Hmmm... When MMY refers to the "vedic," he's talking about all the "vedic literature" as he defines it PLUS any techniques he associates with that liteature, such as dyhan. http://ff.mum.edu/vedicreserve/ That a list of mantras doesn't appear in the Veda explicitly isn't any more relevant than the fact that the 100,000+ variations of the yoga asanas don't get explicit mention either --or are you saying that only asanas that are described/mentioned explicitly in the Vedas are genuine vedic asanas? ------------------------ Yahoo!
