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.  To illustrate the method of interpretation, Sri Aurobindo chose 13 hymns and provided translation and commentary under the heading 'Selected Hymns'.  This is the first of these selected hymns, the Colloquy of Indra and Agastya.  (The Secret of the Veda, US edition, pp. 241-244) The English translation was provided by Sri Aurobindo.  The recordings were made at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1973.  Sanskrit recited by Sri Vinayak.  English translation and excerpts from Sri Aurobindo's commentary recited by Santosh Krinsky
