Written by Ibn Muhammad<\/p>\n

The concept of Paradise or a similar concept is found in almost all religious scriptures. Arya Samaj\/agniveer rejects this reality, and hence we need to scrutinize it in detail. They claim that the difficulties and happiness of this worldly life are the NARK (Hell) and SWARG (Paradise) respectively. They claim that these are only states and not actual places. This claim is not only against the spiritual intuition of man, but also opposes the Vedas. Following exposition clearly proves this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Vedas, Paraside is mentioned by the names \u0938\u094d\u0935\u0930\u094d\u0917 (Swarga), \u0926\u094d\u092f\u094b (dyo), \u0928\u093e\u0915 (Naaka),\u0938\u0941\u0915\u0943\u0924\u0938\u094d\u092f (Sukratasya), etc. These words have always been used in combination with the Sanskrit word \u0932\u094b\u0915\u0947(loke) which means \u2018a place\u2019, \u2018a region\u2019, \u2018a world\u2019, all Locative cases. This proves that the word Swarga in the Vedas does not refer to any condition that affects an individual, but it is a distinct place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vedic Paradise is not on this earth<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Vedas Paradise is a place where only joy is found and misery is absent. This place is always mentioned by words which indicate that it is far from us; while as the present life is always mentioned by the words which indicate its nearness. If\u00a0Swarga\u00a0was only a state or feeling which one experiences in this world, it is illogical to speak of it as though it is found elsewhere. For example see the following mantras:<\/p>\n

7 O Pavarnana, place me in\u00a0that\u00a0deathless, undecaying world, wherein the light of heaven is set, and everlasting lustre shines. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra\u2019s sake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 Make me immortal in\u00a0that\u00a0realm where dwells the King, Vivasvat\u2019s Son, where is the secret shrine of heaven, where are those waters young and fresh. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra\u2019s sake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

9 Make me immortal in\u00a0that\u00a0realm where they move even as they list, in\u00a0the third sphere of inmost heaven\u00a0where lucid worlds are full of light. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra\u2019s sake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10 Make me immortal in\u00a0that realm\u00a0of eager wish and strong desire, the region of the radiant Moon, where food and full delight are found. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra\u2019s sake:<\/strong><\/p>\n

11 Make me immortal in\u00a0that\u00a0realm where happiness and transports, where Joys and felicities combine, and longing wishes are fulfilled. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra\u2019s sake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ( Rig Veda \u2013 Mandal\u00a0 9; Sookt 113, Mantras 7-11)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi2.jpg?w=689&h=698\"<\/p>\n

These references amply prove that Paradise is not in this world but it is a distinct place which we can only inherit after death. The mantras quoted above show that<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There is no death in Paradise<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is eternal<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is resplendent with eternal light<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0That world is under King Vivasvat\u2019s Son i.e. Yama<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It has fresh water<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is the third region<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Food is abundant there<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is the place of the Sun<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is a place where all desires are fulfilled<\/p>\n

Where is this Paradise?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having established that Vedic Paradise is not on this earth but is a distinct world altogether, we will now see where that Paradise is located. In several Vedic mantras, Paradise has been identified as the third region, the other 2 being the earth and space. Thus it is written in Rig Ved<\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi3.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the\u00a0third region<\/strong>\u00a0which distils a thousand streams, may the Exhaustless Ones descend with procreant power.\u201d\u00a0[Rig Veda \u2013 Mandal 9; Sookt 74; Mantra 6]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi4.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether, O Indra and Agni, you be dwelling in highest Paradise, in central region, or on earth, come hither, from wherever you may be and drink libations of the flowing Soma.\u201d\u00a0[Rig Veda- Mandal 1; Sookt 108; Mantra 10]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi5.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the\u00a0third heaven<\/strong>\u00a0above us stands the Asvattha tree, the seat of gods.\u00a0There the gods sought the Kushtha Plant, embodiment of endless life.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved Kaand 5; Sookt 4; Mantra 3]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi6.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMay we be free in this world and that yonder, in the\u00a0third\u00a0world<\/strong>\u00a0may we be unindebted. May we, debt-free, abide in all the pathways, in all the worlds\u00a0which Gods and Fathers visit.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved Kaand 6; Sookt 117; Mantra 3]\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi7.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cDwelling with zeal I mount in spirit after the lofty sacrifice as it departs. Agni may we, beyond decay, invited, in the\u00a0third heaven<\/strong>, feast\u00a0and enjoy the banquet.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved Kaand 6; Sookt 122; Mantra 4]\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi8.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the back of the earth, I have ascended to the mid space. From the mid space, I have ascended to the heaven. From the top of the heaven, the sorrow less world, I have reached the world of light.\u201d[Atharva Veda Kand 4; Sookt 14; Mantra 3]\n

 <\/p>\n

It is evident from all the above references that the Paradise promised in the Vedas is neither a condition nor or this earth. Rather, it is the third region above the earth and space, according to the sequence given in these mantras. Vedas speak of this Paradise being the third region in numerous other mantras, but I only gave few samples. These mantras also prove that real joy and happiness is found only there.<\/p>\n

How far is the Vedic Paradise?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most religions which speak of Paradise do not raise this question nor are required to answer it. It seems that Vedic Dharm is perhaps the only religion which addresses this question uniquely. Thus it is said,<\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi9.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis gold-hued Hansa\u2019s wings, soaring to heaven, spread over a thousand days\u2019 continued journey, supporting all the Gods upon his bosom; he goes his way beholding every creature.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved Kaand 13; Sookt 2; Mantra 38]\n

