The 10 basic principles of the Vedas

​

These are the Vedic principles known as the 10 Commandments of Shree ParamSadguru Gajanan Maharaj of Akkalkot.

These 10 Commandments were prescribed to prepare oneself to follow the Five-Fold Path to march forward in the path of light. The first nine commandments are the disciplines to practice in daily life. The last commandment - Ishwar Pranidhan is the most important; It means “na mama”, that is “not mine”. Na mama is the ultimate aim. This is Agnihotra. Param Sadguru says: “Whoever obeys these Ten Commandments of the Holy Vedas will, without doubt, be liberated. However, these Ten Commandments are to be followed virtually by body, speech and mind.”
