Soma, or the moon, is one of the most important deities of the Rgveda. It is related to Surya the way purusha is related to prakrti. Soma is almost always the moon in the ninth book of the Rgveda. Soma, as a drink, was meant to celebrate the creative function of the moon as reflected in the tides, the menstrual cycle and the growth of plants.<ref>Subhash Kak (2000), [http://www.ece.lsu.edu/kak/ast.pdf Astonomy and its Role in Vedic Culture], Chapter 23 in Science and Civilization in India, Vol.1, The Dawn of Indian Civilization, Part 1, edited by G.
