Rig veda is oldest---all the four are equally great!
THE SUPREME VEDAAll Vedas are considered to be equally sacred.
However,
1. Rig Veda is about theoretically perfect life.
2. The facts in Rig Veda, in symbolic form, are independent of time, place and person.
3. It also covers the entire spectrum of life.
4. It always takes into account the entire life.
These facts make Rig Veda absolutely reliable under all conditions.
In contrast, the remaining three Vedas are about practical life. Thus, they are about making life better but under fewer conditions. This makes them less reliable than Rig Veda under some conditions.
Therefore, Rig Veda is the supreme of the four Vedas.
All four 'Vedas' are in 'Sanskrit' language.
The Rigveda
Samaveda
vedic texts were a collection of thoughts about the Vedas
There are four types of Vedas: Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. The Vedas were not written by a single author; they are considered to be timeless knowledge revealed to sages through deep meditation.
According to popular Hindu belief Vedas are the direct commandments form God. Thus Vedas representing one Supreme God are very important.
Vedas are four books of sacred Hindu writing which are; the Rig-Veda, the Sama-Veda, the Atharva-Veda, and the Yajur-Veda. Vedas are important because they are a very high source of teachings.
There are four Vedas in Hinduism: Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. Each Veda consists of hymns, rituals, prayers, and spiritual teachings.
Kannada Devangas may belong to any of the four Vedas. It is not necessary for them to belong to only one Veda.
Scholars have determined that the Rig Veda, the oldest of the four Vedas, was composed about 1500 B.C.(3510 years ago).
Obviously Vedas. Vedas are four - Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda. These contain verses as well as prose.
There are the four Vedas (the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana Vedas) but the period of the development of Hinduism in which they were written (and some time before that) is sometimes referred to as the Vedic period. So, hypothetically, any text from that time could be "Vedic" but as a general rule the Vedic texts are the texts that only come from the four Vedas.
