Thank you Kesav for this very educative and brilliant translation of the sacred texts of the Rig-veda..The Goddess of the Night conquers darkness with her Light - is both illuminating and thought-provoking.. I take it to my favourites as it is a piece that needs to be read and re-read often...10+++++

In my opinion, this is true for this planet, the ancients' only perspective on such matters. Time, is a relative being, only 'captured' when we apply constraints. Time is more appropriately called 'Space-Time, ' since they coexist. Our planet dents the fabric of space-time and thus certain physical laws arise, time being one. This is a beautiful hymn, yet another attempt to explain the world and our existence.

Kesav, your Vedic Hymn gave me much thought. The Goddess of Night is a force for good, yet to western eyes, dark is thought as full of evil thoughts, and light as full of truth. Because of this many children grow up with a fear of darkness. I prefer to think I have the Goddess of the Night to look over me. A lovely hymn. thank you. I have kept a copy. Bob

Dear Easwaran Sir, You are doign a qwonderful job by bringing out wonderful creations of our great sages, what they have experienced si conveyed thorugh veda's to the younger generastions and so on.... It is a pity that we dont know our values as we often ahve to listen to some on else to know the greatness of our literatures and science. In the name of so many phobies we prefer to ignore the great works of our ancestors who gave us a great culture and civilization that we often boast off with out knowing any thing what is init. You are doing a commetable work by bringing out beautiful thoughts of out Rishi's well done and looking foreward for more such excavations. Pranams Satheesan Rangorath

deep, the inner passion of man's feeling of creation, world..... and the maker of everything that exist.... a reflection of emotion and faith of where the fate of every creature destined... unending relationship between a powerful being and man ...all of what is being reveals is just a finger tips of what the Vedic scripture foretold....a 10++++++
