Basis of Economic Development- The Vedic Perspective

Bhagavad Gita 3.14: All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains. Rains are produced by performance of yajña [sacrifice], and yajña is born of prescribed duties.

Even the today So called Modern Industrial Enterprises today depend on the excessive supply of natural raw Materials like Water,cotton, oil etc which are nothing but the Gifts of Nature obtained by the mercy of God, these cannot be manufactured by the modern Factories at any costs.

There is a famous saying in tamil,

"Vedam othiya vethiyarkku Oor mazhai,

Neethi mannar neriyinarkku Oor mazhai,

Mathar karpudai mangayarkku oor mazhai

ena maatham mummaari mazhai peyumae"

which means,

If Brahmins recite vedas, if Rulers govern the country in accordance to shastras(i.e.without corruption etc..) and if Women are chaste to their husband then we get rain thrice a month without fail.

So the onus is now on Brahmins,rulers and women to get good rainfall!
