JAMMU / YOL, Jun 15: On the 65th day of the ongoing 78-day Yajna Anushthan dedicated to all four Vedas at Ved Mandir, Yol, renowned Vedic scholar and Yoga Acharya Swami Ram Swarup Ji delivered a discourse emphasizing the significance of Brahmacharya (self-restraint and disciplined living) as a powerful means of attaining health, strength, and longevity.
Addressing devotees, Swami Ram Swarup Ji explained that the Almighty has provided profound knowledge in the 19th Kanda of the Atharvaveda regarding severe diseases and their remedies. Referring to Sukta 24, he said that men and women who preserve and regulate their inner strength through Brahmacharya develop a divine power capable of destroying diseases and bodily ailments. According to Vedic teachings, the strength generated through Brahmacharya is the supreme medicine, which not only eradicates diseases but also promotes a longer and healthier life.
He stated that Brahmacharya offers innumerable benefits and described the power arising from it as “Jangidah”, a term used in the Atharvaveda. This spiritual and physical force, he said, destroys disorders arising from the imbalance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha and helps individuals attain robust health and well-being.Swami Ji further referred to Sukta 37, Mantras 1–4 of the same Kanda, which contain prayers seeking divine radiance and strength from God. He explained that this divine energy destroys internal enemies such as lust, anger, pride, greed, and other negative tendencies. It also removes diseases, generates enthusiasm for righteous actions, and provides strength, vitality, and endurance to the body.
He emphasized that all these blessings are attained through the firm observance of Brahmacharya and sincere spiritual practice. The Vedas, he said, teach that to receive such divine strength from God, one must engage in Vedic study, Yoga practice, Yajna, and Agnihotra regularly.Swami Ram Swarup Ji cautioned that without adherence to these Vedic disciplines, human beings remain vulnerable to diseases, mental distress, anxieties, and suffering, leading to a life burdened with hardships. He urged devotees to adopt the path of Vedic knowledge and spiritual discipline to achieve physical health, mental peace, and spiritual upliftment.The 78-day Vedic Yajna Anushthan at Ved Mandir continues to draw devotees and seekers from different regions, providing a platform for the dissemination of ancient Vedic wisdom and spiritual teachings.
