 RG Veda :: Boys on Boys on Film   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
RG Veda was originally a manga series spanning ten volumes (coming soon in English from Tokyopop), but the anime is only two 45-minute episodes which tell part of the beginning of the story.
RG Veda was released in the early 1990's, and this shows in the animation and music.
RG Veda does not really feature that many slashable moments -- unless you don't mind the very strange couple of Yasha and Ashura -- but it is artistically beautiful and intriguing.

 Refernces to Sanskrit Texts and Scriptures
Veda is a generic name for the most ancient Indian sacred literature, i.e.
The words of the Veda could only be known in their true meaning by one who was himself a seer or mystic; from others the verses withheld their hidden knowledge.
Many of the lines, many whole hymns even of the Veda bear on their face a mystic meaning; they are evidently an occult form of speech, have an inner meaning.

 Examples of Integrated, Multi-set Concept Schemes: Tonal patterns of Rg Veda poetry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Rg Veda is a collection of hymns which constitutes the earliest literary document of the Indian tradition, which is believed to have been composed between 2,500 and 1,500 BC.
The numbers Rgvedic man cared about define alternate tunings for the musical scale.  The hymns describe the numbers poetically, distinguish "sets" by classes of gods and demons, and portray tonal and arithmetical relations with graphic sexual and spatial metaphor.  Vedic concerns were with those invariances which became the focus of attention in Greek tuning theory.
Ten-ness dominates the arithmetic of the Rg Veda in ways never suspected until the appropriate triangular yantras (algebraic arrays of integers) are developed for each cosmic cycle..." (McClain, p.

 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Rg Veda
Perhaps the main problem with RG Veda is that in a certain sense it is somewhat inaccessible to those who haven’t read the manga.
I’ve already taken to thinking of RG Veda as a “training production.” Though I suppose it was based on one of CLAMP’s earlier works and was one of their first actual animated adaptations, so I guess that makes sense.
I can’t even say that RG Veda was a particularly impressive work in regard to any of its technical aspects.

 A glimpse of VEDIC LITERATURE - by Kumar Sanjay Jha
The Rg-Veda is the oldest among all Vedas.
Upanishads are also called Vedanta (the end of the Veda) firstly, because they denote the last phase of the Vedic period and secondly, because they reveal the final aim of the Veda.
The Vedas are not the outcome of logical interpretation, not a historical anecdote, but they are Divine revelations.

 Vishnu - A Symbolic Appreciation
The Vishnu of the Rig Veda is a manifestation of light, whose head was, by a trick of the gods, severed from his body.
Indeed in the Vedas he is the all-pervading sun, whose rays envelop the earth, as does Vishnu himself, in his role as protector of the wo rld.

This Ashura is not to be confused with the Ashura who appears in Shurano, who is based on Ashura the protagonist of RG Veda.

They stand in for the meanings of Rg Veda manthrams (Rks).They contain the essence of Yajur Veda Manthrams.They destroy all obstacles that stand in the way of acquisition of para and apara vidhyais;they appear like the never-ceasing waves from the ocean of true Jn~Anam.
The tradional hierarchy among the VedAs is Rg, Yajus and Saamam.Most of the Saama veda ManthrAs are rks from Rg Vedam set to music.
The same Rk in Rg Vedam deals with knowledge and the identical Rk(Saaman) in saama Vedam deals with prayer and worship (AarAdhanam) to a devatA, whose antharyAmi is Sri Lakshmi HayagrIvan, the Sarva VidhyA Moorthy.

 GreenCine | product main - RG Veda (1992)
It has the same elements of good vs. evil on a godly scale, heroes with superhuman destructive powers, imprisoned divine seers who foretell doom, angsty familial conflict with an estranged mother and a just-discovered sibling, a finely detailed drawing style, and lots and lots and LOTS of long flowing hair.
If you haven't seen anything by the manga collective CLAMP, RG Veda is not a bad place to start and it's only two episodes long.
Also, keep in mind that despite the title, RG Veda is not a direct retelling of the Hindu myth.

 IGN: RG VEDA Vol. 1 Review
For fans of the RG VEDA anime series, most of what they read in CLAMP's Tokyopop line will seem like old hat, like re-visiting an old friend and learning a little more about them in the process.
The prophecy at the heart of RG VEDA is one of the more interesting ones in that the future it foretells doesn't seem to be all that much better than the present.
Chapter One, The Resurrection of Ashura, introduces the readers to the world of RG VEDA, a world ruled by the warrior King Taishakuten whom, after taking the throne (and the head) of the God King Tentei, has brought an era of peace at the point of a sword.

 Archived Entry - 04/23/2005: "Manga review: RG Veda, Vol. 1"
Rg Veda is CLAMP's first major work, and though the name refers to the Rig Veda, the story seems unrelated to the Sanskrit original.
As this story begins, the cruel king Taishakuten sends his servant Lord Yasha to kill the Royal Stargazer Kuyou, who has escaped from her prison.
At the end of the book, a three page "RG Veda Bonus Manga" is actually a parody of the main story, where Bishamonten tells Taishakuten, "Leave it to me, dude.

 RG Veda
RG Veda, based on their earliest manga series, doesn't do anything to help their popularity.
This anime was created before CLAMP insisted on making Magic Knight Rayearth and X, so one cannot expect the same level of quality you see in other anime adaptations of their work.
Maybe with such a huge interest in everything CLAMP nowadays, a production team might pick up RG Veda and realize its worth.
