Synopsis

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Vedic Hymns Part 1 (1891) translated by F. Max Müller, is volume XXXII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 1 contains hymns to the Maruts, Rudra, Vâyu, and Vâta. One of the oldest oral traditions, these chants are considered by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Anyone interested in Hindu religion should add this text to their personal library.
