Gods, Sages and Kings presents a remarkable accumulation of evidence pointing to the existence of a common spiritual culture in the ancient world from which present civilization may be more of a decline than an advance. The book is based upon new interpretation of the ancient Vedic teachings of India, and brings out many new insights from this unique source often neglected and misinterpreted in the West. In addition, it discusses recent archaeological discoveries in India whose implications are only now beginning to emerge. Gods, Sages and Kings reveals the geography of the ancient Vedic world, including the sacred Himalayan lands of the Soma. It shows the lineages of the Vedic kings and the realms that they ruled. It deciphers the ancient Vedic calendar and its sophisticated system of astronomy goig back to before 4000 B.C. and uncovers the yogic practices of the ancient Vedic seers that appear to be behind all the religions of the World. Gods, Sages and Kings suggests that all the peoples of the ancient world may be related to the Vedic culture including those of Sumeria, Egypt, China and the Americas. The book challenges the accepted views of the origins of civilizations in a profound way and thus causes the readers to re-examine what it means to be a human being.
