If you are thinking that Vedas are very difficult to understand, then you are not alone. This book examines the reasons of mysteries surrounding the true meaning of Vedas, and suggest the ways of decoding the true meaning. As the Author is translating the Vedas from original verses in Sanskrit, he has identified some very potent keys for decoding the meaning, and has shared the five most important keys for the readers, explaining the importance of those keys. You may enjoy the way the mysteries have been explained, starting with the colonial efforts for forced separation of Vedic Civilization from Sindhu civilization. Some proposed now fully dis-proved Aryan Invasion Theory, which assumed Vedas to be written by a vagabond invader group from outside India, who destroyed the existing ancient civilization of India. Mueller assumed the four parts of Sruti written continuously in periods of two hundred years each. So, narrators began their translation of Sayan Bhashya of Rigveda assuming it a product of shallow outsider culture. First, one needs to read Vedas considering them products of a well established Indian civilization. Author has identified the Ritualistic interpretations by Sayan adopted by all modern translators. Even Yaska advised to look for three types of meanings, first materialistic, second Adhi Daivik and third Spiritual, to understand Vedas. But this is not adopted. Most of the translators have translated the verses as prayers to some deities. Then the change of time, culture, and languages have been explored, along with other reasons. The Author has provided awesome keys for decoding the true meanings, which are not only very interesting to know, but also very practical and reasonable. Grab these five keys for decoding, and be a part of the journey of understanding true meanings of Vedas, starting with this first book on 'Vedas decoded" series.
