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

The earliest written Vedas date to about 1400 B.C.E (Before the Common Era), but the songs they capture in letters are a great deal older, although no one can say by how much.

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

The original written Vedas are four:

  1. The Rig Veda
  2. The Sama Veda
  3. The Yajur Veda
  4. The Atharva Veda

Each Veda has four layers:

  1. Samhitas (a collection of hymns)
  2. Brahmanas (directions about sacrifice)
  3. Aranyaka (the forest songs)
  4. Upanishads(wich search for the meaning behind it all)

Other sacred texts of Hindus are:

  1. Ramayana
  2. Mahabharatha
  3. Bhagwad Geeta
  4. Srimad Bhagvatam
  5. Manusmriti
  6. Shiva Puranam
