The author of this book, Swami Harshananda, a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order, has succinctly yet effectively given an exegesis with free translation of this Sukta throwing light on its import and value.
Common and popular though it is, very few persons-including most of the priests who chant it-know its meaning, and much less the beauty and sublimity of its philosophy.
A humble attempt has been made in this monograph to present the abstruse, but sublime, teaching of this important Sukta in as simple a manner as the subject permits.
We earnestly hope that this attempt will enable the readers to be enlightened, at least to some extent, in understanding this difficult text.
The Vedas, the basic scriptures of Hinduism, are primarily concerned with this tattvavicara and tattvajnana. They deal with the esoteric wisdom that can help us to unravel the mysteries of life which are ever beyond the ken of the senses and the sensuous mind. The Purusasukta is not only an integral part of this Veda, but also one of the most important expositions of its teaching.
