The Hindus received their religion through ancient Vedas, a word derived from Vid, "to know". They hold that the Vedas are without beginning and without end. It may be urged that these laws may be without end, but they must have had a beginning.The Vedas teach us that creation is without beginning or end. Science has proved that the sum total of cosmic energy is always the same.Therefore, there never was a time when there was no creation. To use a simile, we can say, creator and creation are two lines without beginning and without end, running parallel to each other. God is an ever-active Providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time, and again destroyed. It does agree with modern science too.

Vedas mean the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discovered by different sages at different times. Just as the law of gravitation existed before it's discovered, and would continue to exist even if all humanity forgot it,so it is with the laws that govern spiritual world.The discoverer of these laws are called Rishis, and we honour them as perfected beings. Vedas contain the essence of all religion but we do not think that they alone contain the truths. Vedas teach us the "immortality" of the soul.And this immortal and perfect soul must be the same in the highest God as well as the humblest man,the difference between them being only in the degrees in which the soul manifests itself.

Thus, every human being has a perfect divinity within himself, and each one must show his divinity sooner or later. Vedanta teaches us- call forth your soul, show your divinity. Teach your children that they are divine, that religion is a positive something, and not a negative nonsense.

If we cannot be the makers of our own fortune, then we are not free. The present is but the effect of the past. Some are born happy, and enjoy perfect health.....others are born miserable and only drag on a wretched existence. Why would a just and merciful God create one happy and another unhappy? So there must have been causes, before his birth, to make a man miserable or happy. Those are his own past actions. This is our Philosophy of Migration of the Soul.

Taking all this for granted, you may ask, how is it that I do not remember anything of my past life? That is because consciousness is only the surface of the mental ocean, and within its depth are stored up all our experiences. Try and struggle, they would come up and you would be conscious even of your past life.
