Books on the Vedas

[Guest guest]

Namaste Kumari,

 

Good to see you. How wonderful that you are interested in Vedic

studies/Santana Dharma.

 

So sorry that all the questions you asked, I can't answer because I'd

had my books kept in storage when I moved overseas and haven't got

them shipped over. I think 2 or 3 books are in the same series,

maybe all 4 of them. But I'm sure my versions have many volumes

though. Its been far too many years since I'd referred to, or re-

read them.

 

Please enquire directly with Rudra Centre and they will be able to

provide you with all the answers. Please send your Enquiry to:

Om Bholenath
