Veda means to Know, Knowledge. The Vedas is not Hinduism. The greatest concentration of the Vedic Tradition deals more with knowledge versus belief. Ayurveda Medicine, healthy living, meditation, yoga, Sanskrit, and Vastu/Healthy buildings etc., all come from Vedic knowledge. Hinduism developed in India as a religion but Vedic knowledge is more fundamental and universal to all.

The core understanding of Vedic Knowledge is- Consciousness is the only reality. You are consciousness. All knowledge emerges from consciousness, is structured in consciousness. The Universe, including ourselves, exists in consciousness.

Meditation is a route, a way to experience more fully our own consciousness, the greater universal consciousness and the nature of consciousness.

Vedic Knowledge provides answers to all unanswered questions i.e why there is pain and pleasure, rich and poor, healthy and sick; God - His qualities, nature and works. Soul – Its nature and qualities, souls of humans and animals; reincarnation – how does it happen, why one is born as he or she is. What is the purpose of life? What we ought to do?

The four main texts in the Vedic tradition are Rigveda · ‎Atharvaveda · ‎Yajurveda Samaveda

They correspond to the four directions in the mind completing the cosmic circle of universal knowledge. The oldest of the Vedas, the Rigveda, is focused on cosmic structure.

“Vedas are the most rewarding and the most elevating book which can be possible in the world.” Arthur Schopenhauer

The Veda texts state that truth, non-violence, patience, penance and spiritual uplift are the foundations of a human life. The Upanishads are largely philosophical works, some in dialogue form. They are the foundation of Hindu philosophical thought and its diverse traditions. Of the Vedic corpus, they alone are widely known, and the central ideas of the Upanishads are at the spiritual core of Hindus.‎
