Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and history of religious beliefs by exploring the development of Vedic hymns and the progression from natural phenomena descriptions to the emergence of deities. The author traces the evolution of the words deva (god) and asura (demon) from their initial meanings as divisions of mankind to their later associations with light and darkness, respectively. The book highlights the absence of a distinct line between historical and non-historical hymns, demonstrating the gradual transformation of historical events and figures into mythological tales. The author argues that the historical hymns provide valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of ancient people, revealing their struggles, alliances, and the development of their spiritual practices. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of interpreting the Vedas in their historical context to gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of religious beliefs and the rich cultural heritage of ancient India. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527643055_0
