The Rigveda is an ancient collection of Sanskrit hymns. There are not many writings that are thought to be older, but one religious text that may have this distinction is the Atharvaveda.
The four types of Vedas are the Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. The Rigveda is a collection of hymns dedicated to various deities, while the Samaveda consists of melodies and chants used in rituals. The Yajurveda provides prose mantras for sacrificial ceremonies, and the Atharvaveda includes spells, prayers, and incantations related to daily life and healing. Together, these texts form the foundation of Vedic literature and Hindu religious practices.
The Martyr Mantras was created in 1990.
