The Rig Veda – the eternal knowledge - was revealed to the Rishis in immemorial times. Rishis felt the vibration of the cosmic sound and turned it into hymns. Rishis were seers, not composers.
Nalayira Divya Prabandham is composed by the Alwars. The Alwars were saints, mystics, poets.
Rig Veda is a seed, Divya Prabandham is a flower.
Pranam
Dance with Shiva - live with Shiva - merge with Shiva

NDP has the same content. Both Srimad Vaalmiki Ramayana and Srimad Mahabharata too have the same content. My sincere and humble suggestion would be to go for NDP first. It sets it up nicely.
Out of my own experience, I am saying the following. Srimad B.G or any other philosophical literature should be presided by preparing our mind to it. Unlike many of the mammals we Humans take minimum 12 to 14 months to stand on our feet. When I was reading Sri Raama Charitha Maanas learned that we need to ask/request Sri Raama Charitha Maanas to enlighten us. Depending on sects we are attracted to, our efforts will be more fruitful if we lay the firm foundation by reading the respective sects scriptures.
For eg, a Shaivite may opt to read Sri Shiv Purana before venturing into philosophy.
I wont return to HDF for some more time.
May Sriman Naaraayan Bless you. In the past you had said you weren't attracted to philosophical read(s), what changed your interest?

I wholly encourage everyone to read the veda - the entire version of it whether its Rg, Yajur, sama or Atharva.
But read the complete veda -
Samhita
Brahamana
Aryananka
Upanisad
But one warning, beware the ridiculous translations of some authors especially some foreigners...
