The Vedic Civilization is the eternally living enlightened civilization, called Sanatana Hindu Dharma that traces its historical continuity from 1900 million years, the time period that marks the beginning of human civilization. This civilization flourished in the sacred land of Bharatvarsha, which is planet earth itself, yet specifically the land called 'Bharat' or 'Aryavrat' (India) below the Himalayas, the highest mountain ranges. The perfect protection by the mighty Himalayas and the surrounding seas have always awarded Bharat with best weather conditions and geography, allowing the most safe, peaceful atmosphere and abundant natural resources. All these Divinely arranged phenomena caused the flowering and spreading of the greatest Enlightened Civilization of the most evolved, conscious human beings who lived like Gods on planet earth.
On the banks of Ganges-Sarasvati Civilization, in the forests of Naimisharanya, inhabited by millions of awakened beings and those on the path of awakening, exists the all-knowing spiritual seat of infinite knowledge or Sarvajnapeetha – the Divine throne graced by the all-knowing, all-powerful, all-pervading Source of Consciousness embodied as the Adi Guru, the original Master. Under the canopy of the celestial wish-fulfilling Banyan Tree or Kalpataru, the Sarvajnapeetha vibrates the Sacred Knowledge, grasped by the Divine view of the Vedic Rishis, the eternal sages.
The Vedas (sacred scriptures) such as the Rig Veda and Puranas (cosmic history), such as the Ramayana, Mahabharat and the Srimad Bhagavatam, give detailed records about the congregations of sages and saints in Naimisharanya, presided over by Incarnations and Enlightened Ones such as Sri Veda Vyasa and Saunaka Rishi. Here were composed the world’s greatest scriptures and performed the grand sacrifices for world peace and conscious human evolution.
Naimisharanya, the Forest City of the Enlightened Ones
Naimisharanya is the ever-awake primordial forest city (in Uttar Pradesh), the Cosmic Energy-center that formed as the foremost and oldest Vedic University for humanity, where the foundations of Sanatana Hindu Dharma are rooted; untouched by the effects of any age.
“Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism is the
most powerful, most sophisticated,
most intelligent, most cutting-edge
presentation of the Truth left with the
possibility to evolve more, open for
the possibility of updation.”
- H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Thus, the epicenter of highest
learning, teaching, and transmitting the
sacred sciences was the Naimisharanya,
expanding into prestigious, global
residential universities like Nalanda
and Takshashila with extraordinary
education and research. Here,
knowledge transmission or deeksha
(initiation) and expression of siddhis
(mystical powers) happened by
the Guru Parampara, the lineage of
Living Enlightened Masters through
continuous disciplic succession.
The ancient Seers or Rishis and Enlightened Masters of the Vedic times, as a collective consciousness, instituted cosmic research and development centers, dedicating millions of years of spiritual practices for discovering, nurturing and protecting the sacred truths for humanity. Their original revelations and mystical discoveries were systematically recorded and coded as the Vedic scriptures and transmitted in its pristine purity through the oral tradition of Guru-disciple lineage. They had access to reservoirs of knowledge and powers that decoded every field – science, technology, meditation, healing, yoga, medicine, education and lifestyle.
