Rig Veda Sanhita: A Collection Of Ancient Hindu Hymns (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781432616779)

Rig Veda Sanhita: A Collection of Ancient Hindu Hymns is a book that presents a comprehensive collection of the oldest and most revered Hindu scriptures, the Rig Veda, which is believed to have been composed between 1500 and 1200 BCE. The book contains a total of 1,028 hymns, divided into ten books, or mandalas, each dedicated to a specific deity or concept. The hymns are written in Vedic Sanskrit and are considered to be the foundation of Hinduism. The book is anonymous, as the authorship of the Rig Veda is unknown. The hymns are primarily addressed to the gods and goddesses of the Vedic pantheon, such as Agni, Indra, and Soma, and cover a wide range of topics, including creation, cosmology, sacrifice, and the nature of the universe. The Rig Veda Sanhita is an important resource for scholars of Hinduism, as well as for those interested in ancient Indian culture and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
