Torah-Veda

An Interspiritual Journey
Find Your Inspiration and Follow It

WELCOME TO TORAH-VEDA

Torah and Veda are two ancient sources of spirituality still vibrant today. Torah is conveyed through the sacred language of Hebrew and Veda is conveyed through the sacred language of Sanskrit. The focus here is on meditation, mysticism, philosophy, psychology and the underlying spirituality that has been incorporated into religions, and not as much on the religions themselves. Your comments and posts are welcome.

Quote of the Week 419 - Listening/Hearing for Non-material Sustenance


Every one who is thirsty, come and drink. He who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good. Let your soul delight in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, that your soul will live…


--Isaiah 55:1-3, The Living Torah translation by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan

Quote of the Week 203 - Nothing Can Stand in the Way


As long as we remain inspired to discover why we came to this world, we remain youthful. Old age has no power over us when we are accompanied by faith that we have something precious to experience and achieve in this lifetime. This faith sparks a burning desire to know the true nature of the invisible force that lies at the core of our being, and when it wells up, nothing – not the lack of worldly resources, a limited knowledge of philosophy, the absence of a living guide, or even old age – can stand in the way of our inner fulfillment.

--Pandit Rajmani Tigunait

Quote of the Week 201 - The Everlasting Light


As we enter this season of celebration of Divine Light as a counter-balance to the shortest hours of daylight, I share with you this quote from the Prophets:

Quote of the Week 201 - The Everlasting Light

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and God’s glory has risen upon you…Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising…you will see and be radiant, and your heart will throb and swell with joy…I will exchange your brass for gold, your iron for silver, your wood for brass, your stones for iron; I will also make your officers Peace and your rules Righteousness…The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the moon give light for brightness. But God will be your everlasting light, and your God your glory. Your sun will no longer set, nor will your moon wane. For God will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning will be ended.

Isaiah 60:1-20 (Haftorah of Ki Tavo)
