Vedas are storehouse of knowledge, says Andhra Pradesh Governor S. Abdul Nazeer

Vedas are the storehouse of knowledge and these sacred texts help in self-realisation and peace, Andhra Pradesh Governor S. Abdul Nazeer said in his address at the seventh graduation ceremony of Sri Venkateswara Vedic University of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), at Mahati Kalakshetra in Tirupati on April 29 (Friday).

Mr. Abdul Nazeer said that Indians had inherited their culture and heritage of the Vedas. Stressing the need for spreading knowledge from the Vedas, he said that the TTD was working hard for the preservation and propagation of the Vedas.

“The Vedas contain spiritual and technical knowledge. Students who have pursued Vedic education should set the direction for the society. Thousands of years ago, our forefathers had excelled in mathematics, science, economics, technology, and astrology. Bhaskara’s mathematics, Dhanvantari’s medicine, Virata Samhita, Bharadwaja’s aeronautics, and Kautilya’s Artha Shastras are examples of this,” said the Governor.
