Review: Hindu Religious Text - Beautifully written story.
Review: Book Review - Wendy Doniger's book, Rig Veda, organizes passages of the Aryan religious text around fifteen themes. Her detailed analyses offer a glimpse into the complex relationship between the human and cosmological realm in Ancient India. As she states in her introduction, this book was written for "people, not for scholars." Doniger's translations and explanations clarify and illuminate the role of sacrifice, fire, women, and various gods in a multifaceted ancient culture. This book was a required text for a class on Priests, Warriors, and Ascetics in Ancient India. Doniger's Rig Veda was an excellent resource in this course. The one controversial point regarding this book is the interpretation of the ephedrine ritual juice, Soma, as a hallucinogen. I would recommend this book to individuals interested in the study of religion in Ancient India.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Version I have found
*by Z***L on August 10, 2020*

I love this version. The translation is broken down for ease of read but also keeps the spiritual and historical spirit behind the book. I use it for reference, research for my blog and self written book, and for my own religious practices. Great book for student or one seeking ancient Indo-European / Indian wisdom.
