Episode Details

In this episode Chris reviews a selection of the most ancient creation stories known to man, from the Hindu text--The Rig Veda. He compares and contrasts with the Zoroastrian myth we looked at last week, which is equally ancient, but he doesn't stop there. He also offers comparisons in the Scandinavian Edda's and as far afield as ancient China. We then wrap up with what makes the Hindu accounts unique...and (spoiler alert)...it's the very same thing that leads to the Upanishads...a profound commandment to contemplate the great mystery behind all experience.

Enjoy ;)
