This is a book which describes the full powers of the Hindu god, Agni.
This is the third of a series, The Secret History of the Vedas. Written in a lively, engaging style, the purpose of the series is to educate, entertain, and inform the Reader, and as any book ought to do, teach the Reader something, or to have the Reader find what I written to be
interesting enough to where they want to learn more.
This is a book all about Agni. Agni is the premier God in the Hindu pantheon. He is known as the God of Fire. But a simple substance like “Fire,” though simple, Agni represents many fires, and these fires each have a specialized meaning and function in the Vedi dharma. This book explores these meanings and functions.
Excerpt
Agni may be an overwhelming Vedic force and energy to comprehend
simply due to his own vast powers, capabilities, manifestations, aspects
and epithets —all of which are an accurate reflection of his true nature
but must be taken in small portions to be fully appreciated. A great deal
can be learned about Agni by the most simple method.

All About Agni is all about the fire god second in line to Indra and the fire of the sun and lightning. This book has a wonderful breakdown of the five fires doctrine. It is great for beginners like myself because it explains things in simple terms and definitions accompanied by helpful charts that guide you along the way.
Agni can be complicated and complex, but I had no trouble understanding the five fires from what I learned from this book. I learned a lot of enlightenment from this book and I believe that it will stick with me long after having read it.
I would recommend this book for people looking to learn a clear vision of Agni. James Kalomiris is a master at teaching through the written word. I suggest reading this book in small intervals to let the compact information set for a bit before moving on. Namaste!
