Review:

▶️Do you like reading Puranic stories like Mahabharata and Ramayana? Tell me about the puranic stories you love the most.

I love Ganga’s story and Ganesha’s story.

Coming to this masterpiece, ever thought our organs could symbolize Vedic Gods? The Puranic stories have significance in the way our organs function. Never thought right? Author Chockalingam Pragasam, in his book ‘Vedic Anatomy’ introduces us to the beautiful concept of the ancient stories and their significance with our body. Explored in English and Tamil Language, this book gives us diverse and valuable knowledge about the universe. From deities and their roles, the Puranas, Vedic civilization, the concept of the human cycle, solar and lunar calendars and a lot more.

This book is an experience of its own, with many stories and concepts that are interesting and insightful. It has stories heard and unheard and the way he relates them to the human body is mind-blowing. It has things which exist and we never thought about. What I loved most was the detailing. The way he explains the meanings of every name, and concept is outstanding. His writing style is crisp and descriptive making readers think of the version of stories they’ve heard.

Not to forget the charts and pictures he adds to make it easy for the readers. It has stories of different deities and their importance which is captivating. At times the book gets a bit heavy with too many things to absorb and learn. Give your time, pause and understand every concept, and you’ll know how there’s a connection between human organs, the deities and the way the organs function. The concepts will surely make the readers curious. We all know the stories but here we learn their importance and the reason for things. Here we get a little understanding of the Vedic texts.

He brilliantly connects stories and science which gives us a deeper understanding of how our body works. Read stories of your favourite deity and the importance they hold in your body. The author surely surprises the readers with the amount of research he did and the facts he shared. I enjoyed reading about various plants and their significance, Goddess Lakshmi and her eight names, explaining her role in the female human body, how Goddess Saraswati is associated with the colour white, what her instrument is and its significans in our body, and a lot more.

This book is a lot more as there are many things to learn here. The way he gives importance to the smallest detail makes this book more intriguing. Its an experience, altogether. A rich and enlightening read with stories and facts which you cannot miss, especially if you are someone who loves finding meanings and logic behind the stories. A must-read!
