It is easier to deride the high and naked peaks of synoptic insight and opt for the worship...

TESTIMONIALS

The site has an amazing selection of books, with the kind of prices that I haven't found anywhere on the internet or bookstores across Canada! Even shipping which I had expected to be a lot initially, was an unbelievable price, a really low price to pay for the knowledge you get in return if you ask me. I received my order within 2 days of it being shipped, and arrived on the auspicious day of Janamashtmi! I feel blessed to have stumbled across Vedic Books - I know that I now have access to the greatest vedic literature at extremely affordable and sometimes unbelievable pricing - that in itself is a great feeling! Thank you Vedic Books for providing the services you provide and making vedic literature so affordable and accessible for everyone!...
