With such spiritual translation and interpretation of the Vedic Mantras, Frawley deserves a place among the great spiritual commentators of the Veda like Swami Atmananda, Swami Dayananda, Sri Aurobindo and V.S. Agarwal. --Prof. K.D. Shastri, Haryana Sahitya Academy Journal of Indological Studies. Past scholarship has dismissed the hymns of the Rig Veda as being expressions of a primitive animistic mentality that only rarely rose to true spiritual and philosophical heights. David Frawley's book demonstrates that his judgmental view is ill-founded. His fine renderings of select Vedic hymns bear witness to the fact that their composers were sages witness to the fact that their composers were sages and seers-powerful poets who knew the art of symbolic and metaphoric communication. ...This is an important and riveting book, ushering in a new and sounder tradition of Vedic interpretation and scholarship. --Georg Feuerstein, Author of Encyclopedic Dictionary of Yoga
