could avoid most mundane problems and a ain the freedom to a ain their
cherished goal of libera on from temporary mortal life. According to
Mardikian, a few copies of the Vetz Hazaria were present when he was s ll a
young boy in Western Armenia. These were reserved for a select number of
chosen men who could benefit the lives of ordinary people with this ancient
wisdom. The chosen few could impart knowledge how to live successfully in
this world and when appropriate they could recommend that a few could
learn the higher knowledge of total emancipa on.

I will summarize the main sec ons of Vetz Hazaria. This precious knowledge is
not subject to normal academic study. It cannot be realized simply by read-
ing. It is revealed by a descending process from teacher to student or guru to
disciple. Becoming a sincere disciple of a genuine teacher or guru is required
so that one receives the full revela on of the knowledge. It is impossible to
simply study this knowledge academically and successfully assimilate it.

The following are the outline chapter tles covered in the Vetz Hazaria:
origin of humanity, difference between humans and animals, laws of nature
that regulate all living beings, the difference between the body and the soul,
how to free the soul from material entanglement of the body, evolu on of
consciousness by understanding the five basic truths of life: who is God, who
we are in rela on to God and in rela on to the material world, what is me,
what is the material nature, what is mankind’s essen al duty in life. By under-
standing these five basic truths of life a person can a ain the ul mate goal of
existence, which is pure love of God and complete libera on from the illusion
of material existence. The above is a short summary of the Vetz Hazaria. The
book contains detailed informa on about these five basic truths of life and
supplemental informa on about mastering certain powers of nature such as
foreseeing the future, correct analysis of past and present, overcoming evil
forces that may pose obstacles to the spiritual quest, maintaining physical
and mental health, living in harmony with nature so that one may avoid un-
necessary troubles caused by ignorance of the laws of nature, avoiding
pi alls of material nature by which one becomes hopelessly entangled in du-
ali es, learning the art of work by which every ac on is a step closer to eter-
nal life and other per nent details to help a ain the goal of life.
Ul mately, the knowledge contained in the Vetch Hazaria was meant to raise
