What is Vedic Science? Vedic science is what some call the recent attempts to systematize ancient, pre-scientific thought found in early Indian scriptures, especially the Vedas. Some find these writings to anticipate Western science. Others see them as a pseudoscience promulgated by right-wing Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) politicians.
It appears they loved sweets and this book is full of great natural desserts. Cakes, cheesecakes, cookies and candies, bars, sweets made with milk, puddings, pies and pastries.
These are also a great a collectible of the 1960-1970ies-era Berkley.
