Purusha Suktam and Narayana Suktam

Tracing the projection of everything in the universe to the Supreme Brahman, the Purusha Sukta, a short hymn of eighteen Riks, contains a succinct of the Vedanta philosophy, which deals with the relation between man, God, and the universe.  This Sukta finds a place in all the vedas with slight variations.  The text followed here is the one appearing in Taittiriya Aranyaka, III,12-13.

The well-known Narayana Sukta, also from Taittiriya Aranyaka, X.13, whose "ideas" form the basis of meditation on the Supreme Person, is also included in this booklet.

Devanagari text with chant marks, and English translation are provided.
