About The Book: The book explores Vedic philosophy, challenging the notion of a defined system and emphasizing individualistic elements within select hymns, particularly those in the Rig-Veda's tenth book. Unlike previous scholars who categorized Vedic thought as mythology or cosmogony, the author aims to highlight diverse philosophical perspectives. Driven by a desire to reveal the individuality embedded in each hymn, the book offers a fresh perspective on Vedic literature. While scholars like Scherman and Deussen aimed to estimate philosophical standards, the author's focus is on showcasing how each mode of speculation represents a unique creation of individual thought.
