Abstract
The Vedas are those books of Indian Culture which have stored in themselves the knowledge related to all subjects like astrology, music, mathematics, science, religion, medicine, nature, astronomy, cosmogony etc. I have taken a drop from this ocean to explain the phrase Vedic Hospitality. The Vedas define Hospitality is a friendly and generous reception of guests or strangers. To be hospitable, therefore, means to care and show respect for another being. It is a sincere expression of appreciation, love, and humility. A person whose heart is filled with gratitude, magnanimity, and spirituality is naturally hospitable. I have quoted some points from Vedas, how hospitality is to be extended and what are the basic requirements for host and guest. Also I have mentioned some points about the differences between Vedic Hospitality and Modern Day Hospitality.
