Despite the subject being complex for the beginners, the poem goes on to deal with it in a finely nuanced yet interesting way as to how Vedic thought started taking shape through forces of nature and beyond. Unni, Indira and Susan have nicely described their impressions. Thanks, Geeta ji. 'The Vedic Sages.... Through their mystical experiences developed deep spiritual insights'

I cane to a halt upon reading- - -] explains it as seeing / A bird with its footprints in the air or sky.[- - - - - that is a show stopper! ! ! I reread it a couple of times and then continued reading the poem. Then returned to these lines and pondered it. The rest of the poem is done very well and discussed its point clearly. Well done Geeta! 10+

Thank you dear Susan for your gracious comment and vote as well. In Vedic texts, sometimes, there are similies and metaphors that is difficult to grasp or comprehend. But when we read it again and again, it becomes clear.

Hi Geeta, Indian philosophy is something very hard to decipher. Vedas and Upanishads and even our epics speak of many God. But, in the next breath, it is stated AHAM BRAHMASMI, meaning I am Brahman, that Man and God are one. This statement directs us to a monotheistic philosophy. This contradiction is answered by you in the poem. But, I think this deserves Mose elaborate discussion....
