INTRODUCTION:

Electricity In Vedas For centuries, the history of India and in particular


Contact Him Hindu culture has been presented in the most
Black Out in London
distorted and falsified fashion. Most recently,
Western historians and Indian historians influenced by
the West, have constantly portrayed it in an
absolutely erroneous manner. The most significant
example of this type is the aberrant analysis has been
applied to the greatest and most profound Hindu
literature of all time, namely the Vedas.

For Hindus, the Vedas are of completely divine


origin. We believe that the Vedas are words of divine wisdom from the eternal source of Supreme
Consciousness itself. Over many centuries, men of supremely exalted wisdom called "Rishis"
compiled these eternal spiritual and natural laws into several volumes, which are called "Vedas".
However, according to self styled analysts like Max Mueller and thousands of Western as well as
pseudo secular Indian historians, the Vedas are nothing but a bunch of ritualistic hymns connected
with nothing more spiritual than charms and incantations. These people would have us believe that
the profound heights of spiritual philosophy that are expressed in the Vedas, are nothing short of
tribal superstitions upheld by a primitive people.

Of all the Vedas, none has been more maligned than the Atharva Veda. Many historians have even
gone on to say that it is nothing but "a manual of black and white magic". Such exceptionally
ignorant statements make it clear that sacred Hindu literature is being treated in the most
demeaning and prejudiced way. Take for example such statements as "Above all the principal aim
of the Atharva Veda is to appease the demons, to bless friends and to curse" by V.M. Apte, an

Indian writer of modern times, or " There are then numerous verses in the Atharveda, which
according to their character and often also in their contents, differ just as little from the magic
formulas of American Indian medicine-men and Tarter Shamans.." by Winternitz. These type of
views clearly demonstrate the prejudices and biased approach that Western-educated historians
bring to their analysis. Not only that, but it also shows that their views are conditioned by Western
outlooks and ideals, bundled with the misgivings that the Christian viewpoint displays in dealing
with anything mystical and alien to their own perception of "spiritual strictures of morality"

While reading the Vedas, one must keep certain facts in mind:

1. The Vedas are NOT historical accounts. They are not biographies of great kings and the
battles they fought with demons, nor are they mythical legends about emperors and intrigues
that existed long ago.
2. The Vedas date MUCH further back than any Indus Valley Civilization. Long before the
Harappans existed, these spiritual, scientific and natural laws had been collected by
numerous brilliant Rishis and compiled into several unified compositions, all of which were
given the general descriptive label of "Vedas".
3. The Vedas ARE compilations of the eternal laws governing human existence. Moreover
each of the four Vedas was a treatise on particular subjects, specific only to itself. The word
"Veda" itself means "sacred or pure knowledge" , having come from the root "Vid" meaning
ashoktiwari.tripod.com/eved.html 1/8
8/24/12 Electricity In Vedas
"Veda" itself means "sacred or pure knowledge" , having come from the root "Vid" meaning
"to know".

Of these, the Atharvaveda consisted of nine branches or sakhas, according to sage Patanjali.
These were:

1) Paippalada

2) Tauda

3) Munda

4) Saunakiya

5) Jajala

6) Jalada

7) Brahmaveda

8) Devadarsa

9) Charanavaidya

Of these nine, we know of only two, namely Saunaka and Paippalada branches. Even in this
incomplete form, the Atharvaveda was the source of development for such immense philosophical
systems as Tantra and practical systems like Ayurveda. Often, Hindu scriptures have been
criticised, as being too vague and full of profoundly difficult philosophical flights and abstract
concepts, that are impossible for the common reader to grasp. In fact, the Atharvaveda is a prime
example of how the majority of Hindu scriptures DO delve into practical and material matters that
affect everyday human life. The Vedas are a wealth of information, not only about philosophical
and spiritual ideals, but also invaluable reference manuals that clearly explain the laws governing
scientific phenomenon, practical applications, and the methods for utilization of awesome natural
resources. Scientists, mathematicians, manufacturers, computer programmers and many others can
greatly benefit from this vast repertoire of information and knowledge.

