If one were to identify the problems being faced by our Nation to day
and list out in order of priority, the tasks facing us, following would be
considered as a reasonable blue print for future action:
It may come as a big surprise that this agenda is found given in the same
order of priority as the actions of the Prime Minister of the Country, and
in this chronological order, are the subject explained in Rig Veda 2.14..

RigVeda 2-14 Rishi-Gritsamda Devta-Indra
Sub: Adhwaryu †¬¾ÖμÖãÔ
Introductory note: - The term Adhwaryu has traditionally, come to
designate a person responsible for making arrangements for carrying out a Karmakand Yagna.
Rig Vedic interpretations available to day, from Sayan/ MaxMuller to later day Swami
Dayanand Saraswati, Shri Damodar Satawlekarji, Swami Satya Prakash Saraswati and
Shri Aurobindo , give very deep poetical interpretations of this Sukta. Wilson and
Griffith also make significant addition to the vast scholarship. However with the
traditional concepts which see the role of an Adhwaryu as limited to only the Karmakand
2
Yagna, the full significance of this Rigvedic Sukta remains at best, spiritually and
poetically masked.
But the same RigVedic Sukta lays bare its entire context, when the full life sized concepts
behind terms like Adhwaryu, Indra, Soma are given interpretations like Swami Dayanand
and Yogi Aurobindo.
RV2.14.1
†¬¾ÖμÖÔ¾ÖÖê ³ÖŸÖì−¦üÖμÖ ÃÖÖê´Ö´ÖÖ´Ö¡Öê׳ք ×ÃÖ˜“ÖŸÖÖ ´Öª´Ö−¬Ö„ …

(Indra represents the highly active charged entrepreneur character of a
person, perhaps its archetype is found in the capitalistic society, ie why Veda
calls Indra the rightist in
¤ü×ÖÖÖ ×¤ü×Ö−¦üÖêƒ×¬Ö¯ÖןÖÛßָüÛ¿“Ö¸üÖ•Öß ¸ü×ÖŸÖÖ ×¯ÖŸÖ¸ü ‡ÂÖ¾Ö„
and tells that one is apt to go astray from the right path under the
uncontrolled influence of Indra the rightist, for which the corrective action is
provided by the guidance shown by the elders the pitars.)
(Som on the other hand represents mind motivator and scientific knowledge
from researches, for the welfare of the society)
Adhwaryus should provide Som in good measure for the Indra for
the achievement of abundance and prosperity, nutrition, health and peace for
the land and those living off it. Motivated minds and mental attitudes, should be
developed by the Adhwaryus, to accommodate and create mental attitudes for
appropriate sustainable, physical facilities and strategies, as per demands and
growth. (Create the institution of Good teachers)
RV2.14.2

Harness those waters of rains, which are released by the actions of
lightening, which strikes the trees and sets them on fire. Thus work for
the creation of bounties of fertilized soil by rich biomass feeds and
prosperity of vegetation, as the gifts provided by Indra.
(All the futuristic strategies are for conservation of our water resources. Rain water
harvesting is the most significant item on not only Global level, but is of utmost
3
importance for India, particularly, when it is realized that the total water requirements of
entire India are just about 5% of the total rain fall in our coastal regions. And almost
100% of that rainfall just flows in to the sea.)
RV2.14.3
†¬¾ÖμÖÔ¾ÖÖê μÖÖê ¥ü³ÖßÓú •Ö‘ÖÖ−Ö μÖÖê ÖÖ ˆ¤üÖ•Ö¤ü¯Ö ×Æü ²Ö»ÖÓ ¾Ö„ …

Exercise control over natural calamities like the violent storms, which
with immense forces, play havocs like demons tossing all cattle and life
in to air and smashing on to the ground, which cause great upheavals by
disrupting life and property. These are brought about by the holes in
the protective garment, which covers the earth in the space. These holes
are like holes in a worn out old garment. Heal and repair the holes in
the covering, by actions of rain making clouds and atmosphere helped
by green vegetation and herbs by grace of Indra.
(Veda is referring here to calamities like the recent Tsunami. By saying that Tsunamis
are caused by holes in the garment cover in the space, Veda is clearly making a reference
to the holes in the Ozone layer)
RV2.14.4

