Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: The book explores the "Hymns of the Samaveda," emphasizing rituals where Soma juice is offered to deities. Adapted from the Rigveda, its verses are rearranged for these ceremonies, often with variations. The text begins with chants to Agni, the god of fire, invoking ble…ssings and sacrificial offerings. It includes modern additions like the benedictory line and invokes Lord Ganesha, a post-Vedic deity believed to remove obstacles. Each stanza follows the Gayatri meter, with Agni serving as the intermediary between humans and gods in Vedic rituals.
