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 265 - The Significance of Music


How fortunate is he or she who loves to sing or play an instrument!...Singing, playing instruments, dancing painting, and composing poetry are all various ways of expressing human emotions in a creative manner…Music is the highest way of expressing emotions…

Permit me to say that the many diseases of man are being researched here, there, and everywhere, but nowhere is there a research center helping people to rid themselves of the great inborn disease of human beings – loneliness. Every human being is lonely. Loneliness is actually the leading cause of death – only then followed by strokes, heart disease, and cancer – and it may even have a role in their development as well. Music, if used as either a preventive therapy or as a cure, can be a wonderful and powerful method of removing that great killer called loneliness. 

Among the different forms of music, singing is the first and most powerful. Next in order of importance comes the ability to produce music by playing instruments…Music is the highest way of expressing emotions…When I observe the effect of music on students, it is evident that those who acquire the taste for singing or playing music are happier than those who do not.

--from Indian Music, Volume 1, by Swami Rama
