The hymns of Veda are a record of the manifold experience of the seers of the early ages. They spoke about the life of man and Gods and various functioning of the universal energies of the Supreme One. Listen to the Samgathana Sukta composed by the seer saṃvanana āṅgirasa and chanting by Vedabrahmarshi S. Shyamsundar Sharma and Vedabrahmasri Satyakrishna Bhatta.
