Ati Rudra Maha Yajna Swami's Discourses
As Lord Krishna declared in Bhagavad Gita, "Whenever the practice of Dharma is on the decline and Adharma on the rise, I embody myself".
In accordance with this declaration, the Veda Purusha himself has to reincarnate for the revival of Veda Dharma. The great Yagnas and Yagas are to be performed not merely for attaining worldly benefits. In fact, the purpose of these krathus (sacrifices) is vedoddharana (revival of vedas), Dharama rakshana (protection of Dharma) and vidwath poshana (supporting the vedic scholars). If these three aspects are taken care of, where is the question of lack of peace and prosperity in the world?
The smrithi has also declared "Vedokhilo Dharmamoolam" which means all dharmas emanated from Veda only. Is it not a fact that the Githacharya in the Bhagavad Gita has declared "Vedaischa Sarvair ahameva vedyo Vedanthakrid Veda-videvachaham" (oh! Arjuna! Know that I am the One to be known by the Vedas). Thus the Vedas can be described as Mantras to propitiate the concerned devas (Gods). These devas reside in the vedic scholars who chant the mantras. That is why the Sruthi has repeatedly emphasised the point that it is a great sin to deride such vedic scholars.

Excerpts from the first discourse on 9th August 2006
As stated by the Pundit who just spoke, the ‘Athi Rudra’ consists of many Namakas and Chamakas. They sustain the human life. From where did this power come? The Namaka and Chamaka are taken from the Krishna Yajur Veda. It is an all inclusive Veda, from which the other Vedas, Sastras (scriptures), Ithihasas (ancient legends) and Puranas emanated. Unfortunately, today, the Vedas have lost their pre-eminent position due to poor patronage. People who take to a serious study of the Vedas and chant the mantras contained in them regularly have become rare. A regular study of the Vedas and practice of Vedic injunctions confer all forms of wealth on the human beings. The fundamental principles governing human life and destiny are contained in the Vedas. The Vedas are the gift of God for the welfare of the entire humanity. The Vedas make no distinction whatsoever on the basis of religion, caste, nationality, etc. The Veda mantras can be chanted by one and all. (Swami then called two boys from abroad studying in Prasanthi Nilayam and asked them to recite Sri Suktam).
It is Swami’s wish that the Vedas shall be spread to every country, so that every human being irrespective of religion, caste, nationality, etc., learns Vedas and chants them.
