Historical records show that the Vedic culture and civilization had reached the pinnacle of glory some 5000 years ago
and it suffered a fall to its abysmal depth in later period .It was due to growing ignorance of the masses, and neglect
of scientific growth as shown by Swami Dayanand. Swami Dayanand gave the slogan “Back to the Vedas” because he realized
that the Vedas have been misinterpreted resulting in the western scholars calling them “Song of the Shepherds”,
but swamiji established that Vedas are the store house of knowledge.Even now Hindus are still in the dark to about
their basic text. Many people have different answers for the same. Many think it is -Bhaghavat geeta, Ramayana,
Mahabharatha but people are ignorant about chatur Vedas. The Vedas are the gospel (godspell) gifted to our culture
and spirituality. Hindu dharma is the oldest living religion in the world. It is the eternal religion which is ever
green and perfect. Its origin goes back to the earliest of times when man first needed a way of life to conduct
himself in the society.

Vedas are the eternal scriptures of man kind. Eternal scriptures are those that exist in the self same order without a change due to time and space. Vedas are such scriptures.
The aim of humanity must be happiness, uninterrupted by sorrow and the Vedas say it is possible. Dharma is the law of order in the universe. Its correct estimate is possible only by correct study of Vedas
and practice of the same in one’s life. Covering the vastness and immensity of the Vedas is akin to capturing a gigantic ocean in a small pitcher. How can we attain the true essence of the satya sanatan Vedic Hindu Dharma ?
Only through a Vedic scholar-“Guru”. What is the meaning of guru ? Who is a real guru ? Gu means “anthakara (darkness)” and ru means “nirodhikuka (eliminate)”. A person who leads us to light {wisdom).As mentioned earlier Hindus are
still in the dark about their ancient scriptures. There is no unity or uniformity among the hindus.In this man- eat- man world and for the struggle for power and fame people forgot their culture and tradition. Many questions and criticism
have been raised about Hinduism with reference to a)The number of Gods b)Animals, birds and other living beings being considered as gods. The answer to this is that the Hindu system of Gods is a celestial government which manage the universe and galaxies.
The supreme lord is all powerful, all pervading and in total control of the universe always. Mother Earth is inhabited by not just human being but also animals, birds, reptiles, trees, mountains and rivers and so on. All have a role to play on Mother Earth.

The Supreme Lord has his celestial govt. to assist him to manage the universe with all
living beings contributing their might. Due representation is given to all living beings. In short Hinduism embraces the whole gamut of living beings and has identified one in each species to represent them in the celestial govt. This explains the existence of various gods like Lord Hanuman, Lord Ganesha…..
Thus Hinduism is most comprehensive, accommodative and embraces all in its entirety by giving respect and representation to all aspects of life on Mother Earth.
The biggest achievements in the history of mankind are the culmination of efforts which had small beginings. Diligent planning coupled with the strong will power always brings success. One has to struggle, sweat and make sacrifices to be successful. It was the struggle sweat and sacrifice of one man-Dr.M.R.Rajesh which resulted in the formation of KVRF.
He is just an ordinary down to earth person whose main aim is to help the common people who are grappling in the dark as to what ‘SANATHANA DHARMA’ is. It is a frighteningly astonishing truth that society is rudderless, adrift on an ocean of hedonism without spiritual and moral guidance.
The fault lies with star gurus leading a very luxurious life in resort-like environs and confirming themselves to a few rituals only. These star gurus are often surrounded by the so called affluent people. The common people who witness these things come to the conclusion that religion and spirituality are meant only for people in the higher echelons of life. It is from such a disaster, acharya Dr.M.R.Rajesh raised his voice for propagation of chathur Vedas. He is not a messenger of god nor does he behave like one, but to us he is god sent as he is taking us to the deep recesses of Vedas which other wise would have been a complete mystery for us.
