Veda means knowledge and knowledge cannot be limited to any particular section of society. In fact, mantras from Vedas are used by temples to conduct poojas. Without Veda mantras, temples cannot exist. So it is apt that a temple dedicated to the four basic Vedas is being constructed in Kerala. It will be the first Vedic temple in the nation, according to the Center administrators.
The Kashyapa Veda Research Center will build a temple at the Kashyapa Ashram at the end of the month that will prominently display four Vedas in place of idols in an effort to draw attention to the Vedas.
Speaking to the media, Acharya M R Rajesh, Vedic scholar, and the founder of the Kashyapa Ashram said that the temple is built to draw attention to the Vedic texts' significance and importance in our lives and spiritual endeavors.
The Acharya further emphasized that other places of worship, such as churches or mosques, maintain their sacred texts, such as the Bible and the Quran, on the premises. The Vedas, however, which form the basis of Hinduism, are not kept in temples. He added that the foundation intends to build 108 such temples across Kerala.
The Vedic Temple's Chaturveda Pratishtha rites will take place on January 30 and 31 following the completion of the temple.
