The Vedic Pantheon An Understanding of the Vedic Gods and Goddesses

Author Name: Sampath Phani Kumar | Format: Paperback | Genre : Educational & Professional | Other Details

Veda is the source that lets us know the truth. As per the Veda, Truth is the real essence, and it is the supreme lord. Truth has two components of it namely Satyam and Ritam. Satyam is the changeless eternal reality which has no attributes. Satyam is beyond the perception of our mind and senses. The second one is the Ritam, the definite preset pattern of dynamics taking place in the universe. This is in our perception, and we too are part of it. These two aspects are the basic foundations of the existence. Ritam stems from the absolute reality only. Upon these foundations of Satyam and Ritam, the Veda introduces us many cosmic forces or deities. These deities are not individual entities, but they are various intermediary expressions of the same supreme reality, the Purusha. As per the Veda the supreme reality is both immanent and transcendent, with attributes and without attributes, it is formless yet attains a form at its free will. It is both existence and non-existence . It envelops all dualities , all perceptions and all our intellectual boundaries. The intention of this effort is to give an exposition on the esoteric meanings of various deities mentioned in the Rig-Veda.