Although most people today concentrate on significant aspects of the Atharvaveda such as
medicinal plants and healing practices, many other fascinating subjects such as marriage rites, the
healing properties of water, atomic and solar energy, electricity, and the states of the Supreme
Consciousness are also discussed. (I will expound more on these subjects in future articles)

One of the most exciting topics covered in the Atharvaveda is electricity and specifically, the
detailed description of valuable applications that harness and utilize this immense source of energy.
Some of the applications described, include important specifications for a control system that
harnesses the intense power of electricity for use as a deadly weapon, utilization of hydroelectric
power for manufacturing and the fission properties of electricity. These are only some of these
amazing instances that clearly demonstrate how the most advanced scientific laws and
phenomenons are described in the Atharvaveda.

It will be fully apparent from the following verses that Electrical Energy and its properties were fully
understood by Vedic sages. It was definitely used in everyday technological applications as much
(if not more), as it is for us today. It is also clear that Vedic scientists knew far more about the
properties of electricity than us. It was not till very recently, that modern day scientists discovered
and began research on the potential usage of electrical energy in military science and related areas.

What these verses clearly demonstrate to us is the fact that Vedic Society was at an extremely
advanced state of technological advancement and fully utilized Electricity in innumerable productive
applications

I have followed a standard format to make identification of the verses easy. All of the verses have
been taken from Kanda (Book) XX of the Atharvaveda translated by Devi Chand. The Sanskrit
verses are highlighted in maroon where as their translations are highlighted in Blue. Each verse can
be referenced directly in the order of Chapter (Anuvaka), Hymn (Sukta) and Verse number.

NON-MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF ELECTRICITY:

According to the descriptions found in Atharvaveda, electrical energy can be utilized in many useful
applications such as creation of powerful engines, illumination, agricultural machinery, hydroelectric
power plants, manufacturing plants, biomedical engineering, extraction of medicines, etc. and thus
serve to greatly enhance the daily life of people.

Chapter 1: Hymn VII

Verse 2: Nav Yo Navati Puro bibhed bahvotjasaa


Ahi Cha vritrahaavadheet
ashoktiwari.tripod.com/eved.html 2/8
8/24/12 Electricity In Vedas
Ahi Cha vritrahaavadheet

Electricity , which breaks, by the energy of its arms the 99 cities, destroys the cloud,
which covers the rays of the sun, the source of all energy and power.

This initial description describes the inherent properties of of electrical energy. Here the "arms of
electricity" refers to positive and negative currents. The 99 cities refers to the 99 elements, as
known to modern day scientists. In Vedic terminology, these essential elements were known as
"Bhogas".

Verse 3: Sa na Indrah Shivah sakhashwavad gomadvavama


Urudhaarev dohate

That very electric power may be our peaceful friend, providing us with the horse-power to
drive our machines, light to light up our houses, and power to produce grains in the fields.
Let it bring on prosperity and well-being for us by flowing into numerous currents.

These verses clearly refer to the various useful applications of electricity. The mention of horse
powered driving machines is a direct reference to electronically powered vehicles like automobiles,
aircraft, etc. In our times, even prototypes of electric cars are a very recent development. In the
present era, Electric car prototypes were created due to the dawning realization that gasoline fuel
is a perishable resource as well as polluting to the environment. It looks like thousands of years
ago, our Rishis were already aware of these dangers and used electric engines in their vehicles, as
one of their primary modes of transport as well as for motors, etc. for other types of machinery.
This verse also clearly mentions that electricity was used to light up buildings, just as we do today.
In addition there is a reference to electrically powered agricultural machines, which helped in the
manufacture and processing of crops from the fields.

Verse 4: Indra Kratuvidang sutang somang harya purushtut


Piba vrishaswa taatripim

Let electricity, so highly spoken of by many learned people, help extract the essence of
medicines, thus produced by those, who are well-versed in manufacturing things. Let it
keep safe and shower, on us the rain, satisfying all.

In modern times, we have discovered that certain electronic devices such as centrifuges, deep
refrigeration, etc. are extremely helpful in deriving medicinal extracts. Apparently our ancient
scientists were well aware of these methods and perhaps even more advanced than us in their
knowledge. The last sentence refers reverentially to the role of electricity, which in the form of
lightning is instrumental in creating life giving rain for the entire planet. The picture that emerges
from these verses is that of an extremely advanced culture, that utilized superlative technology and
yet maintained an enormous respect and reverence for the ecosystem and the natural environment.
The proponents of Vedic culture saw spirituality everywhere, and held sacred the power of all
divine forces, from water, to electricity. Not only this, but they had analysed the properties and
laws of all these natural energies and thus comprehended perfectly the best way to utilize them.

