Synopsis

This is the third edition of the classic book that presents the author's discovery of the astronomical code in the organization of the Ṛgveda. This code, which explains several elements of the fire-altar ritual, has changed our understanding of the Vedic system of knowledge, rise of early astronomy, history of science, and the chronology of ancient India. Vedic astronomy is likely to have been carried westward out of India by the Sanskritic Mitannis and other groups who ruled West Asia in the second millennium BCE. The new edition has a new chapter on the connections between Vedic and Babylonian astronomy.
