The Vedic Concept of Soma.
Soma is an extremely interesting concept from our point of view.
Most of the existing research literature has done little to bring out its true functions, as conceived by our sages. We come across statements in literature which are extremely diverse in character regarding the nature and functions of soma. Well, we do not need any more guesses for causing confusion in the mind of the reader. Yes, soma is really a difficult concept. Yet, if we proceed systematically and study the Vedas, Brahmanas and the Upanisads with cross references, we can to some extent understand it.
