The Quantum Book of Soma by Major-General GD Bakshi takes a deeper, expansive approach to Soma that is needed today, in harmony with the ancient Vedic seers and modern great yogis. He adds a detailed scientific dimension to the understanding of Soma relative to the secrets of modern physics and cosmology, as well as modern psychology and medicine, particularly to the workings of brain chemistry and the nervous system. This gives the book a special ability to motivate us and awaken our minds in the high-tech era, endowing the ancient Vedic mantras with a new expression through a futuristic vision of science.

This extensive book of nearly four hundred pages contains a wide spectrum of views and insights on Soma, from new translations of Soma hymns to an extensive explication of the botanical Somas and different plants, to a recognition of the artistic and sensory Somas. He examines the emotional and rasa aspect of Soma, with their connection to poetry and arts.

General Bakshi explores Soma extensively in neurobiology and mind body medicine and depth psychology, and ultimately its connection to the subtle body and chakras, and Agni/Kundalini, weaving modern science with yogic meditation. All these many types of Somas are part of a greater integral and universal view of the infinite and eternal reality, the Atman that is Brahman. His explanation of Soma in terms of Vedantic Mahavakyas like Tat Tvam Asi is most notable. Our inner Self is Soma, and the entire universe is Soma as this explication of Vedanta reveals.

Such new and dynamic studies of the Vedic teachings as General Bakshi has elaborated are essential today, not only to counter old distortions but to open the Consciousness raising potential of Vedic knowledge for everyone in the new planetary era.

May your highest Soma or Ananda flow within you by examining the Soma wisdom of the Vedic Rishis through this in depth and detailed book.
