The Hindu Vedas are ancient sacred texts that form the foundation of Hinduism. Composed in Sanskrit, they consist of four main collections: the Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. Each Veda contains hymns, rituals, and philosophical teachings that guide spiritual practices and beliefs. The Vedas are considered timeless and are revered as authoritative scriptures. They cover various aspects of life, including ethics, cosmology, and rituals, and are often recited during religious ceremonies. Their teachings have influenced many aspects of Indian culture and spirituality throughout history.
