Guruji, please tell us about the Vedas. Can anyone read the Vedas?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes, there have been over one thousand Rishis and Maharishis in the Vedas, out of which many of the Maharishis belonged to different castes. In those days there was only one religion, Sanaatana, but they were of different castes. Everyone can read the Vedas, including women.
