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 276 - Myth and History


For some inexplicable reason, we have a hard time reading the Jewish scriptures as a people’s story, a people’s mythology, and instead read it as a people’s history. Myth is not fact; it is truth. By seeing it only as fact, we neglect its entire purpose, its truth, its wisdom.

--from The Judeo-Christian Fiction, by Rabbi Gershon Winkler

Quote of the Week 275 - Consciousness and the Human Brain


Neuroscientists still can’t agree on how to define consciousness, or how it arises in the human brain.
