Introduction

I wanted to get in touch with my roots and be able to read the Vedas and have access to the knowledge that my ancient forefathers possessed. I have deep respect for all the incredible research and preservation that has gone into making the texts for the Vedas available. Nevertheless, it is important to me that I translate it into English, the language I can speak and understand with the most facility with, myself. Hence, this blog.
