One Thousand Names of Soma: Elements of Religious and Divine Ecstasy Kindle Edition

by James Kalomiris (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
This is the second of a series, The Secret History of the Vedas. Written in a lively, engaging style, the purpose of the series is to educate, entertain, and inform the Reader, and as any book ought to do, teach the Reader something, or to have the Reader find what I written to be interesting enough to where they want to learn more.

Soma is a mercurial presence in the combined wisdom of Hinduism, the Vedic dharma. Soma can mean many things in the Vedic dharma and pinning Soma down to a single entity in one book is difficult. This book accomplishes this goal of giving the best explanation of who and what Soma is in the Rig Veda.

This book contains one thousand epithets---names---for Soma found in the Ninth Book of the Rig Veda. It gives a complete picture of Soma according to the Vedic dharma.

About the Author

II am a PhD, and I have a law school degree. I have a Philosophy degree from college. I studied post-Graduate work in political science, where I first became acquainted with Karl Marx. I have worked in a law office for over twenty-five years where I honed my analytical skills. I have also studied the Vedas and Hinduism for well over fifteen years. In that time, I studied and reflected on the issues presented in my series, The Secret History of the Vedas. I apply those secrets to the contemporary world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I struggled with the meaning of Soma until reading this book!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2023
    Soma means a variety of things in the vedic dharma. This book helps break down the many definitions of Soma clearly and concisely and is both entertaining and educational. I used to have a difficult time pinning down the meaning of Soma until I read this book. The book is divided into different categories that helped me absorb the information to where I could finally comprehend it. I would recommend this book for anyone who is seeking more insight on Soma. This book is a great teaching tool for beginners as well as seasoned followers because it is a thorough deep dive into Soma and all of it’s glory. This is the second book in the series and I cannot wait to check out the next volumes and discover the mysteries within. Namaste!
