Proofs from the Vedas that God is Unborn, Omnipresent, Ageless, and Formless


 


**Proofs from the Vedas that God is Unborn, Omnipresent, Ageless, and Formless**


--


## Proofs that God is Unborn (Ajanmā)


1. The unborn God, who does not take birth, upholds the earth through imperishable, eternal principles.

   *(Ṛgveda 1.67.3)*


2. May the unborn, unique, unparalleled God be benevolent and auspicious for us.

   *(Ṛgveda 7.35.13)*


3. The unborn God, who is not produced from any form of material transformation, moves within the womb-dwelling soul and within the hearts of all beings.

   *(Yajurveda 31.19)*


4. The Supreme Soul is omnipotent; free from gross, subtle, and causal bodies; without pores or channels; unattached to any bodily bonds; pure; free from ignorance and all defects; sinless; and all-pervading. He is the seer (kavi), the knower of the mental states of all beings, and the chastiser of the wicked. Being beginningless in nature, He does not undergo birth, destruction, parental origin, gestation, growth, or death. For His eternal subjects (souls), He truly fashions all entities through the Vedas.

   *(Yajurveda 40.8)*

## God Is Omnipresent


1. The infinite Brahman is spread everywhere.

   *(Atharvaveda 10.8.12)*


2. The heavenly realm and the earthly realm cannot encompass the extent of His pervasiveness.

   *(Ṛgveda 1.52.14)*


3. O luminous Divine One! You see all from every side. Everything lies before You; nothing is behind You. O God, You are present everywhere.

   *(Ṛgveda 1.97.6)*


4. To the ignorant, Brahman appears to move; yet in His own nature (being all-pervading), He does not move. Though free from distance of space and time due to His omnipresence, He appears distant because of ignorance and is near to those free from ignorance. He exists within all beings and also beyond them all.

   *(Yajurveda 40.5)*


5. The all-productive Supreme Being is behind and before, above and below. That omnipresent Lord, the source of all creation, may grant us desired objects and bestow upon us long life.

   *(Ṛgveda 10.26.14)*


6. That Rudra-form Supreme Being exists in fire; He pervades waters, medicinal herbs, and ponds through His all-encompassing presence.

   *(Atharvaveda 7.87.1)*


---


## God Is Ageless (Ajara – Free from Old Age)


1. O ageless Supreme Lord, through Your protection may we attain the fulfillment of our mental aspirations.

   *(Ṛgveda 6.5.7)*


2. One who upholds the ageless, all-sovereign God swiftly attains supreme wisdom.

   *(Ṛgveda 6.19.2)*


3. The wise person who knows the steadfast, ageless, immortal Supreme Being does not fear death or calamity.

   *(Atharvaveda 10.8.44)*


4. We should earnestly pray to that great, exalted, supremely wise, and ageless Supreme Being.

   *(Ṛgveda 6.49.10)*


---


## God Is Formless (Nirākāra)


1. The Supreme Being is omnipotent; free from gross, subtle, and causal bodies; without pores or channels; unattached to bodily bonds; pure; free from ignorance and sin; and all-pervading. He is the seer, the knower of the minds of all beings, and the chastiser of the wicked. Being beginningless, He is beyond birth, growth, decay, and death, and truly fashions all entities for His eternal subjects through the Vedas.

   *(Yajurveda 40.8)*


2. God has no image, likeness, measurable form, symbol, or representation comparable to Him; therefore, God is formless.

   *(Yajurveda 32.3)*


3. The all-sovereign, all-powerful Lord is without feet or limbs and is formless.

   *(Ṛgveda 8.69.11)*


4. God is present in all beings and yet distinct from all—such a quality is possible only in a formless reality.

   *(Yajurveda 31.1)*


5. That Supreme Being, who pervades all creatures from every side, permeates the earth and all worlds, and encompasses all directions—above, below, and across—enters directly and perfectly into the essence of Truth. Knowing the Vedic Word that arose at the beginning of creation, may we realize Him with a pure inner consciousness. (Such a quality is possible only in the formless.)

   *(Yajurveda 32.11)*


---


Apart from these, numerous other Vedic mantras also establish that God is unborn, formless, omnipresent, ageless, and eternal. The day humanity accepts the God as described in the Vedas, all forms of superstition and sinful practices committed in the name of religion will come to an end.

Who Worships You

  **Who Worships You** **Ṛgveda 1.14.5** *īḷate tvām avasyavaḥ kaṇvāso vṛktabarhiṣaḥ | haviṣmanto araṃkṛtaḥ ||* **Meaning:** O Supreme Lord! Those who seek Your protection (*avasyavaḥ*); the wise and discerning (*kaṇvāsaḥ*), who praise You and acquire knowledge of every particle; those who have cleared the undergrowth of their hearts—cutting away desires—and prepared the throne of the heart for You (*vṛktabarhiṣaḥ*); those whose lives have become pure like a sacred oblation (*haviṣmantaḥ*); and those who are adorned by the observance of yama and niyama, or who have renounced worldly indulgences (*araṃkṛtaḥ*)—such people alone worship (*īḷate*) You. Many people worship the Supreme according to their respective beliefs. Even thieves and robbers vow offerings to deities for success in their misdeeds. The *Bhagavad Gītā* classifies devotees into four categories: “Four kinds of virtuous people worship Me, O Arjuna—the distressed, the inquisitive, the seeker of worldly gain, and the wise...

The Nature of God According to the Vedas: A Simple Explanation from Maharshi Dayanand’s Perspective

  **• The Nature of God According to the Vedas: A Simple Explanation from Maharshi Dayanand’s Perspective •** Maharshi Swami Dayanand Saraswati (1825–1883) clearly explained the nature of God based on the Vedas in his great works such as *Satyarth Prakash*. His aim was to free people from superstition, mythological imagination, and un-Vedic beliefs, and to help them understand God in His true form. The Vedic concept of God as presented by him can be understood through the following points: --- ### **1. God is One, Not Many** According to the Vedas, there is only one God. Everything in the universe—nature, living beings, planets, humans, and animals—is governed and controlled by one Supreme Being. If there were many gods, there would be conflict, disagreement, and disorder among them. However, the universe operates in perfect order—the sun rises and sets on time, seasons change systematically—this proves the existence of one supreme controlling power. Maharshi Dayanand clearly state...

Vedic Nationalism

  Vedic Nationalism “Mā naḥ stena īśataḥ” (Yajurveda 1.1) May corrupt and thieving people never rule over us. “Vayaṁ tubhyaṁ balihṛtaḥ syāma” (Atharvaveda 12.1.62) May we all be ever ready to offer sacrifice for our motherland. “Yatemahi svarājye” (Ṛgveda 5.66.6) Let us always strive for self-rule (swarajya). “Dhanvanā sarvāḥ pradiśo jayema” (Yajurveda 29.39) With the bow—symbol of warfare and defence—may we conquer all directions. “Sāsahyāma pṛtanyataḥ” (Ṛgveda 1.8.4) May we repel and drive back the attacking enemy. “Mātā bhūmiḥ putro ’haṁ pṛthivyāḥ” (Atharvaveda 12.1.12) The earth is my mother, and I am the son of this motherland. “Upa sarpa mātaraṁ bhūmim etām” (Ṛgveda 10.18.10) O human being! Serve this motherland with devotion. “Namo mātre pṛthivyai, namo mātre pṛthivyai” (Yajurveda 9.22) Salutations to the motherland—our repeated salutations. The entire 12th Book of the Atharvaveda is devoted to national duties. “Ye grāmā yad araṇyaṁ yāḥ sabhā adhi bhūmyām…” (Atharvaveda 12.1...
