the tune of the eternal music and flowing with it.
  4. Our desire to reveal Nature's truth is also Nature's inherent gift because the object of Nature is to express and reveal her eternal tune to all.

What the Vedas Declare...

  1. In the Vedic times, each and everybody, be he king or a subject, rich or poor, were associated with the profession of agriculture. Agriculture used to be considered as a holy profession in Vedic period.
  2. Vedas declared that not a single soul must pass a day without food. There must not be beggary in society. In Vedic age, perfect order was maintained for an equitable food distribution system.
  3. In the Vedic age, there was no hoarding of food items or anything. The Vedas declared hoarders as evil-doers. They were termed as exploiters and the people were ordered to fight against such evil doers.
  4. The great knowledge within the great space are the Vedas.

 

True Religion is not Imagination

  1. What is intrinsically natural is religion. Pursuit of religion is to accept those inherent natural characteristics and follow them. Religion is not imagination or fanciful talks. Life itself is religion.
  2. Religion is thinking of your physical body and mind and how to develop and improve them all round, thinking of your society and environment. and how to bring improvement and welfare to it, and how to make the efforts gradually successful.
  3. Spiritualism embraces all things relating to providential, elemental and celestial. If any one of the earthly attributes of lust, anger, money, economics, sociology and politics is excluded, spiritualism suffers from mutilation.
  4. The conduct that follows one's consciousness is religion. The conduct that follows the course, norms and laws of nature is religion.
  5. Knowledge of truth is religion.
  6. Veda means knowledge. It originates from the root word Vidh, which means "to know". It reveals reality and truth in nature. The basis of Vedas is science and not dogmas, fear, anxiety, imagination or superstition.
  7. True religion is the right to equality, even of the smallest of creatures.
  8. To stand up against any wrong doing and evil and to destroy the untruth is an act of religion. That which is imaginary and unreal is not religion.
  9. In the law and system of Mother Nature from which flows this creation, there is no "second or inferior". Unity and oneness are religion.
  10. Inequality and man-made divisions are anti-religion.
  11. Religion is realism. Analysis of matter will lead to the realization of the supreme substance, and the relation between the conscious matter and total conscience.
  12. That power which is holding everything is religion.
  13. True religion is that which is founded on and guided by thought, reasoning, conscience and intellect.
  14. Work alone is religion and there is no necessity of wearing the dress of a mendicant or renunciator. Birth itself leads to renunciation. The world itself is an ashram or hermitage.
  15. Religion is not anybody's private property and cannot be separated for individuals. All living creatures have equal right to true religion. Religion is one for all living beings on this planet, although there may be many versions of it.
  16. Everybody has great attachment for his own self" i.e. to his physical existence. If this boundary of "self-ism" is widened and extended enough, much of what is beyond the self could easily be brought within one's reach. From one-self, to family, to community, to society, to country, to this planet and to life beyond.
  17. The intrinsic force of mind to caution us in each action is the manifested power of the conscious mind or the innermost consciousness. This consciousness is everywhere.
  18. True religion is to protect this sprouting of the conscious wisdom-tree through various strata of the seedling of inner consciousness, to nurture and nourish its growth in a conducive environment.
  19. The references in the Vedas about gods and goddesses merely represent different manifestations and forms of Nature. Idols of gods and goddesses were conceived solely with the objective of social reformation. They were created for transforming this earth into a heaven and not for transporting men to heaven.
  20. True import of gods and goddesses, worship and festivals having been lost in oblivion as people are now blinded with superstition and prejudices. That is why Society is divided and crippled in all respects today.
  21. The essence of Vedic Religion is self-less service to others, full devotion to good work, maintenance of order, harmony and spirit of co-existence in society.
  22. Materialism is, therefore, the main ingredient of Vedic Religion. It is a religion of objective materialism. In the Vedas, we find social development projects, economic structure, political discourses and scientific analysis.
  23. Religion, as such, is not without reality. We cannot segregate Politics, Religion, Sociology or Education into water-tight compartments as all these subjects are inter-connected and have to be applied for the good of the people. Religion is the sum of all disciplines.Religion is righteousness, and righteousness is Politics. One is the ice and the other is water. Politics without religion is like curry without salt.
