For a serious and meaningful study of the Vedas, it is necessary to contemplate and concentrate on different subjects of the Vedas. The knowledge of the deity is essential for understanding the Vedas. This is the reason why Yaska has dedicated half of the Nirukta only to the deity Vivechan. If the nature of the deity and its concept becomes clear, then the meaning of the mantras becomes clear accordingly. Essays were presented by many scholars on Vedic deities in the Veda-seminars conducted under the inspiration of Dr. Abhaydev Sharma, President of the Veda Sansthan, in which various aspects were discussed on the prescribed deity. In these seminars, a compilation of research articles written on Vasistha, Vasu, Rudra and Aditi-Aditya is included in this book. In the beginning, Swami Vidyanand Saraswati's factual and eloquent essay is a major source of inspiration for us regarding the interpretation of Vedas. All other essays touch on all aspects - spiritual, adhidaivik, adhibhautik and scientific. Young Vedic researchers will also be suitably benefited from this book.
