The Holy Vedas - Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharva Veda

" Veda " means wisdom, knowledge or vision, and it manifests the language of the gods in human speech. The Vedas constitute the sublime knowledge revealed to our great ancestors while they were doing their penance. It is not an acquired knowledge. It is the sacred knowledge revealed to them in their meditation by the Supreme Divinity. The ancient sages, while doing their 'tapasya' and 'sadhna', heard the divine truths. Whatever was 'heard' or 'revealed' to the great sages was presented in the Vedas and the Upnishads.

The Vedas contain the mantras. These mantras have different specific purposes. Some of them are hymns addressed to the deities. Some of them are for ceremonial purposes or for the rites and rituals. Some deal with the social life. There are references to the sciences and mathematics also. Discussions on the topics of chemistry, astronomy, botany, zoology, physiology, medical therapeutics and bio-sciences are also found in the Vedas.
The Vedas reflect all the aspects of existence. They shed light on the Srishti ( the creation ), the Brahman, the atman, the life and all the related issues of spiritualism.
