Vedic rishis (trad.)

6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

Rig Veda: Selected Hymns

  1. IDEA 1

    Truth is one, called by many names

    One of the oldest lines in any scripture says the one reality is named in many ways by the wise. Thousands of years ago, India already saw different names for the sacred as different windows onto one truth.

  2. IDEA 2

    The hymn that admits it doesn't know

    The Nasadiya hymn asks how everything began and ends by saying perhaps even the highest does not know. It shows that honest wonder and humility sit at the very root of the tradition.

  3. IDEA 3

    Let good thoughts come from everywhere

    A Rig Vedic prayer asks that noble thoughts reach us from every direction. Wisdom is welcomed wherever it comes from, not only from one's own people.
