This book explores two prevalent beverages of the ancient Vedic period. Nearly 4000 years ago, these beverages called Soma (a stimulant) and Sura (beer like beverage) were in vogue. They were meticulously prepared and offered to deities in Soma Yajnas. The book illustrates why the supreme deity Indra was fond of consuming Soma. A study of the ingredients, the associated ideology and mythical content is presented along with the process for making and consuming these beverages.
