_**About the Author**_
 Indrayani Sawkar was born in 1934. She has written 40 novels
and short story collections in Marathi. She has penned two novels in English, _She
the Accused_ and _The Man from Sun_ (published in 1998 and 2000 respectively). She
is also the author of a short story collection called _Weeds_. Her earlier work 
on Indian philosophy, _Stories of Sages_, was brought out by **Writers Workshop**
in 2007. She has been working as Assistant Editor with _Dainik Saamnaa_ since 1989.

_**Teaser**_
 After the publication of _**Stories of Sages**_, Mrs. Sawkar received
several requests from readers to write a book about the Vedas and other sacred Indian
texts in language that would be easily understood by present-day Indians who were
not very familiar with ancient Indian philosophical ideas. This book is a result
of those requests. In her introduction to the book, Mrs. Sawkar writes:

“Evolution of religious thought in India is a highly interesting topic. We all should
be familiar with it. An undercurrent of spirituality could be succinctly discerned
in that era; it strikes us as an inborn characteristic that had possessed all minds;
was a strong constituent of the fabric of society and was as powerful a trigger 
to changes of life style and creation of literary formats as scientific inventions
and discovery of new land rampant in those days. Even though archaeological evidence
in this misty era is disappointingly sparse, prevalent literature furbishes us with
a clear cut and enlightening foray into this topic.”
