In the Vedic religion, Ṛta (/ɹ̩ta/; Sanskrit ऋत ṛta "order, rule; truth; logos") is the principle of the natural order which regulates and coordinates the operation of the universe and everything within it. Ṛṇa (Samskrit: ऋणम्) refers to the concept of pious obligations that evolved as part of Dharma. They are specific responsibilities to be discharged by every individual during one's lifetime in gratitude for the various benefits that one obtains in life from different sources. While Yajña refers in Hinduism to any ritual done in front of a sacred fire, often with mantras. Yajña has been a Vedic tradition, described in a layer of Vedic literature called Brahmanas, as well as Yajurveda. But is it also important for the Vedantin philosophers who are regarded as deeply contemplative and philosophical, in contrast to the ritualistic origins of the Sanatana Dharma?
In this video, all the 3 topics have been explained in simple terms suitable for students of Philosophy major. The presentation will also help anybody interested in Hindu culture and its characteristic features.
