Vedic Dharma

This volume is the first installment in a new series on the Rig Veda. This series is
an original, idiosyncratic look at the Rg Veda and Vedas as a whole. The purpose
of this series, The Secret History of the Vedas, is to unravel and discover the true
meaning of the Vedic deities and to reveal the hidden meaning of the Vedas.
This book is a line-by-line commentary on the Asyavamasya Sukta in the Rig
Veda. There are three great themes in the Vedic dharma-Existence, Bliss, and
Consciousness. This volume is an examination of Existence, the first prong in the
Vedic Dharma.
This book is a broad overview of the major themes that are present in the Vedic
dharma. These themes will be explored and expanded in subsequent volumes in
this series. That series is The Secret History of the Vedas. This series reveals the
hidden meaning of the Rg Veda, reassembled from portions of the Vedas-the
Rg Veda SamaVeda, Yajur Veda, and AtharvaVeda-as well as the Brahmanas,
Upanishads, shastras, and other Vedic and Hindu writings. This series and this
volume provide the key that unlocks the secrets of the Vedas.
