Purusha Sukta

The Purusha Sukta is a sacred hymn from the Rigveda that describes the cosmic spirit, called Purusha, as the source of everything in the universe. It portrays how this divine being's body forms all aspects of creation—gods, humans, animals, and the natural world. The hymn emphasizes interconnectedness and the idea that the universe and life itself emerge from a universal consciousness. It highlights the unity of all existence, suggesting that everything is an integral part of a single divine essence, fostering a sense of harmony and collective identity.
