Overview

The Vedas are a collection of sacred texts originating in ancient India, composed in Vedic Sanskrit, and considered the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. They are divided into four main categories: the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda, and the Atharvaveda. These texts have had a profound influence on Hindu philosophy and spirituality, with concepts discussed in the Upanishads still being studied and debated by scholars like [[swami-vivekananda|Swami Vivekananda]] and [[ramana-maharshi|Ramana Maharshi]] today.
