In The Secret of the Veda, Sri Aurobindo showed that there is a deep, esoteric sense to the Vedic hymns that is the real sense of the hymns.  This Hymn the Purusha Sukta, relates to the Divine Being that encompasses the entire universe, creator, containing and embodying the entire creation at the same time.  The English translation was provided by Nolini Kanta Gupta.  The recordings were made at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1973.  Sanskrit recited by Sri Vinayak.  English translation recited by Santosh Krinsky

The first hymn in the Rig Veda is described and translated by Sri Aurobindo.  In The Secret of the Veda Sri Aurobindo utilizes this hymn to show the psychological significance of the Veda and to illustrate its method of dual meaning of the terms, having both an outer, exoteric, and an inner, esoteric significance.  He translates this hymn in full in Hymns to the Mystic Fire.  The recordings were made at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1973.  Sanskrit recited by Sri Vinayak.  English translation recited by Santosh Krinsky
