I have heard the same story, independently, from several sources, so I am guessing it is true--esp. since IIRC Balraj seems to say the same. There was an article, I believe in the Journal Of Vedic Studies at Harvard which gave the history of what soma was believed to be. Some of it is pretty hilarious. ------------   Vaj,   Whatever those sources, the only genuine source for them would have to eventually be the Rig Veda. If you go read it for yourself, and find that you disagree with all the experts, you have succeeded in your studies.   What were some of the other candidates for Soma you thought hilarious (besides the Fly Agaric mushroom)?   -Mark To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
