The Vedic Gods | What is Rig Veda?
A brief introduction to Rig Veda for Westerners. This video will help you understand the cultural and historical context of Rig Veda, Vedic Gods, and Vedic Religion. Jack Donovan explains why he thinks the manly, chariot-driving warrior gods of Rig Veda are worth learning more about, and how the life-affirming Vedic perspective can be relevant to men living today.
Rig Veda is one of the first books that member of the Order of Fire's First Men read, and Vedic ideas figure prominently in Solar Culture and ritual.
⚡️NOTES
Pronunciation in this video is not authoritative -- just a rough attempt -- and we'll have our Vedic guru make a pronunciation video in the future.
Proto-Indo-European migrations are the subject of ongoing and changing debate, and are only casually sketched out here to show the connections between European, Iranian, and Vedic cultures. For a higher resolution understanding, read David Anthony's The Horse, The Wheel, and Language and supplement with this pinned post from Razib Khan:
