Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Om Namah Sivaya To the strong Rudra bring we these, our songs of praise, to Him the Lord of heroes, He with braided hair, that it be well with our cattle and our men, that in this village all be healthy and well fed. Rig Veda 1.114.1. RVG, VOL. 1, 161 Instill in us a wholesome, happy mind, with goodwill and understanding. Then shall we ever delight in your friendship like cows who gladly rejoice in meadows green. This is my joyful message. Rig Veda 10.25.1. VE, 302 He is the never-created creator of all: He knows all. He is pure consciousness, the creator of time, all-powerful, all-knowing.