It is mentioned in Aitareya Brahman,<\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi10.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the heavenly world is at a distance of about thousand days\u2019 travelling on a horseback\u00a0(ashveen)\u201d [Aitareya Brahman- Panicka 2: Paragraph 17;\u00a0words in braces mine]\n

The ancient Indian Sanskrit Grammarian, Panini writes<\/p>\n

\u201cOne\u00a0ashveen\u00a0is the distance travelled over or traversed by a horse in one day\u201d [Ashtadhyayi- Book 5; Chapter 2; Sootra 19]\n

From these mantras we come to know that according to the Vedas the distance travelled by a horse in thousand days is the distance of Vedic Swarg from this earth. In other words, the distance of Vedic Paradise from the earth is about hundred thousand miles!!<\/p>\n

Who inherits Vedic Paradise and How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far the previous mantras also imply that Vedic Paradise is not a\u00a0Karma Jeevan\u00a0(world for performing deeds) but a\u00a0Bhog Jeevan(reaping the fruits of one\u2019s deeds). To know more about this, it is good enough to take a look at more Vedic Mantras.<\/p>\n

Atharva Veda says,<\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi11.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cJoy have you found, and left ill-will behind you: you have\u00a0attained the happy world of virtue.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved Kaand 2; Sookt 10; Mantra 7]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi12.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMay we, fame-seekers, reach the world of virtue by service of the Gharma and through fervour, whereby the Gods went up to heaven, the centre of life eternal, having left the body.\u201d [Atharva Ved 4:11:6]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi13.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWith milk and butter I anoint the mighty, celestial Goat, strong-winged, and full of juices.\u00a0Through him will we attain the world of virtue, ascending to the loftiest cope, to heaven.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved 4:14:6]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi14.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cStrongest is this, performed, of sacrifices: he has reached\u00a0heaven who has prepared Visht\u0101ri.\u00a0[Atharva Ved 4:34:5]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi15.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh up in heaven abide the Guerdon-givers: they who give steeds dwell with the Sun forever. They who give gold are blest with life eternal. They who give robes prolong their lives, O Soma.\u201d\u00a0[Rig Veda \u2013 10:107:2]\n

\u201cThe Goat Panchaudana, when cooked, transports, repelling Nirriti, to the world of Svarga. By him may we win worlds which S\u016brya brightens.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved 9:5:18]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi17.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026This wealth I place among the Br\u0101hmans, making a path that leads to heaven among the Fathers.\u201d [Atharva Ved 11:1:28]\n

To sum up, according to most mantras in Atharva Ved, feeding the Brahmins with milk and rice (Kheer), offering goats, gold, and otherDakshina\u00a0earns one Paradise. Displeasing a Brahmin gives you a one way ticket to Hell. In the Rigveda, often we find ways to earn Paradise by praying to the gods and as per Yajurveda \u00a0Paradise is earned by animal sacrifice.<\/p>\n

Of course, good deeds are also said to earn one Paradise as per the Vedas and other scriptures. Bad deeds earn one a place in Hell. The Judgement in the life hereafter based on the weight of good and bad deeds is mentioned in Shatpath Brahman as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, as to that balance, the right (south) edge of the Vedi. Whatever good deed man does that is inside the Vedi; and whatever evil deed he does that is outside the Vedi. Let him therefore sit down, touching the right edge of the Vedi; for, indeed, they place him on the balance in yonder world; and whichever of the two will rise, that he will follow, whether it be the good or the evil. And, verily, whosoever knows this, mounts the balance even in this world, and escapes being placed on the balance in yonder world; for his good deed rises, and not his evil deed.\u201d\u00a0[Shatpath Brahman- Kaand 11; Adhyay 2; Brahman 7; Kaandika 33]\n

In common Hindu parlance it is called\u00a0Dharm Tula\u00a0and in Islamic terminology as\u00a0Meezanul Amaal.<\/p>\n

Is Vedic Paradise physical or spiritual?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After presenting so many references regarding the world of Swarga, it was not necessary to again bring up this topic, because all the previous mantras abundantly prove that Vedic Paradise is not spiritual but a physical dwelling. However, the following mantras throw more light on Vedic Paradise:<\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi18.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Agni J\u0101tavedas, as he bore you hence to the Fathers\u2019 world, had left one single limb of your bodies, here do I restore it. Fathers, rejoice in heaven with all your members!\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Veda- Kaand18; Sookt 4; Mantra 64]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi19.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026The three-and-thirty Deities attend them. As such, conduct us to the world of Svarga. Unto the world of Svarga shalt thou lead us: there may we dwell beside our wife and children\u2026\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved 12:3:16,17]\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/truthabouthinduism.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/072614_0803_vedicparadi20.png?w=625\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThere where our virtuous friends, who left behind them their\u00a0bodily infirmities, are happy, free from distortion of the limbs and lameness, may we behold,\u00a0in heaven, our sons and parents.\u201d\u00a0[Atharva Ved 6:120:3]\n

All these mantras convincingly prove that Vedic Paradise is physical and material, where people will get material blessings. In my next article,\u00a0Vedic Paradise: The Inside Story,\u00a0we will take a look at the inner scene of the Vedic Paradise. All the mantras that I have produced till now, refute the strange, anti-Vedic view of Arya Samaj\/agniveer.<\/p>\n
