Preface
1
THE VERSES of the Rikveda belong
to the oldest literature known to men. The Rikveda is a collection of 1028 hymns
(10,500 verses in all). The hymns are arranged in ten books of unequal length.
Many verses don't seem spiritual at first glance, and yet Hindus keep them
sacred. In fact, the Rikveda is the highest spiritual authority for orthodox
Hindus. Ancient Aryans recited some of these verses (mantras) for prayer and
many sorts of sacrifices, in order to get to wordly and more immaterial
favours.In the light of this and more, there is reason to believe that many verses contain masked information; without which one errs in understanding many essential points. Hence, what could be missing is an "Application program" for each verse, built on fit decoding keys.

AS FOR the language in this version, it is packed with errors and much other unpleasant stuff. One day it may be be fixed. - T. Kinnes.
