About the series:
Sometime in 1984 a few people in Mumbai came together to perform a very special 'yajna' (sacrifice) called Rik Samhitha Yaga. In this 'prayer' oblations are offered for each and every mantra, more than 10,000 in number, in Rig Veda.
The text is the Veda are revealed and not composed. The people to whom the texts were revealed were revered as "Rishis". The organizer of this event invited a Rishi of our times to talk and educate people about Veda. The Rishi is none other than Sri BG.
In each of the talks for the 9 days the Yajna was performed, Sri BG explains various facets of Veda and lays a firm foundation for any aspirant who wants to pursue further studies on the topic. He explains the symbolism in Vedas and takes a few example verses and explains the psychological and spiritual interpretations.
Some of the popular "shanthi mantras" are explained along with the entire of Purusha Sukta.
Its our earnest belief that a spiritual seeker will find something useful in each and every minute of Sri BG's discourse.
