MESSAGE IS IMPORTANT

In the Vedic Sanatana dharma, it is the message that isimportant and the messenger is important as long as he is valid and bona fide, representing the message purely and transmitting it transparently.

In the Abraham tradition, it is the messenger that is important and the message is subordinate to themessenger.
The Vedic tradition is cyclical, and therefore eternal. It has hundreds of messengers who are bona fide and transparent. The original message remains unchanged.  Of course, the application differs according to time, place and people.

The messenger centric culture has the disadvantage of imposing rather than inspiring, because it does not believe in the succession of messengers, who are the bearers of the message.

Vedas are eternal, just as the creation is eternal. Vedas are nothing but nature's law. These laws are not manufactured by the great seers, but are observed by them, by doing unlimited tapasya (austerity). Brahma is one such great deer , who heard the knowledge of the Vedas from Lord Hari and experienced it. Another one was Vyasadeva who compiled all this knowledge. There is nothing in this process except receiving the message and imparting it as it is to other human beings.

An Educational Centre is recognized as long as the educationalists keep imparting the knowledge without changing the conceptual understanding given by the founder of the  Educational Centre. In that sense, an educational centre  is the knowledge house. Brahma is the founder and the other teachers are representing the Vedic knowledge in the footsteps of Brahma and even experience just like lord Brahma .

Any sources of knowledge or laws manufactured by the humans are fraught with human imperfection.Therefore, man made message is artificial and does not stand the test of time.

Thus, knowledge is what is important!!! And the teachers are important as long as they represent that knowledge perfectly.

It is the Vedas that are important. Respecting the messenger who perfectly represents the Vedic message,signifies the worship of the Vedas.

Thus, choose the kind of knowledge and its messenger which are nature friendly and compassionate to all.
