Last time we discussed the Vedic history of material creation. Fast forward to the end of the Treta-yuga, a little over 5,000 years ago. The Vedic Empire controlled the entire planet. The earth planet was then known as Bharata-varsa, and its capital was the great city Hastinapura, on the Yamuna River near the site of present-day Delhi.
The Vedas clearly describe that the areas now known as China and the Orient, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, North and South America were part of that far-flung empire. At that time the Vedas were the standard system of knowledge for the entire planet, and Sanskrit was the universal language for all learned people.
The Vedic Empire was not exactly a dictatorship, but a federation of local rulers under one Emperor, who held court at Hastinapur. Vedic culture is very open and tolerant of local religion, social customs and language. It was simply recognized by all intelligent people that a world government based on esoteric spiritual principles is the best arrangement for the peace and prosperity of the worlds citizens. Government administrators had to be qualified as great warriors to defend the people against the criminally inclined, but they also had to be qualified in realization of the Esoteric Teaching and approved by the Vedic Masters.
The Vedic Empire was prosperous and opulent, with worldwide trade and decentralized light industry based on the natural production of minerals, food and other commodities. Poverty, homelessness and ignorance were unknown. Complete education according to ones tastes and abilities was available to everyone under government subsidy, and even the most humble household had fine clothing, jeweled decorations, and dishes and other utensils of pure gold. Only yogis and others who practiced renunciation of material enjoyment and a simple life of spiritual realization in the forest were without such opulence.
The Vedic civilization was very sophisticated. It is not that advancement of scientific thought and powerful technology are recent developments. The Vedic culture had extensive spiritual knowledge, vast environmental and natural resources, a high degree of ethics and development of the arts.
It also had space travel, communications at a distance, powerful smart weapons, intelligent computers and other high-technology systems. However, Vedic technology differs from current technology in that Vedic technology is based on spiritual power, not material arrangements.
The Vedic technology was a gift from the demigods of the heavenly planets to the citizens of the earth planet during their rule. It was a mystic technology operated by special mantras taught to people according to their degree of spiritual attainment. The higher degree of spiritual realization one possessed, the more powerful the mantras they were allowed to use. Since the Vedic technology operated according to the subtle material mystic power of the demigods, people in general were not encouraged to seek mystic powers for themselves, but to concentrate on developing purity of heart and genuine spiritual realizations.
Vedic warriors and kings were highly spiritually qualified and ruled with the benefit of the citizens foremost in mind. The Vedic Emperor was the most powerful warrior because, being the most spiritually advanced king, he had access to the most powerful mystic weapons. The subtle Vedic weapons technology described in the dhanur-veda, Mahabharata and other Vedic works allowed a single adept to defeat thousands of ordinary fighters. It also helped the Vedic Emperor maintain order and control over the remote areas of the world from his court in Hastinapur.
The entire Vedic civilization was based on spiritual realization—self-realization or realization of the Esoteric Teaching. No one could attain a high position in Vedic society without the appropriate spiritual qualifications, even if they possessed the requisite material abilities. Thus purity of heart and high spiritual character were valued over all other personal characteristics in Vedic society.
Spiritual training began at an early age, and vocational education was based on astrological analysis and thorough testing of the students aptitude for a particular type of work. Thus, a persons designation in Vedic society was not based on birth or economic status, but on a detailed and fair assessment of their character, interests and abilities.
