A New Book on Purusa Sukta

Purusa Sukta is a hymn on creation and is found in the Vedas. The book is titled ‘A New Approach to Purusa Suktam’ and is written by T. Venkatacharya. This English translation and exposition is based on Sanskrit commentary of Purusa Sukta by Rangantha Muni. Reviewing the book in The Hindu M. Narasimhachary says that this interpretation, which is quite novel, tries to explain the ‘mystery’ of creation of the universe in as simple a language as possible.
