vEda literally means Knowledge. The audio files in the following links present you the Knowledge as discovered by the vEdic R^iShis (Seers). shruti (right intonation) is extremely important for the recitation of the vEda. Please do not attempt to learn the mantras from the audio without the guidance of a qualified guru, since a mantra by definition should only be recited according to the right shruti. However, feel free to learn the stotras as they are not bound by shruti. The vEda mantras have been passed down orally for more than 6000 years without any change, either in their intonation or the content. The vEdas are the basis for the world's oldest and continuous civilization arising out of bhAratavarSha (India).
vEda dhvani (Sound of the vEda ) gives peace of mind when listened with reverence and renders the mind fit for contemplation. Please listen to these very sacred mantras with a clean body and a pure mind to enhance your spiritual progress.
Note: We have followed the ITrans scheme to transliterate Samskrita words in English letters to accurately represent Samskrita letters.
This website is dedicated to host audio files of vEda mantras and stotras recited by Sri Venkata Sastry. We have not reserved any rights for the audio files on this webpage as we feel nobody holds a right on the vEdas. Feel free to copy, duplicate, distribute, broadcast, share, or store in a retrieval system in any form or any means without any permission. The site is designed for the audio files to be downloaded and not for listening online. If you are wondering about the script for the samskrita words, they are transliterated in ITrans specifications.source:http://www.vedamantram.com
