22 June 2011, Video Post - “Why Veda for the Masses?”


Swami Sri Atmananda, inspiration and guide to the Vedic Research Institute, addressed new scholars after their first month of fellowship and on the arrival of the global director, Dr. Ravi Prakash Arya, on 10th June 2011.

His talk demystifies and clarifies Veda even for a common man. Click here to read an excerpt from Dr. Aryaji’s talk.
