The
Vedas contain keys both to cosmogenesis and to individual
transformation. They provide complete systems of both cosmic and
self-knowledge which are interrelated. Our true Self is the
universal Self and the world of nature is its manifestation. My
encounter with the Vedas extended to different branches of Vedic
science, particularly Ayurveda and Vedic astrology. This is not
something unique to me but inherent in Vedic knowledge that helps us
understand all life both externally and internally.
I started the Vedic Research Center
in 1980 to promote a deeper study of the Vedic mantras. This became
the American Institute of Vedic Studies in 1988 with additional
programs in Ayurvedic medicine and in Vedic astrology. But the Vedic
mantras remained thefoundation, support and goal of all these other
disciplines.
