The Veda is alive today as it has been at all times, at any time of day or night, in any season, in any age. It is alive. It works eternally and orders the activity of the galactic universe out of itself. – Maharishi Mahesh Yogi This author brings a completely new understanding of the Rik Veda. Read the translated texts aloud and enjoy! The texts, which are still difficult to grasp on a rough level, are illuminated by commentaries at the highest level of understanding. At last, someone who has understood what a cosmic work the Rik Veda is and who is able to convey this understanding. – Reinhardt Holtfoth The – let‘s call it – meditative component of the text, which I am familiar with in several translations, has been put by Jan Müller into language extraordinarily well and vividly. He explains in the appendix that each individual reception of the text only conveys one facet of countless ways of understanding it. For the classical philologist this may be an irritating approach – but for the searching philosopher it is THE core idea that makes the Veda so fascinating. A successful work with a thoroughly substantial commentary! – Dr. Jens Petersen The translation itself is so fresh and creatively captivating that it warms the heart. The accompanying commentary shows that Jan Müller is truly familiar with the ancient and eternally valid mechanisms of creation and is able to translate his knowledge into the language of our time in an understandable and vivid way. The book offers a variety of approaches for all literature lovers and all those who are looking for solutions to the many questions of life. – Karl Hubertus Koletzkoweiterlesen
