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

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

There are four Vedas:

  • The Rig Veda
  • The Sama Veda
  • The Yajur Veda
  • The Atharvana Veda

Each Veda has four layers:

  • Samhithas (a collection of hymns)
  • Brahmanas (directions about sacrifice)
  • Aranyaka (the forest songs)
  • Upanishads (which searches for the meaning behind it all)
