Hi,
Your answer:
It is the reference book of all Vedic culture, ancestor of Hinduism.
The Veda means "The Knowledge".
The Çruti
This is the first category of texts, transmitted by "God" to the wise.
It is composed of the four sacred texts of Hinduism also called Vedas.
They are considered as the first literary documents relating the history of Humanity.
The Rig-Veda
The oldest of the Vedas is the Rig-veda. It is estimated that its writing began around 1400 BC and would extend over several centuries. The hymns are addressed to the deities, glorify the supreme power, ask health and protection and accompany the different moments of the worship. The Rig-Veda gives us an idea of the economic, social, religious and political context of the Vedic civilization. The first forms of Sanskrit mantras appear. Yoga is mentioned for the first time as a discipline but not as a practice.
Yajur-Veda and Sama-Veda
Yajur-veda and Sama-veda make up the liturgical part. The texts, in the form of verses and songs, are used by priests during ceremonies and rituals. They contain instructions on how to perform religious rituals. Sama-Veda is considered as the original music of India.
Accessible only to Brahmins, it is a way for them to assert their superiority over other castes.
Good bye ;)
