Subject: Re: [cybalist] The Rig-Veda:
What it entails.
Sorry, Mark, but I have to say this: the
Vedic Studies site contains typical New Agey stuff with of no scientific
value whatsoever. It doesn't offer information but a series of sermons
plus insinuation to the effect that whoever opposes their views does so for
political reasons. I've seen more of that before and am no longer amused. It's
just MHO, but I certainly wouldn't recommend the site to
anybody.

Mark Odegard wrote on March 24, 2000 ce that he would find it helpful
to
have some guidance on Vedic mythology as an introduction to reading the
Rg-veda Samhita.
An excellent resource from within the tradition
might be the American
Institute for Vedic Studies website: http://www.vedanet.com
This site
includes links to many other sites relating to many aspects of
Hinduism
and Vedic culture. The site also includes information specifically
relating to the truth or falsity of the theory of the Aryan Invasion of
India; does anybody care to take an open-minded AND critical look at the
arguments there presented for the group?. In any case, Mark and any others
interested in the Vedas would likely find a lot of useful material either
at
this site, or through some of its many links with other
sites.
At your service,
