I heard (for some reason I can't explain from where) that vedas are deliberately kept hidden by religious authorities. I mean generally you often hear about ramayan path and mahabharat path etc. But never come across veda path like. I relgious friend told me that you can't get full veda with all chapters included. Most chapters are omitted from print version.

Dear Saurabh Kulkarni;
My question is why they don't include all chapter.
Pandits do all kind of religious ceremonies. But why they don't conduct Path on vedas, I am not sure, share with me, if you have seen any pandit teaching from veda.

Despite much efforts I could not get a copy of original TEXT of any Veda in its original language. They were in Pali language (not Sanskrit) which extinguished millioniums back. Are or were they in ever in existence? People have only so called commentaries and explanations thereof and none saw a copy of Original Text in Original language. It is surprising how pandits wrote much commentaries upon Vedas without seeing their text. What one finds or found is not the copy of Veda.
Verses 40-47 Chapter 18 of They Holy Bhagavad Gita are translated to show specific jobs of Hindus, which cannot be changed in future lives too, births after births.
"""There is no being existing on the Earth, in the celestial spheres or in any universal planetary system which is free from the influence of these three modes of born of material nature. O Arjuna, the activities of the brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras are clearly divided according to the qualities born of their own nature. The actions of a brahmana arising from his own nature are serenity, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge of the Vadas, wisdom and firm faith. The actions of a Ksatriya born of his own nature are heroism, exuberance, determination, resourcefulness, without trace of cowardice in battle, generosity and leadership. The actions of a vaisya born of his own nature are agriculture, cow protection and trade, also the actions of a sudra born of his own nature consists in service to brahmanas, ksatriyas and vaisyas. Following each his own activity, a man achieves finally perfection, now hear how he performer of action prescribed according to qualification attains perfection. From whom is the existence of all living entities, by whom all this is pervaded, through worshipping Him, by ones own actions prescribed according to qualification a man achieves perfection. Ones righteous duty imperfectly done is better than another’s duty done perfectly; by performing actions predicated according to ones own nature sinful one does not incur sinful reactions. Actions prescribed according to ones nature must not be given up. O Arjuna, even if defective; since all endeavors are covered with defects as fire is covered by smoke."""

The right of knowledge of Vedas and wisdom is for Brahmins alone in Hinduism and none else can grab or encroach upon it. Others should not read, listen or understand it. Others should pray and worship by engaging in their caste jobs perfectly.

Muslims firmly believe and strictly practice the teachings/commands of their holy book Quran & their Prophet, which is their Code of Life at all times/places. They have the written, clear and unambiguous
teachings to guide righteous or wrongs, pious or evil, fair or unfair, etc. They follow them blindly in matters of responsibilities, liabilities, rights, daily life, marriage, private & public relation, business, trade, earning & spending, etc. etc. Anybody may read, satisfy, accept and practice it.

In 2007, common man from public can buy and read any Ved.
Ved is knowledge / gyan. Ramayan and mahabharat etc. are stories and common man love stories. Knowledge is for pandit. Jo pade so pandit hoi.

Well mostly only brahmins can access them, but that doesn't mean the Vedas can't be found.

This site has all four vedas, albeit translated versions, but I'm guessing the mp3s have the full stotras.

maximum adult men do no longer shave completley all of their pubic hair. some trim it yet maximum basically depart it. Its sorta exhibits your "manliness". Like in case you haven't any longer any pubic hair and walk right into a well-being club locker room and take a shower with others then your gonna get some comments on that subject. you are able to trim (no longer toooo short) yet do no longer shave all of it!

No.VEDAS were never ever kept hidden .In fact Swami Dayanand Saraswati revived them so that they can illuminate the world at large.There are 4 VEDAS.each having many many volumes .They are supposed to carry the REAL KNOWLEDGE of the whole universe.You think that can be packed in one book like GEETA and RAMAYANA.OUR rishis spent ages studying them .Who will organise one "path"to cover them.BUT if you have ever attended any HAWAN, you will know they carry the gist of ,the essence of VEDIC knowledge.DON't tell me you have not come across any body organising a HAWAN.Go to ANY ARYA--SAMAJ...you'll get all the volumes of all of them. MAKE effort.Your source is SO WRONG.EVEN I HAVE THEM AT MY HOME....HIDDEN?HUH!

I think so. I have been trying to buy a copy - no bookstores carry them in a single volumn. Fortunately, I am a Freemason - the Lodge has a copy that I can borrow.

There are no priests in this age who can perform the injunctions mentioned in the vedas.