Chapter 3 :Hymn XXXI

Verse 1: Taa Vajrinam Mandinam Stomyam mad indram rathe vahato haryataa haree
Purunyasmay savanaani haryata indraaya somaa harayo dadhanwire

Those two speedily moving forces of attraction and repulsion propel the electric current,
powerful like the thunderbolt, pleasant and praiseworthy, in this pleasant plane or car.
Manifold are the generating powers for the refulgent electricity borne by speedy moving
Somas – various kinds of liquid fuels.

Verse 2: Arang Kaamaay Haryo dadhanwire sthiraay hinvanharayo Haree tura


Arvadbhiyor Haribhijorshameeyate so asya kaamam harivantamaanashe

The above mentioned speedy forces of two kinds set in motion strong currents, capable
of maintaining steady progress in the attainment of one’s objective in plenty. Whatever
complex is attained by these fast moving horsepowers, is enough to achieve the beautiful
objective of his, the manufacturer.

Here the principles of electromagnetic force discussed are being used to generate motion. In
addition, the reference to a liquid fuel propellant, informs us that a combination of high-speed and
intense electrical power was used to produce a number of favourable results like exceptionally fast
vehicular modes of transportation, as well as efficient manufacturing processes. For example,
extremely fast centrifugal force is used to separate genetic materials in Biomedical labs today. The
combination of speed and power is certainly desirable to increase the efficiency of manufacturing
plants.

Chapter 2: Hymn XV
ashoktiwari.tripod.com/eved.html 3/8
8/24/12 Electricity In Vedas
Chapter 2: Hymn XV

Verse 2: Adha te vishwamanu haasadishtaya aapo nimneva savanaa havishmatah


Yatparvate na samasheeta haryata indrasya vajrah shnathita hiranyayah

Just as all productive works of the manufacturer depend upon waters flowing down with
speed, so do all the desired objects of him depend upon you (Electricity), as its powerful
striking force cannot be obstructed by any cloud, or mountain in the way. It smashes all
impediments, with its radiant energy.

This verse acknowledges the immense power of electricity and proves the Vedic community’s
understanding of its intensity. Electricity does have the power of striking through any element. The
portion about productive works depending on waters flowing with speed is an obvious reference
to harnessing hydroelectric power. It is obvious from this verse that Vedic society was well aware
of methods that harnessed the power of electricity through systems like hydroelectric power plants.
Once harnessed, they incorporated the force to implement manufacturing concerns and power
machinery.

Verse 3: Asmay Bheemaaya namasaa samadhwara usho na shubhra aa bharaa


paneeyase
Yasya dhaam shravase naamendriyam jyotirkaari harito naayase

O well-versed engineer make use of this terrible electric power fit to be utilized for useful
purposes by controlling it, for non-violent, brilliant light like the dawn. It has the
potentiality to help hearing, control energy and spread light in all quarters.

This confirms the fact that electricity was a topic that was researched and explored in great detail.
Skilled electrical engineers used to devise specific utilities and controls for electric power.
Illumination was certainly one of its widely used applications. From the last line, we can also glean
the information that electronic devices were used as hearing aids and sound magnifiers.
Sophisticated systems for controlling electricity and measuring electricity were in place, and
electronic panels that aided in controlling other forms of energy were also used.

MILITARY USAGE OF ELECTRICITY:

Now let's turn to the truly amazing descriptions of electricity being utilized as a weapon in military
combat. Up until very recently, modern day scientists were not even aware of this potentially
devastating aspect of electricity being utilized as a weapon. It is only in the past decade or so, that
scientific research has begun concentrating on the potential use of Electricity as a deadly weapon.
Electrical bombs can be utilised to destroy all sorts of vital equipment and inflict massive damage.
Topics like the EMP effect and the consequent possibilities of using electrical weapons, were
rudimentary information to Vedic people, wheras we have barely begun our explorations on this
topic.

The ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) effect was first observed during the early testing of high altitude
airburst nuclear weapons. The effect is characterised by the production of a very short (hundreds
of nanoseconds) but intense electromagnetic pulse, which propagates away from its source with
ever diminishing intensity, governed by the theory of electromagnetism. The ElectroMagnetic Pulse
is in effect an electromagnetic shock wave.

