Guest guest Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Namaste Subbu, The mantra for Mahalaxmi is: Om Shreem Mahalakshmiye Namah Om. The mantra for Venus is: Om Shum Shukraye Namah Om. About book regarding Vedas for the layman who can learn slowly but steadily, please have a look at Rudra Centre's book section. Here are a few images and details: Rigveda Samhita - 4 volume set The Rigveda is the result of the efforts of 414 Rishis (saints). All these Rishis contributed their Mantras on wide range of topics, popularly knows as Devatas. All the other Vedas are based upon it. It is built around a science of sound which comprehends the meaning and power of each letter. Most aspects of Vedic science like the practice of yoga, meditation, mantra and Ayurveda can be found in the Rig Veda and still use many terms that come from it.The book contains Sanskrit text with English translation and notes for easy reading. /dispProduct.php?prodId=245 The Samaveda The Samaveda is the word of God revealed in the beginning of creation for the moral, spiritual, economic and uplift of humanity. The Samveda contains hymns chanted by Udgatri priests during the performance of important sacrifices connected with the preparation of Soma juice. These hymns are invocation addressed to Soma, Agni and Indra.The book contains Sanskrit text with English translation for easy reading. /dispProduct.php?prodId=247 Yajurveda Samhita Yajurveda is a collection of Yajusas. The purpose of the ritual is to put together and recreate within ourselves the Cosmic Man or Indra. The ritual is to recreate the universe within our own psyche and thereby unite the individual with the universal. Its series of sacrifices culminate in the Atmayajna or the self-sacrifice wherein the ego is offered up to the Divine. The book contains Sanskrit text with English translation and notes for easy reading. /dispProduct.php?prodId=250 Atharvaveda Samhita - 3 volume set The Atharva Veda is the last of the Vedas. It gives a better idea of the life of common people in Vedic times. It has popular magic spells which are outside of the strictly ritual-knowledge orientation of the other Vedas. Rudra-Shiva assumes a more visible role in this Veda.The book contains Sanskrit text with English translation and notes for easy reading. /dispProduct.php?prodId=253 Hope this helps.
