Sathya Sai Baba claimed that he was nothing less than “the Almighty form of the Vedas” (i.e. “Vedarupa“) see in his journal Sanathana Sarathi – July 1974, p. 170.
There are two mutually opposed climates of opinion on the Vedas. Firstly, there are those who believe they are mystical sound-based mantras which – when constantly repeated and their injunctions observed – bring about realization in the individual that he or she is nothing but God, and thereby gains access to all knowledge about everything as well as immortal existence untroubled by any physical sufferings. Secondly, many hold the Vedas to be doubtful in origin (not the eternal scripture as claimed), may have been altered through time, and consist in hymns and what amount to ‘magic spells’ to involve the Gods or Deities in various ways, mounting to sheer religious speculation employing virtual mumbo-jumbo in a vain attempt to counter the ills of the world.
