ॐ this month marks the 10 year anniversary of the very first Ric Veda song i ever wrote. here it is "Now". enjoy ॐ  

The name Ric Veda comes from an english translation of The Rig Veda ऋग्वेद, which in Sanskrit Rig means 'praise' and Veda means 'knowledge'. it's the earliest of the four Hindu religious scriptures known as the Vedas.
