<FONT face="Courier New">\def\TextB<BR>{\parbox {132mm}{%<BR>More than three thousand years ago, small groups of semi-nomadic peoples<BR>crossed the mountain regions that separate Central Asia from Iran and the<BR>subcontinent of India. They spoke an Indo-European language, which developed<BR>into Vedic, and imported the rudiments of a social and ritual system. Like<BR>other speakers of Indo-European languages, they celebrated fire, called<BR>Agni, and like their Iranian relatives, they adopted the cult of Soma -- a<BR>plant, probably hallucinogenic, which grew in the high mountains. The<BR>interaction between these Central-Asian adventurers and earlier inhabitants<BR>of the Indian subcontinent gave birth to Vedic civilization, named after the<BR>four Vedas, oral compositions that have been transmitted by word of mouth to<BR>the present day. The Vedas depict Vedic religion, in the words of Louis<BR>Renou (1953:29), as ``first and foremost a liturgy, and only secondarily a<BR>mythological or speculative system.''<BR>}}</FONT><BR>
