Fascinating Book on Mind and the Vedas!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gods Within: Mind, Consciousness and the Vedic Tradition (Hardcover)
This most interesting book presents the latest findings from neuroscience on consciousness and shows how there is convergence between these ideas and the Vedic tradition of consciousness. For example, we now know that the cognitive centers of the mind have a discrete character which is quite like the conception of the "gods" in Vedic mythology. The book also has translation of the Shiva Sutras and chapters on Indian music and temple architecture. This book will be useful to students of Indian culture and history.

Read this book for an esoteric reading of the Vedic texts. Has a lot of persuasive arguments regarding the correctness of this approach.

This review is from: Gods Within: Mind, Consciousness and the Vedic Tradition (Hardcover)
Professor Subhash Kak, Head of computer science at the Oklahoma State University had written a book which will change the life of many people
including myself. This is the most convincing proof that God is within us and Pr Kak offer us a way how to light up this flame within us. Pr Kak is one of the greatest sage of this century.
