International conference on Application of Veda Knowledge in the light of Sri Aurobindo jointly hosted by Sri Aurobindo Society, SAKSHI Trust, Samskriti University and Central Sanskrit University at Mathura from 28-29, November, 2025.

Dr Kishor Kumar Tripathy, Member Secretary, AuroBharati, Sri Aurobindo Society attended the conference and presented a paper on the theme “Moving from Ritual to Realization: Practical Application of Vedic Vision of Yoga and Consciousness as interpreted by Sri Aurobindo.”

This is the third conference in the series, the earlier two having been held in Bengaluru (2023) and Jaipur (2024). It is a step toward redressing a great lacuna in India’s and humanity’s self-understanding —by restoring the study of the Veda to its rightful place as a living and transformative force. The Veda is not merely an ancient text, but the wellspring of India’s philosophies, religions, ethics, and culture.

Today, it offers profound insights for addressing the challenges of modern civilization— guiding us in the fields of sustainability, integral education, good governance, human unity, and above all, spiritual transformation. To engage with the Veda is to reconnect with the deeper currents of human evolution and the soul of India’s destiny.

The concern is not to uphold the Veda merely as a scripture, but to ask: What is its meaning? What is the secret it conceals? How is that secret still relevant to our lives and future? In this quest, serves as a luminous guide.

Sri Aurobindo’s ‘The Secret of the Veda’ Inspired by Sri Aurobindo’s vision of an Indian Renaissance through the rediscovery of spiritual knowledge, the conference will explore the application of Veda Knowledge—to enhance human potential and support the deeper transformation of life.