This pulse of energy produces a powerful electromagnetic field, particularly within the vicinity of
the weapon burst. The field can be sufficiently strong to produce short lived transient voltages of
thousands of Volts (ie kiloVolts) on exposed electrical conductors, such as wires, or conductive
tracks on printed circuit boards, where exposed.

It is this aspect of the EMP effect which is of tremendous military significance, as it can result in
irreversible damage to a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment, particularly computers
and radio or radar receivers. Subject to the electromagnetic hardness of the electronics, a measure
of the equipment's resilience to this effect, and the intensity of the field produced by the weapon,
the equipment can be irreversibly damaged or in effect destroyed. The damage inflicted would be
the same as that of striking the equipment with huge bolts of lightning.

Computers used in data processing systems, communications systems, displays, industrial control
applications, including road and rail signalling, and those embedded in military equipment, such as
signal processors, electronic flight controls and digital engine control systems, are especially
vulnerable to the EMP effect.

What amazes one is the fact that Vedic Rishis clearly KNEW about the EMP effect and have
composed vivid descriptions of the usage of electric weapons as the verses below will
demonstrate:

Chapter 2: Hymn XV

ashoktiwari.tripod.com/eved.html 4/8
8/24/12 Electricity In Vedas

Verse 6: Twam tamindra parvatam mahaamurum vajrena vajrinparvshashchakartitha


Avaasrijo nivritaah satarvaa apah satraa vishwam dadhishe kevalam sahah

Just as the thundering electricity reduces the vast cloud to nothing by its thunderbolt, so
do you, O King, equipped with piercing weapons like the thunderbolt, smash into pieces
the vast armies of the enemy, consisting of various units, by your striking power like the
thunderbolt. Just as the waters of the cloud released by the electricity, fall down and flow
over the earth, similarly the well-equipped armies of the enemy; being subdued by the
might of the king are duly regulated by him. Truly do you alone, O King, hold all the
power to subdue the foes.

The inference is quite obviously to weapons utilizing electricity. "Piercing weapons like the
thunderbolt" is a clear pointer to surges of exceedingly high voltage. The lethal electric weapons
are used to counter various units of the army. This is another clue, for as discussed above, the
EMP effect can be used to advantage for a number of targets ranging from computers, to
communication systems. Apparently electricity was employed as one of the primary weapons in
military combat during the Vedic era.

Chapter 4: Hymn XXXVIII

Verse 5: Indra Idhyorah sacha sangmishal aa vachoyuja


Indro vajri Hiranyah

Electricity is well mixed up with Prana and Apana, the 2 horsepowers, yoked to power of

speech. Electric power has the striking power of a deadly weapon and is full of brilliance.

Here we find it stated starkly that electricity has the striking power of a deadly weapon. There can
be no greater proof of the deployment of electrical weaponry during the Vedic era. An interesting
suggestion is also made in the first line of this verse, that electrical energy is also present in the form
of Prana and Apana, within the human body. "Prana" means "breath " according to Tantra Yoga,
wheras "Apana" is the Prana that exists in the area below the navel. According to Tantric thought
Prana is charged with negative ions while Apana is charged with positive ions. When Prana is
forced to enter through the central canal (Sushuma or Brahma Nadi) in the spinal column, the result
is fusion of the negative and positive ions. This fusion generates an immense amount of energy,
which awakens the dormant energy called Kundalini that lies at the base of the spine. Once
Kundalini or the vital life force is awakened, it destroys the ignorance of the mind and results in
enlightenment.

We know now of course, that the cerebrospinal system is a great generator of electrical energy
and has a fantastic network of nerves that serve as connectors. The cerebrum as it is called keeps
on providing electrical energy. Through fine nerves, this energy is constantly supplied to the
organism, providing life force. Thus we can see how these and other type of systems described in
the Atharvaveda have a purely scientific basis.

Chapter 3: Hymn XXX

Verse 1: Pra te mahe vidathe shansisham hari pra te vanve vanusho haryatam madam
Dhritam na yo haribhishcharu sechat aa tva vishantu harivparsang girah

O electricity, I fully praise thy two forces of protection and destruction in this great
universe, which is a great sacrificial place or battlefield of life. I highly cherish your
beautiful exhilaration, destroying the evil forces of the enemy. You shower various forms
of fortunes through your blessing powers of speedy action, like waters from the clouds.
Let all praises find their abode in you of charming splendor.