  24. The essence of our sacred scriptures is that you must be guided by your inner conscience. There is no difference in the fundamental knowledge of the ancient Vedas and the Science of this modern Age. One is the formula and the other is the application.
  25. The Vedas proclaim the Holy names or Mantras, i.e. incantation as the means of emancipation. The impossible can be made possible and the object aimed at can be brought under control through the power of incantation.
  26. Birth and death, sunrise and sunset, tide and ebb, life present and life beyond, are all mutually related. One does not exist if the other is eliminated. So is mind and body, spiritualism and realism.
  27. If the Vedas are to be propagated and established, first, our duty will be to unmask and to hold out before all what is going on in the name of religion.
  28. Trading in the name of religion is the gravest crime. Religion has been reduced to a business activity at present. Thousands of innocent people are cheated by corrupt practitioners posing themselves as holy men.
  29. Every human being is holy. Everything in nature is divine. The seed of Truth in every being is not obliterated. It is remaining suppressed because of the pressure of conventionalism. When the awakening comes, it will grow into a mighty tree.
  30. Life itself is religion. Birth itself is renunciation.
  31. We cannot hold on to anything here, not even our body. Every day everyone is proceeding towards Death. The heart beats like the alarm clock - tick, tick, tick - reminding each one of us of the limited time span.
  32. Human body is akin to a musical instrument - a body Veena. It has musical notes like Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni. The infinite tune of Mother Nature 'is already implanted in our bodies that can be aroused.
  33. Human experience owes to Vedas the discovery and location of the seven centres of psychic and spiritual energy, known as "Chakras" in the subtle or astral bodies.
  34. The whole human body with its biological and psychological processes becomes an instrument through which the Cosmic Power reveals itself. All that exists in this Universe also exists in the individual body.
  35. If we can analyse one human being, we shall be able to analyse the entire universe because all is built on the same plane. Real religion or spiritualism is the search for the whole truth within, so that one may realise one's Inner-self, unfolding the basic reality of the Universe.
  36. The problems and difficulties of this mundane world are among the tunes by which spiritualism can be mastered. They in fact, act as steps of a ladder to go up in higher consciousness.
  37. Nature's tune covers the main theme of all the tangible and intangible aspects of creation. One must search for the truth amidst nature's creation instead of dwelling upon imaginary things.
  38. Religion is the tune or spirit of co-operation, coexistence, selfless service-which holds and runs through the entire Universe. Religion is the balance or attraction which holds this creation in its present form and structure.
  39. Do your worldly duties, lead an honest life in search of truth, and truth will itself dawn on you. As one feels hungry without any effort, religion too will manifest of its own.
  40. All of us are born Sannyasi or Religious Mendicant. So an initiation into Sannyas again is redundant. There is nothing fresh to renounce. Our life runs through the path of materialism but the destination is crematorium.
  41. Big or small, high or low, nature bestows her equal privilege on every creature without discrimination. Why then should there not be the same tune, the same principle of equality amongst all living beings?
  42. As the flower falls on the ground, its fragrance diffuses into the atmosphere, so also the physical body remains behind, but consciousness or soul merging with the sky, water and earth becomes one with the universal entity. It will then be realised that the infinite universe echoes the "self" or "I". All japas and meditation are meant for achieving this end.
  43. Maya or worldly attachment can never be forsaken or abandoned nor is there any need to shun it because Maya or attachment is "attraction". Love, fondness, communion, etc. are only different terms for the word "attraction" In this creation, forces of attraction exist between each and everyone. The sun and the earth are united with mutual attraction. Everywhere, whether it is between air and water, tree and soil, water and food, attraction or Maya exists. This mutual attraction amongst all is the very source of religion or spiritualism.
  44. The object of Religion is to " Liberate yourself, help others to liberate". To do this, it is necessary to liberate your society of ail evils.
  45. Karma or Work is worship. Karma or Work is religion. Karma is the universal truth. Just as the spirit of Karma or work exists in everything, so is the spirit of religion.
