Om Swastiastu sahabat Dharma dimanapun kalian berada Semoga semua dalam keadaan baik dan sejahtera

Sebelum kita mulai ilmu pengetahuan ini

Izinkan saya berdoa terlebih dahulu agar kita mendapat manfaat dari ilmu pengetahuan yang suci ini

Ya Tuhan Yang Maha Pencipta

Lindungilah kami dari segala kejahatan

kutukan serta kesalahan dalam mempelajari ilmu pengetahuan ini

anugerahkanlah segala kebajikan yang bermanfaat bagi kami

Sahabat Dharma seperti yang kita ketahui bahwa kitab suci agama Hindu adalah Weda

namun tidak semua umat Hindu mengetahui ajaran Weda

Hal inilah yang mendorong saya untuk membuat konten video ini Mari kita sama menyelami ilmu

pengetahuan yang suci ini sebagai pedoman hidup kita sehari-hari agar menjadi lebih baik

Sering kita jumpai pertanyaan-pertanyaan di kalangan masyarakat mengenai kitab suci Weda Seperti

apakah sejatinya Weda itu

Apa saja yang diajarkan dalam kitab suci Weda

Apakah Weda hanya boleh dipelajari oleh kalangan tertentu

Apakah ilmu pengetahuan sains modern saat ini juga ada di dalam Weda

Tentunya jawaban dari pertanyaan-pertanyaan itulah yang akan kita selami bersama di channel ini

Hai sahabat Dharma

sejatinya Apa yang disebut sebagai kitab suci Weda

Jika dikaji secara etimologi dan semantik

kata Weda berasal dari urat kata kerja Obiet yang artinya mengetahui

sedangkan Weda artinya pengetahuan

Dalam pengertian semantik Weda artinya pengetahuan Suci atau kebenaran sejati

Weda

bukanlah susastra tunggal namun

Weda adalah keseluruhan susastra yang muncul sejak Tuhan menyebabkannya langsung kepada maharsi dan

diturunkan serta diteruskan dari generasi ke generasi pada saat turunnya Sabda suci Weda

Tuhan senantiasa menunjukkan kemahakuasaannya untuk memberi izin kepada penerima Wahyu agar mengerti bahasa yang digunakannya

Hai serta Tuhan senantiasa mewujudkan dirinya baik berupa Dewata

Awatara

Batara

maupun guru-guru suci lainnya saat Wahyu ini diturunkan

Sabda suci ini bukanlah diterima dari mimpi ataupun karangan semata

melainkan

didengar langsung oleh para maharsi dari Tuhan itu sendiri yang senantiasa mewujudkan dirinya di setiap zaman

Para resi menerima wahyu berfungsi hanya sebagai instrumen atau sarana dari Tuhan Yang Maha Esa untuk menyampaikan ajaran sucinya

terhadap pernyataan ini suami dayananda Saraswati

menyatakan bahwa Weda adalah Sabda Hyang tunggal yang bersifat abadi

suami dayananda Saraswati pun menambahkan bahwa

retweet yajurweda

samaweda dan atharwa Weda berasal dari Tuhan itu sendiri yang sempurna

ada beberapa cara seorang resi penerima Wahyu Tuhan yaitu melalui frananda

upanisad

darsana

dan Awatara

Suara Nanda yakni Gema yang diterima para resi dan ke m sebut berubah menjadi Sabda Tuhan

kemudian Wahyu itu disampaikan kepada para siswa di asrama para maharsi

Kemudian ada upanisad yaitu pikiran para resi dimasuki oleh sap dan brahman

sehingga pikiran resi itu berfungsi sebagai sarana yang menghubungkan Tuhan Yang Maha Esa kepada para siswa resi tersebut

sehingga Sabda resi itu disebut Mahaguru yang menjadi sarana dari brahman itu sendiri

Yang ketiga adalah darsana

darsana merupakan seorang yang menerima wahyu Weda mendapatkan pandangan keep dengan mata rohani

yang mampu melihat Dewata secara langsung

yang keempat adalah Awatara yakni

manusia berhadapan dengan Awatara Tuhan seperti halnya Arjuna menerima wejangan Suci Bhagawadgita dari Sri Krishna

