God is formless

Being formless there is no need for a statue or temple of God according to Vedas. As a matter of fact, you, I or every human being, lives in a body. Body is separate, we are called souls. Vedas say soul has no form even. Then also we know each other. 


For example even if you have not seen the photograph of King Ashoka/Akbar/Alexander then, you can know Ashoka/Akbar/Alexander by means of the study of his qualities. So is the case with God. 


If an aspirant really goes to his Guru and listens to Vedas like Shri Ram, and ancient kings and their public then he will be able to know hundred percent about formless God. 

Then comes realisation for which Vedas (especially Samveda) says that he who performs Yajyen, does jaap (according to Vedas) and practises Ashtang Yoga Philosophy while remaining in family like Shri Ram etc., he sure realises, being eternal law.


If we meditate concentrating outside our body which is also against Vedas/Ashtang Yoga Philosophy, then our attention will always naturally remain outside i.e., attached with the outer world i.e., decoration/music/dances etc. 

In that case the subject matter of God will be over. It will be converted into spending fun, doing dances and singing attractive songs by ladies and gents, which is totally against Vedas. 

Thus the chapter of praising God, True Acharya, Rishi- Munis, performing Yajyen, practice of Ashtang Yoga, eternal knowledge of Vedas etc., will be over.


It is also baseless to say that study of Vedas and practice of yoga philosophy is difficult. It is a self made story because Vedas are also called Shruti i.e., Vedas are to be listened first and not to be studied. So to listen to the Vedas, a learned Acharya is needed. 

The Acharya will explain the Ved mantras in the Yajyen in your own language i.e., in English or Urdu etc., and for an aspirant to do asan, pranayaam, meditation etc., is also not difficult. It is all difficult for those human beings, including present false prophets (who are against the Vedas), who are lazy, can't awake early in the morning to listen to Vedas and fail to do yoga philosophy. Those people are always after money, materialistic articles and pomp and show etc.


Vedas are not written or spoken by God. This knowledge emanates from God and originates in the heart of four Rishis as stated above. God is Almighty i.e., He has all powers. So He needs no assistance to do deeds of the universe. 


In the human body, an alive soul resides and the soul is dependent, the soul requires a mouth to speak, eye to see, hand to write etc.. etc. but not God. 

From His power God originates the knowledge of Vedas in the rishis without writing, or speaking etc. 

Vedas' knowledge is divine. 

The fundamental of the Vedas is that it was not written or spoken. The knowledge by the power of God originated about 1 Arab 96 crore, 8 lakh and 53,111 years ago. Then for the first time the four rishis of nonsexual creation started pronouncing the mantras by the power of God. 


God wanted them to know word meanings and sense of the mantras and therefore the rishis knew all. Then for the first time the four rishis started pronouncing the mantras. They taught the mantras to other ignorant people. 

Then more rishis were produced who knew the Vedas by heart by listening only. There was no paper, ink or pen there. 

The Vedas were being learnt orally and traditionally this process is yet in force. But mostly not by heart but taking help of the printed book. So printed books are not called Vedas but these are called samhita.


Samhita means the collection of Ved mantras. Therefore Present printed books cannot be considered as Vedas and will never be in future, but samhita. Kapil Muni throws light on this point in his Sankhya Shastra sutra 5/48:


नापौरुषेयत्वान्नित्यत्वमंकुरादिवत् ॥


says that when a rishi does tapsya in the shape of Yajyen, study of Vedas, practice of Ashtang Yoga then the Ved mantras still (now also) originate in the heart of the Rishi and the rishi pronounces the mantras. 


Those mantras are called Vedas, which emanate from God. So Vedas must first be listened (study) from alive Acharya (Guru who knows Vedas). Then only Samhita (books of Vedas) can help.


NOTE: GOD resides outside this Prakriti (where we are right now as we speak, read & act), hence our sense of " Prakritik '' form will never apply to GOD. GOD has a formless i.e Prakriti-less form which is naturally incomprehensible for an ordinary person to comprehend. ONLY an ASTHANG YOGI will be able to comprehend GOD's Formless Form.