This protective garment is like the fleece of a sheep. There are trillions
of hands on the ground, which supports the actions to prevent damage
to this garment (in the space) and to keep it in good repair like new.
These trillions of hands churn the environments with lightening and
greenery to disarm the attackers of the fleece like protective cover. Like
a good leader of armies, motivate these 'GREEN' actions on the lands to
bring prosperity to all.
(Veda is clearly referring to the green house gases causing the damage to Ozone layer.)
RV2.14.5
†¬¾ÖμÖÔ¾ÖÖê μÖ„ þֿ−ÖÓ •Ö‘ÖÖ−Ö μÖ„ ¿ÖãÂÖ´Ö¿ÖãÂÖÓ μÖÖê ¾μÖÓÃÖ´ÖË …

Oh men desirous of positive roles, deal like the sun, which hunts down
even the beautiful clouds to shed the rains, which wet the earth to
disarm the enemies like draught, by bringing wetness. With pipram ׯ֯ÖÏÓ
the selfish ones' who only fill their own belly, the namuchi −Ö´Öã“Öß being
4
those who should never be pardoned, by rudhikra ¹ý׬ÖÎúÖ the stern law
enforcement agency should deal sternly to ensure equitable justice
food and nutrition for all.
( Take care of the corrupt & black marketers to eradicate poverty and prevent famines
and starvation deaths.)
RV2.14.6
†¬¾ÖμÖÔ¾ÖÖê μÖ„ ¿ÖŸÖÓ ¿ÖŸÖ´²Ö¸üÃμÖ ×²Ö³Öê¤üÖ¿´Ö−Öê¾Ö ¯Öæ¾Öá„ …

Like the mobilization on war footing, when the clouds were destroyed to
smithereens of rain drops by the forces of Indra to bring bounties of
plenty to the people, get activated to restore the earlier prosperity, of
abundance for all.
(The action against the black sheep in the society has to proceed in a similar manner, on
war footing.)
RV2.14.7
†¬¾ÖμÖÔ¾ÖÖê μÖ„ ¿ÖŸÖ´ÖÖ ÃÖÆüÄÖÓ ³Öæ´μÖÖ ˆ¯ÖãÖꃾ֯֕•Ö¬Ö−¾ÖÖ−ÖË…

Along with the innumerable crops being cultivated by the farmers for
feeding the nation, the guests and dependents, innumerable enemies in
the form of weeds, pests, etc also get in to the land. The Adhwaryus
should work on sustainable herbal remedies to help the growth of
agriculture crops.
(This is a very clear directive on what the modern agriculture science is involved with,
Organic agriculture, better Seeds & IPM- Integrated pest management)
RV2.14.8
†¬¾ÖμÖÔ¾ÖÖê μÖ®Ö¸ü„ úÖ´ÖμÖÖ¬¾Öê ÁÖã™üß ¾ÖÆü−ŸÖÖê −Ö¿Ö£ÖÖ ŸÖפü−¦Óü …

For the leaders and persons holding senior policy making
responsibilities, when some strategies for public good are being
contemplated, the deliberations should be held confidential, till they are
totally worked out. It is only for the well thought out plans to be made
available for general public to debate and consider sustainability.
( This is clear directive on the role of media not to give premature publicity to mere
conjectures, and contribute towards the development of healthy debate and discussions)

It is for the technically knowledgeable community and the
establishment to decide and implement, the handling of sewage,
pollution and foul smell creating situations, by using natural vegetative
filtration and the winning of the desirable components out of the system
by the strategy of using wetlands and lagoons, for making the waste
disposal a pleasant, acceptable and sustainable activity.
( This is the latest waste water treatment strategy by root zone treatment , and energy
crops similar to what NASA scientists have proposed)

The immense bounties of nature always flow on us for welfare health
and wealth of all, by the continuous pursuits of knowledge based
transparent activities by our well-meaning gifted people.
It is for paucity of space that the detailed method and reasoning to arrive at
the above Vedic interpretations have not been provided here.
