Inside Vedas
The Vedas are the oldest and most sacred scriptures of Hinduism, considered the foundation of the religion. They are a vast collection of ancient texts that were composed in Vedic Sanskrit. The word “Veda” is derived from the Sanskrit root “vid,” which means “knowledge” or “wisdom.”
The Vedas are not just religious texts but also contain significant philosophical, metaphysical, and scientific knowledge. They discuss the nature of reality, the concept of God (Brahman), the nature of the soul (Atman), and the principles of Dharma (righteousness) and Karma (actions and their consequences).
