El universo como una obra de arte

The Vedic religion is a complex and well-structured set of ideas, values ??and practices whose main features have remained intact for more than three thousand years, becoming over the centuries the fundamental components of Hinduism. This rigorous and clear introduction to the ancient and classical Vedic traditions of India deals essentially with the ideas that revolve around the divine and its relationship with the natural and human world, with cosmology and revelation in its correspondence with poetry and rituals, as well as the link between the human soul and the ultimate reality and its longing for liberation, immortality and transcendence. Both literature and Vedic practices reveal to us a meaningful universe that rests on a transcendent principle of harmony that, through the imagination, comes into being while protecting that harmony when it is threatened or restoring it when it has been destroyed. Thus, the ineffable gods who shaped the universe in their image and likeness are the creators of a cosmos that is nothing but an infinite and prodigious work of art of the imagination.
