Best Answer

The three Vedas are perhaps the holiest of Hindu Scriptures. Also, the Upanishads are the holiest expressions of personal encounter with the divine, while the Gita is a personal road-map or philosophy of life for those who wish to achieve spiritual liberation through their own encounter with the divine Godhead, or Brahman.

The VEDAS are the most important and sacred texts of Hindus. The Vedas are the world's most ancient scripture.

The earliest written Vedas date to about 1400 B.C.E (Before the Common Era), but the songs they capture in letters are a great deal older, although no one can say by how much.

The language of the Vedas is Sanskrit, a language that is so holy that the very word Sanskrit means "perfect".

There are four Vedas:

  1. The Rig Veda
  2. The Sama Veda
  3. The Yajur Veda
  4. The Atharvana Veda

Each Veda has four layers:

  1. Samhithas (a collection of hymns)
  2. Brahmanas (directions about sacrifice)
  3. Aranyaka (the forest songs)
  4. Upanishads (which searches for the meaning behind it all)

Other sacred texts of Hindus are:

  • Ramayana
  • Mahabharatha
  • Bhagwad Geeta
  • Srimad Bhagvatam
  • Manusmriti
  • Shiva Purana

The Vedas are considered the most sacred among other holy books of Hinduism.

All these scriptures were originally written in Sanskrit. However, later most of them were translated to other regional and international languages.
