​The practice of Vedic Chanting has been passed down through the centuries directly from guru to disciple. The Vedic hymns are the oldest sacred chants from a living spiritual tradition. The ancient hymns were not composed by the Saints but revealed by the Sages. They hold untold power to improve conditions in the world when they are recited in the proper ways with attention and devotion. The recitation of Vedas helps to reduce troubles like natural disasters, disease, pandemics, droughts, famines, poverty, quarrels, and wars. The hymns increase peace, prosperity, health, wealth, and general success and good conditions. The sacred hymns purify the mind of those who recite (or hear) the mantras, which in turn purifies the atmosphere. This helps to ensure rain falls in the right amount to sustain life on Earth. These sacred mantras have been kept secret for millennia by the gurus who have passed down the sacred technology of Veda chanting. The Vedic hymns require a great deal of knowledge and practice for their proper recitation. Complex systems have been put in place to ensure that the sacred hymns have been preserved precisely through the centuries. These mantras require great precision of chanting to bestow the best results. Changing one syllable or pitch can result in changing the meaning and effects of the mantra. So it is best to learn this sacred chanting directly from a teacher who can correct the mistakes of the student and empower the practice.

Since the advent of the printing press, the Vedas have been translated to various languages and many printed version have been published. These texts are more scholarly and have not been produced for those who want to gain a direct experience of the mystical knowledge of Vedas by practicing.

It is even more difficult to find the powerful mantras in English transliteration for those who do not read Sanskrit. This book has been produced for the benefit of those who teach the Vedas and for the sincere students wanting to embark on the practice of Veda chanting. The text includes many of the most important Vedic hymns and mantras used in worship by priests today. The most popular mantras use for invoking and worshiping a full range of Devas is included along with the most important mantras used in various rituals. Many of these mantras are not easily available from other printed sources. The text includes an introduction to Vedic chanting with a few tips for proper pronunciation. Each mantra is prefaced by a brief description of its meaning and the purposes it is traditionally used for. This text does not include a full translation of the hymns, because it is intended for use in practice. The higher meaning of the sacred verses is revealed for those who repeat and meditate on the sacred sounds of the mantras.

The Vedas have been revealed for the benefit of all the world. Men, women, children from all backgrounds, faiths, and nations should be encouraged to learn Vedas for the benefit of the world.

The only qualification which is needed is faith in the Vedic Sages, an understanding of karma and dharma, and a willingness to humble oneself as the shakti of the Vedic mantras transforms their consciousness. This practice cannot be done for selfish benefits, but for the benefit of all living beings. Conditions improve as the sacred sounds uplift a person's consciousness.
