Veda
means knowledge. Only a society organized on the principles of knowledge can
provide the individuals with a just, peaceful and happy life. However, the modern
society has ignored these principles; hence, exploitation (corruption, crime,
poverty, pollution, etc.), unrest (riots, terrorism, war, etc.) and
dissatisfaction (stress, depression, divorce, suicide, etc.) are widely
prevalent.
Veda
teaches us that everything within the universe is controlled and owned by
God. So, everyone should obey the laws
of God. They should accept only those things necessary for themself (set aside
as quota) and not seek ownership over things meant for others. Only then, humanity
can live in harmony with the universe, consisting of both dead (soil, water,
fire, air, etc.) and living (insects, plants, animals, humans, etc.) things.
The laws of God, if not obeyed, would punish us with natural calamities (flood,
drought, earthquake, tsunami, cyclone, etc.), humanitarian crises (genocide,
refugees, etc.) and psychophysiological disasters (epidemic and diseases like
AIDS, cancer, SARS, swine flu, etc.).
The
BACE Vedic Forum is an initiative of JNU students who are inclined towards understanding
the laws of God enshrined in the Veda and who actually implement them in their
own lives. Many students and young professionals in Delhi NCR have benefited from the process and they want
to share it with the rest of humanity in order to usher in a spiritual
revolution at the levels of social and individual consciousness.
