Yajurveda rejects Atheism?!. Does it?

[Vinayaka]

It's a kind of milkshake, imported from an Island off of Slovenia, a beautiful mixture of pomegranate, Concord grapes, and peppermint mango. It is particularly sacred to Varuna, Indra, and Logeswara.

either that or ... google is your friend.

Since you don't even know what a sloka is, I'm quite sure you haven't been reading the Yajurveda at all.

I get it . So it is a verse if it is in prose and a couplet if it is a unit of a poetry.

It definitely does not support "no-God" and "Irreligious" stance of Atheism/Agnosticism/Skepticism/Humanism. Does it? Please

Namaste,

Any opinion on my post previously:

Here i reproduce for your convenience.

"Shruddha is the word translated here as "faith", according to Nighantu (Interpretation and explanation of words from the Veda Samhitas by ancient linguists) and in general usage Shruddha has many meanings,

In Nighantu for example.

"srad-dha is (so called) on account of being based on truth (vrad)".

Commenting on this the Acharya Durga (traditional Hindu guy, so probably means nothing to those who know better then Hindus) remarks that "Srad-Dha means that intuitive attitude which one assumes towards religion and' secular and spiritual matters and which does not undergo any change.

So technically this is not meaning Faith as in unbeliever or Atheist, in this Mantra quoted by Paarsuray, the interpretation i take away is Shrudha (that which is based on truth) is established as Truth."


So does this Mantra "Yajurveda Chapter XIX (19) Verse 77", gets clarified now, This is not talking against Atheist or non believers ect. because A-sraddha would mean "attitudes and assumptions not based on Truth".

Therefore the Mantra would be more accurately translated as:

"God through His pure knowledge, viewing both forms has
explained truth and falsehood. He has assigned the attitudes and assumptions not based on Truth to false-
hood, and attitudes and assumptions based on truth to truth".

Just like the rest of the Mantras you have quoted, none rejects Atheism.
