The Four Vedas - Sacred Hindu Texts Illustrated

The Four Vedas

Sinopsis

The Four Vedas, the ‘Rigveda’, ‘Yajurveda’, ‘Samaveda’ and the ‘Atharvaveda’ are the primary texts of Hinduism. They comprise vast collections of poems and hymns, composed in archaic Sanskrit by Indo-European-speaking peoples that flourished in northwest India during the 2nd millennium BC. These sacred works celebrate a wide pantheon of gods, including natural and cosmic phenomena, as well as abstract qualities. The ‘Rigveda’, the foremost of the Vedas, is among the oldest extant texts of world literature. Noted for their beautiful language and metrical brilliance, these hymns reveal philosophical depth and great spiritual understanding. Delphi’s Eastern Treasures Series provides eReaders with rare and precious texts of Asian literature, featuring prominent works of history, fiction, religion and philosophy, complemented with the original texts.  This eBook presents the complete four Vedas, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

NEW KALISHNIKOVS THE - AK-47 -...

Mike Blake

THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
effectiveness. 
In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact. 
* Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem.
