Rig Veda, Hymn to the Night (Ratri Sukta), Mandala X, Sukta 127

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 Ratri Sukta, explores the relation of the Night to the Dawn, the "sister" who brings the light.  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
