About Vedamantram
vEda literally means Knowledge. The audio files on this site present you the Knowledge as discovered by the vEdic R^iShis (Seers). shruti (right intonation) is extremely important for the recitation of the vEda. Please do not attempt to learn the mantras from the audio without the guidance of a qualified guru, since a mantra by definition should only be recited according to the right shruti. However, feel free to learn the stotras as they are not bound by shruti. vEda mantras have been passed down orally for more than 6,000 years without any change, either in their intonation or the content. The vEdas are the basis for the world’s oldest and continuous civilization arising out of bhAratavarSha (India).
vEda dhvani (Sound of the vEda ) gives peace of mind when listened with reverence and renders the mind fit for contemplation. Please listen to these very sacred mantras with a clean body and a pure mind to enhance your spiritual progress.
Note: We have followed the ITrans scheme to transliterate Samskritam words in English letters to accurately represent Samskritam letters.

This website first went online when shrI vamshi kR^iShNa, one of shrI shAstri’s earliest shiShyas, started recording their vEda classes in the late 1990’s. With widespread adoption of the internet and the emerging mp3 audio format, shrI vamshi registered vedamantram.com and vedamantram.org in 1999 and started uploading the recitations by shrI shAstri. Since then, this website has seen rapid growth, serving hundreds of millions of visitors from every country in the world. Please contact him if you need any more information about the website:
