Dr Arnapurna Aacharjya, the Principal of Kanyasrama Mahabidyalaya, Dehradoon in the Uttarakhanda state was the Chief Guest of the meet. She spoke in length about the importance and relevance of the ancient script. As per her, the Vedas are the ancient holy books of the world. In most probability it can be ascribed as the first book of Knowledge. It is composed by the great sage Agni under instructions of a divine source. She dates back the scripture to the beginning of the universe. Since on those days, the alphabets were not invented, people passed on the scripture from one generation to the next by listening to the Gurus. It is otherwise known as \u201cSmriti\u201d. Which refers to something remembered by listening. The Vedas are the core structure of the Indian culture and traditions. It is also referred as the constitution of the God in administrating the universe. In a different version, it can be said, that the Vedas contain knowledge of every branch. Starting from literature, science, engineering, astronomy everything is stored in the Vedas. She advised the present youth to acquire knowledge from veda as it is the primary source of all modern education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Barada Prasanna Das, the President of the Club presided over the meeting. In his turn, he said that, due to different factors and circumstances the present generation is maintain distance from this invaluable ocean of knowledge.
