No. The sacred writing of Judaism is the Bible, also called the Tanakh. The Vedas are one of several Hindu Holy Books.
We have many holy books, hundreds of them. We consider a book holy if it can guide one in life. So there are Vedas, Gita, Upanishads, Puranas, and many more.
No. The vedas is not a Hindu God. The Vedas speak of a Supreme being of light that will come and remove the sins of the world. This supreme being of light is none other than Christ in reality. The vedas are not reliable as no one agrees to an accurate version that faithfully is recorded. Faith in the Vedas has been lost due to its nature of Animal sacrifice including cows for sins (yes hindu's cows were already sacrificed by your one and only holy scripture). The Vedas run at a very slight angle parallel with the old testament. Much of the old testament is almost word for word in the vedas. One wonders just how old the vedas must be.
There are many books for Hinduism. Ramayana and Mahabharata are the two important holy books of Hinduism. Bhagavad Gita [The technical part of Book 6 of the Mahabharata] is also the world famous one.
Hindus have four basic holy books. They are called vedas, and several other books as Mahabharata & Ramayana & Geeta.
No, the Ramayana is not one of the Vedas. The Vedas are ancient Hindu texts that form the foundation of Hindu philosophy and religion, while the Ramayana is an epic poem that tells the story of Prince Rama and his adventures.
Modern day Hinduism has hundreds of books, but the original Hindu faith is called Sanatana Dharma. It is not a religion, it is a way of life. The books of Sanatana Dharma are known as the Vedas. The Vedas are complex. The summary of the Vedas is called Vedanta, Vedanta is referred to as the Upanishads. The Upanishads are lengthy and many. The main Upanishads are eleven, but even they are difficult to understand. All the spiritual books of the original Hindu faith can be summarized into what is known as the four statements or the four Mahavakyas. The four principal statements are: Tat Twam Asi, Ayam Atma Brahma, Prajnanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi . The essence of these four statements is - we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are the Divine Soul. The core of the original Hindu faith can be summarized in these four statements.
Although, there are many holdy books like the Vedas, Upanishads etc, the Srimad Bhagwatam and Bhagwad Gita are worshipped by most people. The reason being that these two books can be easily understood by laymen and also, they contain the essence of the Vedas.
Rig Veda is the most sacred Hindu text.However, it is not the only Hindu sacred text because there are the other three Vedas viz. Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda, the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita, etc.However, Rig Veda is not only the oldest Hindu sacred text but is the only Hindu sacred text that deals with Brahmajnana, the complete knowledge of the facts of life that don't change with time, place or person.
There are no benefits because there is only one God - So says the Holy Scriptures like Torah, Bible, Quran and the Hindu Scripture the Vedas.
The word Hindu is not described in any Indian Sanskrit literature as well as in any old Hindu scriptures. Those who thinks that the word "Hindu" was originated from Sindhu are not having knowledge that the word Hindu is described only in Persian dictionary where it means black and Kaafir. Those who think that Sindhu is get modified to Hindu are wrong. No "Hindu" word is described in Indian Vedic literature. Expand your knowledge by studying Vedas the only Truthful scriptures in this whole world.
