Sri Aurobindo has stated that the business of the ancient rishi was not only to know God, but also to know the world and life and to express it in a format useful and accessible to the people. The Indian idea of the world, of Nature and of existence is not physical , but psychological and spiritual. Atharva Veda is perhaps the earliest book documenting these ideas in a poetic format. It has 20 Kanda-s with about 6,000 mantra-s, mostly metrical Riks.

Welcome to the translation of the Kanda 20 of Atharva Veda Mantra Samhita. Our plan is to bring out the translation of Atharva Veda in six volumes each book having about 900 to 1000 mantra-s.
