Vedas

Yes, we know a significant amount about the Vedas period due to the preservation of Vedic texts such as the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. These texts provide insights into ancient Indian culture, religion, rituals, and language during the Vedic period.

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.

Yes, during Hindu ceremonies, priests often recite portions of the Vedas as they are considered sacred texts with hymns and rituals that are important for various rituals and ceremonies. The Vedas are believed to contain knowledge revealed to ancient sages and are seen as foundational texts in Hinduism.

The Rig Veda, one of the oldest sacred texts in Hinduism, is kept in the form of manuscripts in various libraries and institutions in India. The most well-known collection is maintained at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune, India.

The set of commentaries on the Vedas that emphasized spiritual meditation are known as the Upanishads. These texts explore philosophical and metaphysical concepts, aiming to deepen one's understanding of the nature of reality and the self through introspection and meditation.

The Hindu religion revere the Vedas the same as Christians view the bible. The significance of the Veda is that it tells the stories of gods that contain deep significance to the religion. Unlike the bible where the authorâ??s name is mentioned in each book, the Veda has no known author which personifies the mythical stories to followers.

The origin of Hinduism is unknown. It is one of the oldest religions of the world. It began even before scripting was invented. Vedas were transferred from one genration to the other as the word of mouth. They were believed to be compiled by Maharishi Vyas, who came to be known as Ved Vyas. Ved Vyas later created Purans

Answer2: The earliest hymns of the Vedas are believed to have been composed nearly 3,000 years ago and transmitted orally. "It was only in the fourteenth century A.D. that the Veda was written down," says P. K. Saratkumar in his book A History of India. Hinduism is a different way of understanding life, to which Western values are totally alien. Westerners tend to see life as a chronological line of events in history. Hindus see life as a self-repeating cycle in which human history is of little importance. It is no easy task to define Hinduism, since it has no definite creed, priestly hierarchy, or governing agency. However, it does have swamis (teachers) and gurus (spiritual guides). A broad definition of Hinduism given by one history book states that it is "the whole complex of beliefs and institutions that have appeared from the time when their ancient (and most sacred) scriptures, the Vedas, were composed until now." Another one states: "We might say that Hinduism is adherence to or worship of the gods Vishnu, or Shiva [Siva], or the goddess Shakti, or their incarnations, aspects, spouses, or progeny." That serves to include the cults of Rama and Krishna (incarnations of Vishnu), Durga, Skanda, and Ganesa (respectively the wife and sons of Siva). It is claimed that Hinduism has 330 million gods, yet it is said that Hinduism is not polytheistic. Indian writer A. Parthasarathy explains: "The Hindus are not polytheistic. Hinduism speaks of one God . . . The different gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon are mere representatives of the powers and functions of the one supreme God in the manifested world." Hindus often refer to their faith as sanatana dharma, which means eternal law or order. Hinduism is really a loose term that describes a host of religions and sects (sampradayas) that have developed and flourished over the millenniums under the umbrella of the complex ancient Hindu mythology. So intricate is that mythology that the New Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology states: "Indian mythology is an inextricable jungle of luxuriant growths. When you enter it you lose the light of day and all clear sense of direction. The oldest writings are the Vedas, a collection of prayers and hymns known as the Rig-Veda, the Sama-Veda, the Yajur-Veda, and the Atharva-Veda. They were composed during several centuries and were completed about 900 B.C.E. The Vedas were later supplemented by other writings, including the Brahmanas and the Upanishads. The Brahmanas specify how rituals and sacrifices, both domestic and public, are to be performed and go into great detail on their deep meaning. They were put into writing from about 300 B.C.E. or later. The Upanishads (literally, "sittings near a teacher"), also known as the Vedanta and written about 600-300 B.C.E., are treatises that set out the reason for all thought and action, according to Hindu philosophy. The doctrines of samsara (transmigration of the soul) and Karma (the belief that the deeds of a former existence are the cause of one's present state in life) were expressed in these writings.

Different Hindus will give you different answers. I treat them with reverence; as important texts with origins arguably dating before any other world scriptures, and which were instrumental in the development of my religion (and quite possibly many other religions).

Honestly, I can get more meaning and insight out of the Upanishads most times than out of much of the Vedas, but that could just be where I'm at now.

Yes, the Gayatri Mantra is considered the mother of the Vedas in Hindu tradition. It is a highly revered mantra that is found in the Rigveda and is regarded as one of the most powerful and sacred hymns.

The Vedic religion is an Indian religion in origin, most notably the predecessor of Hinduism
-The Vedic texts are scripts, works and hymns related to this religion and the gods of the Vedic religion..

A hymn, in general, is any song or poem of praise/thanksgiving to God or a deity.

The Vedas are ancient sacred texts of Hinduism composed in Sanskrit. They are considered the oldest scriptures and contain hymns, rituals, and philosophical teachings. There are four Vedas: Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda.

The Vedic scriptures are the spiritual literature of the ancient Indian culture, which consists of a huge collection of books written in the Sanskrit language. The Vedas includes material, religious, and spiritual knowledge. The four Vedas known as the Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva, are usually labeled as the original Vedic scriptures.

The Hindus have got several texts; many, many texts including the Vedas, Upanishads, the Puranas,the Bhagavad Gita. There are so many Hindu scriptures, but the most important of these are the Upanishads, which are the essence of the Vedas. All of the Hindu sacred texts finally summarize into what is known as the Mahavakyas or the four principle statements: Tat Twam Asi, Ayam Atma Brahma, Prajnanam Brahma, Aham Brahamasmi. These four principle statements are led into our life with two magic words called Neti Neti, which means we are not this body, we are not this mind, we are the Divine Soul. We are a manifestation of God. This is the essence of original Hinduism known as Sanatana Dharma.

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.

The Vedas are very ancient Hindu scriptures and they were written on leaves and the paper type materials available at that period. With the advent of the printing press the information was compiled and transferred into books.

The king of the Gods of India was, and is still, Indra the Rainmaker. Curiously, he's not the highest God, since the Trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva is still higher. This curious state of affairs is the result of the Aryan invasions, which brought new deities into an established hierarchy. Rather than try to displace the native gods, their simply affixed theirs to the top of the hierarchy, much the same as the kings and queens of Britain would later set themselves over the native princes, shahs and rajahs.

yes, they contributed a lot with the Vedic texts because the make life.
