SVS 135 [Vedavid -130] (14.7)

130. OM VEDAVIDE NAMA: वेदविदे नम:
Understands the true meaning in Vedas.

We will study today's [22nd August 2008] Divine name in Sri Krishna's birth place Mathura and His playing ground of Brindavan. As He ran about in these places, His footprints were seen on the ground, like declaring properties with seal. In Vishnu Puranam, it is declared that the Lord reclining on the serpent in the Milk Ocean, is playing in Mathura. When the Gopis wanted to select a safe place to live, Sri Krishna by His will power, turned the thorny dry Brindavan into lush green place so that cows had plenty to graze and Gopis and Gopikas to live happily. Upanishads are called Aranyakam in Vedas. So, aranyakam [forest] shows the Lord.

Vedavid means thorough understanding of Vedas or the true meaning of Vedas. Vedas came out of Valmiki as Srimad Ramayanam. While the sages in Ramayana were reborn as Gopikas in Sri Krishna Avatar, Vedas took the form of cows. The Lord took the forms of Swan [ Hamsa] and Horse [Sri Hayagriva], to preach Vedas to lord Brahma.
