Description

A translation of the complete Rig Veda into English with a state-of-the-art search and discovery capability. This is the first Digital Book that aims to answer the question - "What is in the Rig Veda and where do I find it?"

The Vedic heritage, and the Rig Veda in particular, is the foundation of Hinduism. Yoga, Dharma, Spirituality and so much of what defines Indian thought and culture today, derive from it. It was composed by famous Rishis who are household names, and yet, for many of us, its contents still remain a mystery. This book hopes to make the Rig Veda a little more accessible.

Horace Hayman Wilson wrote the first translation of the Rig Veda into English. His work is notable because it consciously tries to be true to the ancient sources. It is an important work of scholarship that this ebook hopes to preserve and extend.

This is the first Digital version of Wilson's work. It converts all the six volumes into a single, easy to carry ebook. It then embeds a state of the art search capability using AI and NLP. It extends this with Serendipity, to help us discover what maybe relevant even when we are not sure what to look for.

This work aims to be your reference of choice when you are looking for something in the Rig Veda. It also includes an Introduction where you can find some important Suktas and references, Rishi families and their compositions, elements of Vedic tradition like Danastutis and Apri Suktas, and much more.

I have always wanted to read Vedas which are the earliest scriptures of Hinduism and this one provided me with a convenient option as I can have it on Kindle which can be read with all kinds of notations. It's unlike other books that you binge read and consume in one go, this will take time and it is meant to as it very old and has most knowledge than literally any other book in the whole world. For readers who are not aware of it, you will mostly need a refresher on the main gods of Hinduism to better understand it at the beginning.

Wonderfully searchable edition of the Rig Veda with internal links, cross-referencing, and indexing. A gift for finding things in a truly massive tome.
