SATYA DHARMA( Eternal Religion):-
Vedas ordained the eternal principles for happy and peaceful coexistence on this planet ( Satya dharma) for the whole of mankind. It was the word; it was the “Law”. In the beginning Satya dharma was in its most pure form. It was universally practiced. As ages passed by, gradually, due to ignorance, foolishness, misconception, confusion and other human vices Satya dharma became polluted. At times the common man was misguided by the priests.
They spread ignorance and confusion amongst people and started acting as mediators or intermediaries between man and the Almighty. They preached that the practice of religion resides in temples and not in houses. God according to them, became resident of temples and not our pure souls. These and other confusions continued for thousands of years and the evil practices(Adharma) started ruling over the planet. The evil overpowered the pious. The conditions utterly became worst. The Bhagavadgita states “whenever the Satya dharma is trampled upon and becomes eclipsed by evil, I incarnate on the planet. I resuscitate the Vedas and protect the pure and the pious”. In such worst conditions the Almighty has to descend on the planet. Avatars come to fulfill the divine mission.
These Divine messengers, prophets, nabis, avataras, Buddhas have descended on the planet since the millenniums of known human history. They are like bright beams of guiding light or torches burnt into the darkest of nights to guide the humanity on the right path of Satya dharma. These prophets spoke the language of the people amongst whom they lived and they ate the food their brethren ate and wore clothes that suited the simple people of their country. They were like all other human beings, but still they were different. They were Divine. They were the incarnations of Almighty power. They had come to fulfill the Divine will. Sri Krishana warns “ only ignorant people regard me merely as a human being because they are not aware of my divine form”.
Various Prophets & Religions:-
The avataras, prophets and messangers reset the balance of the Satya dharma. They resuscitate the eternal message of Vedas. The avataras do not descend to create a new sect or religion. Messengers do not come to further divide the people amongst themselves for reasons of additional sects and groups. It would be an additional root of hatred. They do not wish to create a new sect but they merely undertake to cleanse the cobwebs and dirt of ignorance saturated on the otherwise clean mirror of Eternal religion. To justify what they preach the messengers are blessed with revelations in the form of divine words. Lord Krishana blessed humanity with Bhagavadgita. The teachings of Lord Buddha and Bhagvan Mahavira are Triptakas and Jain Agamas. Jesus Christ set forth “Holy Bible”. The divine messages given to prophet Muhammed were compiled in “ Holy Quaran”. The holy Avesta embodies the preaching of Zaratushtra. The teachings of Sikh Masters are set forth in “Guru Granth Sahib”. The principles of Judaism are stored in “old Testament”. All these and other revelations of messangers and saints are the Arsha granthas i.e. revelations of masters and seers. These revelations are based on the Eternal Religion Of Vedas. These messengers have laid stress on one or more principles given by Vedas. Lord Buddha and Mahavira vehemently propogated non-violence, discipline of body, mind and speech. Lord Christ reiterated the message of Love and purity of living. None of these messenger’s teachings are contradictory to Vedas, on the contrary they substantiate the fundamental principles laid down in Vedas. They repeat and resuscitate the message of Vedas in different languages. It is the general regulation or law that all revelations of Masters are based on Vedas. Amongst all spiritual scriptures Vedas is the standard of reference. No true prophet or avatara will preach anything contradictory to Eternal Religion. None has such right or capacity.
