About the Rig Veda Hymns:
This wonderful Selection of Rig Veda Hymns, given in Devanagari Sanskrit along with English translations, is from various Rig Veda Sections (Books). These Hymns are preceded by a Vedic Prayer from the Yajur Veda considered by many as a prayer for Universal Peace.

About the Translations:
One may feel a rather strong need for deeper meanings of these slokas -- this is a most natural desire. But as in the words of Sri Aurobindo: 'The interpretation of the Rig Veda is perhaps the most difficult and disputed question with which the scholarship of today has to deal. This difficulty and dispute are not the creation of present-day criticism; it has existed in different forms since very early times.'
The English Translations in this video are all sourced from the text by Ralph Griffith (1869) considered as one of the most accurate works though too 'literal' in content -- providing exact word-meanings of the Rig Veda.
