v1.c6.s3.3
Even a cursory glance at the Vedas will at once show that our ancient ancestors had a great liking for the observation of natural phenomena, particularly the wonders of the sky. If one looks into any of the Vedas or even any part or any chapter thereof, it would not generally happen that one does not come across some passages describing the sky, the moon and the sun, the dawn and the sun beams, the stars and asterisms, the seasons and months, the day and night or the wind and clouds. The description itself is enchanting, life-like, beautiful, amazing and awe-inspiring. The author refrains from giving specimens of such descriptions for that would be a digression needlessly leading us far afield.
