Ishwar Ka Pratham Updesh Yahi Kyo

Numerous sects in the world claim their own texts to be divine speech and strive as much as possible to make all humanity follow them. In reality, the true scripture for humanity must be one that encompasses the complete knowledge and science of the entire creation, enabling humans and all living beings to live happily, beyond which no other knowledge is needed. Only the One who created us all, fashioned this creation, and serves as its controller and dissolver can impart such knowledge. Does any text besides the Vedas meet this criterion? No.

What are the Vedas? According to the Vedic Rashmi theory, the entire universe—from subtle particles to vast stars—is formed from the hymns of Vedic mantras, and this has been the view of our ancient Rishis and sages. These mantras exist in the universe in their passyanti (subtle) state of speech. When human creation begins, four Rishis (Agni, Vayu, Aditya, and Angira) directly receive these waves from the cosmos into their minds. The inspiration of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, is invariably present in this process—or rather, the Supreme Soul imparts knowledge to humanity through these four Rishis. The first knowledge wave received in this sequence by Agni Rishi is:

ओम् अगिनिमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम्।
होतारं रत्नधातमम्॥ ( ऋवेद 1.1.11)

This mantra serves as the preface to the entire Veda—that is, the science of creation, worldly conduct, and spiritual science. In it, God instructs the first generation of humans on what they must do first, what kind of king or guru to appoint, and why it is essential to know oneself.

Readers can see in this book how extensive the exposition of a single Vedic mantra can be. Although this explanation is still concise, for the Vedas contain infinite knowledge. That is why Devraj Indra said: "The Vedas are endless" (Anantā vai vedāḥ). In this book, you will find three types of commentaries (adhidaivika, adhibhautika, and adhyatmika) on a single Vedic mantra. The Acharya Shri has attempted to revive the style of Vedic commentary that had nearly vanished. This book provides a threefold commentary on the mantra "Agnim īḷe purohitaṃ...". After an impartial review of the opening sentences of texts from various sects, it quotes the opinions of foreign thinkers on the Vedas. Following that is a detailed exposition of this mantra. At the end of the book, resolutions to numerous doubts from enlightened readers are provided.
