If one reads this book once, cover to cover, one will understand the meaning of the Veda and attain the keys to interpret the hymns in the Veda. After this, if one reads this book backwards, one will understand the inner details of the Tantras, especially the specific language of the Tantras.
Today, it is unknown even in India that the Divinities make up the fabric of Vedic metaphysics. In fact scholars, not understanding the relevance of these Divinities and their representations, have only a vague idea of the Veda and therefore the remaining branches of Indic science, for instance, the Agamas, Tantras, Yoga etc.
This book has been written by Bhagavan Shanmukha with Shri Ma Kristina as practitioners of Vedic and hence the Tantric sciences. These books reveal a Traditional approach and are very important for one who is seeking accurate knowledge of the Veda and its related sciences. The word Tradition does not refer to the existing orthodoxy of India. These books reset the blunders of Orientology and are useful both for advanced Orientologists who are teaching and for students seeking to map out the topics of study in Orientology. They are especially useful for one who is interested in understanding the details of the traditional knowledge as a spiritual seeker. Whether you are a neophyte wanting to understand Tantric spiritualism or an advanced seeker wanting to know about Tantra, its philosophy and ideology, metaphysics and relevance to modern life, these two books forms the most important basis for the study of spiritualism and especially the Tantras. The inseparability of the Veda and the Tantras can be seen in these books.