Here again, we find the mention of the dual nature of electrical energy. It can be destructive as in
the EMP effect, and it can be protective as in the cerebrospinal system.

Verse 3: So asya vajro harito ya aayso harinirkaamo harira gabhastyoh


Dhumni sushipro harimanyusayaka indre ni roopa harita mimikshire

Here is the blue-green colored thunderbolt of iron of the king. There is also the beautiful
horse of iron of high speed. Here is also the horsepower of the rays of electricity. There
is also the shining arrow, capable of destroying the pride of the enemy and having a very
high speed. In short many kinds of weapons have been made through electric power for
the king.

These verses appear to be describing different sorts of electrical weapons. The "beautiful horse of
iron of high speed" apparently refers to some type of metallic car/aircraft which can reach
extremely high speeds. The horsepower for the engine for a craft or automobile of this sort was
provided by electricity. The "shining arrow" can mean an exceptionally powerful ballistic missile
loaded with an electric warhead. The missile was superfast and probably covered vast distances, it
ashoktiwari.tripod.com/eved.html 5/8
8/24/12 Electricity In Vedas
loaded with an electric warhead. The missile was superfast and probably covered vast distances, it
was apparently one of the main weapons that could be used to target the central command and
control center of the enemy. Here we find a reference telling us that many advanced weapons
utilizing electricity had been deployed in this era.

Verse 4: Divi na keturadhi dhaayi haryato vivayachadvajro harito na ranghaya


Tudadahi harishipro ya aayasah sahastrashokaa abhavadharibharah

Like a radiant spot, it is well placed in the heavens, then with a high speed, the terribly
destructive missile, made of iron, possessing speed of electric power, crushing the
serpent natured enemy, becomes lit up with thousands of lights and loaded with
destructive ray of various kinds.

This makes the previous verse even more apparent. The missile being described seems to generate
immense power and would be exceptionally destructive. It is possible that the electric weapons
used by Vedic society may have been equivalent in destructive power to nuclear weapons, or
perhaps even more lethal. They may also have been used for preliminary strikes before the actual
use of nuclear weapons. A conventional electronic combat campaign, or intensive electronic
combat operations, would initially concentrate on saturating the opponent's electronic defences,
denying information and inflicting maximum attrition upon electronic assets. The massed application
of electromagnetic bombs in the opening phase of an electronic battle would allow much faster
attainment of command as it would destroy electronic assets at a much faster rate than possible
with conventional means. After this phase, it would be child's play to completely destroy the
enemy.

Chapter 3: Hymn:XXI

Verse 7: Yudha yudhmup ghedeshi dhrishnuya pura puram samidam hansyojasa


Namya yadindra sakhya paraavati nibrahyo namuchi naam maayinam

O mighty King, you can easily get at the striking power of the enemy by your
overwhelming striking force. Being well-entrenched in your sheltered place of defense,
you can thoroughly break the defenses of the enemy to smithereens. Completely crush
the deceitful enemy, unfit to be left alive, through your faithful ally, although stationed at
a distance.

This particular reference is apparently to a remotely controlled electronic weapon system. This
verse directly points to unleashing a tremendously high voltage surge that can blast into the
defensive electrical equipment belonging to the enemy. The last sentence describes remote initiation
of the bombing sequence, while the controller is stationed at a safe distance.

Verse 8: Tvam karnyajmut parnayam vadhistejisthayaatithigvasya vartani


Tvam shata vaddagridasyaabhintpuronaanudah parishuta rijishvana

O mighty electricity, you kill the violent enemy, equipped with speedy means of
communication like cars or airships, a hindrance in the way of people who are worthy of
respect, cows or land by your consuming and splendorous power. You shatter the 100
forts of the adversary who obstructs your communications or breaks your regulations and
does not pay tribute to you established by straightforward negotiations.

