Paperback. Condizione: New. Language: English. About The Book : The flambeau's glory is the shining fire; She was the pride, the glory of her sire, Shedding new lustre on his old descent, His loveliest child, his richest ornament. The sparkling GANGÁ laved her heavenly home, And o'er her islets would the maiden roam Amid the dear companions of her play With ball and doll to while the hours away. As swans in autumn in assembling bands Fly back to GANGÁ'S well-remembered sands: As herbs beneath the darksome shades of night Collect again their scattered rays of light: So dawned upon the maiden's waking mind The far-off memory of her life resigned, And all her former learning in its train, Feelings, and thoughts, and knowledge came again. Now beauty's prime, that craves no artful aid, Ripened the loveliness of that young maid: That needs no wine to fire the captive heart, The bow of Love without his flowery dart. There was a glory beaming from her face, Read More.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Language: English. About The Book: The book explores the "Hymns of the Samaveda," emphasizing rituals where Soma juice is offered to deities. Adapted from the Rigveda, its verses are rearranged for these ceremonies, often with variations. The text begins with chants to Agni, the god of fire, invoking blessings and sacrificial offerings. It includes modern additions like the benedictory line and invokes Lord Ganesha, a post-Vedic deity believed to remove obstacles. Each stanza follows the Gayatri meter, with Agni serving as the intermediary between humans and gods in Vedic rituals.
