ANGIRAS
Also known as ANGIRASA

Highly intellectual sage and profound meditator

One of the PRAJAPATIS, he is a Vedic seer who was created by BRAHMA out of his own thoughts. Consequently ANGIRAS is phenomenally intelligent and receptive to all manner of spiritual broadcasts.

He picked up most of the sacred fourth Veda just by concentrating and was kind enough to transmit it to humanity.

Apart from a break to get married and father a new generation of holy sages, he has spent most of his existence in a meditation so profound that he is now at one with practically everything. Your chances of attracting his attention for earthly concerns appear to be slim.

We are often asked about merchandise. Can we supply the latest Angiras graphic novel, book or comic? Not to mention role-playing games (RPG), video games, Angiras movies on DVD, BluRay and so on. To purchase such goodies we suggest you search for a dedicated mythology-based online store - or try Amazon, Ebay or other reputable websites. We offer a wide range of our own merchandise in our online GodShop, but we don't currently sell third party items. Yet!

Visitors often email us asking about Angiras statues, sculptures or carved figurines of Angiras. We regret we cannot assist with identifying such items.