In the case of electricity, 100 forts refers to 100 elements. It breaks all these through the power of
fission, overcoming all resistances and obstructions in the way. Any trained electrical engineer must
have complete knowledge of the complex laws and limitations governing electrical energy. There is
an evident respect for electricity demonstrated here, for it is an awesome power indeed. Transport
infrastructure can also be destroyed with the use of electromagnetic bombs. Railway and road
signalling systems, where automated, are most vulnerable to electromagnetic attack on their control
centres. Significantly, most modern automobiles and trucks use electronic ignition systems which
are known to be vulnerable to electromagnetic weapons effects.

Modern land warfare doctrine emphasises mobility, and manoeuvre warfare methods are typical
for contemporary land warfare. Coordination and control are essential to the successful conduct of
manoeuvre operations, and this provides another opportunity to apply electromagnetic weapons.
Communications and command sites are key elements in the structure of such a land army, and
these have concentrated communications and computer equipment. Therefore if the enemy is
attacked with electromagnetic weapons, the entire command and control of land operations would
be completely disrupted. Employing tactics like launching an initial attack with electromagnetic
weapons would create a maximum of confusion, and if followed by an all out attack with
conventional weapons would completely obliterate the enemy.

Verse 9: Tvametam janrajyo dwidarshaabandhuna sushrvasopajagmushah


Pashisht sahastra navati nava shruto ni chakrena rathya dushpadavrinak

O electricity, you can by your circular motion like the wheel of a chariot, which is too
ashoktiwari.tripod.com/eved.html 6/8
8/24/12 Electricity In Vedas
O electricity, you can by your circular motion like the wheel of a chariot, which is too
powerful to be checked, well keep under control all these 20 basic elements, 6099 organic
and inorganic bodies, by a single transmitter of high quality, with no other force to help it.

In technological terms, coupling is the means to create an electric connection of two electric
circuits by having a part common to both. One of the mechanisms, which can be exploited to
improve coupling is the polarization of an electric weapon's emission. Polarization simply means
orienting the emission in a particular direction. If we assume that the orientations of possible
coupling apertures and resonances in the target set are random in relation to the weapon's antenna
orientation, a linearly polarized emission would only exploit half of the opportunities available. A
circularly polarized emission would exploit all coupling opportunities. A single transmitter of
superior quality can control the entire emission.

Verse 10: Tvamaavitha sushravasam tavotibhistava traambhirindra tuvrayaanam


Tvamasmay kutsamatithigvamaayum mahe raagye yoone arndhanaayah

O electricity, you keep in safety this good listening set, by your means of safety and
protect the commander, with speedy mobile forces by your strong means of defense. You
control the sharp weapons, equipped with the striking power of limitless time and speed
for this great, youthful king.

Other electronic devices and electrical equipment would also be destroyed by the EMP effect.
Telecommunications equipment can be highly vulnerable, due to the presence of lengthy copper
cables between devices. Receivers of all varieties are particularly sensitive to EMP, as highly
sensitive miniature high frequency transistors and diodes in such equipment are easily destroyed by
exposure to high voltage electrical transients. Therefore radar and electronic warfare equipment,
satellite, microwave, UHF, VHF, HF and low band communications equipment and television
equipment would all be destroyed by the EMP effect. This verse apparently refers to a defense
mechanism created with the aid of electricity, which protects both the commander as well his entire
system of wireless communications. It may be referring to some sort of shield which makes things
unsusceptible to the emission. The advanced and deadly missiles of unlimited speed are controlled
by electronic control panels.

Chapter 4: Hymn XXXVII

Verse 4: Tvam nibhinirmano devavitao bhooreeni vritraa haryashava hansi


Tvam ni dasyum chumuri dhuni chasvaapyo dabhitaye suhantu
O electrical currents of high voltage, safely carried by electric wires, you kill many
enemies in the war, waged by learned persons or through the help of natural forces. To
keep all the evil forces under control, you, being well-equipped with good means of
destruction completely lay down to lasting sleep (death) the evil forces that rob and
harass the general public.

This verse is a simple testament to the intense power and utterly destructive force of electrical
weapons

CONCLUSION:

There are many more such references to electrical energy in the Atharvaveda, however in the
interests of keeping this article to a reasonable length, I have not reproduced every one of them.
The discovery of such amazing truths in the Vedas, clearly undermines the very foundation of our
smug assertions that Civilization and scientific advancement proceed forward in a linear fashion. It
is high time for us to thoroughly analyse and learn from the invaluable resources that our forefathers
have left us in the form of the divine Vedas and other profound Hindu literature.
