The Vedic Hymn of Creation

Abstract: A 5 page analysis of the Vedic Hymn of Creation. The author, using the information found in the book of Genesis as a contrast, contends that from a Western perspective at least the Hymn tells us nothing about the creation other than telling us that there was one. It provides nothing regarding the specifics of that creation or really even of its order. Indeed, we are led to believe that even "the One" and "the Observer" came at some point after the creation of the cosmos. From a Western perspective, therefore, we can not place much value in the Vedic Hymn. Never-the-less, we must remind ourselves that just because we do not understand what the Hymn is telling us does not necessarily equate to the fact that no information is being provided. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
