May our purpose be the same; may we all be of one mind. In order for such unity to form, I
offer a common prayer. May our intentions and aspirations be alike, so that a common
objective unifies us all. Yajurveda preaches to us about the importance of Vedik Dharma.

य ु सवा िण भूतािन आ ेवानुप ित।
सव भूतेषु चा ानं ततो न िवजुगु ते ॥
But the one who sees all the entities or entities in the Supreme Soul and the Supreme Soul in
all the entities or entities, after having direct vision of the same soul everywhere, does not
shy away from anyone or hate anyone. he who sees everywhere the self in all existences and
all existences in the self, shrinks not thereafter from aught. The predominant dharma of
harmony is the proficiency of Vedic religion.

Vedic religion is a syncretic religion; therefore, it coordinates both aspects of life—instinct
and retirement. Irrespective of whether he is born in any class, caste, region, or nation, a
person is worshipped for his famous deeds. That is why it is good to remain attached to one
feeling without thinking about discrimination against others. Rigveda preaches, “अ े सो
अकिन सो ते सं तरो वहाद सौभागाय।“; No one is superior, no one is inferior. All are brothers
ु
marching forward to prosperity. Everyone should have the same path. Atharvaveda talks
about the importance of Vedic religion, ि य सव प त उत शू ।, which means to treat
ं
े
everyone equally and act in a way that is beneficial to all.
Vedic Dharma is not only a faith-oriented but also an action-oriented religion. Only good
deeds lead to man's salvation and कव ेवेह कमा िण िजजीिवषेत शत समाः ।; Doing really well in this
ु
्
ं
world means one should wish to live a hundred years. Thus it is in thee and not otherwise
than this; action cleaves not to a man. Vedic religion is a theistic religion, as it accepts the
authority of God. This world, with its immovable and inanimate things, cannot exist without
someone's action. The question of whether God is one or many establishes monotheism.
Some ignorant people believe that Vedas are about the worship of inanimate elements like
Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, and Indra, etc., but एक सि ा ब धा वद ि यम मात र ानमा :॥, that
ं
ं
ं
means, What people call Indra, Mitra, Varun, Agni, that power is only one, the sages call it by
different names. Just as one king has supremacy over many powers, in the same way,
monotheism also has supremacy over polytheism. As the sukt in the Purush Sukt says, “पु ष
एवेद सव यदभूतं य भ म् ।“; The Purusha is indeed All this (Creation) in essence; that which
्
ं
existed in the past, and that which will exist in the future.
There is a scientific truth that everywhere there are three things: a movement, a state, and a
destruction. The Vedas are said to accept that the existence of a single power is present in
the soul of the entire universe. That is why the Vedas accept Sagun and Nirgun worship, and
so we can find monotheism and polytheism in the practice of religion. Vedas determine to
believe in one God, even worshipping many with different names. According to
वेदधम ा ानम्, written by Dr. Madhusudan Oza, “All proclaim the power of the Supreme God;
they do not oppose each other. Actually, the name of God is the source of all the elements,
due to whose mixing or separation, the whole world collapses.” The Veda is used everywhere
in three senses: indirect, direct, and spiritual. We focused more on the spiritual and did not
make much effort to understand its direct and indirect scientific meaning. The knowledge of
these three meanings is found only in Brahma, the goal of the Vedic religion. Their mutual