Lalu timbul pertanyaan yang ada di dalam benak kita

bahasa dan tulisan apakah yang digunakan oleh para maharsi pada saat Sabda suci ini diturunkan

Pada saat itu bahasa tulisan belum dapat ditemukan sehingga

para maharsi pada saat turunnya ilmu pengetahuan Ini

mendengar serta mengingat

apa yang disabdakan oleh Tuhan Yang Maha Esa

hingga akhirnya seorang maharesi telah mampu memperkenalkan serta mempopulerkan bahasa Sansekerta

sebagai sebuah bahasa untuk mempermudah mengajarkan Weda dimasa mendatang

maharsi ini bernama maharshi Panini

ia berhasil menulis Kitab ya karena

sebuah kitab tata bahasa Sansekerta yang terdiri dari tahap yang dikenal dengan nama

astadi Ayi

kitab ini mencoba mengemukakan bahwa bahasa yang digunakan dalam Weda adalah bahasa Dewata yang dikenal dengan nama

daiwiwak atau Sabda Dewata dengan Hurufnya yang bernama Dewa negari

Namun bahasa Sansekerta tidaklah mutlak diucapkan saat doa sehari-hari karena

doa adalah cetusan hati atau bahasa hati yang mudah kita pahami agar doa itu dapatkan berkat

akan tetapi bila kita berdoa dengan mengucapkan mantra seperti contoh Mantram Gayatri dan hampir yang Jaya

maka bahasa tersebut wajib kita pahami karena

jika sekedar mengucapkan saja namun tidak mengerti artinya

hanya akan menjadi sia-sia saja

hal ini diuraikan dalam kitab nirukta ia satu semoga 18 sebagai berikut

seseorang yang mengucapkan mantra Weda dan tidak memahami makna yang terkandung didalam mantrawedha itu

tidak pernah memperoleh penerangan seperti halnya sebatang kayu bakar

walaupun disiram dengan minyak tanah tidak akan terbakar bila tidak disebut dengan api

demikian pula orang yang hanya mengucapkan dan membaca mantra Weda saja tetapi tidak memahami artinya

sama saja tidak mendapatkan cahaya pengetahuan yang sejati yang terkandung di dalam Weda itu sendiri

lalu Apakah kitab suci Weda hanya boleh dipelajari oleh kalangan tertentu saja

jawabannya tentu tidak

sebab tidak lam yajurweda sendiri telah

memerintahkan bahwa Sabda suci ini dapat disampaikan kepada seluruh umat manusia

karya juru beda Adi ayat 26 sloka dua dijelaskan sebagai berikut a Hai

Dari uraian yajurweda tersebut kita sebagai umat Hindu wajib mengetahui wanita

untuk pedoman hidup yang lebih baik

akan tetapi sangat dilarang menafsirkan serta mempergunakan Weda untuk tujuan yang tidak baik

Begitu banyak nama Maha RSI penerima Wahyu Weda dari zaman ke zaman yang terhimpun di dalam Wita itu sendiri seperti

versi hidup Samada Maha RSI wiswamitra

Harsih wamadewa Maha RSI Atri

Maharsi bharadwaja Maha resi wasista dan maha resi Kanwa

Kemudian

kitab Weda ini disusun kembali oleh Marsih krisnadwipayana atau disebut dengan maharsi wyasa

kedalam 4 himpunan yang disebut dengan catur Samita

dibantu oleh 4 Hai orang siswanya yaitu Marsi pula ha

yakni menyusun riqueza

maharsi waisampayana

cek tuh menyusun yajurweda

Maha RSI jaimini yang menyusun samaweda dan harshest sumantu yang menyusun atharwa Weda

Selain mengajarkan ajaran rohani kitab suci Weda juga mengajarkan ilmu-ilmu lainnya seperti ilmu sosial ilmu
