Śruti, or the Ancient Indian Heard Word On the Deeds of the Creative Reason
The book, penned by Maria Krzysztof Byrski – an eminent authority on India, Poland’s former Ambassador to the country, and a long-standing lecturer at the University of Warsaw and Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi – offers a Polish translation and original exegesis of chosen hymns of the Rigveda, the oldest text of the Hinduist tradition. The author points out non-obvious affinities between the Hinduist and Christian thoughts and a refreshing potential availed to Christianity by the Rigvedic notion of creative sacrifice.
Keywords: Rigveda, Hinduism, sacrifice, Christianity.
