Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Vedas are divided into three portions, karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kanda and upāsana. Upāsana means "worship." So they are recommendation for worshiping different types of demigods. But the ultimate worship is recommended, Viṣṇu worship. Tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ. So we are teaching that Viṣṇu worship, the topmost worship.

Guest (3): And if I wanted to read the Ṛg Veda, which version should I read? Which would you recommend?

Prabhupāda: No. When you read Vedas, you read everything. Why this portion or that portion? Ṛg Veda, the portion which is teaching tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ (Ṛg Veda 1.22.20), that portion means worshiping portion. The Vedas are divided into three portions, karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kanda and upāsana. Upāsana means "worship." So they are recommendation for worshiping different types of demigods. But the ultimate worship is recommended, Viṣṇu worship. Tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ. So we are teaching that Viṣṇu worship, the topmost worship. Then it is first-class worship. That we are teaching.
