VEDIC THOUGHTS : ABOUT THE BOOK

However, more often than not, religious ceremonies with ever increasing rituals take away from the ultimate goal – finding peace of mind. In this book, Brigadier Chitranjan Sawant, VSM with over 50 years of public speaking behind him, gently takes us away from the superstitions of society and ritualistic religious ceremonies and guides us to the Vedic way of life.
The Vedic way of life which teaches ways of calming nerves through prayers, cleansing the air around us in our homes and hearth through `havan’ and working towards achieving the ultimate aim – Moksha – or salvation from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
The mantras in the four Vedas – Rigved, Yajurved, Samved and Atharvaved – have been given in original and their meanings explained in his lucid style. Are the senior citizens a burden on their families and society? More often than not, many of them feel so. They themselves too start feeling worthless and fear the future. However, quoting from the Vedas, Brigadier Sawant explains the importance of the role of senior citizens in society when they enter the Vanprastha Ashram or take Sanyas. He also advises them not to be afraid of either death or an uncertain future for death and rebirth are just passing phases in the journey of soul to salvation.
