The Vedas are the large bodies of religious text that is composed of Vedic Sanskrit and originated in ancient India. They form the oldest scriptures of Hinduism and the oldest layer of Sanskrit, literature. The Vedas are said to have passed on through verbal transmission from one generation to the next. Therefore, they are also known as Shruti. The Vedic literature consists of four Vedas, namely: Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda, and Atharva Veda. The mantra text of each of the Vedas is called Samhita. Each Veda has one or more of its own Brahmanas, and each Brahmana is generally associated with a particular Shakha or Vedic school. Less than twenty Brahmanas are currently extant, as most have been lost or destroyed. Dating of the final codification of the Brahmanas and associated Vedic texts is controversial, as they were likely recorded after several centuries of oral transmission. The oldest Brahmana is dated to about 900 BCE, while the youngest is dated to around 700 BCE. Vedas contain a lot of knowledge and are one of the ( ancient) oldest books in the library of humans. Veda is the base for all dharma, philosophy, culture and elements of hinduism. The knowledge contained in the Vedas is limitless. This is only possible because each mantra has a different meaning. The Veda is passed from rishis, and it has been passed on from one generation to another generation orally and transmitted in the same way till now. Hence, this is why Veda is called Shruti scripture. This book supplies the straightforward answers to questions that are not resolved by lofty Vedic textbooks or the complex commentaries. It condenses the information from a vide variety of sources and captures the basic tenets of the Vedic knowledge for the readers who are beginning their journey on the path of Indian spirituality and wisdom. This is the holy vedas. It covers rig veda, yajur veda, sama veda and atharva veda.
